Chin heavy on his large dark fuzzy paws, Cedarstar slowly blinked. He had been awake all night long sitting vigil between the two fallen warriors. Everything still felt so surreal, in just one night two clanmates had perished and there was nothing that anyone could do to save them. Taking a deep breath he looked up to the sky, the majority of the stars had now faded and the faint grey glow on the horizon informed him that the sun would soon peek over the horizon. A new day was about to start and he would be without his two greatest friends. Pushing himself up into a sitting position he began to flex the muscles in his stiffened legs. Soon the elders would come over and take away the clans fallen warriors to the burial ground. The massive dark toms head hung low but it felt as if his heart was as heavy as a boulder.

Sandlily had fallen asleep not too long ago at the edge of camp. She had tried to stay up all night long but exhaustion had pulled her eyes shut, and now she was sleeping so hard that she had unfurled from her curled up postions and her deep breathing was slightly noisy. Though her sleep was deep her dreams were plagued by the bear who had taken her clanmates life. The poor sweet warriors paws began to twitch as she did everything to get away from her nightmare.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Stagbellow was still positioned at the camps entrance sitting guard over the camp. The russet tom was tired from having been awake all night and practically all day as well, but he remained his vigilant watch. There was no way in Starclan that that he was about to let anything else happen to anymore of his clanmates. His green gaze continued to scan over the land in front of him looking for any sign of movement.

Cinderrose | open | clan camp The pale-furred molly fought a yawn as she shifted her stiff paws on the dusty ground. Sitting in such a position all night was very uncomfortable, but Cinderrose found it easier to stay awake if she were upright. She cast a disapproving glance at some warriors that had fallen asleep (including her brother); it was a vigil for StarClan's sake. However, the she-cat knew that the grief and exhaustion had most-likely caught up to them and found it hard to keep awake. Even though she was sad, Cinderrose wanted to honor the fallen deputy and valiant warrior who both bravely fought the bear and kept it from getting to camp. She could sleep later on, after the formalities were over. Another thing crossed her mind- who would be the new deputy? Hollowsong hadn't been in the position for too long and with Coldsnap being gone, too, Cinderrose knew Cedarstar's options were slim. There was Copperjaw, who always showed interest in holding the role, though Cinderrose personally doubted that she would be the one to be picked. Even if she was smart and quick, she was still young and wasn't always the nicest cat around. Neither was Cinderrose, but she had more experience under her belt. She prayed that Cedarstar would choose her. Wanting to better herself and her clan, the molly dreamed of becoming deputy as an apprentice. With not much else to look forward to, she had made it her goal to become independent and lead her clanmates in a positive way. Maybe, with this sudden and mournful event, her aspirations would come to light.
Hollowbirch | open | clan camp Hollowbirch was out cold only an hour after the vigil began. Too tired and shocked to stay awake, the tom barely fought sleep as it weighed down on him. He had been out on a patrol when the news hit and had to come back to a frenzied clan when he returned. To be honest, he was too shocked to truly mourn; maybe the grief would hit later but he doubted it. He wasn't a sentimental guy who dwelled on things too much; it made him feel depressed anyways. The next day he would be totally normal, ready to help whoever needed comforting. He knew Cedarstar would especially affected, as Hollowsong and Coldsnap were his bestfriends. He felt sorry for the large tabby tom; he also had to decide a new deputy on top of everything. The large tom didn't know who he would pick, but thought maybe his sister, Cinderrose, would be a candidate. He knew she had been pining for the role even as an apprentice, even if she didn't mention it to him. The molly wasn't too hard for him to read.

It wasn't too long after Cedarstar sat up did the sun finally peak over the horizon adding pink and pale orange splashes to the grey sky. It was now time to give the fallen warriors a final farewell before the elders arrived to carry them away to their final restong place. Turning he faced Hollowsong first and dipped his head down close to her body. "You would have made a fine leader, I will do my best to choose a worthy warrior to take your place", the large toms deep voice was barley a whisper as spoke. With his promise made he then pressed his muzzle into her long tabby pelt trying to catch her scent one last time. Sadly his effort was in vein for the only thing he could smell was the herbs that the medicine cat had prepared their bodies with just before the vigil. Pulling away Cedarstar faced his best friend, Coldsnap. The two tom had made many memories together and fought side by side in countless battles. As his yellow gaze looked down at the handsome grey toms lifeless body and a small shudder ran through his massive body, as if his heart was truly breaking. "Untill we meet again brother", he murmured and turned away and headed directly for his den head hung low and dustied tail dragging.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
The sound of pawsteps brought Sandlily back into the waking world and finally away from her horrid dreams. Sitting upright she gave her pale golden pelt a swift couple licks removing the dust and laying flat. Her pale olive colored eyes noticed that the sun had just broken over the horizion and that their vigil was over. The movement of a large dark form in the corner of her eyes cause her to turn her attention back towards her clanmates just in time to see Cedarstar heading for his den with the look of defeat. 'Oh you poor thing' she though inwardly about her clan leader. The pain he must be feeling having been so close to both of the deceased. As he walked away others began to move including the elders who were rising and getting ready to take their bodies away to be buried. Giving a few more laps to her pelt she rose to her paws, still heavy with sleep, and trotted over to the fallen warriors. Quickly she said her final goodbyes and touched her nose to their flanks before retreating out of the way so the others in the clan may do the same.

