Sunpaw scampered back into camp dragging a giant rabbit as big as her.
My first catch!
She thought as she dragged in onto the fresh-kill pile. The golden apprentice padded towards the Elder den to see if Vixenfoot, Nettlecloud, Voleheart, or Timberpelt wanted it. When she got in a strong rotting smell hit her nose as she looked around the den. It was so dark in there she had no idea where she was going. She tripped over something and realized it was Timberfur.
"Sorry Timberfur!" She meowed. Sunpaw realized he wasn't moving "Timberfur? Come on you have to wake up!" He laid still. "Icewhisker! Sagepaw!" Sunpaw yowld running out of the den. "There's something wrong with Timberfur!" Nettlecloud, Vixenfoot, and Voleheart laid on the SunRocks flicking their tails. Nettlecloud sat up.
"Timberfur?" The dappled elder asked.
"Yes! He's not waking up!" Sunpaw cried.
"What's going on?" Applepaw approached with a clump of moss in his mouth.
"Timberfur isn't waking!" Wailed Nettlecloud "Not my mate! Not my mate!" She whimpered.
Icewhisker's fluffy silver pelt darted into the Elder Den. A few minutes later her small brown and white tortoiseshell apprentice followed her. Cherrypaw walked next to Applepaw.
"What's going on?" She questioned her eyes hardened with concern.
"There's something wrong with Timberfur." Applepaw responded. Icewhisker came out of the den a few minutes later. Sagepaw appeared next to her.
"Sagepaw, fetch Skystar." Icewhisker whispered to apprentice.
"Okay." Breathed Sagepaw. The small she cat dashed away and ran into the base of the tree.
"All cats who can catch their own prey, meet under SkyTree for a meeting!" Yowled Skystar. The clan slowly gathered under the tree. Streamsplash and Leafwing dropped their prey into the pile. Then sat down next to Sunpaw and Applepaw.
"I wonder what this will be about." Muttered Flamepaw from behind them.
"I have an announcement! Sagepaw has just told me that Timberfur has passed away there will be a vigil tonight!" Nettlecloud ran forward wailing.
"No he can't be dead!" She collapsed to the ground wailing. Leafwing padded forward and wrapped his tail around his mother.
"It's okay..." He whispered as Nettlecloud continued wailing.
"Poor Nettlecloud," Stonestream muttered behind Sunpaw.
