Berrynose was freezing. Tonight was a very cold night, and he had to stay up to guard. Frost was hanging from the trees. It was snowing too. He coughed and coughed.
Jayfeather woke up in the morning and padded out of the den. He could smell sickness. The sickness was in the middle of the Clearing. He knew that smell. It was Berrynose! "Berrynose! Wake up." He said, licking the tom. His creamy fur shook and he woke up. He coughed a little and smiled. "Hello." he said.
Two kits were in the Clearing, playing in the snow. Some cats wouldn't know if they were there. Poppyfrost went on the snow and called, "Molekit! Cherykit! Back in the den now. Before you freeze." She ordered. The two ran back inside the Nursery. Poppyfrost smelt Berrynose and padded to the blind Medicine Cat and her mate. Berrynose coughed. "Poppyfrost..." he whispered. Jayfeather and Poppyfrost picked up Berrynose's muzzle and walked to Jayfeather's den.
"So? Will he ever be okay?" She asked. Jayfeather licked her. "I don't know. He does have Greencough, though. He must have caught it over night." Poppyfrost sighed and looked at her sick mate. He had to be alive when her kits became apprentices. She walked out silently.
The next day, Firestar went on the Highrock and called, "Meeting! Molekit is now Molepaw, mentored by Brambleclaw. Cherrykit is now Cherrypaw, mentored by Blossomfall." And climbed down.
"Help!" A scream came. It was Jayfeather's voice. Poppyfrost, Molepaw, and Cherrypaw came in.
"He is dieing... His breathing is going down less and less." Jayfeather told them. They pulled through. Poppyfrost licked him. "You lived to see them born. You lived to see there first day of apprentices." She whispered.
"But I can't see them being warriors. I love you, Poppyfrost. But Honeyfern is calling me to join her. Tell the two that I love them." He said.
He closed his eyes. "No!"They all shrieked. Berrynose took his last breath, and lied there, motionless. He was dead.
Poppyfrost looked into the sky. She saw two stars together shining on her. Honeyfern and Berrynose!
That night, she went to get his nest. She took some moss and bracken. She put some moss in her nest, then looked into the apprentice's den. She added some bracken to her kits nests, and went back to her nest, knowing Berrynose would be at her side.
