last moon
A lot of wails had been heard from BearClan cats. But the one that streamed from Blackbriar’s mouth was one to make every cat dip their head in grief.
“No!” She wailed “Heronstep, no!” She buried her face in her son’s pelt, her three remaining kits by her side. Bisonclaw was there too, tail entwined with Applebee’s. Pipersnap looked to Mossbounce sympathetically, rubbing their mother’s back as they mourned their brother.
Owlshade grieved quieter. Ravencloud’s crippled body was rearranged to look natural, but the young tom could still see where his mother had hit the rocky bottom of the ravine. Ryetail pressed herself against her mate, but Darkfang was nowhere to be seen.
Ashtail just stared at his son. Cinderpaw was sure that he must have run out of tears, but there was a steady stream trickling down his cheek as he looked at the waterlogged Lightningpaw. Thistlewing sat behind her father, but distanced herself. Ratwhisker sat beside his friend, murmuring encouraging words into his ear. Rabbitpaw wasn’t looking at her littermate. Instead, she glared at Fallenwing, who was sitting emotionlessly against the wall of camp. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he was involved in this ‘tragedy’. She didn’t know how right she was.

this moon
Ratwhisker scooped Sharpkit up in his paws and tried to drag her closer to him. The she-kit hissed and sunk her teeth into his arm.
“Ow!” He seethed “Sharpkit, you need a bath! You fell into a mud puddle earlier, you stink!”
“You’re just jealous.” The she-kit huffed, squirming away “This mud makes my fur look pretty, and yours is just bland.”
“You can hardly see the mud.” Sagekit snorted, prodding his sister “Your fur is always that nasty color.” The she-kit stuck her tongue out.
“At least I can be seen at night!”
“That’s a good thing?” Sagekit meowed, tilting his head “I dunno, I like being sneaky.”
“Guys, come on, just be nice and get bath time over with.” Shovelerkit yawned “It’s past my nap time.”
“You just woke up, like, three hours ago.” Sagekit scoffed.
“So?” Shovelerkit eyed him.
“Alright, gang.” Ratwhisker chuckled “As soon as Sharpkit gets clean, you can go do whatever you like. I know Beaverkit is in the elder’s den talking to Deerleap. You could go join them.” Sharpkit’s eyes lit up and instantly bounced over to the tom, settling in for the grooming session. Once she was clean, she immediately bolted towards the elder’s den.
“I’m going to sleep.” Shovelerkit announced and marched over to Ratwhisker, plopping down beside him and nestling into his side.
“I guess I’ll go annoy Quillpaw and see what she’s up to, since y’all are boring and dad’s still having a mental breakdown.”
“Sagekit.” Ratwhisker warned “Be nice to Stormfang.” Sagekit just muttered and slunk away.
“Tough crowd.” A voice laughed from beside the warrior.
“Oh, good afternoon, Maplepaw!” Ratwhisker purred “What’s up?”
“Well, I actually wanted to talk to you about something.” The blind tom settled down and swallowed. “I know I’m taking my warrior assessment this moon, but I don’t really think I’m fit to be a warrior.”
“Maplepaw,” Ratwhisker sighed “You can do anything. Just because you’re blind doesn’t mean-”
“No!” The apprentice gasped “No, no that’s not what I mean! I know I could be a warrior if I wanted to. I just...I admire what you’re doing; helping out kits without mothers. I’ve decided I want to be a nursery helper too! I don’t want to be a medicine cat, but I don’t want to be a fighter. I want to help cats, not hurt them. And I adore kits so much. I might not be able to see them, but I know how precious they are. I want to help those who don’t have a mother, or even those kits whose mother is in a different clan.”
“That’s very admirable of you, son.” Ratwhisker beamed “Have you talked to your parents about this?” The apprentice nodded.
“Hickorywind was a bit skeptical at first, but Hollypounce was excited for me, so he eventually told me to do whatever makes me happy.” He purred “I just haven’t spoken to Elmstar. Plus I thought I’d better talk to you first.”
“Well I’d be thrilled to have you!” Ratwhisker purred “I’ll have a word with Elmstar while you’re out doing your assessment.” Maplepaw laughed with joy.
“Thank you so much!” He gasped, smiling wide “I won’t let you down!”
“I don’t doubt it.” Ratwhisker assured “No go on, I think Ricecub is waiting for you.”

