"NO!" Squirrelflight's voice rang throughout the clearing of frozen cats. She pushed her way through the crowd and stood beside Sorreltail. Her eyes went wide to see the motionless body by her paws. The pelt was a light brown, it was Leafpool. She dropped to her knees, she couldn't bear to stand any longer and threw her head to the sky, let out a howl of excruciating agony and dropped beside her sister, weeping. It went on like this for a while but finally Firestar stepped in.
"Squirrelflight," Firestar began gently, "Leafpool will always be remembered in Thunderclan, alive or dead, and we will always honor that memory, as it shall never die in our hearts. She was my daughter as much as your sister." he reminded, "We will sit a full vigil tonight in honor of her noble death. She died protecting her clan." he finished. Firestar turned back to the crowd, "Lionblaze and Jayfeather, I know that you have disliked Leafpool for what she did to you, how she broke the two codes that the warriors have, for taking a mate, but not only that but a mate from a different clan. But right now, you need to acknowledge that you have always truly loved her. You were just angry. Acting only because of her choice. Honor her memory now, and push forward that you never truly disliked her, that there was always love in your heart for her." he turned specifically to Jayfeather, "Jayfeather," he continued, "Leafpool was not only your true mother, but she was your mentor, you should have the most respect and love for her than all of us."
Jayfeather turned to him, pausing his work on the patient. His eyes shone with sadness and grief, "I did love her, and I always will. No matter how much I tried to deny it, I always loved her. As a mentor, as a mother, and as a medicine cat, I thought she was the bravest cat there was." he admitted.
Firestar nodded, "Thank you Jayfeather," but Jayfeather merly snorted now, the inside look at the cat's mind just vanished, "and Lionblaze?" Firestar turned to Lionblaze.
Lionblaze turned to Firestar, "I loved my mother." he said, but it was clear he was not finished, "But I will still never forgive her for what she did to us, she made the other clans see us as threats, traitors, all because of her mistake." he said, "But I will still always honor her in my heart." he finished.
"Then let the vigils commence for Leafpool and Blossompaw." Firestar concluded.
