A Raven's Trill, A Nights Silence

RavenClan - Spiderstar's POV

Spiderfang watched the dancing colors in the sky, the red took over the yellow
then it faded into a pink. He sighed and then heard someone clear their throat, he jumped up in fear and
spun around looking into the eyes of a beautiful she-cat.

"I didn't hear you approach," he said stifling a yawn.

"Well, you always have clouds in your brain," she purred.

She looked at him as he turned his gaze back to the sky. She the took a few paw steps towards him and then laid down next to Spiderfang. He loved the warmth of her fur as she pressed her body into his flank.  He let his thoughts then drift away but before they were lost a wail intruded the chirps of the morning birds and the calls of the frogs near the Marsh Forest.

"Spiderfang!! Spiderfang!!" He jumped up, tearing
away from his mate he saw a flash of orange fur.

"What is it, Bugheart," Spiderfang asked angry
at the newly made warrior for interrupting his thoughts.

"It....Is," Bugheart stopped talking a fell to the ground, passed out.

Spiderfang noticed that he had blood dripping off his fur and their was a long cut down his side. Fear was all he felt as he spoke to his mate.

"Help Bugheart. I will go and see what is going on."

His mate watched his tail flicker out of the camp.
Spiderfang jumped over a fallen tree  and then raced towards the border  that Bugheart, Moonshadow, and Blazestar was patrolling.  As he ran throwing water and mud in the air behind him
he then was hit with the smell of blood and death. Awful theories ran threw his mind as he raced to the scent. Once he arrived Moonshadow was bleeding  from her ear and fur was littered on the ground with blood everywhere but what caught his gaze was a body of a strong tomcat. He slowly padded towards Moonshadow and the corpse, his worst thought became real.

"Moonshadow how did this happen," he asked with a crack in his voice.

Moonshadow looked at him with her eyes dancing with sorrow and she spoke.

"DarkClan attacked us and some of the warriors caught Blazestar and they clawed and bit until he died."

Sorrow burnt Spiderfang like a fire was on his fur. Blazestar was dead and it was DarkClan's fault. Moonshadow and Spiderfang dragged Blazestar's body through the camp entrance and his clan mates all came out of their dens or stopped their conversations once his body was dropped in the middle of camp. Many warrior were walking towards Spiderfang to ask what happen but he walked away before any of them spoke. He jumped on the huge root in the center of the camp and meowed for everyone to gather.

He spoke to everyone, "I know what everyone is wondering. How did this happen? Well the truth is DarkClan ambushed Blazestar's patrol. This was no accident but cold murder. Blazestar died the way of a warrior. He died with no fear, he will never be forgotten and will be honored until RavenClan is no longer a clan but a story. I will never replace Blazestar he was a father to some and a friend to all. I am proud to become leader of RavenClan and will serve this clan well with all my lifes."

Cheers spread through the clan like a wild fire and then a voice was heard that was not anyone but his mate "Spiderstar." Others followed after soon the whole clan was chanting.

Spiderfang loved the chants of his new name he is now Spiderstar. His mate and her apprentice would make the journey to Fallen Star Pool to receive his 9 lives.
