Round 1, Scene 7
Juniperkit backed away from his littermate, his fur spiking. "You killed them?" he whispered.
Whisperkit shook her head desperately. "I didn't!" she protested. "I didn't kill them!"
Ripplestream stepped forward, pity darkening his eyes. "I'm sorry, Whisperkit. But you have to go."
The kit stared wildly around at her Clanmates. "But I didn't--"
Darkflare nosed her gently. "You'll see Sagestrike and Duskfern again."
Whisperkit shrank back. "But--"
Ripplestream picked up the kit by her scruff and carried her away, her distraught wails gradually fading as the warrior took her to the border.
Juniperkit whimpered and shrank back against Darkflare as what remained of WildClan settled down to mourn the loss of their leader.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The murderer slunk through the undergrowth, headed for a specific target. Darkflare. Dapplelight had tried to kill him, but failed. But the medicine cats were dead now, and this murderer would not fail.
The black tom crouched beside a clump of ferns. As he leaped towards an unseen rabbit, the murderer lunged at him and slammed into his side. Darkflare staggered under the weight of the murderer. He slipped and his head crashed into a rock. "You?!" he black tom meowed, the world spinning as he struggled to stand. "We let you--" Before he could say any more, the murderer raked their claws down his neck, killing him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dartthorn dragged Darkflare's limp body into the camp, his tail dragging on the hard earth. "He's dead," the orange and white tom mumbled sadly. "I found him while I was hunting..."
Darkflare's spirit randomly appeared out of nowhere. "Yeah, I'm dead. Oh by the way I was the old deputy, but Silentripple here thought I was too useless and demoted me, so now the deputy is--" Silentripple poofed over and smacked him on the head then both of them thankfully disappeared before Darkflare revealed anything.
Just then, Juniperkit scrambled into the clearing, leaf dust scattered on his pelt.
Ripplestream went over to the kit. "What were you doing out there?" he asked.
Juniperkit flattened his ears. "I was trying to find Whisperkit..." he mumbled.
The gray tom curled his lip in a low growl. "It's dangerous out there with that murderer around," he spat, "especially for a kit." There was a pause. "Unless you are the murderer."
