"Alright I'll get some twigs for the medicine den," DarkStripe nodded to his best friend, TigerClaw.

W/n hopped up to him with a smile, "I'll come too!" The brown tabby huffed as he padded away to speak to BlueStar.

DarkStripe padded out of camp and W/n followed, they began picking up any sticks they could find, along with leaves and moss.

"How about this stick?" W/n mewed as she sniffed it picking it up. "DarkStripe?" The p/c she-cat looked around but didn't see her mate anywhere.

She growled in annoyance, "DarkStripe this isn't funny, I know this is one of your-" W/n was then tackled, leaves and moss flew everywhere and stuck to her pelt. "-jokes."

"Ha! I got ya," he laughed as he laid on top of her, "you didn't see me coming!" He then noticed the position they were in and moved off his mate.

"Anyway you have enough sticks?" W/n awkwardly laughed, he nodded and grabbed them off the ground. The she-cat grabbed the leaves and moss and smiled.

"Let's head back then," DarkStripe nodded, they returned to camp and gave in the resources. W/n laid down in the sun as DarkStripe groomed her pelt. "Where's TigerClaw?"

W/n looked around and didn't see the brown tabby. "Actually, where is CinderPaw? FireHeart and GreyStripe aren't here either..."

"I don't really care about them, I'm worried about TigerClaw," the black tabby mumbled as he began grooming his own pelt.

"You don't have to worry about him, he's capable enough to look after himself!" W/n laughed.

But the clan went Silent as TigerClaw marched through camp and into BlueStar's den, following him was FireHeart and CinderPaw with two kits and a very distraught GreyStripe.

"What's happened?" W/n asks TigerClaw once he passes by. "Kits that belong to GreyStripe and SilverStream..."

"He was in a half-clan relationship?" DarkStripe said in disgust. W/n looked towards the grey Tom to see him just looking at his paws.

BlueStar exited her den and approached TigerClaw. They both whispered to each other, glancing over at GreyStripe every so often.

The leader then entered the nursery with CinderPaw and FireHeart. YellowFang had eventually come back to camp with BrackenFur following her.

"CinderPaw's beating herself up about the RiverClan Queen's death," BrightPaw sighed as she approached the group with LongTail.

TigerClaw looked at the sky, "for an apprentice she did her best, as much as I am furious about these half bloods, CinderPaw was only doing her duty."

"She should've let them die, they don't belong here," DarkStripe abruptly spat as he clawed the ground. W/n snarled at him, "give your brother at least some respect!" He only rolled his eyes and started to lick his paws.

W/n shook her head and looked at the grey Tom, he laid beside the apprentices den, his yellow eyes clouded with grief.

FireHeart approached him and laid beside his friend, licking his grey fur trying to comfort him on the death of his mate.
