Finchsong's point of view
" What dead no no no she can't be dead" Finchsong meowed frantically her voice rising in a panic.
" Mom! mom" Bayblossom meowed rushing over to his mothers side practically shoving Flywhisker out of the way Myrtleflower joining him.
" Oh my Starclan mom!" Myrtleflower cried out. It was the first time Finchsong had gotten a good look a Sorrelstripe she was completely unrecognizable her once dark brown fur was dirty and messy mudded with blood and dirt Finchsong's paws were sticky from blood to Finchsong's horror the ground around her was covered in blood more blood then she had ever seen.
" Flamestorm what in the dark forest happened?" Bayblossom growled.
" She she she was fighting a kin cat" Flamestorm crooked out.
" Then then the wolf got to her there was nothing i could do" Flamestorm finished his sentence before breaking into the stream of tears.
" Uh my Starclan no Starclan no" Cinderheart gasped from the other side of camp bounding over to her daughters body crying into Lionblaze's shoulder.
" No no this can not be happening right now" Bayblossom meowed pacing back and forth frantically.
" Oh my Starclan oh my Starclan Sorrelstripe what did they do to you!" Sparkpelt rushed past Finchsong burying her muzzle into Sorrelstripe's pelt.
" No no Sorrelstripe i can't lose you to" Sparkpelt cried.
" What in Starclan's happening here" Dewnose padded over gray and white pelt covered in blood.
" Fernsong what's going on here?" Dewnose meowed.
" Sorrelstripe's dead!" Fernsong cried out huddled up against Ivypool.
" What dead?" Dewnose rushed past Fernsong and Ivypool over to Sorrelstripe.
" The wolf got her in his jaws there's nothing we could do" Snaptooth meowed saddle.
" Oh my Starclan not another one" Squirrleflight's disgorged voice rang out across the camp.
" Another one?" Finchsong meowed.
" Sorrelstripe wasn't the only one Stemleaf and Berrynose were also killed in the battle"
" Oh my Starclan that's absolutely horrible" Finchsong meowed.
" Cloudtail, Brackenfur get Sorrelstripe's body ready for vigil" Squirrleflight meowed.
" Let all cats old enough to catch there own prey gather around Highledge for a clan meeting" Bramblestar meowed from Highledge.
Finchsong padded across the camp Flamestorm by her side Finchsong could tell that her brother was still very upset about Sorrelstripe.
Looking around Thunderclan camp Finchsong saw how absolutely destroyed it was the entire camp wall was torn to shreds the dens had been completely torn to pieces by both The Kin and the wolf.
Everyone in Thunderclan swarmed around Highledge Finchsong sat beside Sparkpelt and Flamestorm. An intense air of intense pain and sadness hung over Thunderclan like a suffocating fog Poppyfrost and Cinderheart sat crying into each others side Stemleaf's siblings sat huddled together by themselves Thornclaw wrapped his tail comfortable around Blossomfall as she sat on the floor loudly weeping.
" Papa why is mama crying?" Aspenkit meowed he and Waspkit were huddled tightly against Stormcloud.
" Um well ummm" Stormcloud's eyes shifted uncomfortably
" She's just upset that's all"
" Why?" Waspkit asked
" Well her father Berrynose has to go to Starclan and that's making her upset"
Waspkit and Aspenkit walked over to Cherryfall pawing at her fur.
" Don't be sad mama you always said Starclan's a happy place" Aspenkit meowed.
" Ya you said that's why cats go there for a really long time" Waspkit added.
Cherryfall's broke into tears burying her head into Waspkit and Aspenkit's fur " Oh my Starclan what did i do to get kits as good as you" Cherryfall meowed. Watching the whole seen made Finchsong feel an intense sadness beside her Finchsong could see Bayblossom and Myrtleflower shifting turning there heads away in sadness Finchsong couldn't imagine what her friends were going through right now.
" Cats of Thunderclan" Bramblestar meowed saddle.
