Something was very wrong today.
Sootfur was grooming himself when Dovefluff raced into camp with her fur soaked up in the blood. Pelt bristling, he immediately got to his paws but then realized the queen was not in a hurry.. She didn't seem to be followed, or even injured. However, her expression was terribly miserable.
As he heard the unfortunate cat's name, he realized his old mentor had died. And not only that - but murdered in one of the worst possible ways in their own territory.
Sootfur slowly walked up to Dovefluff, his face a mask of stone as he tried to keep his emotions under control. He'd never imagined Darkpetal dead, especially because they weren't as close as he'd wished for. But now it was real, and it hit him like a sharp claw through his chest.
The gray tabby touched the gray queen's head with his for a few moments, keeping the silence in a thankful gesture that he was sure she would understand before disappearing in the undergrowth, heading for Willow's Rise to see what had remained of his former mentor.

"Oh, dear... dear Dovefluff..." He whispered in sorrow, too shocked to say anything else. Why had he brought her here? What if she'd stayed in Shadowclan instead of fleeing, following the advice of a young, inexperienced warrior?
Would Echokit still be alive?
Guilt gnawed at Sootfur's bones and crushed his chest. Seeing the queen so miserable was almost unbearable.
He lay down with her for a while, silence between the two as other cats came and pay their respects to the fallen little kit and her poor mother in pain. He lowered his head and prayed that wherever he was, Starclan would take care of Dovefluff's last kit as the most precious treasure from Thunderclan.
