 PinepawAre you alive, or not?✓┏━━━━━━━━━┓✗
- . _. I dunno where I was going with this.-
[My eyes followed in sudden alarm at the heaving and rather decrepit form of Lavenderstar, supported by Rabbitfoot and Puresun entered camp and hobbled into the Leaders Den, along with Hauntedheart who quickly followed after them. Oh... What had happened? Not exactly what in literal sense, I understood that she had been going through a rather bad bout of greencough and she had not been in good health to start with, but simply what had gone on back there? My ears flicked back in worry and agitation at the thought Lavenderstar. How many lives did she have again? 4? 6? 7? Dear Starclan, it wasn't 1, was it? I got to my paws and looked at the Leaders den, pining to go check but did I want to catch what she has? And am I really considered a senior warrior?]
[ I let out a disdainful breath of air and sat back down. Of course I didn't and I wasn't. I let out a soft snort, twitching my nose and trying to find something else to concentrate on. A familiar scent touched my nose and I swung my head over to stare wide-eyed at the nursery, watching as Rainblast came out accompanied by... my new relatives. Ah.]✗┗━━━━━━━━━┛✓Is there nothing in your head?

·۰•●○● Too Fast to Live ... ►[A content purr escaped her smooth lips. She blinked in joy and nodded, following her brother with smooth paw-steps. As she walked she bobbed her head from one side to the other, humming a gentle tune. The thought of a meal caused her mouth to water. She loves to eat and Lionfur knows it very well himself. Well...at least that's what she thinks. She finds it embarrassing, that's why Blossomstream only finds it comforting to eat with Lionfur, alone. When it comes to meeting others, she stutters and gets shy. A very bad habit of hers. But that's her shyness taking control of her very lips.
Lionfur's talk of a story caused her fur to stand with glee. Her insides were fluttering with excitement. Those gorgeous pair of green eyes wide and gleaming under the scarce ray of sunlight. Her smooth fur now spiked like a porcupine, making her look puffy.] "Oh joy! I love a good story brother!" Blossomstream squeaked, following Lionfur with skips.
[They arrived at camp and Blossomstream was about to reach for a chubby mouse. Then something concerned the she-cat. Her eyes looked up at Lionfur as he held the blossom in his teeth. The she-cat's right ear twitched as she followed her brother hesitantly. Stumbling from here and there, she caught up to her brother. She pressed her chest against her brother's fur and stayed behind him. Shyly, she peeked her eyes over to spot the blossom between Lavenderstar's paws. Her leader was in a bad state, she could tell. However her shyness prevented her from speaking any words of comfort. Even to her leader. The close presence of her dear brother calmed her, hoping everything would be okay. From her perspective, everything seemed innocent and nothing was wrong. Ever. But the events she witness before her will prove that wrong.]

 .:Name:. .:Clan position:. .:Current mood:.

[Rabbitfoot's head turned at the new voice. He blinked, his eyes wide for a moment. He coughed slightly, racking his brain for an answer.]
"I tried keepin' her in......"
[Rabbitfoot trailed off, staring hollowly at the black leader, who had begun panting now. He stepped forward, putting one paw on her head for a moment. He retracted it almost immediately. She definitely had a fever, and a bad one at that. He scooted back once more, still staring at her emptily. His ears twitched. She was dying. He didn't particularly like her, but still.....she was dying.
He glanced somewhat desperately out the entrance of the leader's den, peering back at the medicine cat den. He blinked, shaking his head slowly. If she was asking for Foxfur at a time like this, then it must have meant that even she knew herbs wouldn't save her now. He stared at the ground with a look similar to irritation at that thought. If she was actually thinking like that.....then did she even care if she died? Would she not strive to survive?! What a coward!
