The Beginning: Book 1- Starting Over

Chapter 6

The air was cold that night. Owlstride slept close to Wingflight. Her body making his feel warm and cozy.
   "What happened!" I yowled. Wingflight was choking and coughing. She passed out and started to sneeze and cough in her dream. " I'm so sorry, Owlstride, but Wingflight has black cough. That's the deadliest sickness there has ever been!" I started wailing like a kit. My mate would die, and it would be all my fault! Birdflight tried to comfort me but I slid away through the gorse and towards twoleg- place. "Why now! Why me!" I wailed. "This is mouse-dung!" I scowled. Black cough spread quickly! I thought. If Wingflight died, I'd die with her! Everyday someone either dies or gets sick! I'm sick of it. We need to do something! I thought. I soon saw Bluefeather and Herbpaw coming close to me. " Hey, Owlstride!" Herbpaw meowed. "Have you heard what's happened in our clan?" I shake my head no " Hawkstar killed Sharpclaw!" I couldn't believe it! " He did?" "Yeah! I'm scared! Can we live with you?" I say no and he dips his head in goodbye. "Actually, sure why not!" Really?" "Yeah, I'll bring you to Rabbitstar right now!" "Yay!"
   "No!" Rabbitstar snarled. "They're RageClan cats! They'll always be RageClan cats! End of discussion!" She flicked her tail and we skidded out of her den. "I'm so sorry, Herbpaw. I thought she would!" "It's ok." He mewed through tiny wails.
   I walked them to they end of our border and let them go. They said their goodbyes and fled through the mountains. I go home in silence. I walk through the gorse of our camp. I head to Birdflight's den and sleep near Wingflight. "I'm so sorry this happened to you! I miss you! Please get better." I prey to Silverpelt! Silverpelt, please, help Wingflight. She's the love of my life and the only one I will ever love! Please help her! I fell asleep late that night. The air was cold and I could see my breath. I told myself that she would survive. Why wouldn't She get better? He asked himself. 
    Then next morning, Owlstride went to fetch some fresh-kill for him and Wingflight. She was barely awake so he thought it would be good to leave the fresh-kill next to her head. It would help if she could smell it so she'd wake up and have a few bites. I grabbed a crow for Wingflight, and a adder for me. I went on the morning patrol with Volehair and Penguinwing. No apprentices came because it was dangerous. Also, we needed some cats to guard camp from Hawkstar and BloodClan.
   The day was here, it's leaf-bare!
