Rain for the [B] r o k e n h e a r t e d

The trees shifted in the breeze as the clouds overhead jostled together. A twig snapped under the paw of the scrawny brown she-cat as she made her way through the forest. Subconciously, she realised she was going to the CloudClan border. Where she had met Fallenleaf. A few drops of rain fell, spattering the ground as she walked. Her joints cracked with stiffness from lack of use and her eyes streamed just as the clouds dropped water. With a sneeze she kept walking. Her mind started to go fuzzy. Breathing was becomign harder and harder. The rain was really falling now, crashing through the trees and soaking the cat to the skin.

Brokenheart collapsed by the CloudClan border. The hacking cough that had terrorized her so much let out one final burst from her old broken lungs. She tried to yowl for help but it came out as more of a strangled gasp. This was it. She was going to die alone.

Fallenleaf had been taking a walk in the sunlight, thinking about her MoonClan friend. She felt the rain, but shook it away as she walked almost like a zombie to the MoonClan border. Then she heard it: a hacking cough and the stench of the dying. She trotted through the undergrowth as fast as her old bones could carry her and saw her friend, Brokenheart, collapsed and rasping. 'Brokenheart!' she yowled, and leapt over the border, nudging the elder with her nose.

Green and brown eyes opened wide to look at Fallenleaf. Brokenheart smiled weakly. "Fallenleaf...please take me to my Clan. And tell....tell them....I am sorry.....and tell Wovenknot...thank you" Brokenheart paused to let out a strangled cough of effort. "Thank you Fallenleaf....for being there. May StarClan be with.." and she trailed off. She was dead.



"Whitefoot? Is that you?". Brokenheart felt the presence of her deceased mate. She stepped forwards towards him. He opened his mouth to speak when a shadow filled the space in front of her. "What? Whitefoot? What is happening?" she called but the shdow seeped its way around her, curling and snaking until it was all she could see.

"Brokenheart you do not deserve to go to StarClan. Nobody wants you. Nobody loves you. You are doomed to an eternity of suffering

"No! What is happening?! Get away from me you fiend! Whitefoot! WHITEFOOT!" she screamed, but he was gone. She felt herself get sucked away from the glittering path that had been there before the shadows.

"Welcome to the Tribe of Nightmares"

Fallenleaf yowled. Her friend- her only friend- gone. She sat down beside her friend and buried her nose in Brokenheart's fur. She stayed like that for a while, then remembered that she would have to take the body back to her Clan. 'Have a good trip to StarClan'. she murmured, then shadows fell over the forest. Fallenleaf shivered, then took her friend by the scruff of the neck and started towards MoonClan camp.

Ooc: I'll post in camp

[FIREH!!]

A young version of his father was watching. He stepped out and quietly helped Fallenleaf carry the body. He hung his head in sorrow, knowing he and Fallenleaf were close to Brokenheart. Midnightsky plodded on, looking over at Fllaenleaf every minute or so.
