In a camp hidden in an abandoned gorge, everyone was asleep... Or so it seemed. Creeping out of the medicine cat's den was the elderly medicine cat, Blackleaf. The grey and black tabby stalked along the camps edge to the nursery, he crept into the nursery and returned a moment later with two kits no more than a few days old. Their mother mysterious died shortly after having four kits. He dashed out of camp, unknowingly sending a rock down into the leaders den where the leader, Sparrowstar, was sleeping.
The rock hit the leader on the snout, jolting the tom awake. He got to his paws and slide out from under the tree roots that made his den. Catching but a quick glimpse of Blackleaf's tail disappearing into the shadows of the night. Having a bad feeling in his gut the leader hurried after the medicine cat, careful not to disturb anyone else.
"Blackleaf?... Blackleaf?!" Sparrowstar called out in a hushed tone, but the grey tom would not stop moving. As the sounds of a near by river filled Sparrowstar's ears he hurried his pace, bounding around the medicine cat and standing tall in front of him. "What is Starclan's name are you doing?" He glanced down and noticed to the two sleeping kits in Blackleaf's jaws. Sensing the situation was bad, Sparrowstar's ears flattened across his head and he unsheathed his claws.
"Return the kits... Now!" He growled, but Blackleaf didn't not flinch, nor did he make any move to listen to his leader's command. Blackleaf opened his mouth to speak, the two kits falling onto the leaves and grass below with small thuds, "I can't do that, you know I can't do that..." His voice came out raspy and tired, like he hadn't slept for days. "It is Starclan's will, these kits were not meant to surivive!" The herb scented tom unsheathed his claws, his green eyes seemed dull and dark. Sparrowstar shook his head, "I understand how you feel, Lavenderfrost was your kin and its terrible she died from kitting. I've seen the visions too, but I cannot believe Starclan would want us to kill four innocent kits!"
Blackleaf passed back and forth, his eyes locked on Sparrowstar. "You have no idea how I feel! Those herbs I gave Lavenderfrost were suppose to rid her of those kits, not kill her!" he mewed solemly, hurt clearly showing in his eyes. "I tried to help her, to protect her! But these kits... They killed her! And now Starclan is sending both of us messages about these cursed kits. It is Starclan's will Sparrowstar, we must do what they command. Grab the other two in the nursery and meet me by the river, we'll finish this and be done with it!" He sounded like a mad old badger. But Sparrowstar would listen to none of it, the brown tabby made a quick move for the kits. Blackleaf spat and pounced onto Sparrowstar, "You have betrayed Starclan!" he yowled as he raked his claws down Sparrowstar's side.
Sparrowstar easily shook the smaller, and older tom off of him. Turning to swat the medicine cat across the ears and face. "No, you have betrayed the clan. And your kin!" Sparrowstar hissed...
