Cats appeared from no where, coming from left and right.
She saw cats she knew where dead, and knew that this was no joke. The revenge day was here.
She and Foxleap fell into a back to back position, clawing traiters left and right. She recognized Pineheart and Lizardclaw from ShadowClan right away, followed by Spiderflight his son. It seemed as they betrayed Darkwing and Webpelt.
With Foxleap at her side, she quickly leaped at her enemy, leaving Foxleap to deal with Lizardclaw. She had the element of surprise, and landed precisely onto his back. She dug here claws in deep, making Pineheart squeal, but she didn't let go. He tried to shake her off,but she was to strong. He collapsed from the weight on his back, and Cloversplash took his scruff in her jaws and bit down harder than she ever had before, and shook him fiercely.
Leaving him to moan on the forest floor with a few fatal blows, she lept for Spiderflight, only to discover that his brother, Webpelt, was already pinning him down. It seemed as ShadowClan had come to help.
She fell back into position with Foxleap, after beating Lizardclaw easily. Together, they fought for their lives, giving each Dark Forest warrior a blow to remember them by.
The first fight of the Revenge Day was over before they knew it. They had wiped out most of the traiters, either killing them or letting them run away swearing they won't return. But they kept one cat as a prisoner. Sandbreeze and Willowfrost had caught him, but Cloversplash had ordered them to capture him instead of killing him. They were confused, but obeyed orders.
She leapt onto the Highledge, remembering with a jolt that she was to be leader now. How could she do this? She had no idea whatsoever how to lead a clan! She had been deputy only for a few days for StarClan's sake! But she knew that it was her duty.
"Cats of ThunderClan, we did well today, but we must remember that it isn't over yet. The Revenge Day will happen every day until they are all beaten. However, it is my duty to inform you formally that Bramblestar is dead, killed by one of our very own, Bumblestripe." She left a pause for the cats to take in the news.
"He, alone with Hazeltail, betrayed ThunderClan. Sandbreeze and Willowfrost, bring out the prisoner!" She yowled.
Her two friends disappeared into the den ThunderClan kept for prisoners, and emerged a moment later with a squirming Bumblestripe. He hissed and cursed under his breath.
"This piece of filth betrayed us!" She bellowed, and the cats hissed and swiped at their former clanmate as he was marched into the center of the clearing. The cats of ThinderClan made a circle around him so he couldn't escape. Graystripe looked at his son sadly from the elders den, and Blossomfall and Briarlight looked ashamed for their brother.
"What do you, cats of ThunderClan, victims of his treachery, say we do for his punishment?" She asked calmly, looking at him with eyes full of fire.
"Kill him!"
"Blind him!"
"Exile him!"
"Feed him death berries!"
"Leave him be." Bumblestripe muttered apart from the caterwauls of his former clanmates.
"Enough. We will take a vote. Cats who want exile, go to the elders den. Whoever wants him to be killed, remain below the Highledge." She yowled.
Cloversplash wanted to be the last who chose. She watched as Bumblestripe's family, including Dovewing surprisingly, voted for exile, while many others stayed in the clearing. Sandstorm, Purdy, Cloudtail, Brightheart, Whitewing and Birchfall joined Graystripe, Blossomfall, Briarlight, Dovewing, Moonlight and Frostflower at the elders den.
Spiderleg, Ambercloud, Cherryfall, Molewhisker and most of the apprentices stayed in the clearing with the others.
Finally, it was her turn to vote. It was hard, but she remembered the stories that Sandstorm used to tell her about he old forest and Tigerstar. When he plotted against his clan, he was exiled, not killed, though many must have wanted too. But if they had killed him, he would've never took over ShadowClan, and Scourge would never have come. In the end, she voted for exile. She couldn't kill him when she knew that he wasn't always like this.
Jayfeather tallied the votes, and in the end, more cats voted for exile, by one point. That meant if she would've chosen death, he would've been killed.
Bumblestripe's family looked relieved, him included, but as he was escorted out of ThunderClan, he spat at every cat and cursed openly at them.
"I'll be back, you just wait!" He snarled as the shadows swallowed him up and he was gone.
It was a hard time to have kits. Frostflower had gone into labor soon after Bumblestripe was exiled, and surprisingly, even in a time like this, it went smoothly.
There were three toms and a she-kit. Coalpelt was delighted and they soon named their kits.
The she-kit was black and white, and they named her Leafkit, after Leafpool who died of her wounds from the attack. The toms, one gray, one black and one a dark brown tabby, named them Graykit, after Graystripe's grief over Bumblestripe, Smokekit, and Sparrowkit.
Every cat was happy, but still grieved over the cats they had lost.
Leafpool was the first to join StarClan, followed by Blossomfall for the same reasons, then Birchfall, who died of hidden death berries in a mouse, they all assumed it was Bumblestripe's last parting gift, and much to Cloversplash's destress, Fireleaf. She died mysteriously. She was found dead by Cloudtail's patrol after the last Dark Forest cat fled.
They held quick vigils for the fallen, but had to make them quick because they needs to rest and train after the hard day. But before Cloversplash could rest, there was one thing she had to do, and it was important.
"Cloversplash, we have to leave immediately for the Moonpool." Came Moonlight's meow.
"I know, I know." Cloversplash sighed.
The two met Jayfeather at the entrance, along with Lionblaze and Redheart, who came for protection. They couldn't take any chances.
They raced through the forest, hoping to make this journey as fast as possible.
When they arrived at the Moonpool, she ordered Lionblaze and Redheart to stand guard while the medicine cats and her entered the clearing with the Moonpool.
Jayfeather ordered her to drink, so she did. The last thing she felt before she fell into sleep was the cold dark water hitting the bottom of her stomache.
