Chapter 7


Meanwhile, elsewhere in Shadowface's dwelling:

Donny was pacing, He'd glimpsed his son's face when his voice had changed temporarily, and it wasn't his face...

"LEAFSTAR!" the shriek split the air along with the roar of a monster.

"Oh no..." Donny whispered, and he shot out of the dwelling in a blur, as did Many other cats.

"LEAFSTAR! Leafstar! leafstar..." one of the Skyclan cats whispered. "She's going to die... this is her last life..."

Leafstar lay in the middle of the thunderpath, eyes glazed, her legs crooked. Hawkfur could not stand the sight of it.

"No..."Hawkfur whispered.

"h...hawk..." leafstar whispered faintly, a thin line of blood streamed from her mouth. Hawkfur leaned close.

"What is it Leafstar..." Whispered Hawk.

"Watch for raging fires, and the thin ice unseen will trap a foe, shadow not bad will hide you in times of need, friend will come soon, welcome with open heart"

"Thank you leafstar." Hawk whispered.

"Thank Jayfeather, not me." murmered Leafstar, her eyes closing, "I'm coming Skywatcher...Rainpelt..." and with that, her eyes shut, and she went limp, her head, which she'd been holding up to speak, fell to the ground with a faint thud. That thud echoed eerily in the night. Her breathing slowed... then, it stopped.

Leafstar, the great leader of the newly Re-formed Skyclan, was dead.

"Starclan light your path..." Shadowface whispered, his eyes were clouded.

"Leaf... Leaf... poor leaf.." Donny was on the verge of wailing.

"Poor Donny, He's taking the loss hard.." Hawkfur whispered to herself.

"Hawk," Whispered Barkkit, "Leafstar was my aunt." The young Kit's eyes were burdened with tears.

How had he snuck up on her like that?

"Shhh... She's in Starclan now." Hawkfur said, putting her head over the kit's head to console him. Rosepetals, who'd come with herbs in her mouth, hung her head low.

Leafstars breath shuddered, then, it stopped.

"Donny, Nigel, I'm so sorry..." Shadowface whispered.

"She was me mum... Now... Mum's dead..." Donny moaned.

Kenny, to young to understand death, went up to the dead cat and prodded her.

"Aunty Leaf! Wake up! Leafy? Leaf WAKE UP! Rosepetals, she won't wake up!" Kenny wailed.

"Kenny... she's not sleeping,"Donny said.

"Soo, she's awake?"Kenny asked hopefully.

"No Kenny," Hawkfur said, she'd had to give this talk to a kit once before, when it's mother had died, "Leafstar... she got hurt real bad."

"Can't rose fix her!" Kenny asked starring at rosepetals," Well! You're a madicine cat! Fix her please!"

"Kenny... be quiet and listen, she's, she's dead. she can't wake up. She WON'T wake up." Hawkfur said, sitting by the kit and putting her paw around his tiny shoulders.

"No... My REAL daddy is dead! Mommy said so! Leafstar is not DEAD! YOU HEAR ME YOU USELESS FEMALE!" he yowled in defiance, Hawkfur wanted to strike his face, but refrained with much effort.

"Kenny!" Sunflower wailed her eyes wide with fear.

'This ought to be interesting,' Hawkfur thought to herself, still seething at Kenny's insult.

"His REAL daddy?" Donny hissed at sunflower, anger written clearly on his face.

"Donny, I can explain!" Sunflower wailed.
