Skybrook watched in horror as Nightstalk became limp under Titan. 

"And now to finish you off." Featherheart slowly padded forward, her eyes glittering maliciously. 

"Why, Featherheart? Why? How could you kill your own mother?" Skybrook asked softly, tears welling up in her eyes. She stepped back, but Featherheart kept coming. 

"I'm Feather, now. Me and Bee will get rid of you forever!" The white and black striped tom appeared beside his sister. 

"Never!" Skybrook pounced on Featherheart, catching her by surprise. 

"I'm so sorry." Skybrook whispered, clamping her jaws around Featherheart's neck. She fell limp, too. Skybrook stepped back, pouncing on Bee next. 

She pressed him to the ground, tears flowing down her face as she bit her son's neck. His face seemed frozen in a look of terror. 

"Feather!" Titan roared, taking two long strides and attacking Skybrook. He forced her to the ground, his long claws digging into Skybrook's neck. Blood bubbled at her lips but she soon felt the claws being ripped out of her tender neck. 

"Cedarflower!" Skybrook smiled warmly as the medicine cat gave feeble blows at the tom. Titan then bit her neck, while she bit his. They both fell to the ground, both unable to save. 

"Rogues! Retreat!" a rogue tom yelled, running swiftly into the trees. 

"Cedarflower, Nightstalk...how could you die?" Skybrook's voice cracked as she whispered to herself. Blood bubbled again at her mouth and her eyes became cloudy, she also too late to save.
