Time for Hawkfrost's death! I don't really like this as much as Swiftpaw's death, really. I'm going to stick to AliKayNya's theme (Hawky gets possesed, blah blah blah), sort of. Thanks, Maxlin997, for suggesting this! Also, I listened to Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold (caution: bad words) which was really awesome. Warriors belongs to Erin Hunter. Please review and enjoy! :D

"No... I won't do it." Brambleclaw muttered staring into Hawkfrost's mismatched eyes.

Surprisingly, he leaned down to Firestar and dug at the steak, "Keep still, Firestar, I'll have you out of this in a heartbeat."

Hawkfrost yowled, accompanied by his father within him and lunged at Brambleclaw, feeling the untamed power in his paws.

"Coward!" Hawkfrost screamed, "Keep away and I'll kill him myself!"

Brambleclaw freed his paw and reluctantly hit Hawkfrost in the throat, knocking his brother away to a patch of ferns. Brambleclaw began to quickly dig away at the steak again, knowing Hawkfrost would soon regain his power. The cord around Firestar's neck loosened.

Suddenly, Hawkfrost darted towards him, but Brambleclaw evaded it, though still feeling Hawkfrost's claws rip violently through his fur. Brambleclaw gasped at the wound, gushing blood out of his side, and realized that Hawkfrost could easily kill him.

Hawkfrost was behind Brambleclaw now, stumbling towards him and snarled, "Traitor! You're a traitor to everything our father planned! You were never strong enough to be like him!"

Brambleclaw turned, fire in eyes, and murmured, "I don't want to be like him."

"Then you're a fool. And stupid, too," Hawkfrost hissed, "You never realized this was a test. It was Tigerstar's idea. He said that if you deserved power, you would do anything to get it."

"Even kill my Clan leader?" Brambleclaw asked, disbelieving.

"Especially that!" Hawkfrost snarled, "But you're as weak as Tigerstar feared, we have great plans for the forest, he and I, and you could have been part of them."

Hawkfrost suddenly grinned widely, smelling Brambleclaw's fear. "But we don't need you." he purred, staring his brother in the eyes.

Brambleclaw flattened his ears and stepped toward his brother, sadness in his eyes, "Go back to RiverClan. You're my brother. I don't want to hurt you."

Hawkfrost's face betrayed a hint of sadness and understanding for only a moment, but the Tigerstar part of him pushed it down. "Because you're weak," Hawkfrost growled half-heartedly, "You care more about kin than power. But I don't."

Hawkfrost pinned Brambleclaw down again, snapping his teeth at his throat. Brambleclaw churned his paws against Hawkfrost's stomach, occasionally spilling a little blood.

Brambleclaw turned his head and suddenly picked up the steak under his shoulder at the same time Hawkfrost lunged down. The steak met Hawkfrost neck and he tried to scream out, only finding he couldn't. Blood sprayed everywhere, mostly onto Brambleclaw's face.

Hawkfrost stepped off of Brambleclaw and collapsed near the edge of the lake.

Brambleclaw suddenly got up and screamed despairingly, tears welling at the corners of his amber eyes, "Hawkfrost!" he kneeled down beside his brother, "I-I... didn't want this..." he put a paw around Hawkfrost's side, trying to comfort the dying warrior.

Hawkfrost quickly lept up and turned towards the surprised Brambleclaw. The steak still deep in his throat, blood pouring onto the ground and onto his paws, spitting and hacking out blood, Hawkfrost managed to snarl out a few words, "Fool! Do you think I was alone? Do you think you're safe within your own Clan? Think again!"

Brambleclaw stepped forward into the blood, wailing, "What? What do you mean? Tell me, Hawkfrost! Who do you mean?!"

Hawkfrost started laughing maniacally and coughing up blood, stumbling away and leaning against a tree, feeling weak. Hawkfrost turned back to Brambleclaw and looked at him one last time as the menacing amber faded from his right eye, to be replaced with sadness, despair, pain, and tears in both their gazes.

Hawkfrost's icy eyes rolled back into his head as his legs gave out beneath him. He fell slowly into the lake. His body was scattered in unnatural positions, paws splayed in his own gushing blood.

The lake turned blood-red as Brambleclaw hung his head, letting a single tear fall onto his brother's cheek.

He thought he heard a whisper, his brother's, in his mind, "We will meet again, my brother. This is not over yet..."
