Hi Everyone! OMG I'm so excited! This story got 19 new views since I posted the last chapter! Ok, so that was a pretty big cliffhanger lol. Here's the chapter! Enjoy :D!
Streamclan was attacked and demolished. Every den lay in tatters as the patrol slowly walked around, surveying the camp. Moonstripe cried out in terror. Mistyheart and Wingorge layed in the middle of camp, throats torn out, "Who could've done this?" Moonstripe meowed, tears welling in her eyes.
"Silvermask" A cat came limping over. It was Willowrun, "Silvermask attacked our camp while you were gone she killed five of us. She did it quickly and cleanly. First, she attacked Cranewing and Stoneclaw, who were guarding her. She killed the two closer cats next, Windgorge and Mistyheart. And finally, she killed Dapplepaw. She injured many of us. The weird thing is that… there were other warriors with her. Warriors who didn't look alive… a few of them were transparent. We tried to fight back, but we couldn't save our clanmates. They left, but not without destroying our camp." Willowrun sat down in defeat. "The only live cat I've seen was Rainstar. I think everyone else ran in the midst of battle." Willowrun passed out. Moonstripe started running around camp, trying to find more cats. She saw Pinefeather in the medicine den, laying down. "Pinefeather?" Moonstripe asked, warily, "Please be alive…" Moonstripe looked at her throat. It was torn out. Moonstripe's eyes blurred with grief. She padded toward the middle of camp. Leopardspot walked out of the demolished warriors den, her eyes full of sadness. Moonstripe saw three more bodies in there. The only den that wasn't demolished was the leader's den. Moonstripe walked in there, expecting to see more dead bodies. Instead she saw Rainstar, Rainbowpaw, and the rest of the clan, which was few, huddled in there. The waterfall sheltering it hid them well. The leader's den had also been built with an ivy and moss curtain that could be pulled down in emergencies. Thank Starclan there are still more cats alive! Moonstripe thought, a wave of relief washing over her. "It's safe to come out now" She gave a slight smile. They all padded around the ivy curtain and walked through the waterfall. Songbird, Leopardspot, Blazesplash, and Birchfur looked up, relief showing in their eyes. When the cats hiding under the waterfall walked out, their eyes widened with horror.
"How… Why...Why would Silvermask do this…" Rainstar cried. "What are we going to do?"
"May I suggest starting with our lost clanmates?" Otterleaf suggested, tears welling in her eyes.
"Y...Yes. Riverclaw, Songbird, and Moonstripe. Start bringing bodies to the middle of camp. Blazesplash, search the territory for anyone else who may have run or been killed. Otterleaf, address the wounded cats. Anyone else able to help, start rebuilding. Start with the entrance." Rainstar instructed. Every cat started working. At dusk, every lost cat was brought to the middle of camp. Blazesplash found two more dead clanmates and three clanmates who were alive. Otterleaf treated all the wounds and groomed the bodies, with help from Willowrun, who was still a little shaky, but insisted on helping any way she could. Around Dusk, cats started sitting around the bodies for vigil. A total of eleven cats had died. Pinefeather, Mistyheart, Windgorge, Salmonpelt, Beechleaf, Oakfang, Dapplepaw, Mistpaw, Stoneclaw, Lilacpetal, and Silverthorn. The remainder of the clan gathered around their dead family members and kept vigil. Moonstripe and Songbird sat close together right next to where Windgorge, Mistyheart, and Pinefeather were. Riverclaw sat next to Moonstripe, creating warmth throughout her body, but nothing could make Moonstripe happier after this tragedy.
Rainstar called an end to the vigil the next morning. "May Starclan light your paths, our lost clanmates. May you find good hunting, swift running, and shelter when you sleep." Otterleaf sighed sadly.
"Though we have lost many, Streamclan will live on and thrive. We have had hard times, though none compared to this, yet we will still prosper. We will defeat the enemy." Rainstar meowed. Moonstripe could only hope she was correct.
