Chapter 10: We all make mistakes
Leafpool quickly got to her feet and saw Sorreltail staring at Molekit. Leafpool quickly checked on him.
Sorreltail was right, he wasn't breathing.
"No!" Leafpool screamed. She shoved her nose into Molekit's fur. It was all her fault. 2 cats dying in 2 days. She was a terrible Medicinecat.
"I'm so sorry Sorreltail! It's my entire fault, I fell asleep, and I should have stayed awake to watch him! I am a terrible Medicinecat!" Leafpool cried.
Sorreltail gave Leafpool a glance of sympathy.
"We both know that's not true Leafpool, You need to sleep, it isn't your fault. " Sorreltail meowed gently.
"No it is true; I have lost 2 cats in the past week! They both died because-"Leafpool meowed, but cut herself before she said her secret. She couldn't tell anybody but Squirrelflight.
"Because what?" Sorreltail asked.
"Because I have been so worthless and can't remember anything since Cinderpelt died. I gave Molekit the wrong herb when he had whitecough, then he got greencough and the stupid catmint didn't work! If anything is to blame it's me, it's my fault Cinderpelt died!" Leafpool blurted out, it was partly the truth.
"She died saving me; we both know it was a way she wanted to die. You should be proud of her. And yes, I am kind of mad that Molekit is dead, but we all make mistakes. We have to learn from them, and move on. Besides it's not your fault the catmint didn't work on Molekit." Sorreltail meowed soothingly, glancing with sympathy at her best friend.
Leafpool nodded warily, still full of grief.
"We better tell the clan…" Sorreltail meowed.
"They will hate me." Leafpool meowed.
"No they won't, they know you try your best." Sorreltail meowed. Leafpool and Sorreltail headed up to Firestar's den.
"Leafpool, Sorreltail? What can I do for you?" Firestar asked. Sandstorm looked at them, and could see the sadness on their faces.
"Molekit is dead." Leafpool announced.
Firestar looked at them in sympathy.
"I know you tried your best Leafpool." He said, getting up.
He headed for highledge.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather for a clan meeting!" He yowled. Sorreltail headed for the nursery and gathered her kits.
Cats began to merge, filling the clearing.
"With sadness, I must announce that Molekit is dead." Firestar announced. The clearing was filled with wails of grief. Sorreltail's kits were gazing around, eyes clouded with grief. Brackenfur rushed over to his mate to support her.
"We have lost 2 cats this moon, but we must remain strong. Brambleclaw, send out the patrols as usual, we can't let the other clans think this makes us weak." Firestar ordered, ending the meeting. Brambleclaw nodded and started calling out cats for a patrol.
Leafpool heard someone call her name. She saw Squirrelflight trotting toward her.
"Wanna go on a walk?" Squirrelflight asked.
"Sure, I need to get away from camp, I can't take all this." Leafpool replied, not knowing one of her biggest challenges was only minutes away.
Author's note: Sorry for the cliffhanger. Anyone Wanna guess what the challenge is? Just review what you think it is or private message me! Anyway I am done with the deaths, finally. Again, Erin Hunter decided for that to happen, not me. Hope you like my story so far! Won't continue till I get a review on this chapter or 2.
Have a nice day!
