“I mean, I guess it would matter who it was. And I wouldn’t want it getting in the way of healing my Clanmates.” “How about kits?” He got uncomfortably close. She twitched her ear. “I wouldn’t mind, but someone would have to take care of them most of the time, keeping them away from the herbs.” “Good. Would you want to be my mate?” He nuzzled her and purred. Wonderbird stopped and looked at him, surprised. “Pumashade! I- I’m not sure what to say!” “Come on! Say yes! I have food!” Pumashade turned around and ran into a larger open area. She purred, following. “I’d love to be your mate!” “Great!” He nuzzled her passionately, ripping with loud purrs as he pawed the food to her. The ginger she-cat took the prey and began to eat it. In a flicker of an ear, a loud echo of a growl rumbled around the area. In a blink, the exit was blocked by a strong, brown/tan animal. It darted forwards and launched itself on the prey- Wonderbird.

“PUMA!” She screeched, darting away and leaping onto one of the stones. Blood splattered all over her as the bite marks oozed out blood. The Puma didn’t give up. It hissed wickedly with the evil eyes of a snake before darting back onto the Medicine Cat- a nice, plump snack. “Pumashade help me! Get Snowclan warriors!” She yowled, batting at the Puma, eyes glazing with pain. Pumashade ran away, yowled out for help. It was over. The loser wasn’t fast enough. A wicked grin and fate was the last thing the cat saw before the Puma crushed her in half. It was over for her. *** Gustingbreeze, a very pale gray tom with white eyes, was enjoying a bird from the fresh-kill pile. Snowstar was lying next to him, eating along. “Hello.” Pumashade, the bitter father walked up to them. “Hello Pumashade.” The tom replied.

“May I talk to Snowstar? Alone?" “I wouldn’t mind.” He said. Snowstar nodded, and trodded over to him. Pumashade with a flick of a tail led her away. Wonderbird, now in Starclan, followed them. At first until it seemed innocent, until Pumashade began to shove the Leader into the tunnels, clawing and forcing her deep into the unsettling caves. “Stop it!” She yowled. Pumashade shoved her down a small cliff, making her land on a rock and slide down. The big cat jumped down, his eyes glinting with the same evil as a Puma. He greedily licked his lips. “You’re in the way of my plans.” “Plans? Oh Starclan…” The injured cat began to step back, into a heated tunnel. At the end, surrounded by lava, there were two giant bright shining crystals. Pumashade laughed evilly as Snowstar launched herself onto him. Swiftly, with a blow, Pumashade forced her into the ground and held her down. “Your turn as a leader is over.” His once smoothing voice was crackled with wickedness.

“STOP!” In a second, just a second, she was burning. She was engulfed as she was thrown into the pit of lava. She attempted to scream out for help, but she was stuffed with the heat. The heat was the last thing she sensed… In a matter of seconds, she was with her loyalty, Starclan. Wonderbird blinked as Snowstar appeared in front of her, as a ghost. Snowstar was shaking. She collapsed in front of the Medicine Cat, falling into peeps of wails. “Are you ok Snowstar?!” “What happened? It hurts!” The usual never-cry cat sobbed. “Calm down!” “I’m confused!” “About what? Lift your head! She glanced up. “Am I dead?” Wonderbird screeched. “Your eyes!” Snowstar patted her eyes, and screamed as lava poured onto her paws. Wonderbird backed up. Snowstar ran to her. “Fix me!” “I don’t know how!” “How?!” “Try by calming down.” She tried to do so, but fell into a pile of heavy breathing. “I can’t believe Pumashade did this…” “Why? Wasn’t he your mate?” “Yeah…”

“How did this happen?” “Maybe because that’s how you died?” “Y-yeah…” “It’s the only explanation I have.” “It’s the most likely…” “Well… Welcome to Starclan.”
