Coontail had let out a yowl, trying to follow Hollyfall's trail and catch her but failing to do so. He now jumped to the ground by the she-cat and stared with wide-eyes at the other, moving slowly and pulling the branches from off of the she-cat. "Hollyfall... come on. Get up." He nudged her softly.
Clearrain bolte to Lilypaw's side, bringing the she-cat close on instinct as the yowls filled the air. Clearrain's eyes found Hollyfall after all was through and she stared in horror at the sight of her fallen comrade.
Clearfang had not gone far truly, instead he had gone only a few trees width away, wanting to stay close in case of something happening. Each of his comrades that joined him brought a smile to his features, until suddenly that smile was ripped away as the yowls of Hollyfall reached his ears, turning his blood cold and setting his body into action as he suddenly raced to the clearing, bursting out of the shrubbery to see what had happened, only to see the form of Hollyfall at the foot of a tree.

Lilypaw crouched in front of Hollyfall, trying to nudge her and muttering "No, no no" repeatably, as if she couldn't say anything else, but the she-cat wouldn't budge by herself. Honeyleaf glared at the fallen branch that pinned the cat down, and pressed his shoulder against it, his small paws skidded and he growled, but it shifted and rolled off her soon enough. Hollyfall's fur had splinters embedded in many places, her back leg was twisted at an unnatural angle and a trail of blood dripped down the side of her mouth to puddle her cheek, hinting internal damage after that fatal fall.
Reedwillow was trembling at the sight and was about to ask something, until the black bicolor cat coughed out a spatter of red. "C-Can't mo-... every.. everything hurts..." She rasped with glazed eyes, just the action of speaking pained her.
"Don't speak, I'll try to do something." Said the Medicine cat, but it rang hollow as he examined her closer. Hollyfall's broken leg was already an obstacle for a cat with as limited knowledge as he had. He cursed his unfinished training. Honeyleaf tried to shift her, but her whimpers stopped him, making his blood turn to ice as how bad of condition she was, last thing he wanted was to make it worse. He searched vainly, as if there was something he could find to help. He turned to Clearfang, surprised and yet relieved he hadn't gone far like he said, but also his face was distraught. "I can't let her die. I-I'm supposed to be a Medicine Cat. I can't!"

Clearrain pulled Lilypaw away from the other, steering her to the side of the clearing and away from the sight.
Coontail looked in horror, drawing closer to Hollyfall once more. "N-No... If only I had moved faster. If I had bee more sure. I-I could've stopped this. It's my fault."

Hollyfall looked at Coontail, and she lifted a paw, wincing as she did, but rested it on his regardless to reassure him. "N..No.." She mewled, "It's not. It's mine, I was stupid to go up that high. I d.. didn't know the branch was that thin. I didn't hear it. D-Don't beat yourself up... I guess I'm true to part of my name huh?" She forced a laugh, and coughed again. Her eyes then locked on Clearfang, they blazed like green fire for the barest second. She knew he wouldn't have truly left them after everything. "You..." She started. "Go... take them t-to the new territory Clearfang. It shouldn't be far now right? And make sure to take care of my clanmate Lilypaw for me, especially... Clearrain, I know she'd want her to... I trust you." She barely heard Lilypaw, who's cries were heard not too far away as she distanced herself. Honeyleaf looked defeated, and Reedwillow bowed his head.

Clearfang stepped forward to the she-cat and lowered his head, rested his muzzle atop the she-cat's forehead as he spoke softly. "You will never be forgotten. You will never leave us as you now start our true ancestors, as Starclan no longer watches over us, but you alone until more will join in the coming seasons. Rest well Hollyfall, may you find strength among your new homes." He breathed deeply and stood up, turning to the others. "We will rest here and hold vigil, we leave tomorrow at sunrise, be ready." The tom then moved to Honeyleaf and beckoned for the other to follow him as he went to a quiet area of the clearing.

Hollyfall kept her dulling eyes on Clearfang as he walked away. She cracked a winning smile the best she could, before finally whispering. "Heh. I always felt he'd be a great leader..." And with that, her eyes closed, and her paw that had rested on Coontail's rolled off. Immediately, Reedwillow lowered himself to his belly, tucking his paws under him to press his muzzle to her body. Lilypaw came back eventually, and rested side to side with Hollyfall so that their flanks touched, and beckoned Clearrain to join them.
Meanwhile Honeyleaf bowed his head too. He never knew Hollyfall too well personally, but he was just starting to think of her as he would any other clan mate. "If only I could save her..." He muttered, still feeling like blaming himself for being so useless, then nearly jumped when Clearfang approached him and, with a bare nod, agreed to follow him. When they reached the quieter spot he sat. "You wanted to talk to me, Clearfang?" He asked with caution, uncertain after the little scuffle from before, in which he looked down at his paws.

Coontail stared at the other for several moments before taking a step back, pain and guilt across his features. "No... it's my fault. I-I need to be alone." He then turned and sped off into the forest, needing to collect his thoughts.
Clearrain joined Lilypaw, pressing against her side and wrapping their tails together.
Clearfang sat down slowly and let out a slow breath, his ears going back slightly as Honeyleaf joined him. "Don't beat yourself up over this Honeyleaf. You're training was not finished and so this is not your fault, just as it is not Contail's fault." Clearfang looked up and stare as the other tom ran off into the woods. "I need your help now more than ever. We have to keep moving and we have to keep everyone together... and well. Your training was not finished but everyone here has some knowledge of herbs, myself included, and so we can all help together. It doesn't need to rest on you alone. We're here for you." He smiled and laid his tail on the others shoulder. "I'm here for you."

