Nightpaw's POV
The next day we went hunting. Cinderheart was actually nice to me, maybe her talk with Hollyleaf helped.
"Show me your hunting crouch" my fluffy mentor said.
I crouched down and stuck my tail out.
"Good" she purred. "Now go catch that vole".
I stalked up to it, pounced and caught it! Cinderheart purred at me. I beamed; maybe she had a bad day yesterday!
"Umm I'll be right back I have to make dirt" Cinderheart murmured. I nodded ok and after a few moments she came back.
Soon we caught and bunch more prey and headed back to camp.
When we got back to camp I heard low mournful yowls. I recognized icecloud and Lionblaze's out of many. I dropped all my prey and ran through the camp entrance.
There at the edge of the clearing lay Whitepaw with her mentor Dovewing by her side. Dovewing go up and turned to Jayfeather and Lightpaw "she's dead isn't she?" she asked.
By then I was standing with my parents who were next to Dovewing. Jayfeather nodded his head in grief. Lionblaze was his brother so Whitepaw was his kin.
Then my body seized up in panic. I couldn't lose her what would I do?
I looked at my dead sister. Her beautiful white pelt was fluffed up in fear, her dull eyes wide with sock, and her claws out.
Lionblaze turned on his former apprentice "where were you when this happened?" he snarled. Dovewing backed up "We were hunting and I was about to catch a HUGE pheasant and she saw a squirrel and chased after it".
Jayfeather pressed his nose into his brother's fur. "It was an accident; remember when it happened to me?"
Lionblaze sighed and turned to Dovewing "I'm sorry". She nodded ok.
Bramblestar came out of his den said softly "she must have fell" or even softer "or been pushed".
All the cats yowled in shock. Brackenfur went to me and lightpaw "go get some rest before you sit the vigil" I nodded my head in agreement and fell asleep.
