Dapplelight watched as one by one, her Clanmates voted her guilty. Slowly, her lips curled back into a snarl, which swiftly turned into an insane, gleeful, grin. "So you've found me out," she hissed.

Branchstar shouldered his way past his Clanmates. "How dare you kill so many of your Clanmates?" he snarled.

Dapplelight laughed maniacally. "It was their own fault they died!" she shrieked, eyes crazed. "They were weak! And so are the rest of you!"

Darkflare stepped forward, showing his knife-like claws. "Was your sister weak?" he spat.

"You drove my parents to their deaths!" Dapplelight howled. "That war against the rogues, for what? More prey? More land? I killed my sister to ease her grief! Sent her to live with our parents in StarClan! Sent Stormstreak to wait for her there!" Tears now filled her crazed eyes. "You took my family away from me! I don't care if I go to the Dark Forest! I've hurt all of you, that's all I wanted!" She shrieked in mad laughter again. Her claws flashed. She leaped at Swiftpaw, slashing at his throat. The black and white apprentice's eyes widened in horror, then he crumpled to the ground, blood spilling from his wound. Kestrelpaw scrambled over to his side, but he was already gone.

Darkflare let out an outraged cry and lunged at Dapplelight, knife-like claws pressing against her throat. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now."

"Oh, go ahead and kill me." An insane grin was plastered on her face. "My job is done." The crazed yellow gaze trailed over the WildClan cats. "The rest is for my accomplice to handle," she purred menacingly. "See you in the Dark Forest." She jerked her head forward and Darkflare's claws sank into her throat.

The black tom leaped off her, shock in his blue eyes. The she-cat spasmed, then fell still, a toothy grin still visible on her face.

Ripplestream bowed his head, grief in his eyes. "Can I bury her?" he asked quietly.

Dartthorn growled at him. "She was a traitor," he spat. "Why should we give her a burial? Just leave her body somewhere in the forest for the crows."

Ripplestream hissed furiously. "She was my mate. I love her, and I always will. I don't expect you to understand, though. You've always been heartless."

Branchstar stepped between the two toms before either of them could lash out at the other. "This is what Dapplelight's accomplice wants," he reminded them. "Don't fight. It'll just make things easier for them." Dartthorn backed down, fur still bristling. Branchstar nodded at Ripplestream. "Bury her," he mewed. Ripplestream dipped his head, grasped Dapplelight's scruff in his jaws, and left the camp.

Silentripple left the camp with Darkflare. Kestrelpaw padded along with them. Scenting a rabbit, Silentripple flicked her tail at the apprentice. "Kestrelpaw, circle around and I'll scare it towards you," she whispered. Kestrelpaw nodded and crept away. Darkflare slunk off in another direction. Silentripple leaped, about to startle the rabbit straight into Kestrelpaw's claws. Then the murderer leaped out of the undergrowth and sank their claws into her neck.

Silentripple managed a choked shriek before she fell limp. The murderer saw the rabbit bolt towards Kestrelpaw and raced back to their patrol.

Kestrelpaw padded out, the rabbit clamped between her jaws. Darkflare slipped out after her, the beginnings of a purr rumbling in his throat.

Kestrelpaw saw Silentripple's body and screamed, dropping her rabbit. Darkflare heard the scream and instantly knew what had happened. He ran to the place where Silentripple was. The silver she-cat was slumped on the ground, blood staining the fur on her neck. She was dead.

Darkflare gently nosed Kestrelpaw, who was sobbing into her half-sister's fur.

Kestrelpaw's cry had alerted Dartthorn and Ripplestream who were patrolling nearby. Dartthorn let out a yowl of horror when he saw the still silver shape that was Silentripple. Ripplestream exchanged a sorrowful glance with Darkflare. Another cat, dead. Supporting Silentripple between them, the four cats trudged back to camp with heavy hearts.

When they got back to camp, Ripplestream instantly turned on Dartthorn. "You killed her, didn't you?" he snarled. His claws slid out.

The orange and white tom growled furiously back at him. "I didn't kill her," he spat.

Whisperkit spoke up from where she was nosing at Silentripple's fur. "Let's vote," she mewed softly, every hair on her pelt quivering.
