Chapter 1: The death and regretful pain

Squirrelflight's POV:

The Firey colored she-cat opened her mouth to draw in the scent to a delcicious vole, "I smell a vole!" Squirrelflight excitedly whispers to her apprentice, Foxpaw, and her old mentor, Dustpelt, who were all on a hunting patrol. Squirrelflight heard the soft sound of scratching. She stalked closer to the sound quietly, and lowered herself with her tail up, hind legs ready to pounce. She slowly inched forward, once she thought she was close enough, she leapt up in the air, and landed right in front of the vole, she unsheeathed her claws & pinned it down, while it was squirming in desperate escape, but Squiurrelflight smirked at the helpless little piece of prey. She lowered her head down to it's neck to bite it until she heard a snap from its neck, its body went limp.

She turned around to see Dustpelt and Foxpaw waiting, with already caught prey. Dustpelt with a big, fat squirrel, and Foxpaw with a mouse just as small as her apprentices paw. Foxpaw and Dustpelt exchanged glances with a smirk, only to look back at Squirrelflight, "Nice catch!" they both said at the same time to Squirrelflight, "Jee, thanks, guys!", even though, to her, it wasn't much of a big deal. It was just a one small piece of prey. But her apprentice and her mentor always made her feel good about herself. They picked up their pieces of prey, and headed back towards ThunderClan camp.

At the camp:

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the high-ledge for a clan meeting!" Firestar yowled, standing on the high-ledge, waiting for the cats to gather around.

The warrior followed through, first. The deputy, Brambleclaw right beside the high-ledge. The apprentices sat right outside of the apprentice den. "As some of you know," Firestar started, "that the dusk patrol from last night, had found Ashfur's dead body near the lake. We don't know if he was unlucky from a confroted patrol from a different Clan, or if he was attacked by something else." he also added, before murmurs of mixed chattered meows erupted. "We will hold a silent vigil for the brave warrior tonight. May he walk in the paws of StarClan." He finished as he leapt down the high-ledge.

Leafpool had Ashfur's body in her medicine den, hidden before vigil started.

There was a rustle at the camp entrance. Leafpool, Firestar, and his mate, Sandstorm, turned around when they heard the rustling. Of course Foxpaw came trodding in, first. Bouncing happily with his caught prey, and put the prey in the fresh-kill pile. Dustpelt came through next, put his in the fresh-kill pile, aswell, and padded off to see his mate, Ferncloud. She told Dustpelt about the meeting that they had.

Last but not least came Squirrelflight, she padded in and set the fresh-kill in the pile. She looked around, confused about the chatter that's going on. She padded up to Mousefur, the elder, who was outside of the elders den, getting the nice breeze. "Mousefur, what happened?"

"We had a Clan meeting right before you came back fro hunting, and found out that Ashfur died yesterday evening." She stated.

Squirrelflight's expression became dismayed, with her pupils dilated. "Why could that possibly happen?" She exclaimed, in distress. "We aren't very sure of why or how it happened." Squirrelflight became very disappointed. Why have I ever done this to hurt Ashfur so badly? Days after we split, he said the meanest things to me such as ' I realized that you still act like a little kit' or 'I don't even know if i even trust you as a friend, anymore' and he called me bad names before spreading rumors around like wild fire that was never even true.

'By the time you want to admit that you still love me, i'll already be gone' is something that rings in her head the most, next to 'it's time to move on'

But yet, I still felt so sad that he's gone now. Why would I be sad if he's been so mean to me before he died?

But as she snapped out of her thoughts, she had just enough time to see Leafpool turned around to face her sister outside of the medicine cat den. Leafpool had recognized her sister's upset expression and beckoned her over with her tail. Squirrelflight slowly padded towards Leafpool.

Leafpool set her tail on Squirrelflight's should to comfort her, "I'm so sorry to you see you this upset, Squirrelflight. You can give things a break for today and rest, if you need." Squirrelflight rested her head on Leafpool's shoulder, "Thank you, Leafpool. I'm lucky I have you as a sister."

"Just don't think about it so much, I hate to see you so upset." Leafpool mewed to her sister, Squirrelflight, "And plus, You still have our mother and father. Firestar and Sandstorm. You also have Brambleclaw, now."

Squirrelflight smiled at the thought of Brambleclaw and remembered what Leafpool told her about the prophecy in her dream. The pawprints that were in Leafpool's dream had resembled Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight, and that nothing could ever break them apart. She smiled at the thought.

Plus, she can't think of just that, she's also a warrior who also has to look out for her clan, and the safety of it.
