Chapter Ten

Dawngaze hopped off as soon as Hawkshadow went limp. He never stood up, his eyes closed. Ivyberry was trying to save Daisyfoot but it was to late for Daisyfoot. Daisyfoot was already dead. Dawngaze had her eyes wide open, not looking behind her. She felt a weight push her down and she strained her neck to see who it was. It was Branchpaw, Hawkshadow's brother. 

"How dare you kill my brother," He yowled and started clawing at her pelt. Soon enough, Dawngaze's pelt was covered in blood like Hawkshadow's unmoving body. She felt a surge of regret through her body. Her stomach churned. If all her littermates died, what would she do now? Become leader and die saving her Clan as leader? She would rather die as a deputy. She had served her Clan well. She closed her eyes slowly, only one second before she died, she saw Ivyberry running toward her. 

Ivyberry looked at the dead body of Dawngaze. Her belly churned. Dawngaze had died. Eaglestar lost a life. Hareleap died a few moons ago. Emberpaw died a few moons ago. Ivyberry had to save Dawngaze! 

Ivyberry tried and tried but nothing would work. She went into the medicine cat den and got some rosemary and mint. She walked out of the medicine cat den, rubbing the herbs over the bodies that were unmoving and lifeless. She did her past mentor first and then Dawngaze. She gave the mint and rosemary to FogClan's medicine cat, Shadowheart, and his apprentice, Driftpaw. Driftkit had gotten her medicine cat apprentice name one moon ago.

Driftpaw walked over to Hawkshadow with the rosemary and mint mixed together into a pulp. Driftpaw was a very good medicine cat apprentice, being patient and a very obedient cat. She leaned very fast too. Ivyberry thought that Driftpaw's medicine cat name was going to be Driftleaf because she was very obedient and very patient. 

Ivyberry's eyes gleamed in amusement when Driftpaw stumbled toward another of the dead FogClan warriors. Ivyberry padded over to the medicine cat den, returning back out with a bundle of herbs in her jaw. She walked toward the cats who were badly injured. She put some marigold onto some of the wounds that weren't badly bleeding and then putting cobwebs onto the marigold. Then, when they were badly bleeding she put cobwebs over the wound carefully. She then moved onto Eaglestar for the last patient she had. She covered his badly bleeding wounds with cobwebs, the ones with less bleeding, putting marigold on and then cobwebs. She had used dock on the bad scratches as well, to soothe the scratches. When she spotted a deep wound, she put on horsetail, marigold and cobwebs. She had to use some herbs to stop the herbs she had used onto all of her patients. After she was done, Eaglestar walked up toward the High-Tree.

"Let all cats old enough to hunt in the marshes, gather beneath the high-tree for a Clan Meeting!" Eaglestar yowled. Once the cats gathered beneath the tree. "As you all know, Dawngaze has died. I will have to announce a new deputy! I  say these words before SpiritClan so that they can hear and approve of my choice. Lightningfoot is the new deputy! Clan dismissed."

The cats started to walk away, starting to mourn for their past deputy. 

The journey hadn't ended. The journey had just begun.
