Here is chapter 27 (I know I know you all hate me now! It had to be done!)

CHAPTER 27

(Bramblesky's POV)

Bramblesky watched as a brown and white queen licked her two kits whispering comforting words to them. Rainbreeze's yowl from outside the den made Bramblesky's blood freeze and she pushed back the urge to race from the den. Instead she padded over to the RiverClan queen, "Hi little ones would you like a badger ride?" Bramblesky asked.

"Huh?" a brown she-kit tipped her head to one side.

"What's that?" the white tom fluffed out his fur and stared at Bramblesky.

"You've never had a badger ride! Well hope on!" Bramblesky exclaimed, before bending down. The two kits glanced at their mother who nodded before pouncing onto Bramblesky's back. She winced as their claws scraped her fur but she allowed herself to stay calm, once the kits were securely on her back she stood.

"WHOA!" one squealed, digging their claws deeper into Bramblesky's back. The queen blinked gratefully at Bramblesky before padding over to Littlestrike. Bramblesky was about to stomp around the den when Rainbreeze poked his head into the nursery, his blue eyes were wide and his gray and white fur was dripping with blood. Bramblesky set the kits down and rushed towards him, pressing her face into his flank she sobbed.

"Its okay, we're both alive" he murmured.

Bramblesky pulls away, "I thought," she coughed before continuing. "I thought I'd lose you"

"Don't worry you'll never lose me but Alice...she doesn't look too good..." he trailed off, Bramblesky's heart stopped and she plunged from the nursery. No! No! NO! I can't lose her again! She rushed towards where Moorleap was crouched, his eyes puffy from crying and his brown fur plastered with blood. Alice's crumpled figure was lying beside him.

Warily Poolpaw padded over her eyes gleaming with hunger, "She's gone now, you'll just have to love me!" she muttered softly not meaning for Moorleap to hear, but he did.

"Alice is everything to me! And I will NEVER EVER love any other cat again, I will die alone and go to StarClan and be with her, no one else!" he snarled before continuing to lick Alice's gray calico fur. Poolpaw looked surprised, then disgusted then well sad. She turned tail and padded away, Bramblesky stared after her for a moment before rushing to Alice's side.

"NO! NO! NO!" she yowled not caring who heard her, the RiverClan just stared sadly at her while WindClanners began to pad over to Alice, their eyes brimming with tears.

Suddenly Rainbreeze was beside her, "Bramblesky you need to rest, think of our kits" he murmured.

"I DON'T WANT TO! ALICE IS GONE!" Bramblesky yowled unsheathing her claws, Dawnfire padded over her eyes weary and for the first time Bramblesky realized how old the medicine cat was, and she didn't have an apprentice!

"Rainbreeze is right, rest Bramblesky Alice is already watching over you" Dawnfire soothed, Bramblesky dipped her head to the medicine cat and allowed Rainbreeze to steer her into the nursery. Once she was settled Rainbreeze licked her forehead and was about to pad from the den, Bramblesky called him back.

"Will you stay with me?" she asked softly, Rainbreeze purred and settled down beside her, Bramblesky quickly fell into a deep sleep.

"WindClan will mourn the losses of Alice and Deepfern, but most importantly RiverClan and WindClan have succeeded in the downfall of ThunderClan and ShadowClan! There are three apprentices who fought bravely in the fight and all deserve warrior names! Poolpaw, you shall be called Poolflower! Talonpaw, shall be Talonclaw! And Darkpaw, will be Darkcloud!" Cloudstar yowled. Poolflower's eyes gleamed, Talonclaw puffed out his chest and Darkcloud glanced sheepishly at Shinningheart who was sitting beside Poolflower.

"Poolflower, Talonclaw, Darkcloud!" the two Clans chant.

Runningstar turned to Cloudstar, "RiverClan must depart to our own territory, we thank WindClan for their help but we are still rivals and I hope you understand that," he meowed, Cloudstar dipped his head in a silent farewell as the RiverClanners began to set out. Bramblesky barely glanced at them, her fur was pressed into her friends coat. Moorleap was beside her, so close she could feel every muscle in his body shake as he sobbed into Alice's flank. Rainbreeze was sitting beside his mate, tail rested lightly over her flank. His presence made Bramblesky feel better, but with Alice gone for real...Did she go to StarClan? Will I when I die? Having we were twolegs? Cloudstar continued his speech but Bramblesky hardly heard him. Before she knew it Snailshell and Patchfeather were padding over to take Alice's body.

"No" Bramblesky growled getting shakily to her paws, "Moorleap, Rainbreeze and I will bury her" she stated, Moorleap nodded and Rainbreeze pressed against Bramblesky's flank, before helping Moorleap hoist Alice onto their shoulders. Bramblesky was a bit irritated that she didn't get to carry her friend, but thankful that the two toms were willing since she was expecting kits and all. They reached the familiar burying place and began to scrape the ground with their claws, after what seemed like moons they had dug a deep enough hole.

Moorleap placed Alice's body down, "She was an amazing hunter and fighter, she easily stole my heart and I love her and always will," he managed to choke out, Bramblesky licked his forehead, Moorleap barely flinched.

"Alice you will always be my best friend and I care for you more than you ever imagined," Bramblesky sobbed.

"For the little time I knew you, you were a strong, willpowered she-cat. You knew about me and Bramblesky but you didn't care, you knew the true meaning of love." Rainbreeze meowed, his words carried on the wind.

Moorleap licked Alice's forehead one more time, "You'll always be Mistyeye's to me" he murmured before kicking dirt into the hole, and filling in the ground where his love was put to rest.

*Sob* *Sob* It's so sad! :( Alice is really truly dead!
