It's wrong, but she is mine! (Jayfeather X Female Reader)

Chapter 23

"Hollyleaf, calm down, talk to me. What happened?" Y/W/N asked, looking at her friends terrified expression.

Hollyleaf glances back at where she had come from "It's easier if you see for yourself, come on!" She said frantically, darting back through the bush, barely giving Y/W/N time to follow.

Y/W/N quickly darted through as well and followed Hollyleaf, wondering what was terrifying the other warrior. Hollyleaf led her near the Windclan border and stopped.

Y/W/N looked past Hollyleaf and was instantly horrified. She could see the grey pelt of Ashfur, and looked at his lifeless eyes and the blood on the rocks.

"What happened?!? How is Ashfur dead?!?" Y/W/N asked, looking between her clanmate and Ashfurs body.

"I confronted Ashfur about the night of the fire, and how he was willing to kill me, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather. He started talking about going to reveal it to the clan, so I charged at him..... Then he slipped and his head hit the rocks, and he died!"

Y/W/N couldn't believe what she was hearing. As much as she hates Ashfur for that night, she didn't think Hollyleaf would end up killing the grey furred warrior.

"Alright, look, I don't know what we'd be able to convince the clan of that...." Y/W/N said, trembling a little bit. "But maybe..... If we push his body into the river.... and clean all evidence here...... Maybe we can make it look like a rogue or something killed him?"

Hollyleaf nodded, and immediately padded over to Ashfurs body. Y/W/N took a moment, as she couldn't believe she was about to help a clanmate hide the murder of another clanmate, but she joined Hollyleaf and the two she-cats pushed Ashfur into the river and watched the current carry him downstream.

The warriors then spent all night cleaning the murder scene before returning to camp. Luckily it was supposed to be Hollyleaf on guard duty, which is how she noticed Ashfur having left in the first place, so Y/W/N didn't have to try to sneak past a different cat to get in.

Y/W/N carefully laid back in her nest, but her heart was pounding. What if the plan didn't work? What if someone still figured out that Hollyleaf killed Ashfur, and that Y/W/N helped hide it?

Worst of all, she didn't know how to hide it from Jayfeather. Her mate could read thoughts, how was Y/W/N supposed to hide the murder from him?

Y/W/N watched as the dawn patrols were selected and left, pretending to have been asleep so she hopefully wouldn't be chosen. She definitely didn't want to be in the patrol that discovered Ashfurs body, wherever it floated to.

As the patrols for sun high left, one of the cats from a dawn patrol rushed into camp, horror in their expression and Y/W/N knew what is was about.

"Ashfurs been killed!" They wailed, which quickly got the attention of everyone around. As cats gathered in shock and to question, Y/W/N hung back, terrified that she'd give something away.

Jayfeather seemed to noticed Y/W/N not going up to them and approached the she-cat. "Hey Y/W/N, you okay?" He asked worriedly, and it seemed like he was scanning her, and Y/W/N knew he was trying to read her thoughts.

"Yep! I'm perfectly fine! Nothing wrong!" She said, and tried to think of nothing, just the commotion happening in the camp.

Jayfeather scanned Y/W/N for a little longer before sighing "You can talk to me, you know? Whatever is bothering you, okay?"

Y/W/N nodded, though she knew she could never share the fact she helped hide a body with anyone, not even Jayfeather. "I know, and I'm fine..."

Jayfeather, even though he still didn't look convinced, sighed again. "Alright, just come to me if you feel like you have something to get off your chest" He said and headed over to the commotion.
