(The first to comment gets their cat in the story!)

My sister and I talked for hours until a yowl came from in the camp. Thunderpaw and I rushed outside. The patrol was running into camp. Stonestar was sitting on the high rock watching whatever was happening. "Stonestar!" I called. The sleek tom looked at me, his eyes wide. "What's going on?" I mewed. "Fetch Snowstorm! A cat is injured!" He yowled to me. I raced to the Medicine den. My sister was already inside.

"Thunderpaw, where's Snowstorm?" I asked. "She's mourning mother." My sister explained. "The clan needs her! A cat is injured." I mewed. "Oh, no." The raspy voice of Snowstorm, the old medicine cat tom. "Thunderpaw, finnish the herds as quickly as you can. I will go see this injured cat." Snowstorm explained and ran out of the medicine den.

I followed Snowstorm through the crowd of cats. There, in the middle of the circle of cats, lay a limp Leafpaw. I turned to see if any other patrol cats were near. I was looking for my brother but instead I saw Cinderflight. "Cinderflight, can you tell me what happened?" She asked calmly. Cinderflight nodded. "We were scouting the east of camp when we smelt badger. We decided to go back to camp when Leafpaw followed the sent. We wanted to follow. But Lightningfur got caught of the brambles...." "Lightningfur, where is he?" She asked. "I'm getting to that. We helped Lightningfur first, but when we found Leafpaw. He was dead and the badger was no where to be seen. That's when Lightningfur decided to get revenge on the badger for killing his first apprentice." Cinderflight finished. "I see." I mumbled. "Did my brother go alone?" I asked. "No. Shadowpelt went with him." She explained. I nodded.

I could see Snowstorm go to Stonestar and mew to him. Horror swept across Stonestar's face. I could tell Snowstorm was trying to comfort his leader, but it wasn't working. Stonestar jumped onto the high rock. "All cats old enough to catch there own prey, cone to the high rock for a clan meeting!" He called. I sat closest to the high rock. I scanned the cars, but there was no sign of Lightningfur nor Shadowpelt. Were they killed by the badger, too? I couldn't help thinking. Nonsense! My brother and Shadowpelt are brave, strong warriors. They could kill a badger easy! I told myself. "Cats of StormClan! There has been another death. Leafpaw, are new apprentice, has been killed by a badger on a patrol."

Mews of sadness and disbelief rose from the cats. "And on his first day of an apprentice." I heard an old she-cat sigh.

"STARCLAN MUST HATE US! THEY TOOK THE LIVES OF TWO CATS IN ONE DAY!" Sleekfoot, a brown tabby tom called from the crowd. Mews of agreement filled the air. "The beginning to the end in one day. How sad." The old she-cat mewed.
