As the dawn rose, Dawnstar rose up from her dreams. She fluffed her fur out and padded out into the camp. In the middle of the camp, was a limp small body, wet and cold. A kit.

Dappleleaf was horrified. the killer was out for kits now? 

Owlmoon grumbled. "We need to find the murderer and get rid of them. Fast."

Blazestripe hissed. "Great StarClan, who kills a kit?!" He yowled, as he had a soft spot for the kits. "Since I don't want to start an argument, I'll skip."

Starlingfeather shook her head. "I'll stay with my vote. Mothflutter." 

Flowerpaw nodded. "Same here. I'm still voting Mothflutter."

Dapplleaf slowly nodded. "I vote Mothflutter." Owlmoon nodded.

Springflower looked rightfully disgusted. Murdering cats was already bad enough, but kits? That was downright disgusting. "I don't know. Who would do this? I don't have any idea, for now, I'll skip."

Fernpaw just wanted everything to stop. "Please let us vote out the right cat..." She wailed. "I vote Mothflutter."

Badgerpelt sat quietly. He felt guilty for not voting a cat out which caused the death of the poor kit. Still, he had to consider all the facts. "This... might be a stretch but I think it's Poppywing. The sky was as red as blood on the night of the murder/ Poppywing has red swirls on her pelt and one green eye, and one red eye. It might be a sign from StarClan. Although she only has one green eye I'll be voting for her." 

"Does anyone have any clues?" Fernpaw wailed desperately. "We can't skip tonight! The murderer has gone too far!"

Dapplleaf shook her head and sympathetically looked at the apprentice.

Coral glanced at Mothflutter, then flicked her tail to show that she was also voting for Mothflutter.

"Mothflutter," Emeraldpaw whispered. Coralkit nodded slightly in agreement. 

"GREAT STARCLAN, I'VE BEEN BLACKMAILED! BLACKMAILED! BLACKMAILED! BLACKMAILED!" Farkle screeched, pointing one claw at Mothflutter.

Rio Jr. Skipped. 

"Farkle votes Mothflutter," Rio Jr. said.

 Burnignsoul stared at the pool where the kit had died, a kit. The thought of that made her tongue dry. Her voice was bitter as she turned to the gathered cats. "A kit... who does that?" She then shook her head. "I'm done trying to be careful. I will vote Mothflutter." She then added, "what's the point in being careful, if we all end up dead anyway?"

"A kit?!" Ferretbloom wailed. "What is this world coming to?"

"A kit? No. Why? Why could it not have been another cat?" Fallowpaw questioned. 

"What is the point of skipping when this killer has decided kits deserve to die? I VOTE MOTHFLUTTER." Frozensnake yowled.

"I vote Mothflutter," Ferretbloom mewed.

"I vote skip. Voting out cats is just as bad as killing." Fallowpaw mewed.

Gingerblaze quietly snarled and sometimes whimpered in the corner of the camp. too absorbed in his own thoughts to vote.

Smokespine had a mournful expression on their face. They had done a lot of things her their lives but they would never in a thousand moons kill a kit! He sighed, knowing if they made the wrong decision, they would be helping in the process of sentencing an innocent cat to death, but still he yowled, "I vote Mothflutter!"

Axoltlheart hated this. She just wanted to live out her final years in peace. She sighed in fatigue, hating what she was about to do. After all, she could be sentencing an innocent cat to death, but the killer had gone too far, so she was going to say this while praying to the almighty StarClan. Above that they were sentencing the right cat to death. She then quietly say, "I vote Mothflutter."

Maplerain gave an amused look at Farkle. It surprised him that even in dark times like this he could still be amused by something, but he was snapped out of his momentary amusement as more cats started to vote Mothflutter. He decided to go along with all the cats screeching for the exile of Mothflutter and said, "I vote Mothflutter." He just wanted to go back to normal Clan life as soon as possible.

Dawnstar sighed and announced gravely, "Mothflutter."

Mothflutter jolted up, her eyes wide with tears. "D-D-Dawnstar... Can I tell them...?"

"If you must..."

Mothflutter stood on the rock, a sorrowful gaze in her eyes. "You know that you're voting out an innocent cat? I'm not the killer!" 

Muffled by sobs, she turned. "I don't want to live in a Clan that always accuses me!" Then, wailing, she leaped into the abyss.
