Darkclaw watched Mothpaw from where he perched in the high branches of a tree. The young apprentice was stalking something and he followed her as silently as he could. He growled softly when he remembered how Marigoldpetal had accused him of pushing the younger she-cat and her brother too hard. Well now he was going to show the foolish warrior what happened when you didn't train enough.

He smirked when Mothpaw paused, scenting the air for whatever she had been tracking. Without a second thought he dropped down on the apprentice, ending her surprised squeal soon after it had left her muzzle. The brown tabby glanced down at the body of his brother's kit. He snorted softly before walking off to clear himself of any evidance of his crime. "Let one of them find her," he meowed. "It would serve them right."

Icestorm had been the one to take his apprentice out hunting. But he had split the two cat hunting party temporarily as he went to try and chase down a young rabbit he'd scented. He had managed to catch it without much difficulty, but now he had lost track of his apprentice. Tucking his rabbit securely among the roots of a nearby tree, he went to look for Mothpaw. "I only left her for a moment, where could she have gotten off to?" he muttered irritably. He opened his jaws to taste the air for any sign of his apprentice and recoiled at the sharp scent of cat blood. Instantly, worry replaced his annoyance and he flashed through the forest towards where the smell was coming from. The ginger and white warrior stopped in his tracks when he came across the body of his apprentice and he could have sworn his heart stopped for a moment. It was a mentor's job to keep their apprentice safe. How could this happen? Shock glued his paws to the forest floor for a bit longer before he finally seemed to remember he could move. He approached Mothpaw's body slowly and bent down to give it a sniff and a nudge as if she might wake up. With a sigh, he gently grabbed the young cat's scruff and started back towards camp.

Once he made it back, he carefully set his apprentice's body down in the middle of camp before racing towards the leader's den. "Stormstar!" he called, his tail lashing behind him. "Stormstar, Mothpaw's dead."

Stormstar blinked when Icestorm said that Mothpaw was dead. She slowly crept from her den and stared at the apprentice's body. "Was there any clues about who could have done this?" she asked.

Marigoldpetal shot from the warriors' den when she noticed that Icestorm was carrying something that looked too much like Mothpaw. She nudged the apprentice her eyes wide with disbelief. "Who would do such a thing to such a young cat?" she mewed, mostly to herself.

Icestorm stared at Mothpaw for a moment before shaking his head. "I'm sorry, Stormstar, I didn't notice. Shock," he muttered. His ears were flat against his head when he noticed Marigoldpetal. The feeling that he'd failed as a mentor hung heavy on his shoulder.

Stonewhisker slowly made his way forward until he was standing next to Marigoldpetal. "How could this happen?" he asked softly.

Dayshimmer trotted forward with rosemary leaves clamped in her jaws. She hated doing such a thing for such a young cat. After she was done rubbing down Mothpaw's fur with the rosemary she gently aranged the young she-cat's paws. "There," she meowed softly.

Stormstar sighed softly, her tail twitching. "I see," she meowed, glancing over to where Ripplepaw was standing with his head tilted.

Darkclaw made his way into camp and glanced around. "What did I miss?" he asked, smirking inwardly when he saw how upset Marigoldpetal looked.

Stonewhisker looked up at his younger brother sadly. "Mothpaw's been killed," he meowed. He lowered his head slightly to press his nose against Marigoldpetal's cheek. Icestorm glanced at Stormstar before slowly making his way towards Marigoldpetal. He shuffled his paws and cleared his throat for attention. "I'm sorry I let this happen," he meowed softly. "I should have been keeping a better eye on her. I only left her for a moment..." his voice trailed off and he looked down at his paws.

Marigoldpetal glanced up at Icestorm and smiled weakly. "It's not your fault," she meowed. "You couldn't have known that this would happen." Rockpaw walked stiffly over to his sister and nudged her. "She'll get up right?" he asked softly.

Darkclaw blinked and glanced at Mothpaw's body before bowing his head. "That's too bad," he meowed. "She would have made a fine warrior."

Ripplepaw followed his brother over to his parents and sister. "She'll be okay right? After all Dayshimmer gave her some plants."

Stonewhisker looked down at his sons and gave a sad sigh. "I'm afraid not," he meowed. "All Dayshimmer can do is make her fur look sleek so she can be presented to StarClan," he meowed.

"Stormstar will present her to StarClan?" Ripplepaw asked, his eyes wide.

"But we were just practicing battle moves earlier," Rockpaw meowed. "She can't have gone to StarClan yet!"

Stonewhisker nodded slightly. "Whether Stormstar says anything or not, there will be cats waiting for her in StarClan," he meowed. He then looked to Rockpaw. "I'm afraid it's true though."
