.d.e.a.t.h.

[Burning Falcon]

Tigerstripe lurked in the trees, eyeing the StormClan deputy. There was nobody else in the Main Clearing. Soaring forward, she sliced through Leopardclaw's throat and darted off quickly, leaving the deputy dieing and writhing....

Falconstar returned from hunting and the smell of blood was fresh in the air. He blinked and looked around, dropping his budgie fresh-kill. There, by the base of Yowlbush, was Leopardclaw, her throat torn open.

[OOC: Um, that was a bit of a powerplay, but that's okay. She was gonna die anyways.. xD]

Phoenixfeather walked into the clearing after Falconstar, a fat mouse clutched in her teeth. Scenting the smell of fresh blood, she gave a quick look around the clearing, noticing with horror the dead StormClan deputy. Her mouth fell open, and the mouse she had caught fell to the ground.

[Burning Falcon]

Owltalon padded in after his mate. Seeing how abruptly she dropped the prey, he asked, "Pheonixfeather, whats wro- Leopardclaw!"

He darted over to his mentor, scenting her neck. He turned around, anger blazing in his eyes. "Who did this?!" he exclaimed.

Falconstar hissed, "Calm down, Owltalon! She walks with the ranks of StarClan now..."

[Flamestar]

Dreampaw sprinted over, smelling the blood. "What happ-" he saw Leopardclaw, dead. "Leopardclaw!" he yowled. He started sniffing around, trying to catch the scent of the cat who had done it.

((Should he catch Tigerstripe's scent?))

[Burning Falcon]

(Sure, but he shouldn't be able to identify it as Tigerstripe, only as a ShadeClan cat.)

Owltalon dug his claws into the dirt, staring at Leopardclaw, sadness and anger in his eyes all at once. "I will claw their eyes out! I shall rip their hearts out and feed it to the crocodiles!"

"Now who am I to make deputy?" Falconstar sighed.

The gray tabby warrior paused a moment. "What's that in her mouth?"

Falconstar shoved Owltalon out of the way and gazed in awe. "That's an owl talon, if I'm not mistaken."

[Flamestar]

Dreampaw shook with excitement. "I found a scent!" he yowled. He took another sniff. "It's- it smells a bit like ShadeClan."

[Breezy]

Phoenixfeather padded closer to the deputy's body, drawing to a halt next to Owltalon. She pressed her flank to his reassuringly, but was at a loss for what to say as she looked on the scene with horror.

[Burning Falcon]

"SHADECLAN?!" hissed Owltalon in anger, fires lighting in his eyes. "I WILL KILL THEM!"

"Calm down, Owltalon," Falconstar nodded. "I will ask Wolfstar about it."

"Oh no!" Eaglekit gasped, Hawkkit at her side.

Thunderpaw was watching from the apprentice den, her eyes hard.

Specklepaw said nothing he just satin awe at the sight and looked at his brother. Sniffing the air as he walked to Dreampaw's side he nodded in agreement. "It kind-a smells like Shadeclan, yeah." He agreed his brow furrowing. Who had done this?

[Burning Falcon]

Falconstar sighed. "I will consult StarClan. Specklepaw, Dreampaw, Thunderpaw, Butterflypaw and Wildpaw will acompany me."

Roughpelt heard Falconstar's words. "Maybe I should come too, to make sure the apprentices dont't get in trouble?"

"That will not be neccesary," Falconstar hissed coldly. Roughpelt looked hurt.

Owltalon didn't say anything. He leaned against Pheonixfeather.

[Flamestar]

Dreampaw felt a tad of excitement. He was going to the Moonstone! But his horror wiped most of his excitment away. "Something doesn't seem right," he muttered to himself. The scent seemed to have a different Clan scent, too-one he had never smelled.

[Inkspell]

Specklepaw's fur bristled slightly, not angrily but happily. He almost forgot the whole ordeal but he was blasted back into reality when he blinked and looked over to Leopardclaw's mangled body.

[Burning Falcon]

(Tigerstripe?)
