By the way, thanks for all the reviews!
DaisystarofDaisyClan: Fear drove Dovewing crazy, sorry if some characters seem heartless and unlike how they are in the book.
Wildchild13: Thank you! :) :)
By the way, I'm keeping Stoatpaw as a ginger tom instead of changing him to a tortoiseshell she-cat.
Ivypool's POV
Ivypool sunk her claws into the ground, trying to get the blood off. Her leg was again, hurt, but would heal quickly because it was only a cut. She washed her pelt in the stream, and then went back to Dovewing, who treated her wound.
"Let's sleep in the burrows that Ashfoot and Crowfeather made." Ivypool suggested.
Dovewing shook her head. "You need to sleep out in the open, or that leg will get infected by the wormy soil." Dovewing meowed. Ivypool didn't reply, just filled in the holes behind the holly bush.
"I'll get some moss." Dovewing meowed, running off. Ivypool found herself sleeping on the floor, out of tiredness. It must have been only a few moments before Ivypool woke up to a shriek.
"Dovewing of ThunderClan is dead! Killed by Crowfeather!" Mapleshade meowed.
Ivypool felt a thick grief for her sister. I'm a Dark forest warrior, I don't care about Dovewing. Ivypool meowed to herself. But she had to go and avenge her sister's death.
Ivypool looked down at where Crowfeather sat, licking his wounds. She hared down, making her pawsteps light as if she was stalking a mouse. The gray tom didn't even hear her.
She killed the black tom in a single swipe, he was weak. "Crowfeather of WindClan is dead, killed by Ivypool!" Mapleshade meowed, picking up the smoky gray tom's body up. Ivypool felt the power surge up in her veins. I can do this. She thought.
Tigerheart's POV
"Dovewing's dead. Also Crowfeather." Tawnypelt reported. Dovewing..
"Who killed them?" Tigerheart meowed, making sure to not say 'her' instead of 'them'.
"Crowfeather killed Dovewing, and Crowfeather was killed by Ivypool afterwards. Normally, Tigerheart would try to find Dovewing's killer, but he was already dead. He collapsed in grief, and slept.
In Tigerheart's Dream
Dovewing was right in front of him.
"Dovewing!" he meowed, overjoyed. Remember Snowbird.. she's watching the games. He reminded himself. But she's not watching your dreams. The other voice muttered.
"So, are you in StarClan?" Tigerheart asked casually. Dovewing nodded. A beautiful spotted tortoiseshell padded up behind her.
"I know, you're just learning, but it's time for him to go, Dovewing." the tortoiseshell meowed. Dovewing dipped her head.
"Bye, Tigerheart." Dovewing meowed, before following the tortoiseshell. "By the way, what's the tortoiseshell's name?" Tigerheart meowed. "Spottedleaf." Dovewing whispered.
In the real world
Spottedleaf. The name played in his head endlessly. Did he like her? No. He only loved Dovewing, and Snowbird slightly. But something about her..
Tawnypelt! That was it! She looked like Tawnypelt! Or more so, Tawnypelt looked like her. Maybe they're related.
His head snapped up, and remembered that Dovewing was dead now. His head fell in grief, and padded out to Tawnypelt.
"Hi, Tawnypelt." he meowed. Tawnypelt dipped her head in greeting.
"Do you know a cat- Did you know a cat named Spottedleaf?" he meowed. Tawnypelt looked shocked, eyes wide.
"Well, you know my father Tigerstar? His mother was Lepoardfoot, and Lepoardfoot's parents were Adderfang and Swiftbreeze. In a later litter, Swiftbreeze gave birth to Redtail, Spottedleaf, and Willowpelt. So we're related." Tawnypelt meowed.
"Of course, I don't expect you to know who Redtail, Willowpelt, Lepoardfoot, Adderfang, and Swiftbreeze are. They came long before you." Tawnypelt meowed. Tigerheart remembered in his dream, when Spottedleaf had brought Dovewing away. Maybe he needed to be in.. or with ThunderClan to get Dovewing.
