Thx for the reviews. :) :P :) :P

Stripesky

Stormshade stared at Stripesky as Silverpaw and Jayfeather bustled around him then took a step back. "We cannot help him, he is on his way to Starclan." Jayfeather said with regret in his voice.

Stormshade couldnt believe what she was hearing, Stripesky couldnt be going to Starclan, he was young, too young to die. She ran through the crowd of cats to her brother's side. He was breathing but each breath was becoming more quick and rapid.

Then his breathing stopped entirely. Stripesky was gone, dead. Stormshade turned her head and looked around at the watching cats. There was sorrow in all of their eyes but she couldnt see who she was looking for. Then Hollyfrost, Darkclaw and Duskheart came trotting back into camp, they must have been chasing the Shadowclan warriors.

They were smiling and purring but all traces of happiness faded from their faces when they saw who was lying in the middle of camp. Hollyfrost lunged forward to Stripesky's side with Darkclaw and Duskheart following closely.

It was silent for a few moments before cats started to disperse to their dens. Stormshade knew that Jayfeather and Silverpaw would try to persuade her to go back to the apprentices den but she wouldnt, whatever they said. There was no way she would be leaving Stripesky.

Jayfeather and Silverpaw had tried to persuade her to go bact to the apprentice den but Stormshade refused, even when Darkclaw said she should go back to the den she had told them she wouldnt leave Stripesky.

They had realised that Stormshade wouldnt leave Stripesky so they retired to the medicine den, but not before Silverpaw had bought Stormshade some catmint, which would hopefully stop her white-cough getting worse before sunrise.

Stormshade had her thick grey fur fluffed out against the cold and felt thankful that it was keeping the worst of the cold out. Her breath was visible infront of her mouth, so was Hollyfrost's, Duskheart's and Darkclaw's. Stripesky's wasnt, Stripesky would never breath again.

Stormshade watched the sun start to rise over the forest. It's warm colours were beautiful but Stormshade ddint want to stop and admire them, she just wanted to go and sleep.

She waited until Squirrelflight and Sorreltail had carried Stripesky's lifeless figure out of camp then returned to the apprentice den. She didnt say anything as she collapsed into her nest and fell asleep.


Stormshade was desperate, she wanted to see Stripesky again. She had to go and see Starclan, she had to!

She didnt even dream though, she just slept until a loud cough woke her up. She opened her eyes to see Birchfall and Hazeltail laying down in two new nests.

She closed her eyes again. There were too many cats in here, Thunderclan was running out of warriors!

Stormshade found herself unable to get to sleep again so she pushed her aching muscles and sat up. Her head felt like agony and her fur was getting messy.

She twisted her head round and began to groom herself. When her grey fur was neat again she looked across at everyone else in the den. Blossomfall was starting to look better and so was Mistfall but everyone else didnt look any better, some even looked worse.

Her gaze wondered to Mudkit, the kit looked the same, which Stormshade supposed was a good sign but she wasnt sure. Mudkit let out a weak cough and Stormshade realised something important. Mudkit was small but brave, she would pull through this illness because she was a fighter, and so was Stormshade. They would both beat this white-cough for sure.

Plz review thx :) :P
