Silverflame's Fall

Prologue

"You don't bring dogs into camp!" Snarled Silvermist standing protectively next to Lizardblaze.

"I know what I'm doing, don't worry Silvermist," growled Hazelclaw.

"It's not you I'm worried about." Huff the medicine cat. Her gaze pointed towards the warrior's den. Where Creamfrost was padding out. His eyes flashed in alarm as he saw the dogs. He snarled and bolted forward.

"No! Creamfrost stop!" Hazelclaw yowled and charged after him as his claws dug into the dogs coats.

"I warned you!" Silvermist yowled!

Hazelclaw through Creamfrost to the ground, Silvermist rushed forward.

But Hazelclaw held her back, "he had this coming!" she spat.

"It's my duty to heal," Silvermist gasped at the tabby warrior.

"And His duty to die for being so cruel!" Argued Hazelclaw.

"Now who's the mouse brain who brought dogs into camp?" growled the silver tabby. "Mosspaw! bring me some herbs!" she called to her apprentice.

Silvermist slide around the grumpy warrior and bent over Creamfrost.

He looked up and her and chuckled weakly, "At least I won't be going to the elder's den."

"Hush, save your breath." Silvermist mewed gently.

"Don't waste your time, Silvermist. I'll be with Starclan soon."

Mosspaw hurried over to his mentor side just in time to see the light fade from Creamfrost's eyes.He dropped the herbs down and nuzzled her side. The silver she-cat licked the top of his head and nosed him in the direction of his mate, Lizardblaze. He padded over to her and comforted her for her brother's death. Silentstar dipped her head and padded into her den.

Silvermist turned her glared of hatred on to Hazelclaw. The young warrior stepped backwards in shock. "If you had let me past you, I could have saved him! If you had never threatened the safety of camp by bringing dogs here, NONE of this would have happened!" She yowled.

Hollyshade stood up nearby, "Now that's not fair, Silvermist."

The silver tabby turn her piercing blue eyes on him, "Stay out of this!"

Hazelclaw flatten her ears, "Well I'm sorry if I insulted the elder."

Mosspaw hissed at her and Lizardblaze threw her a look of deepest loathing.

Silvermist turned her head, "Let's hope I train my apprentice well because I will never heal you."

Hazelclaw's eyes flashed with anger and hatred and threw herself at the medicine cat. Startled she buckled under the weight of the warrior. The yowl of fury at exploded from Mosspaw, brought Silentstar from her den.

The Leader stepped down from her den and pulled the warrior off her friend. But it was too late, the blow to her neck was fatal. Mosspaw pushed his way to her mentor's side and pressed his muzzle into her fur.

"Mosspaw, do-do you promise to up-hold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between Clan and Clan and to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?" Coughed Silvermist.

Mosspaw's eyes watered, "I do, Silvermist."

"Then by the powers of I give you your true name as a medicine cat. Mosspaw, from this moment you will be known as Mossleaf. StarClan honors your heart." She breathed as she eyes darken.

Silvermist opened her eyes on the otherside of camp beside Lizardblaze.

"Your story isn't over yet, but your light must shine a new." A voice whispered into the wind, she nodded and and shut her eyes.
