Tears streaming from her eyes, Phoenixfeather backed into camp, fur bristling. Instead of the usual mouse or budgie clutched in her mouth when she came back to camp, this time she had a cat. Roughpelt, to be exact - and she was dead.
Dragging the elder she -cat all the way into the main clearing, Phoenixfeather sat back, spitting clumps of fur out of her mouth. She took a few more steps away from the body, trembling slightly from what she just did.
"Owltalon!!" she called, her gaze never leaving Roughpelt. |

(She's not an elder.)
"Oh no!" Owltalon yowled. "Nightstone!" he said towards the Medicine Cat's Den.
Falconstar emerged from his den and stared at Roughpelt's body. He padded up and scented it. "ReefClan," he hissed angrily.
Eaglekit and Hawkkit squealed and spun around, hiding in the Nursery. Thunderpaw padded out of the apprentice den, her eyes fixed on Roughpelt. "Something is going on," she hissed.

Butterflypaw emerged from the apprentice den not long after Thunderpaw."What's going on?" she asked cluelessly. Then she noticed Roughpelt, and let a small squeak of surprise escape her lips.

"That's two cats dead!" Falconstar yowled, fury burning in his eyes. "There must be an alliance between ShadeClan and ReefClan- our warriors don't just get randomly killed on our territory!"

ReefClan and ShadeClan? It seemed slightly unlikely that the two had teamed up on StormClan. Phoenixfeather looked worried, but didn't speak up against Falconstar's assumption. There wasn't any proof that ReefClan had killed anyone, and yet... Phoenixfeather took one last long look at Roughpelt's mangled body. Was Falconstar right to assume that it had been ReefClan and not anyone else? She said nothing, but could still not help that feeling..
[Isn't anyone else in StormClan?] |

Nightstone froze, his mouth wide open. His eyes were wide with grief and shock and all he could do was dig his nose into his sister's fur...dampening the she-cat's fur.
And now, he had truly lost everything he had ever known as a kit...

Eaglekit looked at Roughpelt, peering at her. "Nightstone," she said quietly. "She was sick. Look at her mouth." And surely enough, her tongue was an unhealthy greenish gray.

Specklepaw came on scene his eyes sad having heard just a moment ago about Roughpelt. He sniffed her body and nodded in agreement with his father. "She does smell of Reefclan." He said his ears folding back just now realizing. Reefclan. Surely his true father's clan wouldn't have done this. But it did carry their scent no doubt. He looked sadly at Eaglekit. "You're right Eaglekit, but someone's been tearing into her. See her sides too, ripped to shreads." He said with a lump forming in his throat. What was happening, that was two warriors in not even an hour. What would be next?!

"She doesn't have a tail anymore!" gasped Thunderpaw in horror. "Fiends!"
Falconstar looked determined. "We must consult with Flamestar. Dreampaw, Specklepaw, Owltalon and Nightstone are to come with me. The rest of you patrol the territory and report any other Clan scent to me."
(Dreampaw, Specklepaw, Owltalon and Nightstone to: .t.r.o.u.b.l.e.)

But Nightstone knew. He knew.
He lost all his family, and worse, he was medicine cat. Oh, what a medicine cat he was, just as she said herself. Roughpelt....