"I'm sorry, Tawnypelt, but I'm leaving this alliance." Tigerheart meowed.
"I'll come with you." Tawnypelt meowed. "No." Tigerheart replied.
"Is it because of Crowfrost and Dawnpelt?" Tawnypelt meowed, prying. Partly, but mostly because I want to find Ivypool.
"Yes.." Tigerheart meowed.
"Let's kill Crowfrost." Tawnypelt meowed, looking determined and angry. Tawnypelt had always hated Crowfrost, always had a personal grudge against him.
"Dawnpelt. Can you go hunting?" Tawnypelt asked. Dawnpelt nodded, running off.
"Why are you mad at Dawnpelt?" Tawnypelt asked.
"She always takes the side of that annoying Crowfrost!" he hissed.
"Mapleshade." Tawnypelt hissed. The ghostly she-cat flew down.
"Do me a favor." Tawnypelt meowed, but was cut off.
"I don't do favors. Any prey?" Mapleshade asked. Tigerheart ran off, and quickly caught 2 mice. "Here." he meowed, shoving them toward Mapleshade.
"More." she ordered. Tawnypelt went off, and so did Tigerheart, finding a sparrow, a squirrel, and a water vole, which was sure to satisfy Mapleshade. Tawnypelt was already back, with a mouse and a thrush. They pushed their catches over to her.
"What is your request?" Mapleshade meowed.
"Broadcast that Dawnpelt killed Crowfrost, after Tigerheart and I kill him." Tigerheart meowed, butting ahead of Tawnypelt.
"No-" Tawnypelt meowed.
But Mapleshade was already gone. Tawnypelt glared at him, unspoken anger. But Crowfrost was standing in front of them, furious. Tawnypelt swatted the young warrior aside, angering him even more.
Tigerheart jumped, tearing a claw along Crowfrost's stomach. Tawnypelt closed her teeth in his throat, a quick death.
"Crowfrost of ShadowClan is dead, killed by Dawnpelt!" Mapleshade yowled.
Dawnpelt came a moment later, grief stricken and out of breath. In time to see her mate's body flying away with the ghostly figure of Mapleshade.
"What did you do to him!" Dawnpelt demanded.
"Nothing, I don't know! You killed him! Your own mate!" Tigerheart hissed, angering her.
"Great StarClan! Stop lying!" Dawnpelt hissed, enraged.
"StarClan.. No! Don't take-" Tawnypelt broke off, as Mapleshade flew down.
"StarClan is no more! You and Dawnpelt will die, suffering under our claws. Never mention StarClan. Never. You will tortured by us.. Darkstripe! Brokenstar!" Mapleshade snarled. Darkstripe carried Dawnpelt, and Brokenstar carried his Tawnypelt.. Tigerheart was shocked.
"Perfect, Tigerheart. Very smart.." Mapleshade meowed. He didn't care for his sister, she'd used him. But his mother.. Well, no use wasting time. Find Ivypool. He remembered that Dovewing had been killed on WindClan grounds.
So Ivypool should be there, because she killed Crowfeather right after Dovewing was killed, Crowfeather couldn't have gone too far. So he went toward the WindClan border, all that was left of ShadowClan was him and Stoatpaw. About the apprentice.. where was he? Was he dead? Tigerheart hadn't seen him since the start of the games.
Tigerheart thought for a few seconds about what had happened. All the WindClan tributes were dead, only Ivypool was left in ThunderClan, the Pebblefoot cat from WindClan, and him and Stoatpaw. Only four cats left.
Remaining Tributes:
ThunderClan: Ivypool
RiverClan: Pebblefoot
ShadowClan: Tigerheart, Stoatpaw
WindClan: None
I hope you guys enjoyed this! And by the way, I've changed my name from Waterwing to Waterfall :)
