Roseheart POV
We all went to RiverClan territory that night.
WindClan and ShadowClan also came to pay their respects.
"I will not rest until the death has been avenged." Blackstar said.
"If we see Lionblaze, I'm afraid I will kill him." Onestar announced.
"She was a good deputy. I will avenge her demise." Leopardstar said.
Firestar was quiet. I thought about how hard this was for him. His grandson was a murderer. And every Clan had just sworn to kill Lionblaze.
I noticed that Jayfeather, Foggyfoot and Blackwhisker were all very close together.
However cruel it may sound, I think that Blackwhisker was happy.
Now his mother would never have to pull him away from another clan. He could live his life freely.
I felt deeply for Poppyfrost and Berrynose. The two would come with Honeyfern, to see Mistyfoot in secret.
This would remind Berrynose of Honeyfern, who was dead. His mate. Poppyfrost was Honeyfern's sister.
I had never been able to understand why Mistyfoot took such affection to them.
The very thought of Mistyfoot was painful. I had a feeling that I had killed her.
I had sworn on the life of the one that caused Blackwhisker to leave.
But I wasn't falling for Blackwhisker.
Then it hit me, who Blackwhisker reminded me of.
Jayfeather. But he can't have children.
He seemed to notice what I noticed.
"It's true. I can't believe she's gone." He said.
I gave him a sympathetic blink.
The gray cat stalked off and soon everyone was leaving.
I approached Firestar.
"You knew, didn't you?" I meowed softly.
He looked at me. "Yes, I knew. At first I thought it was Ashfur. But then I saw the wise ways of Foggyfoot. Jayfeather fitted piece. As hard as this Lionblaze problem is for me, I can't imagine how hard it is for Jayfeather. His brother killed his mate." Firestar looked horribly sad.
"But, you must remember, Jayfeather has wise blood. He will always make the right choice." I meowed.
"You sound like Bluestar. I suppose you've met her, but she was even more amazing when she was alive."
He then went to Squirrelflight.
I thought about our leader and his courage.
I could never be a leader.
I wondered who would be the next deputy deep into the night.
Blackwhisker's POV
I watched Silverpelt glitter above me.
I never knew how alone I would be without my mother.
And also how free. I felt like I could do anything.
Soon, StarClan brought me sleep.
The dream was horrible. I was in the lake and two bodies surrounded me.
They were a bloody red and they looked tired.
One was my mother and the other, Spiderleg.
I looked closer and I smelt that the silver cat was too young to be Mistyfoot. So was Spiderleg.
I felt dead. Toadpaw and Foggyfoot were lying in the lake and a new body came to shore.
It was beautiful. It was newleaf.
It was Roseheart.
I woke in the den.
I went to my sister to wake her.
She wasn't there.
"Pebbleclaw, where's Foggyfoot?" I asked.
"I don't know probably on patrol." He said, tiredly.
I was frantic for the safety of my sister.
The patrol just came back. My sister wasn't there.
"Your sister has gone missing? Toadpaw went missing as well." Leopardstar said.
I looked at the lake. I bounded across it.
There wasn't a single Twoleg in sight.
As I arrived at ThunderClan shore, Thornclaw pounced on me.
"Out traitor!" He hissed.
"I'm here to find my sister." I replied.
"Come with me." The great warrior said.
I saw a flash of something close to horror in his eyes.
When we reached the camp, I saw two silver cats and a golden one.
"Jayfeather, what's wrong with Foggyfoot?" I asked.
He looked at me, his clouded eyes grave.
"Roseheart always spends time at the edge of the lake. She saw a grey shape and she dragged it onto the shore. Of course, when she saw the cat, she took it to camp. She was drowned and then had her throat slit." Jayfeather said mournfully. "There was nothing I could do."
I noticed that Dovepaw and Roseheart were both crying.
I took Roseheart to a secluded corner to ask her about it.
"It was Lionblaze, I just know it. I'm worried, I mean I had this dream. And now Toadpaw's gone away."
"You had a dream too?" I asked.
"You mean you did? Do you think it's like the Prophecy that brought us here?" She asked.
"Perhaps. Let's visit the ShadowClan border. Toadpaw had a friend there. He could be there." She nodded.
"You mean, you don't hate me?" I asked.
"Well, in a way. But I love you." She said.
"I'm a wimp. Afraid of danger." I meowed.
She let out a purr of amusement.
Once we were at the border, we felt the cold wind of the gloomy wood.
Tawnypelt bounded out of the trees.
"What's happened?" Roseheart asked when she saw the solemn expression on the brave she-cat's face.
"Nightwing was found in WindClan territory. She had been murdered. One guess for who did it." She muttered unhappily.
"Why would Lionblaze kill her?" I asked.
"A cat from every Clan. And today, Whitetail, a WindClan elder, was found on the shore of ShadowClan." Tawnypelt looked at the ground.
"Thank you, Tawnypelt." I said.
Later that day, Roseheart and I carried Foggyfoot to RiverClan territory.
When I looked at her, I felt so in love, I almost fainted.
We started to have a small water fight.
We laughed.
But when we entered RiverClan territory, there was nothing to laugh about.
Swallowtail looked at my sister with grieve. By then, WindClan had already told them what had happened.
We saw that Rippletail was the new deputy.
That night, as I stared at Silverpelt, I asked StarClan why they were doing this.
Why kill everyone they knew and I?
I missed Roseheart as well.
And she wouldn't come back.
Drama, peepsicles!
And duhzulles it's gonna get better.
So review!
