Silverrose stood unsteadily and padded out of the cabin and down the steps. She moved in front of the clan and carefully set down Briarleaf's body. She touched her nose to her fur and then backed away to give space for others to say their goodbyes. "I'm here if anyone needs to talk." She offered loudly. She sat about a cat length back from Briarleaf and started watching Hawkstar.
Turtlepool blinked slowly at Iriscry in thanks for her kind words. She then made her way up to Briarleaf. She touched her nose to the cold nose of her clanmate and sobbed quietly. "Good bye old friend. I always thought I would be the first to go." She stepped back and went back to sit with Iriscry.

Frostflower looked back at her mate with tears in her eyes. She hadn't been as close to Briarleaf as Brackenheart had been but she knew her well enough. And death reminded her of her own mortality. She rose leaving the half eaten vole on the porch and made her way to the front of the clan where Briarleaf lay too still. "May Starclan light your path." She repeated.
Crowflight looked blankly put across the cats. How could Hawkstar be so cruel. He banned kits and now he acts as though the death of their medicine cat was nothing. He watched the leader and shook his head.

Rosebriar walked into the camp with her mouse clamped in her jaws. She looked around at the cluster of cats and then saw Briarleaf's dead body. She gasped dropping the mouse and then looked ashamed to have reacted so loudly. She quickly picked up the mouse and sat at the edge of the group.
Brackenheart quickly followed after Frostflower. He dipped his head to Silverrose and Cedarsong. Then he turned ro Briarleaf. "Goodbye" he said.

Volethorn touched his nose to the body after Brackenheart. "Goodbye, thank you for all you have down," he said, stepping away. He gave his brother another comforting lick to his head and moved away so there was more room for others to say their goodbyes.
Cedarsong stayed quiet the whole time. He watched as others said their goodbyes. He turned it to the sky, was she watching them now? Or was she still making her way there?
Iriscry moved to the body. Touching her nose to it. "May Starclan light your path," she said to the medicine cat. Moving away and back to where she was formerly. Dappleberry and Robinfeather both went over and said their goodbyes, keeping it brief so others could go.

Rosebriar moved from the side of the group up to the body of Briarleaf. She sniffled a little and touched her nose to the soft fur of the medicine cat and then quickly walked away feeling self-conscious. She went back to her spot at the edge of camp.
Turtlepool sighed a little and made eye contact with Iriscry. She knew she couldn't go back to their light hearted conversation from before but she didn't want to sit in silence.
Brackenheart walked back to the porch of his cabin and layed down. He took s bite of the vole and chewed it slowly. Not sure what else to do he started to bathe himself while muttering to himself about how unfair it was that Briarleaf died.
Heronpaw padded through the forest holding a couple mice and a robin in his jaws. He was coming back from hunting and he felt a shift in energy as he neared the camp. He dropped his prey on the pile that would scarcely feed more than half the clan and looked up to the front of camp. There he saw cats mourning a sad lump of fur. He realized as he got closer that it was Briarleaf's body and he felt saddened. He sighed and went up to her body and dipped his head. Then he walked to where Hawkstar was.

Frostflower followed Brackenheart back to their spot on the porch and took the last bite of vole. She sighed and closed her eyes to mourn Briarleaf. Tears flowed down her face and she sniffled loudly. She buried her face in her paws as she cried.
Crowflight got up and said his goodbyes to Briarleaf before walking toward Volethorn. He had heard Silverrose ask him to take out a patrol for hunting but then he paused seeing he was with Cedarsong. He turned away and padded off to the warriors den.
Ryesplash grunted at the announcement and left the camp. He would mourn later when the clan didn't need prey. He stalked and looked around. He pounced when he came across a rabbit eating some vegetation. It didn't have time to scream he was so quick to grab its neck.

When everyone was done, Cedarsong laid against the ground, pressing his nose against his mentors fur. He closed his eyes, he didn't want to leave her just laying there alone. The sand colored tom curled his tail tightly around himself, new tears sliding down his face.
Volethorn spotted Crowflight and walked over to the other. "I know now might not be the time but do you want to go out hunting," he asked the other warrior. He didn't feel like it himself, especially with the news of Briarleaf dying, qnd his brother was taking it hard. But he wanted to avoid trouble with how Hawkstar was acting.

Silverrose grimaced as she watched Cedarsong lay down. She knew he would mourn all night for his mentor. She just hoped no one would need him. They were low on herbs and morale in the clan and she knew that Hawkstar was only making things worse. She watched the clan looking for someone to talk to.

Crowflight looked up when Volethorn came over. "Sure. I was going to ask since I heard Silverrose ask you but I didn't want to take you away from Cedarsong." The younger tom said. He didn't have any littermates but he knew the two were close.

Hollyflower - 26 moons. A grey striped tabby she-cat with green eyes. Hollyflower dreams to become medicine cat one day, but she knows she'll never be able to have that dream, because Hollyflower couldn't help mating, even though she tried so hard not to. When she found out she was pregnant, Hollyflower was so depressed, deep down she never loved her kittens, Lilykit and Twigkit, at all. Jasminedusk
Oakfire - 28 moons. A terra-cotta brown tabby tom with amber eyes. Oakfire fell in love with Hollyflower when he was still young, but he knew the dreamy, young she-cat would never accept love. But as Oakfire grew older, he wasn't able to contain his feelings any longer, and though he knew Hollyflower had plans, Oakfire began to hang out with her more often. At first, Oakfire was hurt that Hollyflower tried to keep him away, but after a while she accepted and became Oakfire's life. When Hollyflower became pregnant, Oakfire was overjoyed, but he knew that Hollyflower wasn't. As time ticked, Oakfire's emotions started to battle. Jasminedusk
Lilykit(flame) - 3 moons. A fluffy pale brown tabby she-cat with twinkling pale pink eyes. Lilykit is beautiful and high-spirited. She can't wait for almost anything, and enjoys her time with her brother, Twigkit. Lilykit rarely talks, but lots is always going on in her heart and mind. Jasminedusk
Twigkit(tail) - 3 moons. A dark brown tom with green eyes. Twigkit talks a lot and always makes up for his sister's silence. He has very strong opinions, but he can tell what his parents are thinking a lot. And even though Twigkit acts as though he's brave and knows what he's doing, deep down, Twigkit has one fear; his parents separating. Jasminedusk

Volethorn looked back to his brother. "I'm not really sure how to comfort him right now, so I doubt I'll be of use to him," Volethorn responded to the other. Maybe he could try find a squirrel, he knew it was his brother's favorite, so maybe that would cheer him up?