Rabbitfoot looked up at the sound of a voice, blinking confusedly. His pale gray eyes stared levelly at a golden-pelted tom for one split moment. His ears flickered slightly as the warrior turned around, padding back to where his seat had been when Lavenderstar had come back; next to Blossomstream. His eyes fell to the ground, resting on what Lionfur had left. He stared at the flower; a somewhat large, pink blossom that was slightly damp. He blinked and couldn't help but smile at the gift. Right. Lavenderstar the hope and support of not just her deputy or her daughter; she had a whole Clan rooting for her, and maybe even StarClan. She couldn't afford to give up!
Rabbitfoot looked back up toward where Lionfur had retreated, catching the golden-furred tom staring in anticipation back at the den. He gave him an encouraging smile [which was rare for him] before limping back in the den. He quietly dropped the flower just outside her nest, sitting down. He coughed lightly, clearing his throat.]
"Lionfur hopes you get better, ya know. The rest of 'em, they're rootin' for ya too,"
[he murmured, pushing the pink blossom within her line of view. The leader could only manage a slight grunt and a weak, yet warm smile. She coughed shallowly, looking up at Rabbitfoot with unfocused eyes.]
"Rabbitfooh, dun say such sad 'ings 'o me; I already know m' fate,"
[she slurred, barely coherent.
Rabbitfoot stared almost sternly down at the feverish she-cat. He had to resist the temptation to smack the she-cat, instead snapping at her.]
"Don't say that, you idjit; that kind o' talk's fo yellow-bellied lizards that hide 'emselves under rocks! Ya got'a Clan to lead; they're waitin' for ya. You ain't allow'd to give up quite yet! You can't disappoint them!"
[he growled heatedly, his naturally bristly tail lashing behind him. This had been exactly why he had doubted her leadership even as an apprentice! Such weak talk coming from a cat who was supposed to be well-respected and lead a Clan? To be so weak as to let something as trivial as sickness take her out? She had survived the battle with the Star Slayers, for StarClan's sake! Why was she saying such things? Why now?! He trembled as his thoughts continued, his tail lashing the more he thought about it. She was a quitter! She was giving up, just like that! No! It was blasphomy!
It was unbelieveable and disappointing. Purely disappointing.] ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅

[Puresun watched her mother with worried eyes, a deeply discouraged look on her flat face.
What are we going to do?! she wanted to wail, but she kept her composure. There was no need to start unnecessary panic.
She nodded to Rabbitfoot and Hauntedheart, quickly dashing towards the nursery.
Although no one wanted to admit it, Lavenderstar was on her deathbed.
And for some reason, Puresun was horribly afraid it would be the last time she was so.]

Will you stand up and take your chance?XXX  "Chaos arises, blood will be spilt..."[Lavenderstar stared almost emptily up at the ceiling as the den went silent, counting the moments as she waited for Foxfur to come. Her ears twitched, Rabbitfoot's words echoing in her head. It had been the first time she had heard something like that out of him; usually he kept his words to himself, only showing the occasional glare. She felt a twinge of regret. It wasn't like she was giving up; they had to think realisticly. Not only had she went out of camp right after losing a life, not wasting time to recover, but she had greencough. Honestly, with the way she felt, she didn't feel safe calling it that anymore. It could have probably been classified as Blackcough by then. And cats died from blackcough. That was a fact.
[auto-ing, kekeke]
[A quiet, worried meow came from the entrance of the leader's den, making her ears twitch slightly. She could recognize the voice as Foxfur. She blinked, her ears flicking almost nervously. She was beginning to feel weaker.
As the ginger deputy sat down in front of her, she motioned Puresun to do the same. She looked first up at Foxfur, smiling weakly.]
"Foxfur, I think now would be an appropriate time to tell you that this is regrettably my final life. I lost my other one just earlier before I went out of camp,"
[she whispered hoarsely. She closed her eyes for a moment, wincing as another fit of coughing ravaged her throat. The metallic tang of blood was in her mouth again. She heaved a shallow, shaky sigh before continuing.]