Vulturecrest walked silently through the forest trail. Elmstar followed elegantly behind him. Luring her out into the forest was easy. She always told her clanmates that she was willing to listen to any problems. All the warrior had to do was ask for a walk, and she followed. The warrior couldn't help but feel excited. Sootmask’s plan would finally be put in place. Vulturecrest tried to hide the bounce in his step, but he was bursting with joy to see his friend again. He did have to admit, though, he had rather enjoyed his time in BearClan. Part of him felt bad for them, but Sootmask was right; what his brother did was terrible and needed settling. Suddenly, Vulturecrest realized he had reached his destination, and stopped abruptly.
“What did you want to talk about?” The leader asked, offering a nice smile and sitting.
“Actually, there’s someone I wanted you to meet.” Vulturecrest meowed. Elmstar was confused, but had little time to process the request before a lithe, sooty tom slunk out from the brush.
“Very well done, Vulturecrest.” He purred silkily, rubbing his flank against the warrior’s “I knew I could trust you.” Vultrecrest smiled warmly and puffed out his chest in pride.
“What is this?” Elmstar demanded, hopping to her feet and flattening her ears.
“Don’t fight it.” He advised. The stranger unsheathed his claws and pounced with a snarl. He tackled the leader and sunk his teeth into her throat before she could make a move, tearing her neck and ripping the life from the she-cat’s body.
Sootmask flung Elmstar’s body in the middle of camp. There were cries as cats took notice, and Redfin rushed to his mate.
“Who are you?” He demanded, standing over Elmstar protectively “What have you done?” Sootmask gave a sharp grin, chin fur still stained with the leader’s blood. He let out a low chuckle and motioned for Vulturecrest to walk beside him. The two toms approached the trembling leader and snarled at Redfin to back up. He did, reluctantly, and Sootmask pressed his paw against Elmstar’s temple.
“I’ve proved my dominance over your leader.” He shouted “BearClan is mine to lead now.” Several gasps and whispers were exchanged.
“You can’t just do that.” Tickstripe spat, getting ready to charge the cats, but Elmstar held him back.
“Why are you doing this?” She rasped, her throat wound starting to heal. Sootmask looked around to examine the clan. His eyes rested on Ashtail, who was staring in disbelief. Anger rose in the rogue’s gut.
“You want to know why I’m doing this?” He asked sarcastically “It’s because of him!” He lashed his tail in the direction of Ashtail.
“Um,” Vulturecrest whispered “T-That’s Ashtail. Cindertail was his dad.” Sootmask clenched his jaw and gave a deadly stare at his companion. Vulturecrest nodded and took a step back.
“My name is Sootmask.” The tom announced “Cindertail was my half brother. He abandoned our family and joined you wild beasts.”
“Wasn’t his father a murderer?” Ashtail argued.
“It was an accident! And he changed.” Sootmask barked “That fluff-brain had it coming to her anyways. Cindertail gave up on his family. It was my father’s last wish that he would get revenge; and now, every single one of you is going to pay.”
~~~
Thistlewing dug her claws into the ground.
“You’ve taken this too far, Fallenwing.” She hissed at her brother, who was standing at the other side of the forest clearing. “You...You killed Lightningpaw! How could you? What has gotten into you?”
“Nothing!” He hissed back “Nothing about me has changed, Thistlewing! Besides, how would you know? It’s not like you care about me.” Thistlewing laughed.
“Don’t be so thick-skulled.” She scoffed. Fallenwing growled and launched himself at her, pinning her down in the dirt.
“You abandoned me!” He cried, pressing his paw to her throat “You left me alone, Thistlewing! You promised you’d never do that!”
“Fallen-” She croaked, but her brother pressed his paw harder against her throat. The she-cat was trying to gasp for breath. She squirmed beneath the strong tom, kicking at her brother’s belly.
“You promised!” He screeched again. Thistlewing couldn’t breath. Desperate, she flung her legs against his stomach, ripping him off and throwing him across the clearing. Everything seemed to slow as Fallenwing soared over the ground, tumbling and crashing against a stone, hitting his head before lying still.
Fallenwing grunted as he rolled onto his side, shaking his head to get rid of the grogginess. The tufts of grass beneath his paws was not as coarse as the Dark Forest’s, but it wasn’t as soft as it should have been in the waking world. He looked around and realized he was staring at a fuzzy barrier; one he had not seen before. It whispered and called to him, and he couldn’t resist its pull. He rose to his paws and touched his nose to it.
