Chapter 9
...
"Sorry, Mousefur, but I won't be giving you extra fresh-kill anymore." Leafpool mewed.
"What?" Mousefur hissed.
"Sorry, but it'll look suspicious when you have kits but you're still plump."
Mousefur growled and stalked back to the elders' den.
"She's sure upset," Squirrelflight commented.
"Yes," Leafpool sighed. "Sometimes I wonder if this is really worth it,"
She was interrupted by a few cats coming back, and gasps from clanmates.
Leafpool turned. Lionblaze and Graystripe had come back. Lionblaze had Hollyleaf over his shoulders, and Graystripe had Poppyfrost.
No. Hollyleaf can't be dead. She can't be.
Leafpool ran to meet them. Poppyfrost had a deep gash in her chest, and Hollyleaf's throat was scratched.
"ShadowClan," Graystripe muttered.
Leafpool checked The two young warriors. Poppyfrost was dead. Leafpool was afraid to check Hollyleaf.
"Leafpool, check her," Jayfeather whispered, worried.
Leafpool pressed her head against Hollyleaf's chest. Her own heart was pounding, preventing her from being able to find Hollyleaf's heartbeat.
Once it slowed down she could hear it. It was very weak.
Leafpool sat up. "She has a chance. Quick, Jayfeather, get her to my den!"
Jayfeather grabbed his sister's scruff and carried her to the medicine den.
Leafpool snatched cobwebs out of the corner and pressed them against the wound in her daughter's neck. They immediately soaked up Hollyleaf's blood.
"This isn't working," Leafpool whispered. "And I don't think anything will,"

Sad way to end the chapter. I'm blinking back tears.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I'll try to keep up with it.
