Pain and Confusion

   Dappledfoot looked around as bodies were carried out of came to be buried kits, elders warriors, this sickness took almost the whole clan. No one knew what too their lives, it couldn't have been greencough it killed everyone. She sighed in sadness watching her beautiful brown tabby sister be carried out with the rest. The she-cat looked down then her gaze shifted over to Sandstar's den, he hadn't been out all day whats wrong with him? Dappledfoot trotted over to his den peering in through the sage. She could see his body laying down motionless.  "Sandstar?", she didn't receive an answer the she-cat began to worry. Did the illness take him too!? Dappledfoot stepped into his sandy den to see him laying stiffly. "Sandstar?" she sniffed at hes sandy pelt and came closer. Dappledfoot froze stiff in her tracks. "No! Get up, get up Sandstar!"she hissed shaking him by the scruff, but no movement came from him. Dappledfoot wasn't ready to become the leader she may have been deputy but she had no idea how to care for the whole clan. She silently hissed and cursed to herself before she dragged him out to the grassy clearing. Brackenfur, Fireflower, and Mistypaw the other last remaining cats came up breathless looking down at their deceased leader. "The illness got him too...", Dappledfoot mumbled to the others. "That's not possible..." mewed Fireflower. "yes it is and the proof is at your paws..." Dappledfoot looked at her with sympathetic eyes but had to face that face herself. "What now Dappledfoot?" Brackenfur said looking up with eyes that have been glazed with sorrow and pain. "We don't have time to mourn for him now, we have to stay as if nothing happened..." Brackenfur and Mistypaw nodded in understanding, but Fireflower hissed in protest, "No something did happen we cant just pretend it didn't!" Dappledfoot looked over at her, "Maybe i didn't make myself clear...we have to move on this is life! things happen for a reason!"she stayed calm but raised her voice. "No he would have wan-" Fireflower was cut off by her deputy. "Sandstar would have wanted us to move on, and keep this clan strong! Don't argue with me because you will not win this one i can assure you that!" Fireflower then fell silent her pale green eyes twisted with pain and confusion. everyone fell silent after that and just followed orders from then on. "whats your name now?", asked Mistypaw as they all walked back from burring the last cat. "My name will now be...Dappledstar." Starclan help us...I can't do this on my own...
