Minnowpaw scampered after Frostbelly and Littlepaw, torn between excitement at being invited to train with Littlepaw so far from camp and anger at Frostbelly's comment.
"Push me over? I'll show him," she muttered to herself; she wasn't entirely sure what that meant, but saying it made her feel better anyway. As they approached closer to the Thunderpath, Minnowpaw dropped back to walk beside Littlepaw - to talk with him, of course, and not because the loud noises frightened her.
"Someone got up on the wrong side of the den," she murmured distractedly, flicking her tail towards Frostbelly. Normally she'd put a little more energy into her small talk, but a familiar smell she couldn't quite place was bothering her (like home, but wrong), and between the strange scent and jarring sounds, her thoughts felt sticky and slow, like blood oozing sluggishly through a cobweb that needed changing.

Dusk was beginning to fall as Harrierstar called all cats to the Highrock. "I have some unfortunate news... Blueleaf is dead. We sent out a patrol once we began to realize she wasn't back. We found her body in the same place Goldray was attacked."
You want a revolution?
A voice rang out from the crowd, loud but fearful.
"May-Maybe it was a murderer!"
Cries of assent slowly but surely began to follow.
Harrierstar protested, "Now, it could just be the badger agai-"
"No!" Ocelotstep yowled. "Because I know who it is!"
I want a revelation!
The clan seemed unpleased. Fear had turned them into little more than a mob. "How do we know you're not trying to shift the blame?" "Yeah!"
More voices added themselves to the chatter until Harrierstar's brain felt overloaded.
"ENOUGH!" He took a deep breath. "Although I will miss my sister... If it's what everybody insists upon, it must be done. Ocelotstep, leave this clan. Please... Don't come back. I give my cats permission to kill you on sight if you're here after sunrise tomorrow. Also, Skyheart will be my new deputy, and take over mentoring Minnowpaw."
Ocelotstep sighed, huffing, "You don't know what you're in for..."

The clan seemed satisfied.

Was that the right choice, Thunderclan? You seem to have chased out your other witness...

It was a new day, and Harrierstar called a clan meeting. He announced that it was time for two apprentices, who had done well in training, to become warriors. Namely, Wolfpaw and Minnowpaw. The two apprentices became Wolfscar and Minnowfur, respectively. What was unspoken was the clear reality- the new warriors were truly still too young, and Harrierstar was using this as an excuse to raise clan spirits. Of course, it was doomed to fail.

After the ceremony, cats were allowed to chat for a short time and congratulate the new warriors. The killer pulled Pebbleshine aside. "You know, Pebbleshine?" they asked, "Maybe you should be out tonight. Just to make sure Wolfscar and Minnowpaw are safe tonight. You know they're still young... what if they get hurt? But you probably should hide. You don't want to hurt their feelings, either."
Pebbleshine nodded. "You're right. What if the killer comes again?"
"Exactly."

And thus, their trap was set.
01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01101001 01110100 00100000 01110100 01100001 01101011 01100101 01110011
The killer had to hand it to Pebbleshine- she was possibly the most ornery warrior ever. Always getting so snippy about little things- so she would make a fine next target. That night, they lay in wait, concealed perfectly in a bush near the camp. They watched as Pebbleshine strolled out of camp through a back entrance, looking worriedly around the area. Now, it was time for action. They exited the bush, heading away from camp. They had practiced this before in daytime, when nobody was paying attention again, so they knew exactly the steps of their path. Taking care to stay upwind of Pebbleshine, they made their way toward a cliff, stepping just loudly enough for her to hear and try to follow. But the killer knew their way in the night by now. Pebbleshine didn't. This was the perfect way- no fighting, just a quick and easy kill.
01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01101001 01110100 00100000 01110100 01100001 01101011 01100101 01110011
The killer headed up towards a steep cliff, then carefully picked their way down it, then loudly mewed. Pebbleshine should be running towards the sound. And it worked- above them, they watched Pebbleshine run straight off the cliff, then terrifiedly drop past them onto the rocky ground below. They continued down the cliff, then felt Pebbleshine's body. No movement or pulse whatsoever. Perfect.
01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01101001 01110100 00100000 01110100 01100001 01101011 01100101 01110011
They quietly made their way back to camp, stopping to wash their paws off in a stream and dry them in some soft moss. Their dream was coming true.

