[question at the end of the chapter]

The Clan surrounded Leafdusk as she cat met their angry gazes nervously, seemingly calculating an escape route. Chirpstar walked forward, Heronstripe and Abyssfrost at his side.

"Leafdusk, you are exiled from TwilightClan. Leave now, or face the claws of our warriors," he growled, the uncharacteristic anger in his tone increasing Leafdusk's nerves.

Leafdusk then laughed.

"You know this whole thing was my idea right? I gathered the traitors, I led them as we continued our mission, killing cat after cat to ensure this Clan would be ours. You might be rid of us now, but there will always be others..."

Without warning, the she-cat suddenly leapt forward onto Heronstripe, knocking him to the ground as Chirpstar struggled to pull her off of him.

"I'll never go down without a fight!" she yowled, clawing at the tom's throat as he choked on blood, gasping as he tried to struggle free of her grip.

"Y-You might kill me, b-but at least I'll die knowing you lost..." Heronstripe muttered, as his eyes glazed over.

Heronstripe was Leafdusk's revenge kill, He was the Survivor. 

Chirpstar let out an enraged yowl, finally pulling Leafdusk away as the remaining cats alive gasped in horror, as their leader unsheathed his claws. She grinned, pinning the smaller cat down in the same way she had with Heronstripe. 

Chirpstar hissed, raking at her belly with his claws and kicking upwards, with Leafdusk falling back with a pained cry. He leapt to his paws, striking down with his front paw until the light slowly faded from his attacker's eyes.

"I'll see you in your n-nightmares," Leafdusk laughed weakly.

Leafdusk has been killed. She was the Lead Traitor [T1]

Nine cats stood in the silent camp, staring at each other blankly. 

"How could can we continue with normal clan life after this?" a small voice asked, as Stormpaw looked to Mistpaw with sad eyes.

Burningriver gave her a gentle lick behind the ear, as Stormpaw leaned against her friend's side unhappily. "Don't worry, we'll work something out..." they murmured, gazing over at Chirpstar.

Their leader nodded.

"It is our duty to our fallen clanmates to push on... no matter how difficult it gets. May they rest in StarClan..."

Thank you so much for playing, hope you enjoyed :) This was a bit of a shorter one but likely due to the smaller amount of players/inactivity traitor deaths.

Question: I already have the roles list for R5 planned, if you're planning to join that, would you rather have a bit of a break first before I release the signups, or would you rather me release the signups now and then have a 2 week gap before R5 starts? orrr would you prefer me release the signups and then immediately start R5 after?
