Chapter 10

Lilacpaw let out a sigh, staring at Redwood's mauled body.

Lightningpaw padded closer to Redwood, kneeling down and closing his eyes. Another cat padded next to Lightningpaw, doing the same.

The other cat was a slender and white female. The white cat closed her eyes as Dustsky began to rub Redwood's body with mint. The smell of mint sweeped through the air, almost making Lilacpaw cry harder, as the mint made her eyes sting.

Dustsky finished, nodding to the nearby Shadefall. Shadefall also nodded, slipping away to go find Dovestar.

The apprentices padded over to Redwood, sitting and then looking at the ground, their eyes closing.

Lilacpaw looked up, seeing Dawncloud pad out of the nursery, hard in tears. Frostleaf, her sister, by her side.

She looked back at Redwood, 'Who's going to mentor me now?' she thought to herself, flicking her fluffy tail over her paws.

The group of cats looked up at Dovestar, who was sitting up on the high rock.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting!"

Cats looked up at their leader, their eyes fixed on him.

"Frostleaf, you have recently lost a apprentice. I believe you can help train Lilacpaw instead."

Were those the right words? Lilacpaw tilted her head, "Lilacpaw, Frostleaf, Lilacpaw!" She heard small yowls across camp, which quickly faded.

"We have lost a great warrior today. I hope Starclan will treat him well. Meeting dismissed." Dovestar meowed, leaping off the highrock and quickly padding to the fresh kill pile.

Lilacpaw looked back over at Lightningpaw and the mysterious white cat. She padded over to them, "Lightningpaw, would you like to go hunting? Maybe to help make you feel better?" she mewed.

The white cat looked up and scowled, "What if he wants to stay here, Huh?!" Lightningpaw let out a low growl, "Hush, Cloudpaw." he stopped growling and looked up at Lilacpaw, "That's okay, I would like to go hunting." he meowed.

Lilacpaw smiled, flicking her tail to the entrance. They began to pad out of camp, until Shadefall stepped in their way, "Where exactly do you think you're going?" he growled.

Lilacpaw and Lightningpaw took a few steps back and looked up at Shadefall.

"Dovestar wants to see you, Lilacpaw." he meowed, glaring right at the black long furred cat.

Lilacpaw nodded, "Alright... Shadefall..." she meowed. Shadefall walked over to the high rock, and quickly flicked his tail upwards.

Lilacpaw began to climb up the high rock with ease, scratching her way up.

Shadefall hooked his claws into the rocks, launching himself upwards, past Lilacpaw.

Once they had both reached the top, Shadefall hissed at Lilacpaw, "Stay still, and shut up unless talked to." he hissed. Lilacpaw shivered, feeling Shadefall's hot breath.

They entered Dovestar's den.

"We're here."

"You brought the apprentice?"

"Yes."

Lilacpaw and Shadefall padded forward, sitting down and looking into the shadows.
Dovestar quickly padded out of the shadows, sitting in front of the two cats.

Dovestar flinched and looked down at Lilacpaw, making the poor she-cat shiver.

"Do you know how much trouble you have been causing?"
