Dovecloud walked closer to the gathering group of cats, her head tilted. βHawkjaw, what happened?β she asked softly, hoping he could hear her through the other questioning voices. Hazelshine limped out of the medicine den after she heard Robinwhisper start to wail. She wanted to know what was going on, too, but didnβt feel like shouting out questions this time around. Whatever it was sounded like another death, but Hazelshine couldnβt figure out who it could be. No one in the medicine den had died... not yet, anyway. Anxiety was beginning to wash over Hawkjaw as the queen went on wailing. Hawkjaw locked eyes with Dovecloud for a moment, a sorrowful expression on his face, before turning his attention to the crowd. His eyes searched for a flicker of the blue-gray pelt of Robinwhisperβs sister, Dreamwaveβs daughter, but he saw her nowhere. The news would have to reach her otherwise. A pang of guilt tugged in his belly. The events from the past few nights had utterly shattered the clan, what would this news do to them? With one last pained glance around the clearing, he cleared his throat and called out to them. βCats of Groveclan,β Addressing all the cats in the vicinity proved harder than he imagined, and his voice was a choked rasp as he went on. βToday we mourn the loss of another clanmate in the wake of the floods.β Shocked gasps rang about the clearing, and Robinwhisper plopped onto the ground heavy with sadness. βWe lost Dreamwave the night of the great flood,β he continued, sadness echoing in his words. βShe died valiantly saving a kit from drowning.β Conveniently he had left out the name of the kit. The news was devastating enough without the clan knowing her death had been in vain to save a traitor spy. In the wake of the news he stood amongst the cats, watching all of their expressions droop.

Dovecloud took in a sharp breath, then looked at her paws. Dreamwave had given the Clan so much with her wisdom and experience. And then she was gone so quickly. At least she had died heroically. She glanced up at the medicine den where Bluepool was still with Goldenstrike. How would her other kit take this?
Hazelshine was about to respond, then shut her mouth as Hawkjaw told them what happened. The warrior sighed and shook her head. βNo wonder Robinwhisperβs so devastated,β she said quietly so the queen wouldnβt hear her. For once she didnβt have much to say, so she just gave Yellowheart a deflated look.

Fallenrain stood beside Hazelshine and Yellowheart. Though she had not gasped nor been shocked, her eyes welled grief as she approached. βDreamwave died in vain.β She reflected in a quiet, anger-filled tone. The silver she-cat had been there when the senior warrior met her fate. Her thoughts filled with the memory of watching helplessly as Dreamwave bravely faced the floodwaters to drag the kit to safety. And how she was swept away in the current without a hope of return.

Hazelshine turned her gaze to Fallenrain and raised a brow. βWhat do you mean?β she asked slowly. βWere you there when she died?β

βYes.β Fallenrain replied defeatedly. Shame gripped her tongue as she realized she had failed her clanmates by neglecting to tell them of the senior warriorβs death. βShe was carrying kits for the queens when that spy,β she spat out the word, βbegan to lag behind.β She shook her head dismally. βA current swept her away and Dreamwave leapt in after her, then she was gone.β

Hazelshine felt her neck fur start to bristle. βSheβs just a kit,β she said, narrowing her eyes slightly. βWe didnβt know she was with the rogues then. Even if we did, Iβm sure she would have saved her anyway.β

βYeah,β Fallenrain agrees with Hazelshine, nodding her head. βWeβre not heartless like those rogues.β

Gremlin opened his mouth to object, then glanced down at his measley prey. Would the other rogues find out? Prey was prey, anyway. βA-Alright,β he said after hesitating a few moments. βWhere would a better place to hunt be?β wildwatcher

Yellowheart shook his head and looked down."But what if we were?"He asked,half to himself. Hazelshine lifted her muzzle and sniffed. βIf we are, they arenβt acting any better. We donβt kill for no reason, do we?β

Gremlin started and hurried after her, eyes wide. Was he really doing this with a Clan cat? βA-Alright,β he replied, letting his fur lie flat. He could trust this cat... probably.

Hazelshine rolled her eyes. "When we kill, it's for self defense," she said, then looked over at Yellowheart. "What reason did that rogue have to kill Frostpaw? Did he feel threatened by a kit?" She scoffed and turned her attention back to Hawkjaw momentarily.

Gremlin let out a quiet purr as the scent of mouse washed around him. He quickly spotted one nibbling on some dry grass, and he dropped to his haunches. When the mouse looked at him and squeaked, he pelted after it. He bounded clumsily after it before sliding and slamming his paws down on it. For once it wasn't scrawny!
((how graceful))

Dovecloud slowly approached Robinwhisper and set next to the grieving queen. At first she wasn't sure what to say, and wondered why she even tried talking to Robinwhisper. But memories of her own mother's death came to her, and she sighed a bit. "I... I'm sorry," she whispered, pulling further into herself. "At least she died... protecting the Clan."

Hazelshine huffed. "Frostpaw was just fine before he was killed. I think those rogues need to be taught a lesson next time," she said, flicking her tail angrily. "Or at least that rogue."
