Fireclaw stalked through the territory, unsheathing his claws. He crouched down and got ready to pounce at the rabbit. Suddenly, he heard a screech and the rabbit hopped away. What in the name of StarClan? he asked himself silently as the fiery orange tom followed the screech.
When he got there, he gasped at the sight of Lightshine, his mate, dead. Fireclaw looked up at the murder. "Morningtail! Did you do this?"
Morningtail flicked her tail and nodded slightly. "B-But you two are best friends!", stammered the warrior.
The golden tabby shook her head. "Though we were the best of friends, I envied her."
"What? Why?"
"Because she had you as a mate..."
"Y-You love me?"
The she-cat turned around and flattened her ears. She nodded and said, "That's why I killed her."
"So you can have me as a mate? So you can be with me forever?", he snarled, lunging himself at her.
Morningtail's pelt bristled and she quickly dodged and dashed to the off-territory. "That's right! Run! Run and don't come back!", Fireclaw snarled.
He looked down at Lightshine's body. He picked the body up and started to drag it ti camp, tears forming in his eyes. Why...?
