The four cats meet up the next morning near Sunningbeach. "So, everyone ready?" Appletail asked. "Yep." Podzol said. Blacklclaw nodded. "Then let's go." Flamestrike said, and the four started going to the Moongarden. The day was uneventful except for a run-in with a dog at noon. At night, Blackclaw spoke. "I'm getting tired. We should make camp." "Sounds good to me. Maybe those bushes?" Appletail suggested, pointing to a patch of bushes. "Sure." Flamestrike said.
They made camp and went to sleep. They all found themselves in a field. "What the...?" Flamestrike said as a StarClan cat walked up to him. "StarClan visited me again?" Flamestrike asked. "Yep. We visited all of you." The StarClan cat points to the other cats. Flamestrike turned and saw them. "We're all here, then." He said. "It seems like it." Blackclaw replied. "Wait, Podzol, how did you get here?" Flamestrike asked. "I don't know." He responded. "Anyway, I'm Cloudspirit. Let's get right into why you're here. Dustclaw?" He called.
Another StarClan cat, Dustclaw, walked up. "You want answers as to who killed Dustclaw, right?" Cloudspirit asked. "Yes." Appletail said. "Very well. The killer was Blackclaw." He said. "Blackclaw, how could you?" Flamestrike said. "Why, Blackclaw?" Podzol said. Dustclaw walked over. "It's up to me now to decide what will happen to you. Normally, I would let you live, but as you were working with the Dark Forest, I'm afraid I can't do that." He said before suddenly lunging at Blackclaw and clawing her neck, causing a massive wound and killing her instantly. "Blackclaw!" Flamestrike ran over. "As for the rest of you..." He turned around. "Go back to your camps." He said as the StarClan cats faded away.
Flamestrike woke up to Appletail crying over Blackclaw's body. "Why did you have to die?
Why?" Appletail said through tears. Flamestrike walked over. "She was with the Dark Forest. I don't like it, but it was sadly necessary." "Hey what's that supposed to mean!?" Blackclaw-now a spirit-suddenly appears behind Flamestrike. "Gah!" Flamestrike jumps and sees spirit Blackclaw. "B-BLACKCLAW!?" He says, wide-eyed at her sudden appearence. "It's me." She purred. "Blackclaw, what are you doing here!?" Appletail said, Podzol and her walking over to her.
"Oh, come on! Am I not allowed to hang out with you guys anymore?" She said, sounding sad. "Wha-IS THAT IT!?" Podzol said. "Yep!" Blackclaw purred. "Well... let's go home." Appletail said. "Appletail, I WILL haunt you forever if you don't bury me." Blackclaw said. "Blackclaw, you would do it anyway." Flamestrike purred. "Shh...." Blackclaw said, laughing. "Well, let's bury the body." Flamestrike said. They made a grave and buried her in it. "She was a great cat... I'll miss her." Blackclaw said, sounding sad. "Are you fucking kidding me? Do I need to put up with this for the rest of my life?" Flamestrike purred. "...Maybe? Who knows." Blackclaw said.
"I'm going to talk to my mate, Scorchfur. Flamestrike, I want to give my kits to you and Cinder." Blackclaw said. Flamestrike thinks before responding. "I'm sorry, but five kits in one go is too much for Cinder and I to really handle." He responds, sad he can't help her out. "Appletail?" Blackclaw asked. "I can, since Flamestrike can't." Appletail responded. "Even?" Podzol butted in. "Podzol, no. Bad Podzol. Bad." Flamestrike says, purring. "Well, I'll talk to Scorchfur about it. I'll walk with you guys a bit though before I do." Blackclaw said. "Cold feet?" Flamestrike raised an eyebrow. "No, just don't want to right now." Blackclaw said. "Blackclaw, that is THE definition of cold feet right there." Podzol purred. "Well, lets go back before we waste any more time." Flamestrike said, and they went on their way.
