Chapter 7
'oh great Starclan, oh great Starclan' she repeated in her head, her heart beating faster than a rabbit.
Foxpaw's body lay in the middle of the Thunderpath, smushed. Lilacpaw looked left and right, not seeing anymore monsters.
She padded over to Foxpaw, and grabbed him by his scruff, "Maybe if I get you to Dustsky fast enough..." She set him back down, "Don't worry, I am gonna go get Dustsky, okay?" She meowed, her voice shaking.
She turned around and ran back, her paws going so fast that she thought they would fall off. She ran into camp, yowling her head off, "Foxpaw! Foxpaw got ran over by a monster!" She squealed, tears falling down her face.
Dovestar perked her ears, "Ferntail, Frostleaf and Dustsky! Go to the Thunderpath! And quickly!"
Dustsky ran out of the medicine cat den, holding cobwebs and marigold.
Frostleaf and Ferntail ran out of camp, Dustsky running after them. Lilacpaw began to run after Dustsky, crying.
They finally found the Thunderpath, where Foxpaw laid.
Frostleaf padded up onto the Thunderpath, grabbing Foxpaw's neck and lifting him up off the ground.
She padded off the Thunderpath, setting him lightly down on the ground, "We were too late." Frostleaf mewed.
Lilacpaw wailed, crouching beside his body. Frostleaf nudged Lilacpaw away with her tail, and picked up Foxpaw's body, padding back to camp.
Ferntail kept her head low, while Dustsky padded next to Lilacpaw, trying to comfort the crying apprentice. Lilacpaw sighed "It's my fault, I should have told Redwood to come with us... then this would have never happened."
Dustsky shook his head, "It's not your fault. Don't worry." he meowed.
When they reached the camp, Frostleaf set Foxpaw's body in the middle of the clearing.
Streampaw and Mousepaw were crying, Yellowpaw and Lightningpaw were trying hard to comfort them. Spottedflower and Flameheart were staring at Foxpaw's body, both crying.
Lilacpaw felt worse.
She sat down and looked up at Dovestar. Dovestar was looking at her, her teeth bared.
Lilacpaw quickly turned away, 'Does he think that I killed him?' she thought. She sighed and looked around camp again, her ears low.
Redwood padded over and sat beside her, his tail brushing against Lilacpaw, "It's going to be alright."
Lilacpaw nodded, wanting to wail. "What's beyond the Thunderpath? Which clans territory is it?" she asked.
Redwood shook his head, "No clan owns it, it seemed a little dangerous beyond there." he meowed. Lilacpaw nodded, sighing, "Did you ever venture off beyond it?" she asked. Redwood shook his head again, "No, no one has, not even Vineclan."
Lilacpaw nodded and looked at Streampaw and Mousepaw, they seemed to have stopped crying, but their eyes were still fixed on the dead body of Foxpaw.
She glanced over to Spottedflower and Flameheart, both were still crying in each other's fur.
Lilacpaw noticed that more cats were affected, then when Beetlekit died.
Why did more cats care more for Foxpaw?
Lilacpaw shook the question out of her head, telling herself that the clan loved them all equally.
Redwood began to nudge her over to the Apprentice den, "You need your rest. I will let you skip training to help you cope." he meowed.
Lilacpaw shook her head, "I will train." she mewed. Redwood nodded, "Alright, but go get some rest."
Lilacpaw nodded, then ran into the Apprentice den, passing Streampaw, Mousepaw, Lightningpaw, and Yellowpaw.
Lilacpaw sniffed out her nest and curled up in it, falling into a deep sleep.
There goes Foxpaw ;;
He was cool, man.
