Darkstorm padded over to Morningstar's den curious about what she wanted to talk about. Once he was at the entrance of her den the smell of sickness entered his nose.

He shook his head and entered the den to see Morningstar in her nest her back turned to him. Darkstorm grabbed her attention when he cleared his throat.

The ginger she cat turned and nodded when she saw him. "I have important news for you." Darkstorm sat in front of her worried about what news she wanted to tell him.

"I have two lives left." Darkstorm felt shocked. When did she lose her lives? The she cat sighed and sat up. "The sickness took three lives from me."

Darkstorm didn't realize how bad the sickness was and felt more thankful that Raccoonclaw survived. He then looked back at Morningstar curious about how she lost her four other lives.

"Then when Maplenose went to the half moon meeting I went out the camp and ate death berries forgetting the color of the herb Maplenose told me about."

Darkstorm remembered stories from when he was kit about death berries. "I lost another life when I met a rouge and crossed into their territory."

Darkstorm felt angry how the rouge took a life and was a bit upset that Tigerlilly was thinking about taking her chances of being a rouge when others will kill to protect territory.

Morningstar went on to explain how she lost her last two lives. "I lost another life when I ran into Robinstar and he defend his territory but I fell into the river and drowned He saved me. Before I lost another."

Darkstorm tilted his head in confusion since Robinstar wasn't leader the last time he saw him. "I understand your confused Robinstar is the new leader of Riverclan."

Darkstorm nodded in understanding and listened to how she lost her last life. "I was bit by an adder and the poison was to much for me." Darkstorm felt fury burn inside him.

"Does anyone know about your lives?" Morningstar shook her had as she rested her head on her paws. "Your the first cat I've told and I figured Maplenose knows about my lives."

He sighed and looked around before dipping his head and left the den. Once he was out of the den he padded away and began to assign the patrols.

Once the patrols were assigned Darkstorm checked on the healing cats. Once he got to the medicine den he saw Raccoonclaw sleeping peacefully.

Darkstorm felt relief for the first time in days. Thank starclan his brother is ok he would've actually gone to war with starclan if they took his brother.

After checking on the other cats to make sure they were ok Darkstorm walked out of the medicine den to see Beetleleap followed by Frostfury and Woodheart.

Beetleleap walked over to him to explain how patrol went. "We managed to get the twoleg rubbish out of the river thanks to a riverclan patrol."

Darkstorm nodded with approval. "But did you manage to catch prey?" Frostfury sighed in exhaustion as Beetleleap went on. "We did and it's healthy but a lot of prey is still poisoned."

Darkstorm growled in disappointment and walked away before looking over his shoulder. " tell Lemurstorm and Wolftail they need to go on a hunting patrol."

Beetleleap nodded and went over to the warrior's den while Frostfury and Woodheart went to go drop off their prey on the fresh-kill pile.

Darkstorm left the camp to go hunt. After walking around for few moments he heard shuffling coming from the bush and went into the hunters crouch.

Once the movements stopped Darkstorm leaped and landed on solid ground. Darkstorm opened his mouth to taste the air and noticed no prey scent.

He soon heard the lapping of water and saw it was the river. Darkstorm padded over to it and looked at it. He studied the slow waves of it and stared at his reflection.

He was about to leave but he saw a weird movement in the water. Curious Darkstorm walked back to it and went back to looking. He saw red in the water and froze when he felt someone behind him.

He quickly turned around and saw the red fur of Bloodstream. Darkstorm backed away in fear and felt his back paws drop. The water lapped at his paws as he shivered in fear.

Bloodstream walked towards him slowly the bright gleam in her eyes signified vengeance. Darkstorm held onto the ground with his claws determined to not fall into the water.

Bloodstream was soon in front of him as she lowered herself to his level. "I'll make sure your leader, I want my revenge give it up."

Darkstorm hulled himself up but Bloodstream placed her claws into his paws digging into the flesh. "I don't want to do this anymore. I just wanted to be a warrior."

Bloodstream sneered as she got closer to the point their noses were touching. "I'll do whats best for me not you but for me." Darkstorm watched in horror as her eyes glowed.

He soon felt pain flow through his body as Bloodstream's words echoed around him. He soon saw the Riverclan camp flash through his eyes.

Darkstorm looked up and saw a pale brown tabby look at his with anger. He shook his head as he kept holding onto the ground. His grip slipped and he was soon in the water.

Darkstorm began to panic as water entered his lungs and his paws failed to get him back to the surface. A soft nudge on his side made him freeze and leap back.

Stretching out his claws he felt his paws land on something. Quickly he got tackled to the ground with a soft thud and the sound of shock whispers entered his ears.

He swiftly gathering his consciousness and saw Wolftail with her ears down. Darkstorm smelled blood and saw the nick on her ear. He shrunk as he looked at his paws.

Wolftail's blood soaked his paw fear crashing through him. 'What has he done?'
