Chapter 10

(A/N: Wow, sorry about the last chapter. The last part of it wasnt supposed to be in bold. Idk how it got like that . Well heres the next chapter. Get ready to cry)

Cinderpelt POV:

I was padding out to the border of Thunderclan territory thats right next to the edge of Riverclan territory. I started picking the watermint.

"Thunderclan!" I heard a cat hiss.

I whirled around and got barreled into.

I fell into the river. And the current was strong, because it rained last night.

Now I see what Yellowfang meant.

I wailed for help and started trying to swim, but the current was too strong. And my bad leg made it even harder.

No no no NO!!!

I tried to grab onto something, anything.

I heard Riverclan cats frantically trying to figure out a plan. But I think it was too late. I was already halfway down the river. I splashed and kicked and wailed. Nothing worked.

So I figured my death was punishment for falling in love and having Stonepaw and Bluepaw.

So I gave up.

Goodbye Bluepaw, Stonepaw...my children. And goodbye Leafpool. I love you like you were my own.

See you soon Yellowfang.

As soon as I thought that, I could have sworn I saw a gray cat on the bank with stars in her fur, staring down at me.

Mistyfoot POV:

"Are you insane?" I snarled at the apprentice.

This was a new apprentice, Waterpaw, Dawnflower's son.

"That's a medicine cat! That's Cinderpelt, Thunderclan's medicine cat! She wasn't even on our territory! Come on we have to save her!"

"...I'm so sorry!" he wailed.

Leaopardstar ran up. "Mothwing told me Cinderpelt fell in the river!"

"She did! Oh Leopardstar please, we have to save her!"

Leopardstar looked at the river, and then hung her head. Then she looked up at me. "Mistyfoot, look at the river. She's gone."
"Oh no, poor Firestar and her clan, what will they think about us now!" I wailed.

Waterpaw was wailing too. "I'm so sorry I didn't know, I mixed up the borders! I thought she was hunting on our territory!"

Leaopardstar looked at me. "Come on. We have to go tell Thunderclan."

I dreaded the whole visit.

Leafpool POV:

I do have to admit, it was easier without Cinderpelt here. Stonepaw was a great apprentice. Eager t learn, obeyed orders. I can't wait to keep working with him. Cinderpelt too. I smiled to myself while sorting the herbs.

Firestar walked in with three other cats. I sniffed. Was that Riverclan scent?

"Hello Firestar...Mistyfoot! And Leaopardstar, and...I'm sorry I can't recall your name."

"I'm Waterpaw." said the small gray tom whispered.

"Hi Leafpool." Mistyfoot whispered.

Firestar had tears in his eyes. Leopardstar looked grave.

"What's going on?" I asked. My voice was close to panicked.

"Leafpool...Cinderpelt..."
"What's wrong with her?" I asked automatically. "Where is she?"
"...she died." whispered Firestar.

Wh...what?

Cinderpelt can't be dead! Sh...she can...can't be dead! No no no no NO

Squirrelflight ran in when she felt my distress. "Whats wrong Leafpool?"
"Cin...Cinder..."

I ran out of the den unable to take it.

~~~~
A few minutes later I heard paw steps behind me.

I was sitting in a patch of grass that was near the burdock root. Me and Cinderpelt used to pick the burdock root, and then sit in this patch of grass and talk for a little bit.

But we can't do that anymore can we.

"Leafpool?"
It was Mistyfoot.

I didn't answer. I couldn't.

"I'm...so sorry Leafpool. I...Waterpaw accidently pushed her into the river. And the current was so strong from the rain...I...it was too late."
I sat there and cried.

Mistyfoot tried to comfort my wailing. "Come on, Firestar wants to sit vigil."

"Ok." I whispered. I let Mistyfoot lead me back to the camp.

Although it didn;t matter now did it.

Cinderpelt.
