Chapter Five- the death of two hierarchies
NOTE: sorry the chapters are coming out so slow, school is getting pretty hard and I don't have much spare time (I have swim team too, so).
More sorrow flooded through Onestream as she headed for her own den. Blossomfall, Icewing and Seedwhisker were curled up in the center, so she took the far right corner. As the she-cat curled up, her thoughts traveled to random places. Soon she fell into a deep sleep...

Light flooded through the bush her eyes slowly opened. The den smelled of fear as Onestream stretched and padded out. She saw many cats crowded around something. "What happened?" She asked her apprentice, then the cat saw a still light grey pelt in the center, with ginger-specked one next to it. "Sunstar! Dovewing!" Onestream gasped, staring at the dead animals.
"They got attacked by a badger, and..." Whitepaw couldn't finish, and the apprentices mentor instinctively glanced at Bumbkestripe. But the sad look on his face made her regret thinking of him as a murder. Shaking the thought off, she spoke up and meowed, "Who will be the new leader? It almost sunhigh, we must take vote."
Most of the sad faces looked up and nodded. "Foxleap!" I raggedy voice rag out, know as Greystripe. The grey elder padded over to the warrior, "Bumblestripe!" Icewing voted, and went to his side. They all spread out a fox-length or so, and each cat voted for who they think should be leader.
The votes were: 7 for Foxleap, 4 for Bumblestripe, 1 for Blossomfall and also 1 for Onestream. After the voting, everyone looked at Foxleap expectingly, he nodded and climbed on Highrock. "The vigil for Sunstar and Dovewing shall take place now. These two she-cats were brave, loyal, strong and most of all, a true warrior cat. The May have lived a shorter life, but now, they are happier in the paws of StarClan. Along with death, there with life. So do not feel only morn over these cats, but feel pride in what they have done for our Clan!"
Almost ever cat looked up, to see the Foxleap was holding his head high with pride. A few mews of agreement arose from the meeting, "I shall appoint a new deputy at sundown," Foxleap announced. Onestream decided to take Whitepaw out for training. When the warrior found the apprentice, they bounded out of camp and into the bare forest.
