Hawkflower didn't just look like she was being brave, she felt it too. Birdriver was outnumbered. Literally. Hawkflower, Minnowfeather, Flossy, Mossy, Flame, Ashpaw, and Lightningpaw began with some basic moves. The seven cats began to circle around Birdriver. Even though she could attack them with one leap, Birdriver didn't.

Suddenly Lightningpaw fainted. It must have been too much for him, he had done this previously when battle training. He just couldn't stand battling. 

The other six cats turned around to look at Lightningpaw, and when they looked back....

Birdriver was gone. 

"You should have checked if there were any trees above me before circling me. I know Lightningpaw, always fainting before battles." Birdriver laughed. 

Flamespark was still lying in the corner., fighting for his life and suffering silently. He gained consciousness for moment. He opened his eyes and looked at Hawkflower solemnly. His eyes were bleeding and so was his nose. He had a deep wound on his flank and another wound where his tail was. His look told Hawkflower that he didn't have much time left, and that he had accepted his fate. But that moment of consciousness was over, and his time might be over also, soon. 

"Oh, you are too weak to fight me? I guess i will just finish him off then. Will you challenge me?" Birdriver said, in a sarcastic, fake- sympathetic voice. 

"YOU BATBLIND IDIOT!" Hawkflower screeched, and went in for the kill. Minnowfeather stopped her in her tracks. "You will not pass unless you accept my assistance."

Hawkflower nodded, and together they stalked to the bush in which Birdriver was resting. Hawkflower flicked her tail, signaling to pounce.  

"NOW!"

They leaped into the bush, but Birdriver wasn't there.  

"Bye bye FLAMESPARK!" Birdriver had a single claw out, ready to slice into Flamespark's neck. Birdriver had blood on her paws, tail, and all over her, especially on her claws and jaw. 

Hawkflower, was so scared, and so fearful, that she was incapable of moving. 

Flamespark, gathered up all of the energy that remained in himself, to speak to Hawkflower. 

"Don't fight over me... I knew is was going to die......... Leave Birdriver, let her do what she has to........"

Birdriver gave Hawkflower an evil smile, and cut his neck open.

Flamespark spluttered. You could not see his coat if you tried, as it was dyed with blood. "I... I can't l...li.... live, live any l... longer....... "

"I love you, H......Haw....Hawkfl....Hawkflower, a...and y..ou,  M..... Mi...Minnowfeather."

And so, Flamespark drew his last, final breath. 

"FLAMESPARK!" Hawkflower screamed, she was in tears, blood all over her, and she was screeching, begging for his forgiveness, for his safe travels to Starclan. 

He was dead.

Never to wake up.
