Sandheart sighed and padded stiffly into the camp grounds. She was now wear and tired but happy to be back. A stream of other cats and animals came in after her. Shattergaze, Dreamspirit, Duststorm, Hopepaw, Streaktooth, and the now being dragged Flamestar.

Whisperwind looked up from the vole she was picking at. The blackcough had claimed her appetite, and her ribs were poking sharply out from her dull pelt. She didn't even have the strength to groom herself anymore. Yet when she saw Sandheart appear at the camp entrance, hope flared so high in her chest that she found the strength to struggle to her paws. A pain-filled grimace flitted across her mouth, an attempt at a welcoming smile. She looked in amazement at the other prophecy cats who filed in after the medicine cat. They had all come home!
But then Whisperwind's heart stopped dead when she saw the limp ginger-furred form being carried last into camp. Whatever emotion was on her face froze in horror. No...no, no, NO, NO!!! The she-cat's paws gave out and she sank to the ground, grief and loss pounding through her. "Flamestar!" the yowl ripped from her throat, raw from coughing. And yet the pain of speaking hurt less than the pain in her heart. Flamestar...Flamestar was dead? How could this happen? StarClan...HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!

"Hello..Whisperwind." She said slowly. "She got killed by a monster," she said flicking her tail to Flamestar. "Because somebody (she cast an angry glare at Shattergaze) decided it'd be oh so amusing to watch us try and save her from the monster."

Whisperwind shook her head, as if she could deny the fact that her best friend was dead. But then she turned to Shattergaze. "You?" she spat. "You did this?"

Shattergaze smiled as Sandheart referred to her. And it worked out oh so well... SoulClan would suffer now, suffer like they deserved.
Goldenpaw watched as the cats returned, and at first her heart lifted. They can save the sick cats now! We'll all be okay! We'll all- Then she saw the broken and mangled body of her leader, Flamestar. Her mouth dropped open, and tears swam in her eyes. "No, oh no. Please, Starclan, no..." She whispered.

Stormpaw growled at Shattergaze, her eyes turning pitch black into a glare.
Fallenleaf padded up to the group of cats, looking at the returning cats. He smiled, before realizing that the cat that was being dragged was Flamestar. He hissed, hackles raised.

"She did it." She growled. "We have the herbs. I want DeathClan out of SoulClan now though. They can go ahead and take care of their cats right now but I don't even want them here." She hissed. Sandheart pushed a portion of the herbs towards the DeathClan cats and turned back to Whisperwind. "We'll tell you what happened then you can try and break the story to the Clan." Sandheart murmured.

Whisperwind got to her paws again weakly, and swayed a little. "Did you get the herb?" Her voice was faint. Maybe this was a bad dream brought on by the blackcough. Maybe she would wake up and Flame would still be alive. But she felt the raging heat of the fever, and knew she wasn't dreaming. She turned to Shattergaze. "Get out of SoulClan territory, right now, or I'll tear you to pieces. Understood? You ever so much as put a whisker over the boundary line again, and I will personally tear your throat out." Her voice was low, but filled with so much venom, Whisperwind looked positively murderous.

Shattergaze grinned again, and picked up her portion of herbs. "We'll leave now, SoulCats." She turned to walk out of the clearing, then looked back, her eyes like ice. "But watch your backs. We'll always be here, ready." With that, she padded away into the forest to DeathClan.
Goldenpaw hissed along with Stormpaw, rage building in her heart. If that cat had been the reason that Flamestar was dead....she would kill her.

"Shattergaze," Stormpaw hissed through clenched teeth. "You. Are. So. DEAD!"

Spottedsun watched the returning cats as she sat near Whisperwind. The she-cat wasn't doing too well. She was afraid for her, b-because.... She didn't bring her mind to finish the thought. When, at last, the last cat held Flamestar -limp and dirty- in her jaws, watched Whisperwind buckle to the ground. Her breath caught in her throat, and she willed her feet forward to comfort her friend. Flamestar.... echoed through her mind, and she bit down on her lip stiffly, trying to cut off a sob. Spottedsun looked up blankly, nodded, and murmered, "Bring them to Whisperwind... She needs them so bad."

"We do have the herb." She confirmed.

Stormpaw cemented herself to the ground, knowing that if she took even one step she wouldn't be able to stop herself from tearing the other DeathClan cat's throat out.
Fallenleaf growled, but sat down again and gazed down at Flamestar's dead body.

Whisperwind sighed and relaxed somewhat as the DeathClan cats left. She padded forward and looked at Sandheart for a heartbeat, before grasping Flamestar's mangled body in her jaws and pulling her to the center of camp. "Flamestar will be missed by everyone for a long time. She was a great friend, and a great leader. StarClan will honor her bravery and strength. We will mourn her tonight." And she settled down beside her oldest friend, pressed her nose into the dirty, dusty fur, and said goodbye for the last time.

Spottedsun stepped forward and did what Whisperwind had done. Flamestar's scent wasn't even there now... Gone forever.... She sat back in misery, trying to imagine how Whisperwind and Sandheart felt... They were so close to her... "Goodbye, Flamestar," she whispered.

(Nice Sand XD After all, u left her by the road. almost XD)
Goldenpaw padded up and pressed her nose into Flamestar's side. Even though she hadn't been there long, even though she was just an apprentice, she had looked up to Flame, respected her. She had been a great leader, and Goldenpaw would miss her. As her last tear fell, her eyes cleared and she stepped back. "Bye, Flame," she whispered.