Honeyleaf winced, shifting his paws. "I guess... but, it's still my job to take care of these cats now, it's gonna hurt me more than anyone else here thanks to that. If only I had more time to learn the deeper ins and outs of healing..." His green eyes were glistening, and he looked as though he wanted to wail. He pressed his head to Clearfang's chest, his scent comforting and eased his shaking as he listened to him. It was rather daunting now that he saw death show itself with one of their cats. Honeyleaf looked up at Clearfang as his tail lay on his shoulder, shivering, yet touched his own tailtip to Clearfang's in gratitude. "I'd appreciate it. I really do need you guy's support... especially from you Clearfang." He meant it more than anything.

Clearfang smiled softly and nuzzled the other softly, his eyes shining in the light. "I'm always here to help you, never forget that. e'll run in problems and death is a natural occurrence, don't beat yourself up when life ends. One ending can be a new beginning you know."

(Dew it. I'm also thinking about making more characters for the RP some time later. Maybe when they settle? Or mayhaps a loner for them to run into?)
Honeyleaf purred, and held Clearfang's gaze as he nuzzle against him. He took in his scent some more, relaxing and letting out a breath he's been holding the entire time. "I'll try to remember that. And, I..." He meowed, and opened his mouth to say something else, but words caught in his throat, there was something in the back of his mind stopping him, making him uncertain. He cleared his throat and instead said "I... I really am happy I came with you, in so many ways. I'm sorry for complaining too," He trailed a paw on the ground with twitching whiskers, seeming to trade his grief to embarrassment. "I'm not usually like that, I'll be a lot better when we settle at our new home. Really."

Clearfang chuckled lightly and looked at the other. "It's fine Honeyleaf, I understand what you were thinking and why, ust know that your opinion is needed as well and sometimes... you need to look at the bigger picture. He then smirked somewhat. "You seem like you have something else to say. If you do then go ahead, I'm here to listen." Clearfang smiled softly.

Honeyleaf's eyes brightened, the first after a long time. "Thank you," But then they averted Clearfang's own duel colored gaze. His heart thumped. That nagging at the back of his head pushed again and he stammered, their noses almost touching. "I... I think.. um. I l-"
"Clearfang?" Reedwillow suddenly poked his head, his nose twitching as he sniffed out their scent. "Lilypaw wanted me to tell you Hollyfall's buried. Are you guys gonna come sit with us?"
Honeyleaf was tempted to tell Reedwillow to go away. But at the same time he cleared his throat again. "Er, coming! Come on Clearfang we don't wanna miss Hollyfall's vigil. Heheh..." He then got up and stared ahead as he padded away, but not before brushing his side against Clearfang's shoulder and turned his muzzle to the other's ear, his breath like wisps on Clearfang's inner ear fur. "There is something I wanna talk to you about... two things actually, but we'll do so later." And padded off.
(Notsorrylol, I kinda do wanna tease 'em a lil' more if that's okay)

Aw the torture. It's beautiful))
Honestly, Clearfang had also wanted to tell Reedwillow to go away, though bit back the words ad let out a groan in his head. I feel as though I was about to be told something really good too! Ugh. Ignoring his disappointment the tom stood to follow only to have a shiver rush through his body as the other brushed against his side before speaking right into his ear, the fur in Clearfang's ear moving because of the others breathing. He shook off the feeling of it and nodded to the other, showing he understood, before he walked out into the clearing and sat down by the others.

(Gotta build up that tension between them. Haha!)
Honeyleaf was there as expected. Twitching one of his ears as Clearfang approached the group, his green gaze was longing as it locked onto him, as if silently apologizing for their clanmate's bad timing. He'll tell him what he wanted to tell him later the next time they're alone. Until then the cream tom pressed his muzzle to the grave at his paws. "I'll miss Hollyfall. I didn't know her too personally as a clan mate for too long, but I'll admit was just starting to like her. She will not be forgotten by any of us." He held back blaming himself, knowing she wouldn't want him doing that.
Reedwillow blinked solemnly, curling his tail tighter around him. "Yeah... she had fire in her. I... I bet she would've loved to see the new territory while alive."
Lilypaw wasn't crying as hard as she was anymore, but the sobs still shook her. It took her the longest to speak, but when she did.. "S-She was my clan m-mate. We would always chase each other around... back at our former home." She started, fighting to keep her voice from shaking with her. It was a painful struggle. "She was m...mischievous. I rem-member when she would attempt to climb onto the leader's ledge to look down on the others below, only to be scolded and was looking for ticks later. But she never let that stop her from having fun, even when she got on others nerves." The tortie let out a sigh. "I wouldn't say we were the absolute bestest of friends. But while we were on the journey she was the one cat I knew best personally... and.. I guess my one friend I had from our old clan..." The thought kinda scared her a little. "I really do hope she watches over us and... I.. I'll m-miss her the most..." She finally broke again, and buried her face into the dirt of the grave, muffling her weeping.

(How about we have them come across that twolegplace you mentioned in planning thread? It could make for a really good obstacle in their way before they reach their new home)

That would mean they're almost at their new territory because the new territory is a little past the twolegplace, on the other side of a thudnerpath.
They can meet marble at the two-leg place and Jadeclaw can die crossing the thunderpath))
