Strongkit licked his mouth in digust. "They were gross herbs," he mewed before he started coughing again. Lightwing nuzzled her kit, and then he went limp. The gray and white tabby froze. She loked for the rise and fal on Strongkit's chest, but there was none. He was dead. After a moment of studden silence tars welled up in Lightwing's eyes and spilled over. Her kit was gone. "Strongkit," she sobbed. "What's wrong?" Stonepaw asked. His question wasn't directed at anyone, he just wanted an answer.

Moonfeather glanced over at Lightwing, and spotted her crying. She padded over to comfort her.
Fernheart followed Moonfeather and wrapped her tail around Stonepaw, her pelt pressing to Lightwing's.

Minnowfur stepped back and hissed, "Blackcough is going to destroy the clan. Silverstar." She turned to the leader.

Lightwing licked Strongkit's white fur. Silverstar padded up to the medicine cat and said, "Don't say that. This is just another battl we must win." Stonepaw looked at the limp body of Strongkit in shock.

"Silverstar. If one cat coughs. Send them to me." Minnowfur hissed,
Weaselpaw stood frozen in shock.
Flamepaw backed away so he could cough.

Silverstar looked at th medicine cat and nodded. Then she instructed, "Everyone out of this den unless you are a medicin cat ot sick." The leader then proceedd to pick up the body of Strongkit. With Lightwing they placed it in the center of camp. As soon as his fur touched the ground Lightwing stuck hr muzzle into Stronkit's fur.

Minnowfur grabbed some herbs and raced back to prepare Strongkit's body. While she was doing this, she explained all the herbs and why she was useing them. she ended with, "Strongkit was lucky he lived that long... blackcough is hard on kits."

Sparklepaw watched in horror as Strongkit had died... "What just happened?" she asked, not knowing what blackcough was.

Minnowfur glanced over. "Blackcough is a disease that is a killler, worse than greencough. Cats get fevers, cough, get sick... it's horrible. Strongkit survived for a while."

"How do we stop it?" Sparklepaw asked, "Isn't there a herb that will cure it?" Sparklepaw wasn't happy that she would be hanging around all these sick cats with blackcough. What if she got sick? That way, she could never become a medicine cat... or a leader!

Lightwing looked up. Her eyes were wet with tears. Silverstar padded over to the fluffy white kit. She bowed her head and murmmered sometihng about StarClan.

"Do we have any? Why didn't we use any of Strongkit? Why didn't he get better?" So many questions Sparklekit asked. She needed to know, if she was going to be any use. StarClan had chosen her to be Minnowfur's apprentice; to never lead the life of a warrior; so she had to be ready.... though, it would be hard.

Minnowfur sighed. "I gave him lots... greencough is deadly... but blackcough... is a killer." Minnowfur finished preparing the body.

Sparklepaw nodded, keeping that in mind.
