Silvermoon
A moon had passed since the badger attack and the loss of Leaftail.
Moonkit and Crowkit were asleep in the nursery. Silvermoon was outside staring at the stars. The stars looked like tiny fragments of ice in the night sky. The full moon was shining in camp making the snow sparkle. It was the night of the gathering, but Silvermoon couldn't leave her kits so she stayed. Silvermoon stifled a yawn and went into the nursery. She curled herself around her kits and fell asleep.
...
"Woodpelt is dead! "
Silvermoon recognized Heathertail's cry. The silver queen heard her kits outside and shot out of the nursery.
"What happened?"
"Our medicine cat is dead," Crowstar growled.
"His fur is cold!"
Silvermoon could hear her kits and pushed through the crowd of cats.
"What are you two doing out here?" Silvermoon asked.
Moonkit looked at his paws while Crowkit bounced around.
"I wanted to see if it was true that he was dead," she meowed.
" I wanted to be a medicine cat! Now what am I going to do? " Moonkit grumbled.
"Be a warrior with me! Duh!" Crowkit pounced on her brother.
"No way!" Moonkit protested.
"Why not?"
"Cause I would hafta put up with you!"
"Who found Woodpelt?" Smokeheart asked.
"Sleekflight's patrol," Heathertail sobbed.
"Who was on the patrol?"
" Sleekflight, Shadeclaw, Leafpool, and Crouchfoot. "
"Could it be a fox or a badger that killed him?" Crowstar asked.
Leafpool shook her head, " No, the wounds are too clean and too neat to be a fox or a badger. A cat murdered Woodpelt, most likely the same cat who killed Applewood. "
"Where was Woodpelt at?" Wolfwillow asked, drawing her kits towards her with her tail.
"At the lake," answered Shadeclaw.
Silvermoon shivered, " the same place where Applewood died! "
Darkpool nodded.
"Could it be a Windclan cat killing our own?" Leafstorm called out.
The clan glanced at each other and their voices rose in accusations.
"From now on apprentices must not leave camp without a warrior!" Crowstar's voice rose above everyone else's. "Kits must not leave camp! Any suspicious activity report to me or Heathertail!"
"We have no medicine cat!" Moonkit snarled.
Heathertail sobbed.
"Leafpool will be our medicine cat until Moonkit becomes a medicine cat!" Crowstar ordered.
Leafpool shook her head, "I can't! I gave up being a medicine cat when I joined in Windclan!"
Silvermoon still couldn't believe that her mother use to be a Thunderclan cat, much less a Thunderclan medicine cat!
"You like to help out in the nursery!" Smokeheart called out from where she was watching Ashkit playing with the other kits.
"It's different!" Leafpool protested.
"Could I become an apprentice early?" Moonkit squeaked.
Silvermoon shook her head, " No you have to be six moons old just like any other apprentice. "
"Leafpool please!" Wolfwillow begged.
"Fine, I will become the Windclan medicine cat until Moonkit becomes an apprentice or if another cat steps up," Leafpool sighed.
"Thank you," Crowstar dipped his head.
...
Five nights had passed since Leafpool became the medicine cat.I
A paw prodded Silvermoon awake. Silvermoon lifted her head to see Moonkit staring up at her.
"Yes Moon?" Silvermoon yawned.
" I think I know who killed Applewood and Woodpelt. "
"H...how?"
" A cat came to me last night, his pelt was the color of fire and he had green eyes. "
"You saw Firestar!" Silvermoon breathed.
"He told me that..."
Silvermoon held her tail up, interrupting her kit, "Wait Crowstar and Leafpool need to hear this."
Silvermoon walked our of the nursery with Moonkit following close behind. She stopped at the entrance of her parent's den.
"Crowstar?" She called softly.
"Yes?" Came the reply.
*It's Silvermoon and Moonkit! We need to talk to you! "
"Come on in."
Silvermoon and Moonkit entered the den, Crowstar and Leafpool were in their nest.
"What can we help you with?" Crowstar asked.
"I know who killed Applewood and Woodpelt," Moonkit meowed.
" How? "
"A cat named Firestar came and told me."
" Firestar! " Leafpool's eyes brimmed with grief.
"What did he say?" Crowstar's voice was sharp.
"He said: A cat in your clan who is kin has claws that are hidden by the shade of a tree ."
Silvermoon felt sick.
The answer couldn't be any more clearer. The cat out for revenge was no other than the father of her kits, her mate!
Shadeclaw!
