Chapter 10, Sitting vigil.

"Mangled! He was mangled!" Fireheart was almost on the verge of tears. He just lost his best friend, and Shadesong was very upset herself. She had just became good friends wtih him, plus he saved her from Blackfoot's claws.

"Dont worry Fireheart, I'll make sure Blackfoot's killed myself!" She spat in furry, angry and upset all at the same time.

"How do you know Blackfoot killed him?" Sandstorm asked padding up to comfort her best friend and recent mate.

"Because theres white fur between his claws...Blackfoot is the only rouge that has white fur..." Fireheart mewed pressing aganst Sandstorm.

Bluestar came padding up behind them. "Shadesong, will you take Tigerclaw's body and throw it over the gorge? He doesn't devserve to be buried. When you get back, you, Fireheart, Brackenfur and Sandstorm can sit vigil with Greystripe's body tonight, then bury him at sunrise.

"Yes Bluestar." Shadesong dipped her head to Bluestar and drug Tigerclaw's body out of the camp. She stopped for a moment adn turned when she heard her named being called.

"Shadesong, can i go with you?" Timberpaw asked her. Shadesong thought for a moment and decided to let her come, it would be could trainning for her apprentice anyway.

"Alright, but stay close." She mewed

"Okay! thanks Shadesong!" Timberpaw mewed happily.


When they got to the gorge near Riverclan border, they tossed Tigerclaw's body over it and watched ad his lifeless body was carried away by the currents. "Shadesong. Why did Bluestar tell you to throw the old deputy's body over the gorge?" Timberpaw asked curiously.

"Because he was evil and had killed many other cats in his younger days. He planned to kill Bluestar during the rouge attack to take over Thunderclan. I wasn't about to let that happen!" Shadesong half hissed half explained.

"I see. I think Bluestar should have made you deputy! Your a very loyal and protective leader, plus that Whitestorm is just going to retire soon anyway. Not that i mean that in a bad way though." Timberpaw purred. Shadesong was tooken aback by her prasie. She had never been called a good leader like that before.

"Nah. I dont think so." Shadesong replied.

"Why not?" Timberpaw asked

"Because i have a mate, and we might end up with kits of our own. And she-cat's can't be a queen in the nursery and be deputy at the same time!" Shadesong purred in amusement. She remembered what it was like being an apprentice and asking a whole bunch of questions, just being a curious kit.

"Oh, i see. Who is your mate?" Timberpaw asked

"Brackenfur." Shadesong purred from saying her mates name. Timberpaw pandered for a moment.

"you two would have cute kits." Timberpaw purred. Shadesong smiled at her, that's the first time she's heard that since her and Brackenfur became mates.

"Well, lets get back to camp." Shadesong mewed.


Shadesong, Fireheart, Sandstrom, and Brackenfur beside Greystripe's body to sit vigil and sharetounges with him one last time. All four sat in silence, Fireheart and Sandstorm's tails intwined, and Shadesong and Brackenfur's intwined.

The night passed by what seemed like forever. Greystripe's death had effected every cat in the clan. And how was Greystripe's mate Silverstream going to take this news? The only ones who knew about Greystripe's Riverclan mate was Fireheart and Shadesong. But to hear your mate died. That must be a painful expreince.

By the time sunrise came Shadesong and Fireheart buried Greystripe. And they went to sleep for the day to gain back there strength. Shadesong was curled up in a ball next to Brackenfur, and the four quickly fell asleep.