Another warrior bites the dust. Can you take any more, Thunderclan?

Minnowfur sat unblinking next to her brother, as she had done all night. She was tired to the bone, and the death of her mother weighed on her, as heavy and foreign has her new name.
Minnowfur.
It was all she'd ever dreamed of, but how she wished she'd dreamed differently. She would have preferred her apprenticeship last a thousand moons if only it would mean her mother could be present for it; even with the knoweldge that her mentor had been her mother's murderer.
Minnowfur shuddered, and turned to Wolfpaw- no, Wolfscar. She had to remember that he was no longer her denmate who she'd playfight in the nursery, or an apprentice with whom she'd compete to see who could catch the most mice. He was a warrior now, and so was she; so she turned away, so he would not see her fear or her grief.
She was too old for comfort from her littermate, but she could not help but crave it. Vigil complete as the first rays of sunshine dotted the sky, she stood and stretched, hoping that finding some other warriors to talk to might make her feel more ready, more worthy of her new role in the clan.

Darkkit shifted restlessly in the nest he shared with Cypresskit. Sighing, he yawned and got to his paws, padding out. "Hi Minnowfur, Wolfscar!" He meowed, trying to stay cheerful, despite what had happened to their mother.

Minnowfur glanced up as Darkkit approached.
"Hey Darkkit," she mewed gently, padding forwards to touch noses with the kit. It scared her a little, with Darkkit so young and Blueleaf gone: who would look after him and Cypresskit? Would they even remember their mother, by the time it came to their warrior ceremonies? She could not help feel a little jealous of his high spirits when her own doubts and fears were clouding her mind, but she did her best to move past her bitterness.
"Are you alright? It must be quiet in the nursery, without-"
She cut herself off, realising too late that a reminder of Blueleaf's absence was the last thing he needed.
"Do you want to walk with me a while? It can be like practice for when you're an apprentice and I'm a mentor!"
And what's more, she thought to herself, I don't want to leave you by yourself; I don't think I could bear to lose another family member.

harrierstar was curled up in his den, tail wrapped around his head. he didn't really feel like getting up. ocelotstep... he didn't want to believe his sister had killed one of her own clanmates. he didn't want to admit that he felt the murderer was still among them. it couldn't have been ocelotstep. why did i let them make me exile her? harrierstar shut his blue eyes and stayed in his nest for a while more before forcing himself to go down into the clearing. he felt like something, no matter how small, was missing. he wanted to fill that gap in his heart, even if it could never fully be filled. he could move on. yes, he liked that idea.
xxso he went to the fresh-kill pile and picked up a mouse. if one of his loved ones was gone now, maybe he could fall back on a more former one. it had been a while, but harrierstar felt confident. he approached the medicine den, setting the mouse on the ground and softly calling "gingerfrost?"

The first thing Frostbelly did when he woke up was shift himself over to look down at his sister. Oh, Skyheart, he'd thought, although if one had asked he'd deny it. How I envy you. He would admit, though, that Skyheart had proven to be quite a capable warrior in the past. She was strong, diligent, and cared so much for her Clanmates. As much as Frostbelly would boast and boss other cats around, he wasn't exactly fit for any type of high-ranking position. Still, that didn't stop him from wanting to be in his sister's place. Perhaps it wasn't worth losing her or Ocelotstep to get it, though. Sure, Ocelotstep may have been a murderer, but for a while, Frostbelly had believed her to be a fair deputy and thought she would eventually be a fine leader. He crouched himself down and hung his head, sighing. His breath gently stirred Skyheart's fur. Maybe waking Littlepaw up could wait a little while longer.
