Cats had gathered around the clearing that morning, everyone letting out shock gasps or screams.
W/n groggily opened her eyes and walked out, "stay in the nursery kits..." she meowed, the smell of blood hit her nose.
Then her eyes widened as she yowled the loudest, "OH STARCLAN!" She couldn't believe that SwiftPaw laid there dead in front of her, and BrightPaw's face was mangled.
"What did they do to deserve this?!" The p/c she-cat cried as she tightly held into her brother and apprentice.
LongTail and GoldenFlower joined her grief with SwiftPaw, FrostFur was wailed uncontrollably at BrightPaw's side.
"I need to help BrightPaw!" CinderPelt pushed through the cats and she, with the help of FireHeart helped carry her into the medicine den.
CloudTail ran after them, However W/n stayed by SwiftPaw's side, he didn't even get his warrior name...
Every cat gathered around for the vigil of the young warrior, PatchKit had gone into the medicine den and fetched mint, rubbing it into SwiftPaw's pelt to hide the scent of death.
"He died a warrior in our hearts, it's sad that he didn't get his warrior name," W/n breathed out, "but we will watch over BrightPaw for him, and at least he's in a better place with his father and can watch us from StarClan..."
WhiteStorm began to lower his head, MouseFur joined in and soon everyone nuzzled into SwiftPaw's fur or sat silently.
It must of been around sunhigh as every cat wandered back to their duties, W/n and LongTail helped the elders carry the apprentices body and buried him.
LongTail found a lavender flower and placed it on the grave. W/n sat there as the pale tabby walked off.
Eventually the queen lifted herself up and padded back to camp, she needed to see BrightPaw and get back to her kits.
Once she was back at camp she noticed DarkStripe licking NightKit's pelt, she seemed to be angry about something.
"What's wrong dear?" W/n questioned the black kit, she huffed back. "PatchKit has gone into the medicine den, saying he needed to help CinderPelt..."
W/n didn't even speak to her mate as she padded to the medicine cat den and entered, hearing BrightPaw murmuring in her sleep.
"Is she still holding on?" The p/c she-cat whispered as she crouched down and rested her muzzle on the ginger and white she-cat.
CinderPelt heavily sighed, "yes, PatchKit has been helping me, he's very brave to be here...but BrightPaw can't be a warrior."
W/n glared at the grey she-cat, "what did you say?" CinderPelt lowered her head, FireHeart looked fearful. "She will be a warrior, if I can be one with one eye so can she!"
CloudTail then entered, rustling the ferns as he crouched beside BrightPaw, W/n moved to allow him to be close to her.
"I thought I told you to get some rest," CinderPelt narrowed her eyes at the white Tom.
He shook his head, "I wanted to see if she was okay." CloudTail began licked the she-cat's shoulder whispering about how beautiful she still was.
