Chapter 3
Lionclaw was lying still, stuggling to breathe.
"Lionclaw!!" Poppybreeze gasped as she saw his body.
"Hush. Let him get some sleep. His bones are growing weaker and he is trying to breath." Heatherflight, the mdicine cat said. Her apprentice, Greenpaw was sitting next to Lionclaw.
"It's okay. Let her talk to me." Lionclaw managed to choke out.
"Lionclaw...What happened? I knew you were a bit weaker the past few days but...Not this much." Poppybreeze whispered her voice fading every sentence she said.
"It may be the last of me, but I will always be with you." Lionclaw stuggled to say.
"Don't talk! Save it!!" Poppybreeze told him.
Just then, her mother, Pollenbreeze ran into the den.
"Lionclaw!! You will not go to StarClan, you will not go to StarClan!!" Poppybreeze forced him.
"Do something!! And you call yourself medicine cats!!" Pollenbreeze shouted.
"I am afraid there is nothing more to do. It is up to StarClan now." Heatherflight calmly responded.
Suddenly, Lionclaw stopped breathing and moving.
"I will have to go to StarClan now. But I will always be with you." Lionclaw said his last words, and lay still on the ground.
"NOOO!!! FATHER!!!" Pollenbreeze screamed.
"No...Lionclaw...You can't leave us..." Poppybreeze said more calmly. As she was always so jumpy, right now, she had no emotion except for sadness.
Flamestar, Rainsong, Pollenbreeze, and Poppybreeze were going to Lionclaw's vigil.
"He was a great cat." Rainsong said.
"Mhm" Flamestar agreed. "We will grieve for his death"
Pollenbreeze had tears pricking down her face but she blinked them back.
In the morning, after Rainsong organized patrols, he went to do some solo-hunting.
He stepped out of camp, into the vast meadows that spread until the eye could see. He felt in the mood to catch fish, so he went to the bubbling brook.
Trout were swimming as if hoping to be caught. Rainsong quickly swiped his claw to catch it, and he gave a powerful blow. The fish was dead in seconds.
Rainsong was about to hunt a little more, when he saw something. Something very, very bad.
He rushed to camp to tell Flamestar the news.
"Flamestar!! Flamestar!!! I saw Mossear kill Willownose in the Meadow while I was hunting!!!" Rainsong shouted.
"Oh my! Take me right away!" Flamestar said, not really caring.
When they reached, Willownose's body lay right there. And next to her, was Mossear.
"Aha! You killed your own mate! How dreadful is that! And she was a queen with kits in the nursery as we speak!!" Rainsong said.
"No! It was not me! I was with Willownose, but I turned around to hunt a rabbit, and she died!!" Mossear protested.
"Well, it's exaltation for you." Flamestar said.
"N-" Mossear tried to say. No protests!! Rainsong saw it, and you were with her." Flamestar said.
As they headed back to camp, Flamestar called a meeting.
"All those old enough to catch they're own prey gather before the high rock!!" Flamestar's voice boomed in the clan.
"Willownose, a queen with kits has been killed by Mossear."
"My brother would never so that!!!" Jagggedface said.
"Silence!!! Rainsong saw what he saw, and Mossear is exiled from this clan. If we see your face in our borders one more time, we will treat you as an enemy." Flamestar said.
Mossear sighed, and left without saying a word. He was not the kind of cat that would arguing.
