As I lay Dieing

[Warheart]

Warheart padded slowly over to the biggest rock, in the Fossil Valley. The same one with her very pawprint on it, which indicated a divine leadership she once had over all of RageClan. With what strength she had left, Warheart lept atop the rock, and immediately crashed down on it. Her paws would no longer carry herself through RageClan's dead woods. Old age had merely set in, and she had spent her entire life loyal to this very clan.

Scars proved herself from many battles won, reinforced claws unsheathed for good as to be remembered for her lust for fighting. Green optics remained bright for awhile, but they grew dull as her thoughts were cast over everything she ever loved.

Her life was fading slowly, but she didn't let go just yet....muscles rippled through black fur as her bodice shifted to the entrance of the camp, a smile drew across her maw as she watched the bushes part....

Coldpaw had watched Warheart leaving camp, and out of pure curiosity, folloqwed her. "Warheart?" He saw the she-cat laying atop a rock and rushed over "Whats wrong Warheart?" Sootpelt walked out behind Coldpaw and upon seeing Warheart, padded over. She knew Warheart was old, and she looked as if she was dying.

[Warheart]

Warheart looked away from the parted bushes and towards Coldpaw slowly. She wasn't going to lie. " I'm dieing " she responded lightly, her tail swished slowly across the rock, accepting her own words.

[Squid]

Coldpaw's fur bristled and his face expression turned sad "Your dying? But why?" He didnt know Warheart when she was still leader, so he didnt know she was that old. Sootpelt nodded "Its okay Coldpaw, go back to camp" The young apprentice nodded and ran back to camp, passing by Eagletalon who now stood beside Sootpelt. "Shes dying" The gray she-cat told Eagletalon. "I know" He whispered laying his head down on the rock and looking at Warheart sadly.

[Warheart]

Warheart turned her head to Eagletalon, her paw outstretched and touched his, black fur glistened in the rays of moonlight that shown down. She had to say what should have been said a long time ago. " Eagletalon..I've always loved " she managed to say, choking back guilt of Phantom. She would miss him as well.

Rebelheart had watched from the shadows, to saddened by the moment to move, but alast she bounded to her mothers side, nuzzling her in the neck and purring softly. " Oh mom... " she whined.

Warheart rested her tail across Rebelheart's shoulders. " I love you " she mewed, gaze turning to Rebelheart for a moment, she felt her life start slipping away even faster now, everything became blurry.

" I'll watch over all of RageClan.... " she whispered, her eyes shut and body became limp and lifeless, but her scent still lingered.

Rebelheart's eyes teared up and she kept herself beside Warheart, weeping silently.

[Squid]

Sootpelt bowed her head in sadness "The clan will miss her". Eagletalon pushed back the tears "Someone has to tell Phantom and Navystrike" He managed to say, lifting his head and stepping back.

[Warheart of DreamClan]

Wildstorm dashed into the clearing and practically threw herself at the great rock, she scrambled up and stared at Warheart, realizing she was to late. Her sister was already gone. Tears streamed down her face and she threw herself down beside the dark she-cat.

Blackflash pelted after her followed by Timberflame and Firenight. They surrounded her dead body as well, Blackflash and Timberflame's eyes shown with sadness, but they remained as they were, bowing their heads in respect for their deceased clan-mate.

Firenight took a spot beside Wildstorm, tears watering his eyes as he looked Warheart over, then pressed his muzzle into her side.

Battleheart dashed into the clearing, " I just heard! " he yowled, then went silent as he realized she had lost the rest of her life. He frowned, amber eyes filled with sadness as he padded slowly towards her dead boy, then rested his muzzle into her side as all Warhearts clan-mates had done.
