"You already know I'm leader? What, have you been stalking me? No matter."Pebblestar flashed a malevolently violent, evil smirk, seeing Frost follow her. As he stepped onto the branch and came closer to her, she turned around and lashed out with her hind legs like a rearing horse, catching the tom in the chest and knocking him back, off of the tree. He would have been held off, at least until he got up. Such a blast would at least dizzy him and blurr his vision for a short time, if not give him permanent spine issues.
Her plan having been carried out, Pebblestar dropped from the tree, her strong legs and paws catching her easily. She bolted to the den from which the eerie screeches came, only to see blood everywhere. At first the stunning RiverClan she-cat thought that somebody had gotten in and hurt Dawnstar, but then she remembered that Eaglestar was there. He wouldn't let anyone lay a claw on his mate. As she peered at her friend, she saw that the blood was not from a wound, but from her jaws. Dawnstar was coughing up blood. "Dawnstar!" she cried, padding over fearfully. At first it seemed as though the other cat was dead, with her eyes closed and the blood drying on her muzzle. It was only the faint, shallow sound of Dawnstar's breathing that kept Pebblestar's hopes up.

((I'm feeling mean today. ))
Frost rolled his eyes, it didn't take much to hear the squealing of Pebblestar's name from the cat in the den area. The big tom went to take another step and was kicked off of the tree. He gasped, trying to get air back into his chest after being kicked there. He didn't expect to be outsmarted, always easily overpowering these weak clan cats. And here he was, falling to what could be his doom. The feline's hearbeat really picked up when he realized that he was too off balance to turn around and landon his feet.
The cat landed roughly on his back, and with a snap of his spine, the tome cat knew no more.

Dawnstar's dream was the only thing keeping her alive. " Don't leave me, please!" She called out into the starry forest, but noone answered. She felt a presance beside her earth bound body. She cried out, the air catching her screams. Her eyes opened a little bit, her breathing picking up a little. "Pebblestar?" She moaned then closed her eyes again, it was straining to even talk to her friend. Her mate, Eaglefeather sat down by her side, tears sliding down his black face " If only I knew the problums, Dawnstar. This is my fault, we should've never...Please don't die. I need you, our kits need you, please" He cried, licking Dawnstar's cheek. Danwstar mewed a little, not even moving much. Her streingth seemed to leave her, and leave this earth alone. " Don't let them do this!" She quietly cried, imaginary flames scorched her pelt.

"Eaglefeather, she- she's losing a life." Pebblestar murmured, nudging the big tom cat. "One of nine leaves us tonight." The she-cat knew what was happening only from her own experience, shortly after becoming RiverClan's leader, and once while she had been training Hawkstorm. She was down to seven lives now, but she hadn't changed. With each life lost, she remained the same Pebblestar. She had to assure Eaglefeather that it would be the same with his precious mate. "It'll be alright, big fella. She'll still be Dawnstar, just with one less life to keep her going. Nothing will have changed." Her words were spoken in her soothing, angelic voice that not even she had heard for moons. It was Pebblestar's motherly voice, never heard since the death of her own kits. As her thoughts turned to kits, she froze. What will happen to the kits when Dawnstar loses her life?! Her body will be dead for a short time, but will it be short enough not to affect the little ones growing inside of her? These new thoughts tore at her, her fear for the kittens growing stronger and gnawing at her hungrily. Finally, she voiced her new found thoughts to Silvermist, but she whispered it quietly to avoid scaring Eaglefeather even more. He was in enough pain as it was.

Eaglefeather nodded to the kind words spoken by the brave leader " Pebblestar, I havn't heard you use that tone of voice in forever." He meowed softly, his long tail laying across Dawnstar's shoulders. Eaglefeather looked at his mate, then to the sky. the thought of even losing a life from Daawnstar was so depressing. " Dawnstar, listen to me, your not going to die. Just hang on a little while longer." He murmured into her ear. Dawnstar seemed very slow to respond, then slowly she slipped away, her breathing ceasing.
Dawnstar could feel herself being lifted from her earth bound body, into the clouds of Starclan. She saw all the dead warriors, warrioresses and Leaders that ruled before her. Then something happened, a slim, pure white she cat with one hazel eye and one grey/green eye stepped towards her. The tall she-cat spoke, her voice was smooth as silk, yet seemed to have a spooky air to it " Dawnstar, Leader of Thunderclan, I wish to speak with you before you return. My name is Snowstar, I was the leader of Thunderclan many, many moons ago. Your clan is in no real danger, but you must hang on to your life, the little ones need you." Snowstar spoke, her voice radiating sheer power. " But Snowstar, how? i think i just dies, how am I supposed to look after my kits" She mewoed solemly to the other leader, and Snowstar smiled " You just lost a life, no big deal. I must leave you now, for your time has come. May Starclan lead your way in this journey of life." She spoke then faded away. Dawnstar cried out as she fell into blackness. Then she drew in a shaky breath and opened her eyes. They flicked to the worried faces of Eaglefeather, Pebblestar and Silvermist. "Why does everyone look so serious?" She coughed and relaxed, she felt as good as new.

Pebblestar purred soothingly to Eaglefeather, hoping to relieve him of his depression. Dawnstar had just slipped into death, so her mate would need a lot of comforting. Suddenly her friend's eyes flitted open, and her fast, shallow breathing slowed to a somewhat normal pace. "Welcome back." Dawnstar popped the big question, and RiverClan's proud leader almost burst out laughing. But instead she controlled herself and let out a joyous purr, infused with a warm giggle. "We're all so serious and worried because you just lost a life, sweetie." Pebblestar was pretty sure it wad the first that her friend had lost, so she expected a few more questions. After all, it's not everyday that part of you dies and returns to Silverpelt. Though Dawnstar looked terrible, she was obviously feeling rejuvinated. Her painful, dying life had vanished, but the feeling of freedom and lightness would soon wear off, and Dawnstar's pain would settle in again. It would be very soon if the kits started kicking again.
