Panting and bleeding, the young warrior ignored the fox now doing her hardest to make ribbons of the shecat's belly, and she lunged for the fox now attacking her leader and the small apprentice. Tearing at it with everything she had, ignoring the fangs against her back and claws scathing through her pelt as the female continued to attack at her in spite of her best attempts to fend her off. Limping heavily, Duskpetal landed hard after an especially brutal blow to her head. Leaving her izzy and struggling for air as the strike had winded her but she continued all the same. Fighting not only for her life but her clanmates.

Cascadefrost gripped tightly to the female fox's back, feeling her claws becoming entangled in bright red fur, when she heard a howl of terror. Turning, she saw the male fox's jaws snapping mere mouselengths from Rushpaw's face, and that Moss-star was on the other side. No doubt, if she saved one of the cats, the fox would turn on the other. Logic dictated that her clan leader carried importance, but she couldn't leave the young apprentice to the predator's jaws. She would just have to trust that Moss-star could take care of herself. StarClan, let me be making the right choice here! She prayed silently as she leaped towards the front of the cat and grabbed Rushpaw by the scruff, yanking her away from the fox's jaws at the last minute.

Rushpaw yowled in terror when Cascade frost yanked her back out of the grasps of the fox, thinking that it was the other fox that grabbed her. After realizing that it was her fellow clanmate she turned back to watch in horror as the fox quickly turned on her leader.
Moss-star did her best to hope her grip but the fox was stronger and it sank it's teeth into her back and pulled her off it's back. The old tabby writhed around in it's jaws trying desperately to free herself but the pressure only got worse as the male fox crunched down on her spine and violently shook her back and forth. The clan leader let out a screech of pain before the fox chomped down one last time, killing the old she-cat by breaking her spine.
Bleeding from bites and scratches Fallowleaf finally found her opportunity and pushed herself off the ground only to land on the head of the female fox. Clawing as harsh are she could, the warrior was able to claw the foxes eyes enough to make it cry out in pain. The fox then rolled on the the ground crushing Fallowleaf causing her to loose her grip and gasp for air. The female fox then saw it's chance to escape and quickly took it running straight for the clans border on the other side of Hare Meadow.

In the split second that Duskpetal had looked back to make sure the apprentice was ok when she'd ellicted a scream, the mere seconds of distraction had been enough to let the fox slip from her mind to kill the leader, and by the time she turned back the leader was already dead and a yowl of fury tore from her lips. Snarling she lunged once again for the now only remaining fox, tackling it with the might and anger only a warrior could have been capable of and dragged it to the ground with her. Ignoring the agony which split through her as the fox drove its claws through her underbelly, the warrior tore out its throat, ending it, but too late to have saved her leader.

"Moss-star!" Cascadefrost yowled, pain and fury building in her heart as she released Rushpaw's scruff and bounded forward, but it was too late. Moss-star's lifeless body lay still beside the fox's. The blue-gray and white she-cat closed her eyes, leaning down to bury her nose in her late leader's fur. Whatever she had thought of her leader in her old age, Cascadefrost remembered the brilliant leader she had once been. "I'm so sorry I couldn't save you..." She whispered. "May StarClan welcome you to happiness and peace..."

After finally catching her breath and watching the female fox run off Fallowleaf slowly turned to look at the rest of her clanmates. All of them were wounded, but still standing. That was untill she noticed Moss-stars body laying next to the dead foxes body. Rushing forwards she nudged the mangled lifeless body of her leader. Slowly backing away she looked to the patrol. "We must return to camp", she said her voice empty of emotion still not sure how to feel at the moment.
Rushpaws eyes were wide and all she could do was stare at Moss-stars body. That could have easily been her... Looking to Duskpetal the apprentice felt such gratitude and appreciation she didn't know how to express it. Hearing Fallowleaf she turned and nodded stepping forwards to be one of the cats to help carry their fallen leader.

Limping hard, in a lot of pain but refusing to show it aside from her pace, she leant down to nose her leader between the ears. "Rest in peace, Mossstar, may the stars guide your paws into their ranks and may you be welcomed as any leader deserves to be," she whispered, before making an attempt to pull the leader's body up by the scruff. A difficult task but the leader was old and frail, hence not all too heavy. In spite of her injuries, Duskpetal was intent on doing what she could to ensure her leader made her way home one final time. "Lets go," her voice croaked with pain of the loss.

