It has been 25 moons since the battle in the last chapter. BoneClan has been recreated. Nightstar is the leader with Flameheart as her loyal deputy. The guards have been set up. Tigerstripe, Silversky, Twilightsky, and Copperfur are the current guards. The flood has happened and Snowstorm is dead. Copperfur and Nightstar were devastated, loosing their best friend and all. Copperfur doesn't talk often, he rarely gets close to cats in fear of loosing them. Tigerstripe is Copperfur's best and only friend.

The moon hung high in the sky. The stars shone down on one figure. The figure of a cat. The cat sat with it's tail curled over its paws and it's ears pricked forward. The cat looked ready. Little did he know of the other watching him.

A sharp noise, like a twig snapping came from the left, the direction of the river. The cat arose from his sitting position, still alert.

He padded quietly through the forest, keeping an eye and ear open for anything.

The rushing water was closer now. The cat padded closer, his pawsteps echoing quietly on the riverbank.

He sat down next to the river, watching the water.

Everything seemed peaceful.

Quiet.

Calm.

Just peaceful.

But peace never lasts, does it?

Suddenly, the cat felt a large weight on his back, pushing him forward.

He fell face-first into the river.

Panicking the cat tried to breathe, only to get a mouthful of water.

He attempted to roll over to get air, but something blocked him. All he caught sight of was a small brown paw.

Something was drowning him? On purpose? His mind was muddled with confusion.

No air was getting to his head. His mind was failing him, he couldn't think.

Claws began to dig into his neck, but he barely regestered it.

Again, he tried to breathe, resulting in getting more water in his lungs.

His insides felt like they were on fire. Water kept filling his lungs. His vision was turning black at the edges.

The pain in his neck got worse. He felt blood drip slowly down his neck.

Yet again, he tried to breathe. Water greeted him, what a surprise. His vision got darker and darker.

The last thing he heard was a familiar voice he couldn't put a name to.

"I am sorry, Copperfur."

He didn't even have time to question it before the darkness finally consumed his vision.

Aand RIP Copperfur! Sorry for short chapters and slow updates on this book!