"I'm not sure what to do for any of them. Its really sad she died but I didn't know her well. I didn't spend much time in the Medicine den nor was I ever assigned to help her gather herbs. She was mentoring your brother before I became an apprentice." He paused and looked at the solumn faces. "At least she lived a long life" he tried to be sympathetic but it was hard to be more than a little sad. He was glad to get out of camp to help the clan the only way he could. He waited for Volethorn to take the lead.

Volethorn walked with the other warrior as they left the camp. He has none the medicine cat for a while, but not to the degree the others did including his brother. So he didn't know how to exactly go about trying to comfort any of them. "Hopefully full bellies will help with their grief," he said. It was all he could do right now, hunt and provide for his clanmates.

Crowflight nodded and padded on for a while. He broke off the silence only to question something. "Does something seem off to you about Hawkstar? First banning kits and then bow crude he acted when announcing Briarleaf's death?" He continued to walk as though he didn't just question his leader. He stopped when he scented a vole and a couple different squirrels.

"He's definitely changed from the stories I heard about him as a kit," he said to the other. He didn't know the cause, he's heard multiple rumors, that it was due to some kind of prophecy to him being jealous of not being able to find a mate, he wasn't sure which on to believe. "But I do know I don't agree with his behavior nor how he is running things." He flicked his tail a little nervously. "How about you though?"

Crowflight nodded. "I don't agree with him in the slightest. Especially with no kits. We are going to end up dying out without fresh blood." He looked around realizing it was a blasphemous thing to say. "Plus I know I want to have kits one day and so do Wrenwillow and Melonburr." He eyed a squirrel that had come into sight. Waiting for Volethorn to react to it.

Volethorn nodded in agreement to the other's words. He wouldn't mind having a family or even just a mate, but the tom was to nervous to go about trying to do so. His ears perked when he scented a squirrel, crouching close to the ground as he slowly stalked towards it, trying his best to keep downwind from it.

Crowflight stood still as he waited for the other cat to catch the squirrel. He didn't want him to lose the animal as prey was just starting to come back to the forest. Hunting was better away from the burned forest but it still wasn't great. He stood and wondered how long Hawkstar's reign would be and if he would ever have a family.

Volethorn crept a little closer before pouncing forward and gave a quick bite. He dug into the earth, and placed the squirrel into the hole and covered it up to come back to it. He sce Ted at the air, his tail flicking to Crowflight in the direction that he had scented a mouse being in.

Crowflight was in his own little world while standing there waiting for Volethorn. He sighed at the thought of never having a family. Then he caught sight of Volethorn's tail and moved in the direction of the mouse. He huffed in the scent and pounced. He missed the mouse's body by mere centimeters and caught only its tail. It squeaked loudly befoee escaping.

Volethorn flicked his tail, disappointed the mouse got away. But it happens, not every piece of prey did. "It's okay," he said to the other tom. They were bound to find more while they were out here, and as long as they brought back a decent amount it should feed the clan well for the time being.

"I should have caught that but oh well. There will be more prey." Crowflight brushed off his failure. "We might need to move on from here though cause they squeak probably alerted the prey in the area." He started padding in a random direction hoping it would lead to more prey.

Iriscry looked to Turtlepool. She wanted to go back to the conversation prior to the announcement. But it fell wrong to do so, she flicked her tail behind her. "Maybe this death will get Hawkstar to get his head straight and not be so mousebrained?" She looked at the elder.
Volethorn followed after him, nodding in agreement. "It's still a decent time<" he said studying the sun in the sky, they should have no issues finding some kind of prey out here. He scented at the air as they walked together, the tom flicking his ear.

Turtlepool scoffed at Iriscry's comment. "I don't think he has any sense left in him. He had a bad mentor you know. He was exiled from the clan. I don't remember what he did but it must have been bad for Sparkstar to exile him." She sighed. She missed seeing kits play and families begin. But the leader had made a rule against having kits so the clan stopped growing.

Iriscry thought back to the incident. She had been an apprentice when it had happened, she hadn't been close to either cat so she didn't think much of it. "I suppose you have a point there, but it has to have been something terrible or for breaking a major part of the warrior code." She glanced to the direction of Heronpaw and Hawkstar. "I just hope he hasn't screwed Heronpaw up to be just like him."

Turtlepool nodded. "I don't think he has. I think Heronpaw is independent enough that it doesn't affect him. Or if he does have issues he will seek to sort them out." The elder turned and watched the apprentice. "He is a very dutiful cat" she purred and turned away.

Crowflight nodded as he kept walking. He copied Volethorn in scenting the air. It seemed like so much time had passed since the fire but he had been just an newly made apprentice or a kit when it happened. He was glad to see the animals coming back after the fire and leafbare. It had been a harsh season. He broke off scenting a shrew. He padded gently in its direction and pounced when he saw it draw near. "Gotcha" he mumbled through the body of the shrew.
