A/N: Because of the science fair being stressful and time consuming I have not been

updating. BUT it ends next week so, I will actually update. Yay. Now be happy. NOW!

"Brambleclaw, come here!" Hollystar rudely ordered.

He stumbled up to her, nearly starved, boney and scratches from the rouges covered his

body.

"Y-yes, Hollystar?"

"I have decided that you will leave this clan. I know that in order to get my nine lives there

must not be a deputy in the clan, otherwise Starclan won't give me the lives."

"Wh...Starclan won't give you n-nine lives, you've d-done too m-m-much for them to do

so. A-and what i-if I don't go?" Brambleclaw wheezed.

"They gave Brokenstar his nine lives, and so far he has done far worse than what I've

done. Anyway, If you don't leave peacefully, hmmm, I think I'll let Skullbeast have his way with

you, hmmm. Maybe I'll let Crackedleg on you, he is... very... "social" with other cats.

"I-I'll go, can I say good-bye?"

"You stepped down far easier than I thought. You may say good-bye."

Brambleclaw stumbled down into the overcrowded elders den. He said a quick good-bye

to all the other cats, except Squirrelflight, he whispered into her ear his plan. She brightened up a

little then immediately started wailing.

"Oh, Brambleclaw! Why, just why do you have to go!? Whyyyyy!" she sobbed for the rest

of the day.

Brambleclaw left the den and left the camp without another word.
