Tears streamed down Dawngaze's face. First, the death of her mother, and now the death of her apprentice? Something bad was going to happen and she knew it. She looked up to the sky, looking for guidance. She wished she knew what was happening to MarshClan. She always got guided by SpiritClan, nothing else. She had dreams of a really dark and really creepy forest and always saw some cats there but nothing else except for rocks, trees, darkness, and cats. She remembered some cats, she saw Oakfur, a deputy of Cloverstar's before Eaglecry. Oakfur died in battle, killing another deputy then someone from ShadeClan killed Oakfur for revenge. At least thats how she remembered it.

Eaglecry stared at the dead body, her eyes glimmering with sadness. Dawngaze lowered her head and closed her eyes. She wanted to give out a yowl to SpiritClan, wanting to yowl of how unfair this was. She held her tongue. Ivypaw, the medicine cat apprentice, walked up to Eaglecry.

"Yes, Ivypaw?" Eaglecry asked, looking up from Emberpaw.

"Well, Eaglecry, Daisyfoot and I have heard of whitecough spreading across the Clan. If you hear of someone who has a cold or whitecough, send them to the oak tree." Ivypaw explained, pointing her tail to the red oak. 

Eaglecry nodded. "Thanks, Ivypaw. Have a good rest."

"Well, I'm not going to rest yet. I have to check Hareleap, Honeydusk and Jaggedpaw at the oak tree," Ivypaw explained again.

Eaglecry nodded. "Be safe."

Dawngaze nodded her head in agreement with Eaglecry.

"Eaglecry. You must be going to the Moonfall now." Dawngaze said.

"Thank you for reminding me," Eaglecry meowed. 

Dawngaze nodded her head in farwell, as well did Ivypaw who was still standing there. Eaglecry waved his tail farewell and walked out of the camp clearing. Dawngaze, who was going to guard the camp till Eaglecry came back from the Moonfall. Three kits scrambled out of the nursery.

"Ha! Boulderhawk! I am the best warrior of ShadeClan! I am going to get revenge!" A dark gray tabby tom kit squealed.

"Oh c'mon Brindleheart! I am the best warrior of FogClan!' Boulderkit exclaimed. 

"I'm Pebblestar! I am the leader of MarshClan! Warriors attack!" Pebblekit exclaimed. 

Amusement shone in Dawngaze's eyes. Ivypaw walked out of the entrance of the Oak tree. 

Ivypaw walked up to the three kits and whispered, "Pebblekit, Boulderkit and Featherkit. You need to stay near Red oak. Okay?"

The three kits nodded and walked with Ivypaw to the Oak tree. Ivypaw stood there, in shock. Another cat had died. It was Hareleap, Dawngaze's brother.
