nectarpaw shook his head, beginning to tear up. “i-i don’t know, she’s gone, gone!” he wailed. The look on the dead cats face was fearful, and nectarpaw looked away quickly. the tom turned around, tears in his eyes, to face applesnow. “oh, applesnow, thunderclan is dying! we’re doing!” he cried. “it’s a real-life nightmare!”

This was the first time she'd woken up early since it started happening.

The spunky she-cat had been infamous amongst the Clan for being able to sleep through anything, even the deaths of her Clanmates.

Was this a sign? Maybe that they were safe? She decided to roll with it. The small she-cat shook her pelt and left the warrior's den, only to be met with wails coming from the forest. She flicked her tail, carefully masking her growing fear with annoyance. "Who kicked this time?" She growled to no one in particular.

If her Clanmates wouldn't stay strong, she would. She wouldn't let the foxheart see how shaken she truly was.

She couldn’t think straight.

She wasn’t sure if the scream she heard was the remains of her consistent nightmares or actually happening.

She hoped it was the nightmares.

She woke out of the camp once more and smelled Applesnow and Nectarpaw. And Waspfeather. The warrior’s scent was the stalest.. so she figured that she was the next victim. She stopped in her tracks.

Why keep walking if she knew what to find?

Whoops that sounds dark

"We're- we're going to make it through this, Nectarpaw," Applesnow stammered, at a loss of words. She padded forward, even if she didn't want to get closer to the body - but this was what she had to do. She rested her head on Nectarpaw's head for a brief moment, giving him a gentle, reassuring lick to calm the distraught apprentice.
"Listen, Nectarpaw," she added sternly, making eye contact with him. If they were going to make it through this, she had to be strong, too. "It'll be okay. We'll find the killer, punish them, and make sure they never show their flea-ridden face again. They won't ever hurt anyone again, and we'll be safe."
With a sigh, she gently nosed under Waspfeather's limp body, trying to ignore the terrible acrid scent of burned fur and flesh. Death and betrayal hung heavy in the air. She eased the corpse onto her shoulders, but found her skinny legs no use to support the full weight she was about to take on. Pushing and carrying not one, but two heavy bodies in the past few days had led to sore muscles and legs that could barely support her own weight - not to mention carrying the cleaned bodies out of camp for burial, now that Caimantooth was gone.
"Let's bring her back to camp. Nectarpaw, could you help me?"

I usually abstain until I have enough evidence that I'm sure it's a cat, but maybe it'd be more helpful to vote before it's too late?

Lemonleaf

But I have to help.

She saw Applesnow and Nectarpaw attempting carrying Waspfeather’s body, but she stepped in and lifted the corpse on herself. She knew that Applesnow had carried dead warriors before, and Nectarpaw was still an apprentice. Maybe she couldn’t comfort cats, but she could help with the vigils for the dead.

But she caught a glimpse of Applesnow’s eye as she nodded to let her know that she could take Waspfeather, and something told her to keep her guard in her.

She didn’t know what it was, but her suspicions were rising on the medicine cat.

(Applesnow)

nectarpaw listened to applesnow, nodding determinedly as he attempted to hide his tears. the apprentice started to walk over towards applesnow to help before he heard approaching pawsteps. nectarpaw jumping, whirling around before he noticed it was lemonleaf who walked straight towards applesnow to help. nectarpaw let his neck fur lay flat before looking at lemonleaf nodding to applesnow. the tom caught a glimpse of suspicion flash in the mute mollies eyes.
she thinks it’s applesnow!
the apprentice shot the warrior an angry look before dropping behind with applesnow as they began to leave. the toms mind whirled with thoughts. he just couldn’t picture their medicine cat possibly committing these murders. applesnow isn’t to blame, he decided. he had his own suspicions, and applesnow certainly wasn’t one of them.

She smiled at Lemonleaf, grateful for the help once again. All this stress and physical challenge recently had worn down on her, as if she were a stick holding fire. The first kill had come as a terrible shock to the Clan, hotter than a scorching fire. Each kill had worn them down a bit more, the fire hungrily and ravenously reducing them to no more than just a burnt, shriveled stub. The very thought sent a shiver through her body.
But - what was that? She caught a gleam of suspicion in Lemonleaf's eyes. Unease. Did she really think it was her?
As she finally set the body down in the center of the camp, she lifted her chin and locked eyes with Lemonleaf.

"Lemonleaf -" she began helplessly, her voice breaking. "Do you- do you suspect me? Do you really think it's me?"

She wasn't sure if she should be angry or not. A few days ago, she may have been angry if her Clanmates had accused her, but now? She could understand why she'd be accused, especially how she always unfortunately happened to be the one to discover the bodies. At this point, literally any cat in the Clan could be the killer; she was one of the 11 left, anyways.