Hazelroot || 36 Moons || Tom Hazelroot is a smaller than average tom with short fur. He's a ginger tabby, although his base color fades to white at his chest and under his muzzle. He also has golden colored eyes. Hazelroot takes his job as medicine cat extremely seriously. He considers the welfare of his clan to come before everything else. He's a meticulous tom, who spends lots of time making sure everything is in perfect place. However, he is also rather nervous, and is prone to bouts of paranoia and anxiety, believing that danger is around every corner if he isn't careful enough. talizorahvasnerd Medicine Cat Open to father and siblings. Mother is Mosspool Our Hearts Beat Mosspool || 63 Moons || She-cat Mosspool is a long limbed and long tailed cat with short fur. Her pelt is mostly light brown, however if fades to white at her tail, chest, and muzzle. Her most striking feature are the dark brown rosettes that cover her body. She has a dark pink nose with black edges, and hazel eyes. Mosspool is mostly known for her patient nature. She has taken care of many kits in her life, and often acts as a mother to the rest of the clan. Some might find this sweet, while others find it overbearing.

Lionclaw || 38 moons || Tom Lionclaw is a bulky golden tom with short fur excluding the fur along his neck that is slightly longer than the rest of his fur making him look as if he had a mane like the ancient lion clan cats though his isn't much darker then his coat, his eyes are a dark green with flex of gold in the center. He is massive with large paws and cruel curved claws that are pitch black, he out weighs most cats in his clan making him intimidating to those who don't know him. A very kind and sweet tom with a patient and stoic demeanor, though his is patient he is known to have a temper when you irritate him too much. Though most of the time he is a supportive gentle giant who has a soft spot for kits and queens, and holds Cedarstar in high regards. His mentor who he still respects greatly is Stagbellow, and was close friends with the previous Deputy Hollowsong. Many thought he loved her, in a way he did but not as a mate. He is related to Cedarstar somewhat distantly, the leaders mother is the sister of Lionclaws paternal grandmother, which is all confusing to Lionclaw and he doesn't brag about it since he wasn't really close to his father. Tigerstripe, his father wasn't a kit loving tom but his mate Bluefeather wanted kits and poof Lionclaw was born. Tigerstripe outlived his mate by a few moons and had only passed away a few moons after becoming an elder due to an infection. Witchy Warrior

Outgoing and brash, some may consider her too honest. She is one who isn't afraid to speak before she thinks. She loves to argue and debate. She hates liars and cheaters and won't tolerate someone lying to her face. She loves to swim and run but hates climbing trees and is terrified of large birds. There isn't much history to her her father is unknown and her mother was a warrior named Blackfang, the pitch black she cat was killed when a tree fell suddenly while she and the previous deputy were on patrol. Blackfang only had one surviving kit in her little of three and though she dotted on her daughter she also didnt want to spoil her and often reprimanded her for her tone and how brash her daughter was with other. Now with Blackfang gone Leafpaw wants to become a warrior her mother can be proud of. Witchy Apprentice Relationships Other

Hazelroot had left the vigil rather silently, slipping away back into the medicine cat den. The logical part of his mind knew that there was nothing that could have been done, but he still couldn't help but mentally go down every herb he had, any omen he could have missed. Hollowsong and Coldsnap were two very important cats to the clan, and their loss was hitting him hard. Usually he'd bury his feelings away in sorting out his herbs, but the sight of his stocks sent another twinge of annoyance. With the drought around them, finding herbs was becoming as difficult as a search through leaf-bare. He was making do with what he had, but it still wouldn't nearly be enough.

Lionclaw was next to say goodbye to his friends, Hollowsong was a kind supportive friend and she was like the older sister he never had. She had teased him and wrestled with him when he was an apprentice and even as a new warrior she would pull him into conversations with the others and saved his flank many times in fights. He felt tears fall from his eyes and he bent his head to her blinking away the tears and the pain that was growing his his chest. Looking at her now she was smaller and battle worn from the fatal fight that stole her from this world. He couldn't speak to her not when she wouldn't be able to make a smart comment about him being emotional or swipe at him for being such a gentle cat. Oh Hollowsong.... You weren't suppose to leave so soon... what happened to being leader of the clan and helping those around you? Oh my dear friend I will miss you... He thought and pressed his face into her fur, snarling he held back a sob. After a moment of gaining his composure he licked her cheek and stood turning he saw little Leafpaw bent to her now dead mentor her quiet sobs had echoed through the night as she sat with him the entire time. But now she was silent and laid by his belly pressed close to him her chin resting on his front leg as she looked at his face. Her eyes were dark and hollow from crying all night. Lionclaw sighed and went to them pressing his nose to Coldsnap's forehead. "Safe hunting my friend..." He told Coldsnap soft, then he moved to Leafpaw. "Come you should rest."
Leafpaw didnt acknowledge the warrior she just looked at her mentor, it would be the last time she would see him. In the few moons of her apprenticeship he had shown her how to fight, how to hunt, how to swim. When her mother was killed he was there beside her as she sat vigil and now she was here for him. This tom was her mentor and like a father to her and now she was alone in the world. She should've went with them, if she hadn't been such a mouse brain she would've gone with the warriors and maybe just maybe this wouldn't have happened... She would have her mentor with her to continue her journey to become a warrior. She was pulled out of her thoughts when Lionclaw nudged her. Lifting her head she looked at him, "I won't leave him." She said then placed her head back on his leg.

