Chapter 29: the end

Flamestorms POV

The undergrowth around Thunderclan camp shuddered and then the rouges were upon us, there were so many more then before easily three times the number of cats in Thunderclan but we had Starclan on our side and we were sure we would win.

I batted rouges away with powerful swipes of my paws but I was searching for the light ginger pelt which haunted my dreams, there! Standing amongst the fighting cat stood Sandstorm.

Her pelt was dirty and matted and her eyes had a dazed, glassy look to them but I would recognize her anywhere. Fury turned the edges of my vision red as I launched myself at her all the grief of Emberclaws and Cinderhearts deaths flooding through me.

Sandstorm easily dodged my leap I spun and tried to pin her under my claws but she slid out of my reach and lashed at my face I hissed as I felt her claws slice into one of my ears, shaking my head I tried to clear the blood that flowed into my eyes.

Sandstorm barrelled into me and when my eyes cleared she stood on top of me her claws digging into my shoulders, the creature of my nightmares her claws glistening with my blood in that moment I thought I was going to join Cinderheart in Starclan.

My father, bleeding from a scratch down his side was suddenly there knocking his former mate off me with strength I didn't know he still possessed I stood and together we faced our tormentor.

Sandstorm was stunned by the force of Firestars blow I took the oppourtunity and jumped on her before I began to land blows on her I leaned down as she had often in my dreams and hissed in her ear.

" this is for Emberclaw! And Cinderheart and my kits and this is for Thunderclan! You are finally going to feel the pain you have caused our clan! The pain you have caused me!" I was almost snarling with fury when I was finished I took a deep breath.

I sliced into her pelt raking my claws along her exposed underbelly drawing blood I wasn't a killer but in my mind, in that moment, Sandstorm didn't deserve to live.

When I knew she could not possibly survive her wounds I stepped off her most of the rouges were gone the battle was over those warriors who weren't injured stood around us as Firestar walked over to watch Sandstorm die.

Firestars POV

Just before Flamestorm began to strike I felt the tiniest twinge of… regret? No matter how I had felt about Cinderpelt or what she had done I knew that a part of me would always love Sandstorm and to watch my mate be hurt and killed by my son was hard.

When the damage was done and all that was left was to wait I walked over not to watch her die but.. well if I was dying I would like to be looking at something other than the sky especially if it was the last time I would see it.

Her eyes had been dazed and glassy before now the leafy green mirrors were sad, so, so sad it was heartbreaking for me to look at,

"I was never good enough for you" the words were uttered so quietly I knew only I could hear them and I wished I couldn't.

" You were always good enough but you weren't the right cat for me even so, I always loved you Sandstorm" I whispered Sandstorms eyes grew wide and just before the life left them I thought I saw a glimmer of joy.

Authors Note: there will be two or three more aftermath chapters I hope you all liked her death I am 100% happy with it!.
