Eaglestar turned around and looked at Stormpelt with wide amber saucer eyes. "What's going on? Why did she say she couldn't kill me?" He asked, alarmed.

"Because. You're her dad, she couldn't possibly kill you then." Stormpelt answered, his blue eyes dark.

"Why would she have the choice?" Eaglestar grew suspicious, bracing himself for a fight.

"You're clan leader. You have to die if we will rule the clan." Stormpelt saw the hostility in Eaglestar.

Blackfrost rose to her feet. "I don't want to do this. Is there another way?" She meowed, her voice shaking with apprehension.

"What? Are you backing out now? Mouse-brain! There's no way around it!" Stormpelt echoed Blackfrost's words from before.

Eaglestar stepped in between them. "This is sick. Don't do this, Blackfrost. I can take care of him, but there's no way I could hurt you."

Stormpelt unsheathed his claws.

Blackfrost paused.

What are you waiting for? He just gave you the ticket to success. Kill him, he won't fight back.

But he's my dad.

No he's not. He's clan leader.

I won't kill him.

Then let Stormpelt kill him. Just give him the okay.

No! I don't want my dad to die!

Stop with the sympathy! He had none for you and your sister when your mother died!

I don't care! He apologized!

Kill him.

No!

Kill him!

No!

"Kill him." Blackfrost felt the forbidden words slide out of her mouth like blood from a deep wound.

Stormpelt leapt in the air, landing square on Eaglestar's back, knocking him off balance.

Eaglestar was still taken aback by what Blackfrost had commanded. "Blackfrost! No! Don't let him corrupt you! He's evil!" The leader shrieked.

Blackfrost just watched.

Eaglestar began to fight back, but it was too late.

Stormpelt grabbed the clan leader's neck in his teeth, biting down hard.

Eaglestar's blood poured out across the pine needles strewn across the ground.

"Blackfrost..." He choked out. "Please, remember what I said...I'm done for." He gasped. "Don't let him turn you evil...you still have time...please..."

Eaglestar's blood poured out of him, along with his nine lives. The wound was too deep to recover from.

Then he lay still, and Stormpelt took his paw off the leader's bloody chest.

"Are you okay?" He asked after a heartbeat.

"Yes." Then she looked up at Silverpelt.

Eaglestar, I'm so sorry. I hope you find peace in Starclan. And I hope that I meet you there someday, even after all this.

"I forgive you, Eaglestar."

Please forgive me.
