Flames Burning, The Bloody Battle Book Six

Chapter Two

Stonefeather stood crisp and still, who would do such a thing? Roughpool had been found dead out in the forest, a deep gash cut along his throat. The dawn patrol had found him, dead in a crimson pool. Nightwing's tears dripped down slowly, Roughpool was her father. Darkheart her sister stood beside her, pouring out tears. Stonefeather had barely got to know him, but it was a big loss to Ice Clan, so he mourned too.
He stared at the unsheathed claws of his clanmate and spotted brown and black tufts of fur wedged in his claws. He looked up at Meltingstar, "Meltingstar I think I found something". The clan gasped, Meltingstar stared at him, "Well?". "Look in Roughpool's claws, there is black and brown tufts of fur in them. Our killer has a tiger pattern" Stonefeather meowed, Meltingstar nodded, glimpsing at her deputy's claws.
There were whispers rippling through the crowd, Nightwing looked even more hurt. "Do you think it was THE tiger?" some cat yowled. Nightwing growled, "shush Crowpaw". But with the mention of THE tiger, the whispers got louder.
Meltingstar yowled, "quiet down everyone". The clan went silent. "We will worry about the murder of Roughpool later, as for now I must appoint a new deputy" Meltingstar jumped up on the Grand Stump, "I say these words over Roughpool's spirt to hear and approve, the new deputy of Frost Clan will  be Iceclaw". "ICECLAW ,Iceclaw!" the crowd cheered, their voices hoarse with crying. "I will take on the job proudly, and will try to be the deputy Roughpool wanted" Icewing meowed.
"Meeting dismissed" Meltingstar meowed as a shadow crept on his face, 'the tiger is after us, and it's all Stonefeather's fault'.
