Warriors: silent forest: broken clan

Chapter 3

Hawkstorm had rushed off to tell oakstar about the death of thunderclan's medicine cat. Willowstar has gone to check lilyfire's body to tell how she died. Aspenpaw went with lynxshadow to talk to Willowstar.

"She was murdered." Willowstar explained. "I want every cat in the clan to bite a leaf so I ca-" oakstars yowl cut her off.

"Lilyfire is dead!" He announced.

"And how did she die?" Willowstar snarled at oakstar. "Mind if I get you to bite into a leaf to compare the marks?"

Oakstar just stared at the silver she-cat. "I killed lilyfire. She disappointed me by becoming a medicine cat. How dare a member of my kin be so pathetically weak!" Lynxshadow let out a gasp. "And maybe, you should join her, Willowstar!" Oakstar leapt down from the highrock and padded towards her. Lynxshadow leapt infront of Willowstar, kicking up dust as she did.

"I will not allow you to kill another cat I care about!" She growled at her mate.

"Is My own mate and deputy betraying me now? What a shame." Oakstar took a swing at the she-cats face. Lynxshadow seemed stunned for a moment, but soon tackled Oakstar and started grappling with him.

"Is anyone going to help their deputy?" Willowstar asked. No one responded. "What about you?" She asked aspenpaw "I'm assuming she's your mentor?"

Aspenpaw nodded. "I um... was only named today, actually. I don't know any fighting moves."

After a moment, the battling had stopped, and lynxshadows tail was almost hanging off. Willowstar stepped in. "That's enough! Go to the medicine den!" She growled at lynxshadow. "As for you! You don't deserve to be served by a medicine cat, seeing as you killed thunderclan's." The two she-cats padded into the medicine den, aspenpaw following close behind. Lynxshadow called for two warriors to guard the den from Oakstar. "I'm going to have to rip your tail off." Willowstar started to explain.

"That's ok. It's a memory. A memory of how he betrayed us. Betrayed me. Betrayed our kits." LynxShadow answered back calmly. Willowstar started tugging at her tail, using her claws to rip it. After a hiss of pain from Lynxshadow, her tail was gone. Willowstar dug a hole and buried it.

"Hey, amberfrost, cloudeye, could you please ask two other warriors to take your place and go bury lilyfire's body. I doubt Oakstar will let you sit vigil for her." Willowstar asked the warriors. They nodded and did as told. A purple-grey she-cat walked up with three kits, along with a black and white she-cat, belly large with kits.

"Willowstar? We were wondering if we could join you. We don't feel safe with kits here anymore." Willowstar nodded. "Thank you! I'm greyfeather, this is smallkit, shellkit and plumkit and this is mousetail." The silver she-cat introduced the five of them. 

What will happen to thunderclan now? Aspenpaw wondered.

"I've always had a suspicion that oakstar killed eaglestar and birchfrost. I've tried asking them in my dreams before, but birchfrost refuses to speak, and eaglestar is refusing to tell me, just because birchfrost isn't talking." Lynxshadow looked at her, awe in her eyes.

"B-birchfrost was m-my mate." A tear ran down her face. "My mate before oakstar killed him!" Aspenpaw stared at her, worry in her eyes.

What will happen to me and sparrowpaw?