" Tonight we have lost three brave warriors of Thunderclan Berrynose, Sorrelstripe, and Stemleaf all gave there life's to uphold and protect the clan that they loved so dearly it fill's with me with a great overwhelming sadness that my friends and clanmates have joined Starclan's hunting grounds"
" Berrynose was my first apprentice he served Thunderclan as a loyal for many seasons he though along side us in the great battle and will be remembered as a loving mate by his mate Poppyfrost and his children Cherryfall and Molewhisker may his spirit find good hunting and a den to sleep under" Bramblestar paused briefly.
" Sorrelstripe was the daughter of my adopted son Lionblaze i considered her my granddaughter she served as a loyal warrior of Thunderclan and a mother to not only Bayblossom and Myrtleflower but as a foster mother to Finchsong and Flamestorm during my daughter Sparkpelt's darkest hour"
" Stemleaf died to young he was a loyal warrior and a very supportive mate to Spotfur"
" Now dose anybody want to say anything" Bramblestar meowed nobody said anything clearly still shocked by what just happened.
" Cats of Thunderclan pack up anything you own and head for the gathering island will be staying there for now" Bramblestar meowed.
A uproar of complaints erupted from the clan.
" We can't do that" Honeyfur meowed.
" My legs are sore i can't walk that far" Bumblestripe wined.
" Bramblestar dear is that really the best idea?" Squirrleflight meowed from beside Bramblestar.
" Squirrleflight look around this place is completely destroyed were out in the open and exposed to the elements and attack"
Bramblestar leaped off of Highledge heading towards the medicine den Squirrleflight, Jayfeather and Alderheart trailing him.
Finchsong sat in the clearing dumfounded mind moving a million miles a second but still she felt numb.
Flamestorm's point of view
" What have i done what have i done" the words kept running through Flamestorm's mind the scene of Sorrelstripe being torn apart by the wolf kept running on loop in his mind the knowing that he had been there to witness Sorrelstripe's death and had sat there frozen doing mousedung to help.
" What if it's my fault?" Flamestorm kept thinking he tried to justify himself the wolf was huge what was one cat going to do against a wolf he would have just put himself in risk Sorrelstripe wouldn't have wanted that.
" But what if it's my fault i should have done something anything not just sat there like a idiot" Flamestorm though out loud.
" Flamestorm Flamestorm" Finchsong interpreted Flamestorm's thinking.
" Flamestorm were going" Finchsong tilted her head to towards the camp entrance most of Thunderclan was already there.
As Flamestorm exited he looked over at the now destroyed nursery he though back to when he was a kit so when everything was so much simpler.
Flamestorm and Finchsong walked along side Sparkpelt through the Thunderclan forest as it finned out into the Windclan moor Flamestorm couldn't stop thinking about Sorrelstripe.
" It's okay Myrtleflower there's nothing we could have done against the wolf" Eaglewing wrapped her tail around her former apprentice.
" I should have done something" Flamestorm thought to himself as the island came into view from further down the lake.
" Oh my Starclan my legs hurt" Cloudtail moaned in pain.
" Don't worry dad were gonna be at the island soon" Whitewing meowed trying to comfort her father.
" You now if Firestar was leader this wouldn't have happened he would know what to do" Graystripe meowed to Brackenfur from beside him Thriftear's eyes pricked up in anger.
" Well guess what Firestar isn't are leader anymore we have to focus on surviving right now i don't even no why you would him up" Thriftear growled
" Well excuse me" Graystripe retorted.
" I was just saying this wouldn't have happened when Firestar was leader"
" Well thank you for rubbing it in my face that Firestar was better and everything was so much better when he was leader" Thriftear growled.
" Well old tom if you really love Firestar that much why don't you go be with him in Starclan then!" Thriftear spat before walking off.
Graystripe began crying Brackenfur did his best to comfort his friend Ivypool walked over to Thriftear and was scolding her.
" Thriftear that is so insensitive i can't believe that you would say something like that" Ivypool growled.
