A normal day in Skyclan...sorta

Brambleclaw came out of the warriors den and went to the fresh kill pile and took a cardinal for himself and spotted some of his clanmates sitting down so he went towards them and sat down next to Raincloud. He saw that Stormwing, Minkfur, and Creampaw looked grief stricken and was curious, " Hey,is something wrong?" he asked while taking a bite from his meal.

"Gracestep is dead." Stormwing mewed quietly.

Brambleclaw could barely swallow his piece of cardinal but managed to swallow it and all his hunger vanished. Remembering the time that his mentor, Coldglance, mysteriously disappeared and how Gracestep trained him came back. She was always so nice even though she decided to go to RiverClan. "I-I'm so sorry." he managed to murmur to Stormwing and Minkfur

"What?!" Raincloud meowed suddenly. "When? How?" she questioned frantically. Gracestep had been her mentor and it was bad enough she left the clan, and now she was dead.

"Just today. A giant hawk killed her...or at least that's what I think happened. All I know is I saw a huge hawk soar over the territory when I was on patrol, and it was carrying Gracestep, dead." Stormwing explained quietly, her fur beginning to rise. She was shivering with tension. The conversation was obviously making her very uncomfortable.

Brambleclaw looked at Raincloud and laid his tail tip gently on her head because it looked as if her fur was starting to bristle, "I'm sorry for you to Raincloud. Gracestep was an amazing mentor, friend, and mother." he said looking at Stormwing and Minkfur with sad eyes. "Even though she joined RiverClan I know that she will still be watching over all of us from StarClan." he mewed

Stormwing was shuddering so much it was visible now. Suddenly, she stood up, abandon her prey to Minkfur, and half walked, half stumbled, into their den. She lay down in her nest and shut her eyes tight. Tears crowded around the edges of her eyes.

Stonestar was sitting at the edge of the clearing and was quiet. He was mourning the loss of his kin "We shall hold a vigil for her tonight in the center of camp" Stonestar declared

Brambleclaw heard Stonestar's call, finished his prey and padded to the center of the camp and sat back down with his head down as he grieved for Gracestep.

Raincloud turned to see Stonestar sitting at the edge of the clearing. She blinked in thanks knowing that even though Gracestep left the clan, Stonestar, who looked grief stricken himself, was still allowing a vigil for her former mentor.

When it was dark enough, Stormwing finally padded out and sat down by herself in a dark area shaded near the center of camp. She lay her head on her paws and stares straight forward, unmoving and silent.

ooc: can i sit vigil too or do i have to stay in the nursery with the kits?

ooc: Of course your aloud, as long as you are able to hear the kits if they get upset. No one should be banned from mourning the ones they love.

New avatar=Stormkit X3 (I know she doesnt have white face fur anymore; that was kit fur o3o)

Raincloud padded out from the nursery and lied down with her head in her paws, but she stayed within earshot of the kits. She looked over at Stormwing and nodded at her in acknowledgement of her presence.