"Foxfur, I am confident and positive that you will make a wonderful leader. Your loyalty to me and to NightClan solely is commendable, and I am happy that I chose you as deputy. I am sure you will make me proud to have been your predecess-,"
[Lavenderstar cut off, letting out more, choking, hoarse coughs. She panted as they passed, a slight whimper escaping her. She coughed once before she continued in a slightly quiet voice.]
"Predecessor. Don't second guess yourself too much, but make sure you ask for the input of your senior warriors. They're smart and will serve as a support if trouble arises,"
[Lavenderstar blinked, shutting her eyes again for a few moments. She could feel her energy slipping away. She struggled to reopen her eyes, but did, looking at her daughter. She smiled, lifting her head slightly to reach out, putting her muzzle against the calico's chest. She drank in the familiar scent for one long moment before she spoke.]
"Puresun, you have made me so proud,"
[she sighed airily. Her warm expression turned into one of sorrow before she continued.]
"I know that we've had our conflicts, but I want you to know that I love you, Puresun...."
[Lavenderstar trailed off, her eyes shutting for a long moment. It took effort to keep talking. She felt as if she just wanted to sleep for a moon. She struggled to keep her eyes open for longer. She smiled again, her eyes watering a little.]
""I sometimes wish that your kits were here now; I am sure that they would have been proud to have someone like you as a mother. I'm sure you would have been a better mother than someone.....like me,"
[she slurred, her eyes rolling slightly. She coughed weakly, trying to smile again. Her face wouldn't cooperate. She coughed weakly again, giving up on the smile.]
"I.....I'm sorry I wasn't always there for you as a mother when you were young....R......remember tha....-"
[Lavenderstar burst into another fit of coughing, only this one didn't sound like the others had. An odd whistling sound resounded from her chest as she coughed, more violently then she had before. Her surroundings were slowly being tinted red. Her vision blurred, making her heart almost skip a beat. She was growing steadily weaker, feeling her life ebb away. She blinked rapidly in an almost desperate way as she tried to focus on her daughter again. Almost immediately, her vision cleared. She hissed slightly, her eyes squinting slightly. WHy had her vision gotten better?
It was then she was aware of something twinkling, sitting behind Hauntedheart. A sweet, somewhat sorrowful smile had crossed the dark, yet shiny tom's face. Her heart almost cracked as she quickly recognized the tom. Her mate, who had died so many moons ago; before Puresun and Richmoon had even been born. He was there, ready to guide her to StarClan.
With a smile that would look distant to anyone else in the den other than her mate, she nodded her head weakly.]
"Nightpelt[or insert her real old mate's name], I'm ready,"
[the black colored leader whispered. Starry light glinted off the tom's teeth as he smiled a somewhat toothy, welcoming smile. The black leader's violet eyes slowly drifted closed, a slow, elongated sigh escaping her lips for the last time. The way that she had laid, she almost looked as if she had fell asleep, but the absence of her shallow breaths would tell the others otherwise. The leader was gone, quietly on her way to StarClan.]

[Puresun listened to her mother, eyes wide and terrified. She couldn't help but giggle hysterically at her mother's mentioning their past conflicts. She shook her head, face twisting with pain.]
"No, momma, you were the best," she whispered softly. "I was foolish to hide anything from you, to hurt you like that. I had no clue how understanding you'd be. I was afraid of myself..."
[Her throat choked as her mother coughed, eyes wide in panic.]
"No, momma, please!" she whispered desperately. "Don't talk. You don't have the strength. I'll be right here. You'll get better and then lead the Clan for moons to come!"
[Even as she spoke, she could visibly see her mother wilting before her, like a beautiful flower dying without light. Her chest seared with pain, and she began to whimper.]
"Please, momma," she begged, "don't leave me. I'll be your light, I'll be your sun! Don't..."
[Her words choked in her throat as Lavenderstar passed on. She felt her mother's spirit slip away, saw the light fade from her eyes.
Don't wilt! she begged silently.]
"Liar," she hissed at nobody in particular, eyes blurring with pain. "She has more lives. Plenty of lives! She's coming back as soon as StarClan takes this life. She'll come back again. She'll wake up, like she always does..."
