Chapter 13
Snowfall and Dewleaf watched as Flightwing burst through the thorn barrier, followed by Ambermoon and... Crowfrost? But Crowfrost was a ShadowClan warrior!
"What in the name of StarClan is going on here?" Bramblestar demanded to the three cats.
"I saw Ambermoon and Crowfrost mating!" Flightwing panted.
"WHAT!?" Ambermoon hissed, outraged.
"We weren't! We're just friends!" Crowfrost protested.
"Just friends, eh?" Lionblaze queried as he padded toward them, his golden pelt turned a slight gray color by the soft moonlight.
"Let me guess, you're thinking about Heathertail." Flightwing scoffed.
"Yes." Lionblaze mewed.
"Flightwing killed Hazeltail!" Ambermoon spat.
Flightwing's amber eyes glinted with fury, her golden-brown fur bristling.
"I hate you!" Flightwing hissed, leaping at Ambermoon, her claws outstretched and bathed in the silver moonlight.
Ambermoon swerved to the side, barely avoiding Flightwing's wrath.
Sleetpaw and Icepaw, now apprentices, walked out into the clearing, where they gaped at Flightwing, who was too busy trying to kill Ambermoon to notice them.
Ambermoon screeched with pain as Flightwing raked her claws across her flank.
"Enough!" Bramblestar screeched, his brown pelt a blur as he raced to stand in between the fighting she-cats.
"Flightwing, if you kill some one one more time, I'm exiling you!" He threatened.
He lunged at Flightwing, obviously not thinking.
But Flightwing stood still and calm, till the last moment where she swerved aside, clamping her blood-stained jaws on her leader's neck.
Bramblestar fell to the ground, having spasm after spasm until, he finally lay still. Blood trickled from the gash in his neck all the way down to his tail, staining his mud-brown fur. Bramblestar did not move after that. He just lay there, still.
Snowfall's head spun with the the terrible realization that Bramblestar was dead.