" Well I'm just trying to be real with him he's got to stop living in the past" Thriftear replied.
Flamestorm tuned out the rest of Ivypool and Thriftear's conversation looking forward at the island as the tree bridge came into view Flamestorm leapt over the tree bridge paws struggling from to get a grip as on the bridges frozen bark.
Flamestorm felt his paws slipping on the bark he tried to find a grip his paws hit the air and he felt the himself plummeting.
Flamestorm closed his eyes waiting for the inevitable of him slamming into the ice bellow but instead he felt himself dangling mid air and the force of someone pulling him up.
Flamestorm looked up to see Shellfur pulling him back up onto the log.
" Oh my Starclan Shellfur thank you" Flamestorm meowed timidly.
" Oh Flamestorm it's not a problem" Shellfur meowed.
" Next time just make sure that yo watch your footing a fall from this high could be dangerous"
" Yeah i know i was just distracted that's all"
" Yeah i could tell" Shell's eyes flashed with sympathy before he turned to join the rest of Thunderclan on the island.
Flamestorm could tell that Shellfur was in a deep pain he had just lost his brother Stemleaf he couldn't imagine what he would do if he lost Finchsong.
" Flamestorm what happened?" Finchsong rushed over to greet her brother.
" Oh you brother almost fell off the tree bridge thankfully i got to him first" Shellfur meowed.
" Flamestorm are you okay?" Finchsong nuzzled her brother before she started violently shivering.
" Trust me Finchsong I'm fine I'm more worried about you your shaking like a leaf"
" Oh I'm fine" Finchsong meowed weakly.
" Finchsong you got thrown clear out of camo by the wolf i saw that with my own two eyes"
" Flamestorm honestly I'm fine"
" No Finchsong your not fine your supposed to be resting in the medicine den you strained you size" Jayfeather meowed from across the the clearing.
" Got to go you know how Jayfeather gets when he's upset" Finchsong meowed padding over to the makeshift medicine den.
Flamestorm looked over to were Shellfur was standing the tortoiseshell and white tom was padding over to join Plumstone and Eaglewing.
" Shellfur!" Flamestorm meowed.
" Yeah Flamestorm"
" Thanks again for saving me"
" Your welcome"
Finchsong's point of view
Finchsong sat restlessly in the makeshift medicine den unable to sleep looking up at Silverpelt as it danced and began to fade in the night sky as dawn approached the pink hue that signified the return of day.
Next to her Molewhisker and Snaptooth were fast asleep Jayfeather had gone out to look for herbs on the island shore already well Alderheart was sorting through herbs near by.
Stretching out her leg's Finchsong shook the scarps of leaf and snow of her pelt she felt the stabbing pain in her abdomen she Jayfeather had given her broom last night to help her ease the pain but it had since worn off she was planning on asking Jayfeather for more after he got back.
" Oh hay Finchsong your up kind of early" Alderheart meowed.
" Couldn't sleep?"
" Yeah do you mind if i help you sort through herbs"
" No not at all" Finchsong sat down beside Alderheart and began to sort the pile of herbs.
" Hay Alderheart" the dark ginger tom turned his head to look Finchsong in the eye.
" Yeah"
" Do remember what Larksong was like" Finchsong always wanted to know about her father but she had never wanted to ask her mother about it she knew that it was a very touchy subject.
" Larksong yeah i remember him" Alderheart meowed.
" He was a very nice cat to be around Sparkpelt used to tell me how much she enjoyed being with him" Alderheart meowed.
" Is it true that he looked like Flamestorm?" Finchsong asked.
" Yes he did he looked almost exactly like Flamestorm" Finchsong had always guessed that Flamestorm got the fluffy pelt from there father because her and Sparkpelt certainly didn't.
Finchsong looked up at the night sky which by now had faded into a muted lavender most of the stars had already faded into the dawn only a few still hung in the night sky.
" I wonder if Larksong is still looking down on me" Finchsong though out loud.
Alderheart looked over to her amber eyes glowing.
" Don't worry he always will be"