[Her mother did not move. Puresun shoved past Rabbitfoot, burying her nose in her mother's sour-smelling fur.]
"Come back..." she moaned pitifully.
[Her mother did not move.
Puresun was a selfish cat. Every time her mother died, without a doubt, she knew her mother was returning.
She relished the fact that each time she saw her mother die, she saw her mother spring back to life.
That each time, her mother had cheated death, returning with healed wounds.
That each time was not her last.
Puresun was a selfish cat; she feared the day it was her mother's last.
A very selfish cat; Puresun's mother had died nine times and lived, while other mothers only died once. Her mother got every chance nine cats did not have.
And yet, she begged and cried just as sadly as if it was the first time her mother died.
What a selfish cat.
She cringed inwardly, shuddering. She didn't mean to hurt Foxfur by doing this and she hoped she wasn't; but this cat had been more than just her leader.
She had been her mother.
And no cat could ever replace or succeed that, not even if they died the same amount of times.
Puresun turned and sped out of the den, ripping towards the territory with a pained cry.
The sky was clear and beautiful, even with the chilly winds blowing across the swamp.
Puresun was a selfish cat; she wanted the skies to mourn her mother, to cry rivers of water that matched Puresun's heart.
She sped out of camp, heading someplace where she could be alone, her heart twisting and pulsating with grief and mourning.
What a selfish cat.]

[Rabbitfoot stared hollowly at the weakening leader as she spoke, first to Foxfur, then to her daughter. He blinked, not thinking anything in particular. He couldn't think. He didn't know what to think. Should he have been happy that NightClan was going to get a stronger leader that would lead them on to a bright future? Should he have been feeling remorse for not liking the leader in the first place? He was confused so he simply stared hollowly at her as she fluctuated between coughing and working to speak. His eyes trailed to the ground, a stoic look crossing his face.
The gruff-looking, brown tabby let a slight growl slip from him as Puresun shoved roughly past him, nearly knocking him over. His right paw instinctively flew out to balance himelf, but he soon learned to regret that. Almost immediately, pain shot through his paw and up his leg. He snarled, clenching his teeth in pain. His eyes narrowed harshly as he stared at the ground for a moment, his eyes watering for a moment as the pain pulsed through his paw. He breathed heavily, spitting obscenities through his teeth. THAT HURT! he thought angrily, still clenching his teeth.
A gust of wind blew through the den as the distraught daughter pelted out of the den. A pained, mournful cry echoed through the camp, soon fading as the warrior did, into the distance. Rabbitfoot simply gazed after her with a blank expression. As the cry echoed through the clearing, he was suddenly swamped with painful memories. That cry; it was similar to the one that had echoed through the nursery the night that the NightClan warriors had come back from the SeaCan battle. The battle that only his mother's body had come back, lifeless. His eyes watered for a moment, biting his lip as the feelings of anger, rage, horror, and loneliness swirled around in the pit of his stomach as it had all those many moons ago. He sighed, closing his eyes for a moment as the feelings soon faded away, leaving only one emotion. He growled. She had given up.
Rabbitfoot's head snapped back to stare at Lavenderstar's empty carcass, a look full of disgust crossing his face. He glared angrily, the claws in his good paw sinking into the ground.]
"You idjit!"
[he spat shakily at her as if she were still alive. He trembled, his eyes glaring.]
"Y-Your Clan needs you! Isn't that what I said?! You're the worst, just giving up like that! No! It can't be ov'r now! Why'd you give up like that? You quitter, you should've fought harder!"
[he snarled viciously, his teeth bared at the slowly-growing-cold body. He heaved heavy breaths as he glared heatedly at her, trembling. He growled.]
"Why did you have to go out of camp like that?! You only made it worse! I..."
