Leafstorm

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath tall rock! " Crowstar's voice rang out in camp.

"What does our noble leader possibly want this early?" Breezepelt asked.

The black tom had recovered from green-cough and was back to his normal self. Sleekflight purred in amusement before slipping out of his nest. Leafstorm stretched and padded to tall rock.

"I'll race you to tall rock!" Rainkit challenged his sisters.

"No fair!" You had a head start! " Fernkit growled.

Dawnkit was pushing past Fernkit trying to catch up to Rainkit.

Leafstorm purred before turning to Crowstar who was waiting for the rest of the clan to gather. He was surprised to see Silvermoon there with her two kits wrapped proactively with her silver tail. The silver queen's eyes were a mixture of emotions.

Grief?

Regret?

Anger?

Leafstorm couldn't tell.

"We found out who killed Applewood and Woodpelt!" Crowstar began.

"How?"

" Who? "

"Was it another clan?"

Questions bubbled up.

"Moonkit was visited by Starclan and then they told him."

" Moonkit? " Rabbitfoot -an elder- asked in disbelief.

"Moonkit tell the clan what Firestar told you," Leafpool prompted.

"H...He told me a Windclan warrior who is kin has claws that are hidden by the shade of a tree is targeting Nightcloud's kin," Moonkit growled softly.

"Why didn't you tell me that you can speak to Starclan?" Crowkit demanded.

"Hush my dear," Silvermoon drew her daughter back with her tail. "Now is not the time."

"That doesn't tell us anything!" Thornpaw pipped up from his spot beside Sparkstream.

Leafstorm started nodding slowly, "It tells enough. It says Has claws hidden by the shade of a tree."

" S...Shadeclaw...? " Heathertail asked.

The great warrior was silent but now he spoke, "Yes it's true, I'm sorry."

"How could you?" Silvermoon shrieked.

Shadeclaw turned to his mate -well former mate -, "Nightcloud killed our kit."

"I lost Whisperkit too and you don't see ME going crazy and attacking cats!" Silvermoon shot back.

"She also killed my mother and Hopkit!" I've lost so much! "

"You think you lost a lot?" Crowstar's growl was so deep it was almost a whisper, "I've lost way more than you! I lost my father, mother, my first mate, Hollyleaf who was my daughter I never got to know and now my daughter's kit!

Leafstorm looked at his father in disbelief, had he really lost so much?

" Y...you broke the warrior code, " Crowkit whispered back under her mother's belly.

Shadeclaw started towards his kits, "I'm so sorry my little warrior."

Leafstorm raced up to sister placing himself in front of her, the kits, and Shadeclaw, barley noticing Darkpool, Sleekflight, and Breezepelt joining him.

"I remember the day when Whisperkit died. Nightcloud said that a cat didn't keep the end of his deal..." Silvermoon meowed quietly, "What did she mean?"

"When I was hunting alone by the lake a few moons ago before she killed Whisperkit, Nightcloud appeared and told me that wanted to destroy everything Crowstar loves, meaning killing all of his kits and Leafpool."

"Why didn't you attack her?" Sleekflight growled.

"I...I did! But then I slipped on the rocks and Nightcloud held me down. She said that she would spare everyone if I got rid of Crowstar. She gave me four moons then vanished."

"Why didn't you tell any cat? " Leafstorm asked, still positioned in front of his sister, nephew, and niece.

"Because I didn't think that she was serious ."

"Well thanks to your thinking two of MY kits are dead! We don't have a medicine cat, and the whole clan paid the price because you thought she wasn't serious!" Breezepelt sneered.

Shadeclaw dipped his head, " I couldn't kill Crowstar so I didn't do anything. Then Silver you had our kits so Nightcloud found the perfect revenge, " he summed up his story.

"Some cat get him out of here!" Leafstorm flexed his claws into the snow.

Crowstar slowly padded up to the traitor, his blue eyes colder than ice filled with more hatred that Tigerstar.

"I trusted you! I thought you were the perfect mate for Silver and a great warrior, but I guess I was wrong!" Crowstar flicked a claw, and before Leafstorm knew what was happening, Shadeclaw was on the snow dieing.

"I'm...I'm so sorry," Shadeclaw whispered.

The tabby's eyes trailed to his mate then rested on his kits. Shadeclaw's body shuddered then he died.

I know kinda dark...

Well tell me what you think!

Did you suspect Shadeclaw at all?

And I promise that I will update tomorrow. I would of updated soon but school started and it's been crazy ever since!

And thank you all of my reviews! I really appreciate the support!

(Oh and btw you guys are going to hate me for the next chapter...)

Here is your riddle!

I loved her

I wanted her to be my mate

But she choose someone else

She had three kits who turned out not be even her's

Her niece struck me by the river

I fell and died

Never forgiving the she-cat I once loved

(who is it? I'll give you a hint cause this is kinda hard, the cat lives in Thunderclan)

Well until tomorrow!