Hearing Duskpetals order to head out, Rushpaw bent down and grabbed old of Moss-stars dusty mangled pelt and lifted up the best she could. She had never carried another cat before that was full grown and it turned out to be rather difficult. Ears flat and tail drooping with sadness of her lost leader, the young shecat looked up at the moon. It was bright and full with the stars littered around it. Inwardly she prayed that Starclan would accept Moss-star and that she would have happy hunting's and peace from now on.
Fallowleaf leaned down to help carry Moss-stars body. It was difficult getting her over the Fallen Oak but they somehow managed without dropping their fallen leader into the river. The she-cat couldn't wrap her mind around what had happened yet was about to face the clan with it and she wasn't sure how. Looking to Cascadefrost and Duskpetal for leadership Fallowleaf didn't want to be the one to tell the clan.
As the moon reached it's peak in the sky Timberfall turned his head and scanned the forest in search of the patrol. They should have returned and he was starting to worry. Now would be a good time to send a second patrol just in case they ran into the foxes. "Thornpaw, Adderflame, and Shadowbreeze it's time we sent a patrol after them to make sure they are okay", he meowed as he named the cats to join him on patrol. Padding over to the medicine cats den he peered in to see Thrushtalon. "Be prepared for the patrols to return, I have a nasty feeling that Moss-stars patrol ran into the foxes. I'm taking a patrol now to fetch them", he informed the younger tom.

Limping heavily, and doing what she could to help Fallowleaf carry the body, the black shecat finally lead her clan into camp, blood still seeped from many of her wounds, and scratches across her forehead were making her half blind with the blood trickling from them but she persisted in spite of the pain. Until she and her little patrol had succeeded in carrying their leader back into the confines of camp, where she would at the very least be allowed a burial fit for a leader, in spite of her last moons being anything but. Sitting down with a heavy pant, knees shaking with the effort of remaining upright, she looked around desperately in search of her mate or the deputy.

Just as Timerfall was returning from the medicine cats den he sat movement at the camp entrance. At first he thought that if was the patrol he just put together but he quickly recognized Duskpetal, Fallowleaf, Cascadefrost, and Rushpaw. All of which were carrying the tattered body of Moos-star. His heart stopped in his chest as he saw his leaders dead body, even though she hadn't been at her best lately she really was a great leader. "What happened?", he meowed urgently as he raced to their side.
Cavegrowl had set himself up just outside of the warriors den, but had dozed off when the patrol arrived. He jolted awake when he heard Timberfalls worried meow. It was hard to tell what happened from the distance he was at so he quickly rose to his paws and made his way quickly over to the patrol. He instantly recognized Moss-stars dead body and he then looked to his mate. Pushing forwards he pressed gently against her. "Are you okay?", he meowed in a concerned tone, as the scent of blood, fox, and dust came off of Duskpetals pelt.
Fallowleaf placed Moss-star gently on the ground when they reached the camp and watched as the clan started to gather around them. Hearing Timberfalls voice asking what happened she quickly looked to the older warriors to tell the deputy what happened. Lowering her head she pressed her muzzle into Moss-stars fur and said her goodbyes, knowing that the rest of the clan would also want to do the same. Finishing her good bye with a couple of licks to the fallen warriors shoulder out of respect she backed away, head hanging and tail drooping.
After they had come into camp and set down Moss-star Rushpaw still could not find it within her leave leave her leaders body. In her mind, Moss-star had given up her last live to save hers and the apprentice felt eternally grateful. Her glowing yellow eyes were glazed over with sadness and dull with exhaustion, but her spirit kept her alive and awake to sit vigil for the clans great leader.

Adderflame got to his paws as Timberfall called him to join his patrol. He was ready to headed out and find Moss-Star's patrol, he stopped in his tracks as he saw the other patrol come back into the camp carrying Moss-star. The brown tom's ears pinned back as he looked at Moss-star's body, even through in the pass few moons Moss-star wasn't the best to deal with but she was still their leader and she would be missed by the clan.
Creekpaw poked her head out the apprentice den hearing the commotion she figured the patrol had finally returned, the young apprentice padded over to join the clan as they gathered together only to take a step back to see Moss-star's body laying on the ground and the other members of the patrol covered in wounds. It seemed they made it back barely alive, she stared in disbelieve seeing that Moss-star was dead Creekpaw turned her attention to Rushpaw she could only image what the older apprentice was feeling.