[the brown tom trailed off, panting for a moment. The swirling, black pit of rage and resentment bubbling at the bottom of his belly soon faded, leaving a bad feeling deep inside of him. He shook slightly as unwanted thoughts slowly seeped into his mind. She had went out of camp, yes, but hadn't he been the one that let her go?]
"I should have stopped you...."
[he whispered hollowly. He stared unblinkly at his good paw. A small thought was voiced at the back of his mind, saying something; the last thing that he wanted to hear.]
I let her die.
[Rabbitfoot trembled slightly at this thought. No.]
I let her die.
[Rabbitfoot's trembling grew worse. No! It wasn't his fault. It couldn't be.]
I LET HER DIE.
[Rabbitfoot's head shot up, his fur standing on end. He stared at the body in disbelief, shaking uncontrollably.]
"No! It's not my fault! It....it was all 'er! She weak'n'd herself! It's not my fault!"
[Rabbitfoot whispered desperately, as if he was trying to convince himself more than anyone else. He trembled. Yes, she had brought it upon herself! If she had only listened, she wouldn't have been weak! ....Right?
Rabbitfoot snarled slightly louder this time.]
"Stupid.... She's an IDIOT!"
[he snarled. He quickly whirled around, staring at Hauntedheart for one, long moment.]
"I'm attending the Medicine Cat Gathering. You should conduct her vigil since you know her better than I do,"
[he growled roughly. Without another word, or even a last look at his former leader, he stalked out of the leader's den. He glared at the ground in front of him as he limped across the clearing in an obviously angry fashion. His naturally bristly tail, looking more bristly than usual, lashed behind him as he looked up with a hostile glare. Thoughts whizzed around the inside of his head haphazardly as he headed out of camp.]
Stupid....she's stupid.....Moronic quitter.......IT'S NOT MY FAULT!
[ooc:] Awww. Poor Foxfur didn't get a congratulations from either of them. Poor guy. D:

Foxfur
[Settling himself down in Lavenderstar's den, Foxfur somehow just knew these would be his final moments with her. His amber eyes grew wide with sadness and despair as her words reached him.
Please don't die, we still need you! he thought desperately.
Taking a shuddering breath, Foxfur watched his leader grow weaker and weaker, feeling his heart contract with sadness for Puresun. Foxfur had never really known his mother, but it still hurt when he thought of her. He couldn't imagine what it must be like for the she-cat. Foxfu was at a loss for words as his leader slowly passed away in front of him. This wasn't funny, she was probably just kidding around with them. Lavenderstar had been the one cat he looked up to for guidance, and now, now she was gone. She wasn't coming back]
"Lavenderstar.. No..." he whispered.
[Foxfur bowed his great head and felt his whole frame start to shake. This just wasn't fair! How could she be taken from them like this? Foxfur let out a quiet whimper, eyes clouding over. He already missed her immensely. Who was he supposed to look to for answers now? Who was the experienced cat he was supposed to run to when everything was falling a part?
That's you now, Foxfur. Everyone will be coming to you for answers because you're their leader now. You are the leader of NightClan so get your butt in gear, and go tell your Clan what happened. Lavenderstar is watching over you. She has faith in you, remember?
Foxfur sniffed and raised his head, determination flaring in his amber eyes. The Clan would be lost without their leader, so he would have to be a leader to them and show them the way. He could do that. He could. Nodding once, Foxfur pressed his nose to Lavenderstar's dark fur one last time, feeling emotion well up, threatening to overwhelm him. But he pushed it back down and swallowed]
"Watch over us, Lavenderstar"
[Rising to his paws, Foxfur turned and padded from the den, looking at all his Clanmates, his amber eyes and expression telling them all they needed to know. Pausing for a few moments, he nearly felt crushed under the pressure of what he was about to tell his Clanmates, his warriors. He took a deep breath and then leapt onto the Shadowstone, looking down at his Clanmates with a grim look on his face]
"May all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Shadowstone for a Clan meeting!"
