Yup, she’d done it now.
If she didn’t leave, she would be killed, if she ever wanted to return she would be killed.
Well, it was time for Alderfoot to do what she knew best, taking a deep breath, she prepared to unleash her middle-aged fury...
“I will go,” She said, anger boiling, “But know this, Kestrelstar, even if you decide to let me return, I won’t. I will never forget what you have done, and what you are soon to do.
This path you are taking is far from what StarClan has set for you, I once respected you, but now I see how horrible you can be...
I hope you return to the proper path, Kestrelstar, because if you do not...”
Her eyes clouded with worry,
“A lot of innocent cats will die, and it will be all your fault.”
And with that, she swept her tail, lifted her chin, and with all her dignity, she stalked out of the home she’d known her whole life.
Forever.

Idiots. Everywhere. Could no one read a room? Yes, let's insult the clan leader who happens to have the power to exile (and right now, worse) during a very obvious mental breakdown. Brilliant idea.

He..should have felt something when Kestrelstar went in for the kill. Maybe he'd feel it later, like a bruise on his conscience that would throb after everything was over. Brightpaw would've yelled for their leader to stop; he could already imagine those big blue eyes boring into his pelt, begging him to do something and intervene, but Stormtalon didn't move a claw when it happened. He only stared ahead. Adamant in his decision which he believed would stave off further violence.

And really...if this cat was murdered, it was by the paw of his own impudence; Quietclaw let his tongue wag until Kestrelstar silenced it for good and that was a choice - not Storm's responsibility. Wasn't it?

Quiet died quick while the pungent scent of his blood permeated the air. Storm's features remained cold as stone. The numbness he used as a way to operate under pressure kept him safe from the impact of what he observed, and when the leader gave him an order, he nodded.

As Kestrelstar stalked off to nurse his fraying mind, Stormtalon approached Lotusheart and Blackrunner, dressed in a dangerous calm. The charcoal tabby flicked his tail once. "Don't make this harder than it has to be," he mewed, voice firm. Kits and apprentices and the whole damn clan watched them now. He hoped that at least these two would see sense and just leave. "I'll escort you to the border."

It didn't matter. Lotusheart will be a hero, whether they like it or not. Even if it involved working for the other side...

"Alderfoot, are you coming with me?" Blackrunner mewed, trying to sound defiant and strong despite the blackness that threatened to engulf him.