A light devoured the young tom. When he strained his eyes to focus, he found his surroundings unfamiliar. It was...bright. There was no sound, but the air just radiated comfort and peaceful warmth. There was no sound, and yet Fallenwing felt as if he was laying out on a hot greenleaf day. The warrior’s head was filled with confusion, but a group of shadowy figures cut through the dense fog to steal his attention. Instinctively, Fallenwing unsheathed his claws and widened his stance, getting ready for a fight. But he instantly relaxed when the leader of the group came into view.
“M...Mo…” He gasped, unable to comprehend and form words.
“Hello.” Hawksnow greeted formally, standing rigidly.
“I-”
“Hi, Fallenwing.” another voice interrupted bitterly. Lightningpaw was glaring at his brother. Fallenwing lashed his tail.
“What are you doing here?” He snarled.
“You killed me.” The apprentice stated simply “StarClan is where dead cats go, moron.”
“Hey.” Hawksnow warned, raising her tail.
“Mother.” Fallenwing grinned, not noticing that the she-cat flinched at the word “Are you proud of me? I avenged you by killing that pest. Though I do apologize for sending him up here for you to see him always.”
“Proud of you?” Hawksnow spat, eyes narrowing “You slaughtered your brother!” Fallenwing blinked in surprise, not expecting this reaction. “How dare you call me your mother? You...you beast!”
“B-But I did it for you-”
“Do you know how many she-cats die during kitting?” She continued “This wasn’t any different! There is no one to blame! Your brother, unlike you, was innocent! You let that-that atrocious villain get into your head. You are not my son that I loved. He’s dead; and you’re just the monster that replaced him.” Fallenwing’s legs felt numb. His chest splintered and shattered, leaving a cold emptiness in his heart.
“You don’t love me?” He breathed, voice barely above a whisper.
“Love you?” Hawksnow scoffed “I can hardly look at you. Our family’s been through enough pain, and you’re just an ignorant, gullible pawn in some mad-cat’s plan. You even tried to kill Thistlewing, the only cat you give a rat’s tail about. She’s the only one that looks up to you and adores you; and you’ve still pushed her away. When will you realize, Fallenwing. Viperstar has nothing to give you except for suffering and loneliness.”
“Shut up!” Fallenwing cried, slashing at her “You’re wrong!” He heaved a breath, tears welling at his eyes. “I’m doing all of this for our family! I’m keeping Thistlewing safe!”
“So you pin her to the ground and try to choke her to death?” Realization hit the warrior like a boulder.
“I...I tried to kill her.” He gasped, stumbling back “I...I have to get back. I have to make sure she’s okay!”
“She’s fine.” Hawksnow hissed “She’s better than you are; you’re passed out in Bumbleflight’s den with her at your side. I love Thistlewing but she’s an idiot for sticking by you. Get out of here, Fallenwing. I don’t even know why you showed up. You have no place among the stars.” With that, Hawksnow turned away and Fallenwing faded out of sight.
Ravencloud stepped forward from the background. She walked up to Hawksnow and sighed.
“I’m so sorry, my dear.” She whimpered “I’m so sorry that brute got to your son. I should have done something-”
“There was nothing you could do, Ravencloud.” Hawksnow assured her, rubbing her cheek against the older she-cat’s shoulder. “You can’t control Viperstar; and you out of all of us know how ruthless he can be.” At that moment, two kits bounded up to Ravencloud.
“Mama!” A small, solid black tom chirped “Can we go climbing?”
“Shadowkit, you know how I feel about you going off alone.” Ravencloud sighed.
“But we won’t be alone!” The second kit added, her fluffy silver fur bristling with excitement “Astercry and Grousecall are going to take us!” Ravencloud furrowed her brow, but eventually nodded.
“Alright.” She conceded. The two kits bounced up and down. “But, Featherkit, you need to remember to take it slow, alright? I don’t want you falling again, even if you won’t get hurt.” Featherkit and Shadowkit nuzzled their mother’s legs.
“We’ll be safe, mama. I promise.” The she-kit purred, before nudging her brother and running off.
“They’ve missed you.” Hawksnow hummed, watching the two kits fade away “They ask every cat who arrives in StarClan if they know you and how you’re doing.”
“It’s a shame to be away from BearClan.” Ravencloud mused “But I’m so glad to have my family back. Viperstar took them from me; I finally got them back. I can finally put all of that behind me and enjoy my existence without him.” Hawksnow grinned and pressed herself happily against her friend.
“I totally get it.” She sighed “But it’s not over yet. He’ll get what’s coming to him, but we have to wait.”
“I know.” Ravencloud nodded “But I don’t want to see what he has planned. I’m afraid for the Clan.” Hawksnow took a deep breath.
“Me too.”