[As his voice rang out through the camp, Foxfur was happy it did not crack or break, as he felt the true pressure and sadness threatening to overwhelm him. As his Clanmates came out, Foxfur looked at each of them, watching their expressions, heart clenching]
"Lavenderstar is dead."
[He paused for a few seconds to let the news sink in, hearing a collective gasp run through the crowd, a wail of anguish here and there]
"She died peacefully, and I am sure she is now watching over us from StarClan. No one could possibly ever replace her, she has done so much for us, and led us through the toughest times, from the beasts to the Slayers, her courage never failed. I know I'm not Lavenderstar, but I hope to do the same things she did, lead you well and make sure NightClan prospers. You all mean the world to me, as you are my Clanmates. You deserve nothing but the best, so I will strive to be the best. But that is enough of me, Lavenderstar deserves her time to be said goodbye too. Hauntedheart, please prepare her and bring her out here so we can all say our farewells together. Lavenderstar, you have seen us through so much, and I have no idea where we would've been without you. Please, do watch over us.
That is all,"
[Foxfur leapt down from the Shadowstone and sighed, wanting to just find Mudnose and curl up with her. But he couldn't. Turning towards her den, his den now, he awaited Hauntedheart to bring out her body, feeling as though he never wanted to say goodbye]

Hauntedheart hung her head slightly as her leader passed on but she could not bring herself to feel sorrow for the dead leader. She felt bad for Puresun, whom had just lost her brother, but she didn't feel bad that the leader died. At Rabbitfoot's words, Hauntedheart glanced up at her apprentice. She listened slightly, knowing Rabbitfoot had to get his anger out somehow. Watching him storm out, Hauntedheart narrowed her eyes slightly at his last statement towards her. There was no way she was staying here to sit vigil when she could be at Moonpool! Glancing at Foxfur, she grabbed teh dead leader's body by the scruff and pulled her out of the den. She caught the end of Foxclaw's speach and dropped Lavenderstar's body right where she was. Her eyes narrowed and she stared up at her new leader. She stepped away from the past leader's body, who she had hardly brought of out the den.]
"I have no wish to say goodbye to her. If you all want to sit vigil for her then do it yourself. I have a medicine cat gathering to attend," she hissed bitterly before turning around and padding out of camp.
[She quickly broke into a quick trot as she attempted to catch up with Rabbitfoot. She reached his side his quickly and glanced at him. It was clear he was still angry, not that she could blame him. She walked beside her apprentice in silence for a few moments, not wanting to disturb him. Ever since he had gotten his full name, he had grown into an excellent medicine cat. One that Hauntedheart would fully trust to leave the clan in when her time came. He was knowledgable but, like her, he didn't seem to like dealing with the surrounding cats. Not that Hauntedheart could blame him if that was the case. Some of their clanmates could be downright annoying and mousebrain when one of their friends or family was sick or injured. It was why Hauntedheart always made sure no uninjured or not sick cats could enter her den when she had a patient. It made everything much mroe peaceful. Turning her head back to the tom beside her, she sighed and flicked her tail as the pair walked toward the Moonpool.]
"It wasn't your fault. You did everything you could do and I'm very proud of you. I don't blame you for er leaving camp. That was Lavenderstar being a selfish, mousbrain, idiotic she-cat," she mewed, slightly bitter during her last setence. "Now, we have a Medicine Cat Gathering to get to. So lets go."
~ Hauntedheart to Moonpool ~
((Poor Foxfur. No congratulations from anyone. This simply isn't his day))╔════════════►☠◄════════════╗How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I’ve become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I’ve become
Frozen inside without your touch, without your love
Darling only you are the life among the dead
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something moreBring me to life╚════════════►☠◄════════════╝

[Mudnose's eyes widened in disbelief not only at Foxfur's news, but more because of the comment Hauntedheart had made. She...wasn't going to prepare her for the vigil? Was she serious?! She hissed disgustedly, her tail lashing.]
"How can you be so insensitive, you old bat?! She was our Leader, and yet you dare to disrespect her like this?!"
