Cats of the Mist-MistClan

Rainshine snuck a sympathetic glace at Gatorjaw. Don't yell at him. "Yes. I understand now, but... why didn't she want the Clan to know about her kit? After she died you could've lived here the whole time!"

"Yeah!" Gatorjaw said. "Instead of spying on us, you could've participated in the adventures with us!"
Secretleaf padded out of the medicine den.

"I'm not sure... She could never have told me. And she was in the thick woods when she gave birth to me, so I was lost and ran away." Stormsand explained.
Meanwhile, Sandshadow was watching Lynxtail, who hadn't said much yet.

"Hey guys!" Secretleaf mewed. "I overheard you guys talking."
"Oh hi Secretleaf." Gatorjaw said. "So, what do you plan on doing now, Stormsand? Going back to stalker-ish stuff?" Ugh, why did I say that? She already hates me. And she better not take it out on Rainshine!

"Secretleaf! The medicine cat. It's an honor." Stormsand dipped her head in respect.
She quickly turned to Gatorjaw. "Stalker-ish?" She rolled her eyes. "Is that the best insult you can throw at me?"
Sandshadow was still watching Lynxtail who had been silent throughout the entire conversation.

"It didn't mean to be in insult..." Gatorjaw mewed. "Spying and stalking are the same thing... aren't they..?"

Stormsand ignored him. "I've been practicing your fighting moves. And I want to become a warrior."

Lynxtail perked his ears. He casually padded over, trying to impress the new warrior. "Hello," he mewed. He hoped that if she knew about Gatorjaw and Rainshine, she knew about him too.

Stormsand turned around. "Lynxtail?"
Sandshadow smiled. Score for him! She knows him, too.

"Yep!" Lynxtail mewed. "Welcome to the Clan!" Score for me! She knows me, too.

"Hi there, Lynxtail!" Stormsand smiled. "Thank you."

Lynxtail smiled.

Willowfeather padded to Mysticstar's den and decided to check on her. Her paws batted on the smooth stone and she looked at the mossy nest her leader had made. "Mysticstar! Hello!" she mewled sweetly. There was a moment of silence. "Uh, hello?" Willowfeather asked. "Mysticstar!" she yelped. Willowfeather put her paw on Mysticstar's chest. She couldn't feel a heartbeat.

Shiningheart sighed. No one liked her. No one loved her. She was just an ugly little she-cat.

Lynxtail heard Shiningheart. He padded up to her.

Stormsand padded around, looking for more of the cats of MistClan. Maybe Willowfeather... or Mysticstar! Sandshadow smiled at his wandering daughter.

Secretleaf purred. "She seems like a nice cat." she mewed.

Mysticstar gasped her last words. "Shiningheart...Shiningstream....Willowfeather gone....Gatorstar."

Secretleaf gasped. "Mysticstar!" She ran to the leader's den. She looked at Mysticstar's limp body. "No..." she whispered, a tear falling from her face. "I'm too late..."

"Huh?" Stormsand rushed to the den with Secretleaf. "Oh, no..."

Secretleaf let out a sad, long wail.

"She's... gone." Stormsand hung her head.

"I have failed as a medicine cat." Secretleaf mewed sadly.

"Oh no," Shiningstream cried

"Secretleaf, you haven't failed! Every cat makes their way to StarClan someday." Stormsand reassured her.

"But I still feel like I could've saved her..." Secretleaf sighed.
