went back with his body, presenting it to the devastated leader and deputy. Badgerfrost and Minnowpaw thoroughly-
checked his body, and found it was forcefully drowned; his paws were ridden with injuries, but nobody could tell exa
ctly as his fur was frozen and his body was stiff, not a trace of life. "Actually, this may or may not be a murder." Cher
rystar and Blizzardleap heard enough, and the decision was made. "We'll have to set up an exile, Cherrystar." "Agreed
, Blizzardleap. If there is a chance there is someone who is willingly killing us, within our ranks, then we must give th
e public relief and possibly fix the problem." Badgerfrost and her apprentice looked at each other for a moment, but
they nodded as well. "We shall have a vote." Silence engulfed the whole of the camp, but soon enough, Blizzardleap-
began to meow. "I vote for Flypelt." A few seconds later, Puddlepounce, nearby her kits, raises her voice. "I believe it
is Swiftcloud. I'm almost certain." Flypelt joins in. "Swiftcloud!" Lillykit also yowls. Shadowstripe as well. Shadekit. No
w, the whole of RiverClan is chanting Swiftcloud's name. The tom looks afraid, cowering backwards.
"The public has decided." This time, Badgerfrost meowed. "Cherrystar." she signalled in a minisucle display of grief. -
Solemnly, the leader points towards him. "I'm sorry, Swiftcloud." she darkens. She didn't know something like this wo
uld ever happen. Blizzardleap and the two medicine cats shares her sad gaze. The whole of the Clan blames Swiftcl
oud. What motive does he have..? Swiftcloud finally speaks. "I.. why.. I don't understand." his ears flatten against hi
s head, and he can no longer even bear to speak. The tom shakes as all eyes are glaring at him. "But.. but.." he tries
to step away, only to be greeted by a barage of insults from the crowd. He closes his eyes shut, and runs out of cam
p. Swiftcloud begins to roll down the side of a hill, anxiety filling his every pawstep. He falls down towards Shadow
Clan territory, and blacks out.

Eyes begin to creak open. Swiftcloud expects the familiarity of his moss den, but there's only darkness and a tall pine
tree, gargantuan in size. The white tom looks at the ground, moving his head. When he does, he's greeted by someone
familiar."Hey, Swiftcloud. I don't believe it was you." the shadow speaks. "Trust me, Swiftcloud. I don't want to h
urt you."
"Join me."

The Kill wrote:Hollyclaw parted with her friend, Mossflight, before heading off to the other side of the warrior's den for a quick alone time; Hollyclaw liked the cold. Or at least, more so than some members of her Clan. The she-cat mumbled to herself about prey before feeling the snow get to her, so she stood herself up in desperation in order to get some warmth. The leaf-bare was unforgiving after all. Unchanged. Hollyclaw closed one eye, and when she opened them, another cat was standing in front of her. "Hollyclaw, hello." The molly jumped up in surprise, flattening her ears and arching her back. Her eyes narrowed as the cat in front of her let out a concealed purr. Hollyclaw found it unusual that they were out here, but nonetheless it was worth a shot to ask for herself. "What are you doing out? I thought you wouldn't like the cold." "I can see you didn't take too well either?" The cat smugly replied, earning a slightly impressed-yet-ticked off look. "You think you're the best, hmm?" Hollyclaw meowed. "I thought cats such as yourself wouldn't be so playful. Then again, you weren't ever playful to begin with."
The two cats sat by each other for a moment in silence, and then Hollyclaw made the first move. "I think you should go back to your den." she said, though not much confidence was heard, as it was blended with awkwardness. The murderer nodded, but didn't obligate. "Let's go outside, outside." the she-cat looked in discomfort, but decided it was harmless enough. She followed the killer right into her snare. The forest path was dark and scary, but Hollyclaw wasn't someone to think of these situations as 'scary' or 'not discerning' because there wasn't much evidence to say that this other cat was some evil entity, because Swiftcloud had been the killer... until she saw Swiftcloud. "Wh.. the murderer.. Swiftcloud.. he's here! We need to run!" Hollyclaw shouted, anger within her every step, wide-eyed and hectic. The killer turned around, looking innocently as their companion ran away from them. The murderer smiled, and stepped forward. "Hollyclaw. Do you agree that you can make RiverClan a better place?"
"What. No! RiverClan's perfect the way it is. Run, now!" she had her concerned meow. "I see." they replied, the smile twisting away bitterly. "Let's go, then." Hollyclaw was chased down by the killer, pinned on the side of the road, her head sticking out towards the middle. A monster's roar came near, the blaring engine's noise growing louder. "I.. I trusted you. I thought you weren't bad. I thought you.. you.." It all went dark.