Shaking where she stood, both from the effort of everything she had been through and the pain of the wounds littering her pretty frame. She pressed close to her mate when he came to her, more openly affectionate than she might normally have been due to the need to be reassured and loved, after everything she had been through and seen that day. She burried her nose into his fur, tears dampening her cheeks but she didn't outwardly sob like the others had for now. Too shocked to even express her pain for a few moments until she at last found her words. "The foxes found us..." She stammered, still in shock and hurting from it. Duskpetal continued as best as she could, "They ambushed us, and killed her."

(( Cavegrowl can be Beetlepaws mentor and @stormpetal would you mind if Duskpetal was Creekpaws mentor. ))
Timberfalls tail began to lash back and forth as he listened to Duskpetals words. "Are they still here in the territory? Did they follow you?", he pressed quickly needing to know if the clan was in any immediate danger. The last thing they needed was for the foxes to have followed the patrol back to the camp and attack the weaker clan members. Seeing Creekpaw join the growing crowd the deputy beckoned for the apprentice to come to him. "Quick go get Thrushtalon and tell him that the patrol is back and they are severely wounded", he ordered to the apprentice and then turned his focus back to Duskpetal waiting for her answer.
As Fallowleaf waited for Timberfalls instructions about what to do she slowly began to feel light headed from the loss of blood from her wounds. Sitting down next to Adderflame the mottled brown red, and cream warrior did her best to stay conscious. However the she-cat had lost too much blood and suddenly everything faded to black and she crumpled to the ground awkwardly. She wasn't dead, Fallowleaf had just simply lost consciousness due to her injuries and the energy she exerted from having to carry back Moss-star.

(it'll be revealed she's pregnant hopefully today when the med.cat looks over her? but sure)
Shaking her head, forcing herself to remain upright and not look as hurt and tired as she was feeling in her heart, she relied heavily on her mate to help her keep on her paws otherwise it appeared she would have fallen down and might well have not been able to get up again. "One is dead," she meowed unsheathing her claws as she remembered snapping the foul creature's throat, if only she'd managed to do it earlier her leader might well still have been alive. The thought caused her to cast her gaze down at her bloodied paws. "The other ran off," she explained quietly. Feeling guilty all of a sudden that she hadn't at least attempted to chase after the second fox and end its life once and for all.

Creekpaw noticed Timberfall call her over and nodded to him before padding off to the medicine cat's den to fetch Thrushtalon just as the older tom instructed. Creekpaw looked into the den searching for Thrushtalon. "Thrushtalon, come quickly. The patrol they went after the foxes are back and everyone is wounded." She meowed padding farther into the den hoping that she could help Thrushtalon carry some herbs that he needed to heal the wounded.
Adderflame watched Fallowleaf fall to the ground the tom himself begin to panic, they had already lost their leader to the fox and he didn't want to see anyone dying today. The brown tom bent down and started licking clean Fallowleaf's wounds, he knew this only do little help but it would stop some the bleeding until Thrushtalon came with the proper herbs.

(( Have her find out after she is made deputy, like maybe she wakes up tomorrow with her belly hurting her and that's how she finds out. That way she is still a good choice in Timberfalls mind. ))
"Okay we will send a strong patrol first thing in the morning to make sure that it left", Timberfall meowed to Duskpetal and casting a quick glance to Cavegrowl who was helping support her. "Everyone rest for a minute. We are safe, Cedarthorn if you would please take up watch at the camp entrance to ensure that the fox or anything else did not follow the blood trail." With Thrushtalon on his way to help the wounded there wasn't much left that he could do except make the official announcement to the clan about Moss-stars death. The dark brown toms paws felt heavy as he made his way to Highrock which was right above the leaders den... now his den. Pushing off the ground he lept onto of the rock and for the first time gave the gathering yowl for all the clan cats to gather below. "Let the clan gather beneath high rock for a clan meeting."
Cavegrowl stayed where he was supporting his mate until the medicine cat could get to her. He began to gently groom her pelt to help clean her wounds and remove the dust. It looked to have been a dirty and nasty fight, the last thing he wanted was for his mates wounds to get infected a foxes mouth was already too dirty.
Rushpaw settled herself down next to Moss-stars body and began to groom it as she listened to Timberfall make the official announcement of her death. It felt as if the apprentices world had been turned upside down, the leader she had known all her life was now gone. Yes they had Timberfall and he was a fine leader but in the young apprentices mind no one would be able to live up to Moss-star.

Fallowleaf came to with the feeling of someone grooming her pelt and cleaning her wounds. Slowly blinking her eyes she saw Adderflame bent over her. Wishing that she could get up and do it her self but the she-cat couldn't move no matter how much she tried. her eyes slowly closed again and she was out once more.

