Emberstar awoke slowly, dawn light filling his den. He yawned, flicking an ear out of habit. As he got to his feet and stretched his legs, a metallic smell filled his nose. His eyes widened in surprise and confusion, quickly glancing down at himself and his den. He had thought that the smell was his blood, and that he might've cut himself on accident while sleeping. When he noticed that he wasn't injured, fear gripped his heart.
Springing out of the den, he slid to a stop. A black form lay broken on the ground in front of the nursery, a small pool of blood beside them. Emberstar winced, shutting his eyes quickly and looking away. It was Onyxpaw.

Emberstar was stricken- the poor apprentice had been ripped apart. Who could kill such a young cat like this? It sickened him to his stomach, and tears welled in his eyes. Hadn't they been through enough?

Hollythorn detected the sour scent of blood from his den, scrambling out of his nest and slinking out of his den to see if there was a problem. Upon seeing Emberstar sitting by Onyxpaw's body, he nodded in understanding, turning back and grabbing some herbs. A few heartbeats later, he emerged from the den once again, setting down his bundle of herbs, picking out some sweet-smelling flowers and nudging some thyme and poppy seeds towards the leader. "I understand how you feel," he murmured softly, pushing the herbs closer. "Now, eat these. It'll be alright."

The tom nodded slowly, dipping his head to his son in thanks. He took the thyme and poppy seeds, taking his time to eat both. "Starclan is taking too many souls too early.." He murmured under his breath, his voice cracking with grief. He sighed deeply,
shutting his eyes to gain his composure. "We should move her, before Tumblekit wakes up. A commotion from the waking warriors may cause her to walk out of the nursery and I- ... I don't think a kit should see this." He met Hollythorn's gaze, understanding that the tom cared greatly for Tumblekit.

"Of course. Let's... let's get her out of here." The medicine cat buried his muzzle in the apprentice's fur, grabbing onto her scruff to lift her. He dipped his head towards Emberstar, pointing with his tail towards the parts of the body he couldn't lift. He flicked an ear in the direction of the camp's exit, careful with his movements to not make any loud noise that might wake someone.

Despite the cats efforts to be quiet mosswish slowly rose up from her den. Bad dreams still were fading away as the tastes and sounds left her. As she quickly rose up, a shroud of dread fell over the cat when the smell didn't disappear. As she slid out if the warriors den, still shaking off sleep, she saw onyxpaw and inhaled sharply. Very quietly, she mumbled out "what happened this time..?" Her heart hurt for the apprentice, but the exhaustion if the loss of her own kit had worn out the she cat.

Blastclaws
He padded out of the warriors den. His eyes caught a glimpse of his daughter. Her body limp. His eyes fixed on Emberstar and Hollythorn. He bit back a wail as he realized that his worst nightmare had become true again. He padded over. "Oh onyxpaw,"he whispered. "I should have been there to protect you..."

Snooping so abstaining for now))
