(Mini story ahead)
---

The cats in RiverClan were panicking slightly. Their deputy, Mud, had just come back with bites and scratches. A few days ago, Windclan had warned them of a sickness. The leader had sat infront of the med den, Splashpaw and Deadpaw, newly made apprentices, were sitting in worry. Their thoughts were interrupted as Mud threw himself at the leader and ripped out his throat. The clan gave out panicked screams as Splashpaw grabbed Deadpaw by the scruff and ran out of the secret entrance. They ran to the border of Shadowclan and RiverClan, panting. Deadpaw scrambled to her paws, turning back to their camp "M-Mud.." She choked out, Splashpaw holding her back. "He's dead, You need to let him go." He whispered. Deadpaw started to cry, having seen Mud as a father figure, since all her kin died and he had cared for her. After a few minutes, Deadpaw and Splashpaw headed back to the camp, through the small entrance once again. The clan was calm, Mud had been killed and the leader still didn't get up. The two apprentices walked in, Dead rushed over to Mud and kneeled by his body. Days later passed, and a new deputy and leader were chosen. Everyone was woken to groans at the entrance. Starlingstar, the leader, called out. "Everyone! We must leave the camp now!" Infected broke into camp, and everyone rushed out of camp. Deadpaw stayed behind and rescued a small brown and ginger tabby kit from the nursery, then followed everyone out. They ran for miles, until they found an abandoned kittypet house. They made safety in the house, Deadpaw curling in the corner with her new rescued kit. "Pinekit..." She muttered, glancing around. Splashpaw was comforting his sister, Minnowpaw, because their other brother, Ripplepaw, had stayed behind to fight the infected. Deadpaw quickly fell asleep with her new kit, purring. She was woken later by Splashpaw, growling softly "Get up." Deadpaw lifted her head, showing the small tabby fur between the gap in her tail and chest. Splashpaw tilted his head. "What's that?" He poked the fur, causing the kit to squeak. He backed up, and Deadpaw moved her tail, revealing the small kitten near her stomach. Splash' s eyes widened, mumbling. "I... That's.... Not mine, right?" Dead rolled her eyes playfully, nudging him softly, the look she gave him told him 'Course not, you silly.' Splash shook his head, chuckling. He left her to go sleep with his sister, and Dead fell back to sleep with the kitten. Dead woke up a few hours later, when the sun was just rising. She wanted to go hunt, so she took the kitten and laid her down with Splash. Dead then ran out of the house, to go hunt by the river. Duststorm was walking around, prowling, already infected. The former warrior, father of Pinekit, found the apprentice. He growled, stepping on a stick as he stalked her. Dead was alerted, standing from her spot and turning her head quickly. Her eyes widened as she saw the infected warrior, and then he leaped at her. He ripped into her shoulder, causing her to screech. Splashpaw was woken up by the screech, and quickly ran out the door. He found the infected tearing out Dead's shoulder, and quickly rammed into him and got him off. Deadpaw grabbed Splashpaw and the two ran to the house again, Dead leaving a pool of blood behind them. They fell down and sat under the stairs, Dead wincing in pain. "Oh no.. Dead, not you too..." Splash whimpered. "You can fight it, right?" Dead nodded weakly, starting to cry in pain.
