"Bramblescar.... Get out...." Poolstar hissed, glaring, everyone except the cats that didn't vote, glared at him. The tom hissed "I wouldn't murder my mate.... I wouldn't hurt anyone...." Bramblescar hissed.

He felt the urge to scratch one of them, but it would seem he was the murderer.... so he left.... only a look of anger and disappointment

***********************

Poolstar stared at the remaining cats.... 8 left.... Lilykit was sitting at the fresh-kill pile with her brothers, making her mouse stand up, then she bit into it, anger slightly in her eyes, shaking the mouse in her mouth, she noticed Poolstar watching her, putting the mouse down and starting to eat it normally.

The leader flinched slightly, taking a breath, she laid down on the high rock, seeing the sun go down, it had been a whole day... She whimpered as she remembered Harekit.... slightly sobbing, she got up and went into her den.

The others walked into their dens...

****************************

Flintstripe jerked awake, his eyes darting around, but he calmed down when he saw Lizard-dust, the tom was peacefully sleeping, Flintstripe quietly walked outside, he stepped on the murderer's tail, but he didn't notice cause he was lost in thought.

The murderer opened their eyes, glaring, They were quite angry, seeing Flintstripe, The cat walked outside, seeing Flintstripe sitting at the entrance, the tom was now REALLY deep in thought, watching leaves pass by.

The cat shrugged and walked quietly at him, Flintstripe finally snapped to reality and turned around, but it was too late, the murderer pounced on Flintstripe, the tom almost yowled, but the murderer forced their paws on to the other's throat....

The gray cat couldn't breathe... starting to choke..... The murderer felt the tom stop struggling, his breathing stopped......

The murderer shrugged and turned away

****************************************

The sun started rising, Lizard-dust was the first awake, he looked over to Flintstripe's moss bed, but saw nothing.... A sudden worry filled his gut, quickly getting up and running outside, maybe he was just awake first?

He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Flintstripe.... not moving or breathing....
