Thornstar yawned,laying down on her side.She closed her eyes,and sleep came over her quickly.As she merely turned over,in her dream was a nightmare she was trapped in.She was back near Highstones,with her beloved leader next to her.Thornstar knew what was going to happen,she had already reared back before the poacher's bullet hit her leaders thick skull.The crack made her shudder,and her leader was giving up her eighth life.She came back,but with very little time.The bullet was taking the last life as well.Not even Starclan could heal such a wound."Thornheart,come here."Moorstar rasped.Thornstar managed to move over her leader,her eyes already wet with tears,"I am here."she said looking at the other two warriors bent low in sorrow as they too listened to her last words."Thornheart,I have no deputy,I know I was to appoint one last night after Tornear died bravely defending camp,but now as leader of Cougarclan,announce my deputy and leader.I know,because you are my zoopet son's cub that it will seem unfair to the clan,but you were loyal from the beginning.Yes,I can still remember what you did to that badger cub."She laughed softly,but ended in a rasping shudder as her body convulsed.There was nothing Thornheart could do,the only mother she had ever known was being taken by Starclan."I...I
