SQUIRRELFLIGHT'S POV:
"The scent trail leads this way!" Mewed Whitewing. Squirrelflight padded on. Her paws ached as much as her heart did. She had lost what she thought she'd never loose. Suddenly, a yowl sounded from the back of the patrol. "Dovewing?" Meowed Whitewing. "Windclan!" Dovewing shot off through the brambles.
"We should follow her..." Mewed Whitewing. Foxleap nodded and dashed after her. Squirrelflight watched as Whitewing bounced off. Honestly, this patrol was organised to find Brambleclaw, not to chase Windclan, I'll go alone! Thought Squirrelflight. She stormed along the endless scent trail. If he's crossed any borders- I'm going to kill him! Suddenly, she picked up another scent...Hollyleaf? She was never part of the patrol! Squirrelflight picked up her pace, following the scent. She brushed through some ferns. There was Hollyleaf. Brambleclaw thrashed wildly, pinned under Hollyleaf's weight. Squirrelflight kept down, ducking behind a bramble bush. "You call yourself a leader? You'll NEVER be a leader!" Snarled Hollyleaf. Squirrelflight watched in horror as Hollyleaf raked her claws up the dark tabby tom's throat, lifting his head upwards. He struggled to get free, as Hollyleaf stood, emotionless. Squirrelflight heard a squeak. She jumped in surprise, only to be noticed by Hollyleaf. "Were you spying on me?" Snarled Hollyleaf. Squirrelflight thought fast. "H-Hollyleaf, what are you doing?" She stammered.
"Starting my revenge. Now, I will drag you back to camp, and you WILL chose ME as your successor. Then you will die for me so i can take over Thunderclan. Got it?" Laughed Hollyleaf. Brambleclaw batted her face with his paws, still dangling by the throat on Hollyleaf's unsheathed claws. "Never!" He spat.
"Oh. Ok. Then your little 'windclan patrol' won't come back in one piece." Hollyleaf flicked her tail towards the clearing, where snarling dogs surrounded the helpless patrol. "Get off Hollyleaf!" Spat Brambleclaw.
"Oh. If that's how your going to be, be that way." She mewed, dropping him and pinning him down with her back leg. Brambleclaw looked too weakened to escape. Hollyleaf's really strong, thought Squirrelflight. Suddenly she felt jaws clamp her neck. Hollyleaf! Every muscle in her body suddenly ached in tiredness, she made no attempt to run or escape. She just hang limp in Hollyleaf's jaws. "Squirrelflight!" Wailed Brambleclaw. "Hollyleaf! Stop! I'll do it!"
Hollyleaf smirked darkly. "Very well." She laughed as she rip his throat open.
"No! Hollyleaf! Why?" Wailed Squirrelflight.
"I've been planning this ever since you lied to us about being your kits! I've been waiting for Firestar to lose that last life of his! Haha!"
"But what has Brambleclaw done wrong?" Moaned Squirrelflight.
"He was born, my friend, he was born." Squirrelflight heard Brambleclaw gasping as the Black she-cat spoke.
"Fine! That's fine Hollyleaf! Go take your place as leader! You'll never even manage!" Spat Squirrelflight. She grabbed Brambleclaw by the scruff and bounded off. She lay Brambleclaw's body in the shade of a tree and began to walk off. "i'm so sorry." she whispered. Who else would die at the paws of Hollyleaf?
