Pumpkinpaw wanted to pull away, but for some reason she couldn't move. So she just nuzzed her face in her father's fur and cried quietly for a few moments. Before she knew it, she was fast asleep next to her mother, exausted from greif.

Forestpaw's eyes grew wide with shock. No! His anger brewed as he remembered that it wasn't his fault, or his mother's. Their leader brought them here and she was the one to blame. Through his tear stained eyes, Forestpaw turned to where his leader was and made his way over with vengence burning in his heart. He swerved through the ill and fatigued cats to meet Vanitystar, face to face. "You are the cause of all this pain and suffering! You should have never led us here!" More tears streamed from his eyes and his lip was cured back into an angry snarl. "You are the worst thing that ever happened to this clan!" With that last statement, he lept at his leader with full force. Forestpaw's mind was fogged by his mother's pain and his judgement was pushed aside.

Rapidfire turned, displaying the speed he was named for and leaping forwards to meet Forestpaw, before his son could come into contact with their leader. " Forestpaw!" He shouted. Tears began to stream down his face, as much as he tried to hide them. " Vanitystar led us here to keep us alive! Our leader had no choice." Rapidfire meowed, strength creeping slowly back into his voice. " Stop this idiocy at once! If we don't stick together and trust each other, we will get nowhere!"

Honeysuckle closed her eyes for a moment before she can open her eyes once again. She heard her daughters crying, her son yelling at Vanitystar, and her beloved mate scolded him. She meowed urgely, "Rapidfire....please don't...yell...at...Forestpaw...He..don't understand..." She starts to cough again but she keeps going. Then she meowed, "Forestpaw, my son, my only son, please don't blame Vanitystar, it is not Vanitystar's fault. It is this's fault. Don't worry, Forestpaw, I will be always with you." She coughed again for a second time, she saw her daughters, Pumpkinpaw and Ripplepaw crying, she meowed, "My beauitful daughters, Pumpkinpaw and Ripplepaw, don't cry. Please don't cry. I know that StarClan won't abandon us even we are in cruel place. I believe strongly that I will be with StarClan safetly and I will watch over you same as I just told Forestpaw." She struggled to move her front paw to wiped off Pumpkinpaw's and Ripplepaw's tears. Slowly her eyes closed, meowed softly to Rapidfire, "Rapidfire, I am proud of you, all of you. All of you must be strong for me no matter what happens in future. Please promise me....I love you.." She closed her eyes once again and she put her paw down at the damp ground. Her breathing become shallower, once it is gone forever....She never spoke again.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Pumpkinpaw yowled loud enough for everycat to hear. Then she lied down burying her face in her mother's soft comforting fur, and started to cry. That moment a warm breeze brushed across Pumpkinpaw pelt. And for a second she thought that she had heard Honeysuckle's soft purr that always comforted Pumpkinpaw when she was a kit. Around her, Pumpkinpaw heard pawsteps of other cats.((ummm. who is Pumpkinpaw's mentor?? ))

Forstpaw struggled against his father to break free and after a moment he just sat there, embracing Rapidfire. He meant to speak, but as soon as he tried, more tears came from his eyes and his throat was raw with sadness.

Rapidfire rocked against Forestpaw, tears continuing to stream openly down his face as he gazed at his mate. " No...StarClan, please!" He muttered, voice raw with grief and pain. " Ripplepaw, Pumkinpaw..." Rapidfire said softly, having a sudden need to gather his children. Honeysuckle was gone, but their kits needed him.

Forestpaw's tears flowed lesser and he began to push away from his father. He went to a corner in the outskirts of their lean-to camp. This wasn't how StarClan wanted them to live. Surely they'd send a sign soon or even walk in his dreams but he knew that they were destined for something better than this.

Finally, Pumpkinpaw got up and sat next to her sister. "Ripplepaw?" she meowed. "I was wondering before, what if StarClan is not there to greet Honeysuckle? What if she has to travel to find them? Do you think that they will be there?" Pumpkinpaw had so many more questions to ask, but now was not the time to ask them.

Vanitystar remained where he was, silent and watching like stone. His eyes narrowed, and he stepped up to Rapidfire. "Rapidfire, let Forestpaw go." he turned to Forestpaw, lips still calm, "Please, express your concerns. Even feel free to assault me; it won't solve anything, but if you feel the need to, you're welcome." To some this'd be... well, volatile, and downright scandalous, but if Forestpaw needed to vent his feelings, he was entitled to that. The sorrow of his mother's loss would hurt, too; he knew. He shook his head, legs suddenly collapsing under him. A heap on the ground he shook, tears weeling in his eyes. He was far too young for this. He never wanted this position, this responsability, this agony. His claws unsheated, and he just sat there. I needed to sleep. Right. Now. The stress was overwhelming, and the journey alone was far too much. But he couldn't pass out, couldn't loose a life. He'd do anything for his Clan...

Tigerfur came up, she like most looked sickly. But her old age also showed, as she stumbled up. "Great Starclan what happened?" She asked. "Why is Starclan allowing this to happen, I haven't had any signs. But may Honeysuckle go to Starclan, and watch over us." She said preforming the ritual of presenting a cat to Starclan once they had died. "We must hold a vigil." She annouced before walking over to Vanitystar and sniffing him.