[she demanded, padding after Hauntedheart as she left. She growled, obviously irritated.]
"So a stupid crazy-cat convention is more important than your own leader, eh?! I hope StarClan won't let you hear the end of it when you get there! I hope they'll be as furious with you as I am! Hey! Get back here!"
[she yowled. She stopped at the edge of the camp entrance, watching as she walked away, obviously trying to catch up with Rabbitfoot. She spat furiously, her tail lashing. She was despicable. Almost everyone knew that ever since Cinderwing had been exiled, she had stopped showing respect for Lavenderstar, but who in their right mind would hold a grudge for this long?! It was stupid!
Mudnose sighed shakily and turned around, slowly padding back to sit next to Foxfur. Her slightly crooked tail wrapped around her paws as she sat down, leaning slightly against him. After a few moments, she spoke.]
"Are....are you going to be okay?"
[she asked hesitantly, looking up at her mate with still slightly shocked eyes. She couldn't even begin to imagine what he might have been feeling at that point. He had a Clan to lead now. They would depend on him more than ever now; so many responsibilities were being thrusted upon him now. At least when he was a deputy, he still had Lavenderstar for guidance!
She blinked, staring hard at the ground for a moment. That didn't matter. He had leader skills, so he would definitely make the right choices in the future. She fully believed that.
Looking up at Foxfur again, she managed a weak smile as a thought crossed her mind.]
"If you make a good father, then you'll definitely be a great leader,"
[she meowed encouragingly. That had to be true; Being a leader couldn't be too different than being a parent. After all, a parent's job was to guide their kit, and a leader's was to guide their Clan through bad times and good times and stuff like that. It made perfect sense to the queen.]

"I'll protect you until my last breath, and forevermore!"   ♋ G υ α я ɖ ɨ α и v o w ♋ "Memory is the treasury
and guardian of all things."_______________________________________________ [Guardianvow turned and watched with narrow eyes as Foxfur called a meeting. Where was Lavenderstar? Shouldn't she call the meeting?
An audible spat could be heard from him as Foxfur announced Lavenderstar had died.
Guardianvow was shocked and furious. His ears flatted and he spat again, shaking his head in disbelief.
He had a strangest feeling. It was almost as if he had picked Lavenderstar himself to be leader-and now, seeing her dead, made him feel hurt as if he had known her personally, when really she had only been his leader-no bond kept them together!
But he was used to these weird feelings of deja-vu. In any case, he was horribly sad to see her go. But he stared at Foxfur with narrowed eyes, twitching his nose, then after a moment he let out a nod.
At least she had chosen a good cat to follow in her steps.
For once, he agreed with the wily she-cat, Mudnose. He hissed after Hauntedheart, eyes narrowing with fury. How dare she? The she-cat was still sore about Lavenderstar banishing that no-good traitor who killed Darkshadow-and threatened to kill Guardianvow! Grudges were not for medicine cats!
He watched her leave with icy silver eyes, shaking his head. What a disgrace!
He padded forwards lowly, pressing his nose in Lavenderstar's body, then dragged her the rest of her way out of the den. He looked up at Foxfur with troubled eyes.]
"We will follow under your guidance, Foxfur." he murmured softly, no hint of arrogance or sarcasm in his voice. [He dipped his head with respect, flicking his tail.]
"Medicine cats are supposed to prepare the dead for burial," he added, glancing around at his clanmates, "But both of them left her. Does anyone remember the herbs they use for the body?"
[His eyes switched around back to his clanmates, genuine worry and sorrow glinting in his eyes. He remembered a sweet smell that attempted to cover the smell of death up. He knew they used a certain herb but he couldn't remember what!
On top of that, Foxfur had to travel to the Moonpool to recieve his nine lives. Was he supposed to go with the two medicine cats now, or would he go later so he could mourn Lavenderstar?
On top of top of that, the deputy needed to be named. Guardianvow didn't need to remind the deputy; it was probably already on his mind.]
