Epilogue
The gray tom struggled to get up. Around him lay his three sisters and the body of his fourth, Falconkit. "What happened?" He murmured to himself. All at once, as if listening to his question, the memories flooded into his mind.
"Smokekit!" Leafkit spluttered and gasped, lifting her head off the ground. "What- what happened? Snowhaze? Falconkit?" Her words came out tangled. "Shhh." Smokekit assured his sister.
Suddenly, a familiar-looking golden she-cat rushed into camp. "Goldenfern, GOLDENFERN!" Smokekit shouted, running towards the medicine cat and her tired-looking apprentice. "Smokekit?" Goldenfern managed to pry the excited, yet slightly anxious tom off her.
Goldenfern seemed to return to her normal state, dashing towards the medicine den. "Are you hurt? Any shock, or - just anything?" She hurriedly grabbed a bunch of herbs and stumbled towards Smokekit and his littermates.
Blazeflight smirked at his mentor's slight paranoia, then wearily went to sleep inside his den. Brindlepaw was there, too, awake and cheerful despite the herbs and the splint propped against her leg.
Soon, everyone was back except for Hawkeyes, Reedfall and Leafstripe. Rosestar pattered around her den anxiously. Where was her mate? As soon as she started dreading the worst, Reedfall's distinctive voice yowled, "I'm back!" to the whole Clan.
"Reedfall!" Rosestar darted outside, expecting to see a wide grin on the tomcat's face. Instead a look of grief shadowed his good looks, and altogether wiping the greeting smile on Rosestar's face.
"What happened?" Rosestar asked softly, stroking her tail over her mate's pelt. Reedfall looked up at Rosestar with sadness in his eyes. "Hawkeyes is dead." He meowed softly. "He was crushed by a falling tree."
Rosestar was pained by this news, but she knew what to do. "Cats of DuskClan, gather beneath the Burnt Log!" She yowled in a louder voice than normal. Each cat held a different look; some shone with happiness, yet others were distressed.
"I believe, it is time for me to announce the deaths of our beloved Clanmates." Rosestar lowered her eyes in a gesture of sadness. The cats followed suit, bending their heads in sadness. "As you might know, Snowhaze's body was found near the camp entrance today. Falconkit drowned in the flood, and Hawkeyes was crushed by a tree."
Smokekit let out a whine of distress as he realized both of his parents were gone, and even his sister. Gone forever. Many cries were let out as loved ones of the three dead cats mourned.
Though a lot had changed, the six New Clans still lived, and the cats would slowly return back to their normal selves. However, danger was not yet over.
A/N: O.M.G. I can't believe Divided is over! Don't worry though, there will be a sequel and I can tell you the title will be...
DEPARTED! (obviously without the !)
Stay tuned and I will be dropping hints!
