Fireheart panted heavily from a newly stinging scratch above his right eye, he didnt see any blue-gray fur littered around the clearing, he was distressed by that but assumed that maybe Bluestar was staying safe in her den, as she was on her last life.

As Blackfoot dashed away from Bluestars den, Fireheart felt his blood run cold, looking around frantically for Tigerclaw, Both Bluestar and Tigerclaw arent in the clearing,

Fireheart had a feeling that danger was looming, he darted past Whitestorm, who was writhing with a rogue the same size.

Weight was thrown at Fireheart before he reached Bluestars den, He caught a glimpse of a massive black paw, immediately knowing its Blackfoot.

Fireheart hissed in pain as Blackfoot ripped his ear, blood dripped down his face, but he was way too frightened for Bluestar to pay any attention, he twisted, barely able to from the rogues greater size.

Fireheart landed a attack on Blackfoots forehead, unsheathing his claws so far it hurt.

Blackfoot growled in pain and dashed away.

Fireheart scrambled to his paws and darted to Bluestars den, he couldnt hear anything, but could smell blood, alot of blood specifically, making his fur stand on end.

On instinct, he sprang through the curtain of lichen, what he saw was dreadful.

Bluestar was laying dead or unconsious with Tigerclaw at her side, licking blood off a forepaw calmly, he glanced up at Fireheart and purred menacingly. "Your late, kittypet." He bared his fangs, which had blood on them, Firehearts mouth was agape with shock, he knew Tigerclaw wanted to be leader, but so much he would outright try to slaughter Bluestar?

Fireheart found his voice again and said with disbelief. "You... you killed her!" he assumed that Bluestar was dead, blood was still flowing out a wound in her throat and she was still, it was hard to tell if she was breathing.

Tigerclaw stopped licking his bloody paw and sneered. "And its the best thing i've ever done."

Fireheart couldnt believe Tigerclaw would actually kill Bluestar, he thought the Thunderpath plan that Cinderpelt was caught in was to cripple her, and make her retire. "She made you deputy! You didnt need to KILL her, you would have succeeded her either way!"

Tigerclaw rolled his eyes and wiped his not-so-bloody paw on Bluestars fur. "And it was the best decision she ever made, how is ThunderClan ever going to get strong when Bluestar needs to appoint a new deputy every moon? Shes too much like Redtail, always looking for peace."

Fireheart felt anger surge through him, and without warning — threw himself at Tigerclaw, Tigerclaw was caught off guard but quickly regained his composure.

Fireheart tried to keep away from Bluestars body, only ever shoving Tigerclaw towards her to get Tigerclaws scent on her, as he assumed by the time he and Tigerclaw finished fighting, she would only smell of blood.

Pain lanced through Fireheart from a blow from Tigerclaws powerful hindpaws, he hissed in pain and slammed himself into Tigerclaws flank, trying to unbalance the bloodythirsty deputy.

Tigerclaw stumbled a bit but did not fall or expose any vulnerable places for Fireheart to attack, Fireheart sprang onto Tigerclaws back and bit his ear, spraying blood into the air as he tore it.

Tigerclaw shook Fireheart off and shoved his muzzle into a pool of blood beside Bluestars body, Fireheart spat uncontrollably, he wouldnt dare lick it.

During Firehearts spitting, Tigerclaw pinned him down, and with one swift movement, threw him against the wall, making him fall unconsious.
