A/N: I am so bored of writing Author Notes right now. But anyway here is Spottedleaf, Tigerstar's aunt! Isn't it weird how she's so much younger than Tigerstar, but still somehow his aunt? Swiftbreeze was an ancient form of Ferncloud and Daisy! Hmm...Perhaps reincarnation plays a part in all this?

SPIRIT 7: SPOTTEDLEAF
In the distant shadows, amber eyes opened to look through the bleak woods. Tigerstar could still feel the pain of the boulder, and looked down at the paws before him.
They were small, barely half the size of his own paws. And they were dappled with all sorts of colors, he was a tortoiseshell. And only one tortoiseshell had eyes as bright as Tigerstar's, Spottedleaf.
A yowl broke out through the ThunderClan hollow, and Spottedleaf turned to listen. It was Frostfur searching for her lost kits, and she could just faintly see the outline of Blackfoot taking them into the woods.
"I have to save them" she had whispered, as a slight pain pierced her throat.
At first both Spottedleaf and Tigerstar had no idea what happened, but then blood began to pour from Spottedleaf's throat, as someone pounded her to the ground. Clawface padded out from the shadows, following the orders Tigerstar and Blackfoot had given him.
As he passed to escape back to ShadowClan, Spottedleaf clawed at his flank, tearing some of his fur in her claws. The tortoiseshell Medicine Cat lay there as a pool of blood formed onto the earthy ground, and her amber eyes glazed over.
But instead of everything going black like every other cat, Tigerstar was still very much alive in Spottedleaf's body.
"You're the reason I died so young" the Medicine Cat's voice wreathed through the darkness. "Did the fact that we were kin not mean anything to you? I was your Mother's sibling, we were in separate litters."
Tigerstar's eyes widened, he never really thought of Spottedleaf as his kin, although he did know Leopardfoot and Spottedleaf were sisters.
"You killed your own mothers sister" her voice held the same soft tone as Leopardfoot's had, "And your going to have to think about that for eternity as you walk through the Dark Forest."
Her voice faded away as the Tigerclaw of the past identified her body, and Firepaw and Graypaw stood above her body.
Tigerstar had killed his own aunt, how many other blood relatives had he killed?