Having just been relieved of his guard duty by another more refreshed warrior Stagbellow quietly approached his fallen comrades. Saying good bye was much harder than he anticipated so he remained silent as he nuzzled his muzzle into Hollowsongs long tabby pelt. Pulling away he moved onto Coldsnap who still had Lionclaw, the ruddy toms former apprentice, and Leafpaw as his side. Lionclaw was trying to get Leafpaw to go and get some rest, but his attempts would not make the small apprentice budge. Stepping forwards Stagbellow gave Lionclaws flank a gentle nudge for him to move aside so he could console the heart broken shecat. Maybe the seasoned warrior could help the young apprentice let go.

((My cat Luci was a tortishell with green eyes, we joked about her name being short for Lucifer because she could be a demon lol she was playful and mischievous and was always getting into something. But when our cat Lexus got sick and passed Luci wasn't really the same. We rescued both within a month of each other and they were together for 11 years they were best friends. She was my origin idea for leaf paw.))
Lionclaw was about to speak again but his mentor nudged him and with one look he knew, Lionclaw moved away from Stagbellow and Leafpaw but stayed close by. While his mentor dealt with the apprentice, his mind and eyes went to Hollowsong. Dawn was approaching quickly and he could see the light beginning to brighten the hollow. He prayed she transitions well in Starclan and that she would guide him in the future.
Leafpaw didnt pay mind to the warriors, she didnt care about anything or any of them that came to see her mentor off to join star clan. She would be here for him and nothing, not even star clan could pull her from him. Leafpaw sniffled and felt her heart ache, she wasn't ready to say goodbye. She had so much to learn from him, and he was gone now. She needed him more then Starclan did.

Stagbellow blinked thankfully towards Lionclaw before stepping forwards so he could be at Leafpaws side. Sitting down he the proceded to wrap his long feathery tail around her flank so she could feel his closeness in hopes of it giving her comfort. "I remember the day Cedarstar made you an apprentice as if it was yesterday. I dont know if you know this but Coldsnap and I had been out hunting earlier that morning just before the ceremony. I had no idea that he had been chocen to be your mentor untill after he missed not one but two different mice. Coldsnap was so nervous about being a mentor that he could barley hunt" Stagbellow couldn't help but stifle a small chuckle as he thought back to that day and grey warriors clumsiness.
"Anyways when I finally pressed about what was on his mind he told me that he was to be made your mentor. Then he proceeded to tell me how he wasnt actually nervous about being your mentor, he greatly looked forwards to being not just your mentor but a life long friend. What made him nervous was that he feared the possibility of failing you." Turning Stagbellow faced Leafpaw and looked her in the eyes. "On that day before you were even apprenticed I vowed to Coldsnap that if he were ever to fail you that I would flay him alive and if he wasnt here for me to do that then I would be there for you... That I would teach you. Guide you. And help you grow into a warrior that he could be proud of."

Leafpaw felt fresh tears fill her eyes, she hiccuped and shook her head; trying to keep her tears at bay. "I dont want another mentor. He wasn't suppose to die. He said he would do his best to teach me, how can he teach me if he's dead?" Leafpaw said her voice cracking and her body shaking. "He was suppose to be here to train me.... To help me.... I was suppose to be with him.. but I played a prank on Adderpaw and was told to clean out the entire den... Maybe if I went with him he wouldn't have been killed!" She cried now standing and yelling her fur bristling as her tears dripped down her cheeks.

Stagbellow watched as she responded allowing her emotions to control her. Sighing he responded his tone firm, "I can see how you might be thinking that Leafpaw, but you are being taught a lesson that many mentors never get to teach their apprentices. Do not let Coldsnaps death be nothing but grief for you. Allow yourself to grow and learn from this experience, allow Coldsnaps death to make you stronger. The more trials that one endures, the stronger the being. Now. Leafpaw, are you going to let this defeat you or are you going to let it strengthen you?" His green eyes stared intensely at the apprentice challenging her to rise above this trial. Everyone in the clan had to press on and do their duties, and she needed to do the same.