Pressing her nose into his cheek, an affectionate and thankful gesture for his support. The dark shecat lifted herself to her paws and followed their now leader, Timberfall away to the meeting point. Her tail drooping and gone of her former confidence for a while from the pain of loss and wounds, she settled down quickly. Unable to remain on her paws very much longer for fear of falling over hard. She watched the warrior make his way onto the rock in silence. Her tail wrapped neatly around her paws as she fought to keep herself upright without the aid of her mate.

"I am sure that all of you have found out by now but our beloved Moss-star is dead. She died a warriors death protecting the clan from two vicious foxes." Timberfall paused for a moment as his eyes scanned the clan below and then landed on the dead leaders body. "May Starclan welcome you into their ranks and may you have good hunting from this moment on", the dark brown tom meowed and then lowered his head as if he was saying good bye. "Tonight we will sit vigil for our fallen leader and tomorrow I will travel to Star Cave to receive my nine lives. However in these trying times I do not wish for the clan to ever be left leaderless and without guidance. So I say these words before Star Clan and the body of Moss-star and I pray they approve of my choice." Looking up to the sky and then back down to the clan his eyes landed on one cat in particular. "You have proven yourself time and time again to be a leader in difficult situations and you have always risen above. Duskpetal you shall be the new deputy of Tangleclan."
Cavegrowl was busy doing what he could to help his mate when Timberfall suddenly announced Duskpetal as the new deputy. The large dark grey tom was astounded. 'Her?!', he thought, 'Deputy?!' He couldn't believe it. Yes he was happy for her but the tom couldn't help but feel resentment towards his mate for getting the position instead of him, a senior warrior. Putting his own feelings aside for the moment he quickly nuzzled his mate careful of her wounds. "Congratulations!", he meowed in an excited tone being the first one to congratulate her.

At first it hadn’t appeared that the young warrior had heard the words of her own healer, too busy casting her eyes around camp to see how badly the rest of her patrol had been injured by the ordeal. When it struck her she all but jumped out of her skin at the news, her jaws agape she stared at her leader n disbelief, wondering if she was now hallucinating what had been said. But when her mate congratulated her, she knew it had to be true. On jittery and uncertain legs, Duskpetal lifted herself to her paws and approached her leader, eyes bright with genuine astonishment. She ducked her head, “...Thank you, Tmberf... Tmsberstar, I promise you wont regret your decision,” she promised.

(( Her stuttering literally just made me laugh out loud... might be the wine on my nerves but I really found it funny XD ))
"Its Timberfall still", the dark brown tom meowed humbly to his new deputy when she called him Timberstar. "I know that I am no Moss-star but I will do everything in my power to follow in her paw steps", the warrior meowed obviously in reference to her younger days knowing that that would be how she should best be remembered. With all that was needed to be said done he then leapt down from on top High Rock and made his way over to where Moss-stars body lay. Settling himself down next to her and pressing his nose into her pelt to smell her familiar scent the soon-to-be clan leader began his vigil for his beloved fallen leader.
(Also I was planning on doing a time skip to when Timberfall/star was just returning to camp after receiving his nine lives. In the mean time Cascadefrost was spreading doubt to certain clan members about his ability to lead the clan. So the clan members that will be leaving with her or exiled with her can now start to show what they really think sooo.... unleash the drama! Yes?)

(Haha nope!)
TIME SKIP 2 Days Time of Day: Dawn
The experience had been so exhilarating and the newly made leaders pelt was ruffled with excitement. Timberfall looked to Thrushtalon and nodded, "It happened, I got my nine lives", he meowed proudly as if before hand he doubted that it would happen. Leading the way out of Star Cave he was eager to return to his clan. Padding swiftly down the rocky terrain and back into forest the dark brown tom felt as if he was full of life and an untapped source of energy.
Rushpaw woke early and sat up from her cozy nest from within the apprentices den. Giving her charcoal black leopard spotted pelt a good groom she then carefully picked her way out of the den and into the camp clearing. Her head swiveled in search for Brackenfrost her mentor wondering what he had in store for then today.
Cavegrowl laid in his nest awake and thinking. The large dark grey tom had a lot on his mind and he continued to mull over his thoughts as those around him still slept. His large paws moved to sit straight out in front of him and he extended his claws to play with a loose piece of moss, his mind somewhere else.
Fallowleaf rolled in her nest from within the warriors den careful to not lay on any of her scabbed over wounds. She still felt a little weak but the young warrior was stronger than she realized and her wounds we're healing very quickly.
