Spottedclaw padded garcefully down to Mouseclaw. "Welcome to StarClan Mouseclaw," she purred gently, "I am sorry the apprentices had to see an elder die like you did."
"Mouseclaw!!!" Ravenpaw yowled to Cinderleaf, "He... he... he collapsed and hit his head and... and...." The black apprentice was panting, her eyes wide with fear for Mouseclaw.

Cinderleaf could see the panic in Ravenpaw's eyes, "OK, lead me to him after I get these herbs." She padded back into her den and grabbed a bundle of herbs. "Lead away now, we need to make sure he is okay." --------------------------- Mouseclaw couldn't believe that he had just died. "The apprentices must be panicing, because I wa....was telling them a story and.....and then I collapsed, the last thing I saw was Specklepaw Racing up to me." --------------------------- Specklepaw kept licking Mouseclaw on the ear, "Mom, is he dead?"

Treeleg could hardy breath. She looked at Specklepaw. "I don't know my kit," she whispered.
"All is well. You lived a long and good life. Not many cats become elders and live as long as you did," Spottedclaw purred and wraped her tail around him.
Ravenpaw nodded and raced back into the nursery. The black she-cat looked back to make sure CInderleaf was following.

Tumblepaw was running around, hesitating on whether to help Cinderleaf or to go to Mouseclaw. He decided on the latter and ran into the den again, eyes wide. The yellow tom lay his muzzle into the elder's fur. "Don't go!" he wailed. "You didn't even finish the story!"

Treeleg pulled Tumblepaw toward her and wraped her tail around him.. "He will be okay. No matter what happens," she purred to comfort her yellow kit.

Oakpaw sat down confused. She could'nt comprehend what had happened. Then, the smell of death wafed over her. Oakpaw's jaw gaped open partly in disbelief, and dispare. She stalked out of the den, head sunk low. "I am not needed here..." She sighed.
Mouceclaw promised her a story, but now he is telling it to the kits of StarClan.

Tumblepaw was raked in by his mother's tail, but he squirmed in distress. "Surely StarClan could have waited at least until the story finished?" he whispered, tears in the yellow kit's eyes.

"StarClan doesn't choose when a cat dies. Fate does. Kits wouldn't die if StarClan had a say in it. And fate doesn't wait for anyone. StarClan can take Mouseclaw to a place where he will be happy though. And be able to visit cats in their dreams," Treeleg purred to her kit and lick him on top of his head.

Specklepaw pressed herself against Mouseclaw, "Please don't leave us." She knew it was to late though. ----------------------- "I know, but why did the apprentices have to see?" Mouseclaw meowed sadly. ----------------------- Cinderleaf padded into the den after Ravenpaw, "I am afraid by the smell he is already dead." She said with a sigh.

"Come my kits. We must go and tell Darkstar," Treeleg purred and herded her six kits out of the elder's den. She turned back briefly and muttered, "Good bye Mouseclaw. You will be missed." Ravenpaw pressed close to he mother.
"They were bound to see death sooner or later. And they will see many more deaths in their lives," Spottedclaw told the newest cat of StarClan. She looked deep into his eyes. "Now... are you coming to StarClan or leaving for the Dark Forest," she asked though she knew the answer.

Tumblepaw closed his eyes and lay his muzzle in the elder's fur. "No..." he whispered again.

Specklepaw put her mussle onto Mouseclaw's dead body, "We will miss you the most." Then she got up and followed her mother. ------------------------- "I'm going to stay in StarClan." Mouseclaw padded beside Sharpclaw.

The tall ginger StarClan leader stepped forward to greet the former ShadowClan elder. "Mouseclaw," he said, his tone deep, "StarClan will not forget the apprentices that you have mentored and the lives you have taken in many battles. I am afraid that one kit will become more dangous than the others, and might follow in a close relations' footsteps, unless the light of StarClan will shine though his heart, though the darkness..." Shockstar trailed off.
Foxpaw looked at the dead elder, expressions hidden, from the other cats. "You served the Clan well, Mouseclaw," he murrmered, feeling a weard feeling of satisfaction rose from his chest, blinding him, for a moment. He saw a battle, him, against a white RiverClan warrior, athe warrior cowering like a helpless kit, him raising his claws, ready to drag his talon like claws over her throt.
Firepoppy padded into the elders den, only to see Mouseclaw, dead and Foxpaw just standing there, apparently just staring at the dead elder.
"Foxpaw," the ginger she-cat asked, "what happened to Mouseclaw?"
"I didn't do anything, I swear..." the ginger apprentice whined, snapping from his wonderful dream, looking at his brother's mentor coldly.

"Who is that kit?" Mouseclaw asked the great StarClan leader. ------------------------------------ Specklepaw heared her brother whine and ran back into the elders den to see her brother, Foxpaw, and Firepoppy, "I didn't do anything, I swear...." her brother said. "Foxpaw why don't you just tell her what happened? You saw him die just as well as me. You would have an axcuse if you where Oakpaw but you don't look much like Oakpaw......" Specklepaw purred with amusment and greived for the dead elder.