(( We're just about close to picking a deputy gais. Unfortunately, since Leo hasn't logged on in a few days, I don't know whether to just go with a certain cat or wait for her to log on and decide.
In all honesty, she could be gone for a few more days. ^^" ))

((Out Of Cats: @Luni... Your Pine-eyes post still says Pinepaw.))
[I jumped when a massive heaving fest entered the camp. Looking towards the entrance, I saw Lavenderstar, she looked so frail and weak. Not like the strong determined leader we know her to be. I sighed and lowered my head onto my paws. She had like... three lives left... right? This cough would pass, she might lose one, and then she would bounce back, better than ever. Just like she always has.]
[I raised my head and stood up when Foxfur called a meeting. Foxfur? Maybe it was because Lavenderstar was too sick and she told Foxfur what to tell us. Right? Yes. Of course. That is what happened. I shook my head and took my seat beneath the Shadowstone. I looked up curiously, hoping that my thoughts weren't about to be put to life... Then, he made that awful announcement. Lavenderstar... I whimpered and lowered my head. Not Lavenderstar. Not her. No. It wasn't true. She was just sleeping. I finally looked up when Foxfur began to speak again. I let out the occasional murmur of agreement. I stood up when Hauntedheart dropped the body and began to pad to my leaders dead body. I was going to carry it to it's rightful spot in the clearing, but then I stopped dead in my tracks. I shouldn't do that without permission. So, I turned and faced Foxfur again, planting my rump back on the ground. Just as I did so, Guardianvow did what I had wanted to do. At least someone did it. I closed my eyes as I thought for a moment. What herbs do you use on a dead body?] "Does Watermint help with the smell if we'd smooth it over her pelt?" [I asked hesitantly. I was no medicine cat, so I was most likely wrong. But it was worth a try]

[Mudnose stared blankly at Lavenderstar's body for a long moment, her whiskers twitching. She was definitely not a medicine cat, so she hadn't the faintest idea. She hadn't really seen what herbs were supposed to be put on dead cats. In fact.....
She blinked, looking back at Guardianvow with a scowl.]
"Guardianvow, there isn't much of a point in using herbs on dead things,"
[she meowed, her ears flicking annoyedly. What a stupid idea that was. She blinked, her nose twitching as she continued.]
"I thought you just make them look nice and put nice flowers and stuff on them so they don't smell as....dead,"
[the queen's voice cracked on the last word. Her eyes fell to her paws as grief flooded back into her again.] `•.¸¸.••´´¯``•• .¸¸.•´ `•.¸¸.••´´¯```•.¸¸.••´´ ☾XXBUT ALL I'VE EVER LEARNED FROM L O V EXX ☽☾XX W A S HOW TO SHOOT SOMEBODY WHO OUTDREW YOUXX ☽☾XXIT'S NOT A CRY T H A T YOU HEAR AT NIGHTXX☽ ☾XXI T ' S NOT SOMEBODY WHO'S SEEN THE L I G H TXX☽☾XXI T ' S A COLD AND I T ' S A BROKEN H A L L E L U J A HXX☽

·۰•●○● Too Fast to Live ... ►
[Blossomstream's light emerald eyes gradually grew wide with shock. She couldn't believe the events she witnessed before her. Could this be the death that everyone was discussing about? No, no it can't. Blossomstream refused to believe that Lavenderstar is dead. Instead she predicts something else. That Lavenderstar is just asleep and StarClan invited her for some mouses once she awakens. And then she never comes back, because she's having too much fun in StarClan.
The she-cat's thoughts are similar to a kits, however she obliviously prevented the savaged world from corrupting her innocent thoughts. But why is everyone so upset? Lavenderstar is having a good time. The she-cat knew acting happy would give her a bad image. So instead, she blend in and forced her ears to droop. She isn't dead, right? She pressed her muzzle against her brother's warm fur, shying away from the event. From everything.]◄ ... Too Young to Die ●○●•۰·
