- She doesn't blame them. The medicine cats try their best, she knows that. But she doesn't like not being able to keep her clan safe.

- The clan awakes to an empty nest and missing prey. They find his body outside a fox den.

- Wavestar takes this hard. Breezeice, their son, lays with her in her nest as she cries.
- Kelpdrop and Rayshimmer reunite in Starclan.

- Wavestar and Clamheart surprise the clan by becoming mates. Not too surprised but... surprised.

Moon 151
- Duckbramble wants a lot of kits. Stormhusk doesn't get it really.

- Toadfreckle steps out of the medicine den and goes to meet the clan. Wavestar can hardly believe it. Carrionplace disease! Survived. Mikhailfish must be so proud.
- Guppysong, Bubblingberry, and Salvageflood protect three apprentices from a vicious dog. Guppysong finds himself among the stars... alone at least. He hopes the clan knows he was brave. 
- Brinestripe goes on a patrol alone to look for the dog. He's gon for hours... Wavestar goes looking. Search parties, cats alone, anything. A wandering kittypet flinches as the clan cats alone, commenting lowly that he's certain the two legs got him.
- Wavestar can't seem to process this. She looks to Starclan, begs them to send him home. Begs Crabgrass to lead Brinestripe home, like he was lead home.

Moon 153
- Deliwave becomes the deputy. He's... fine. Weak leg. Wavestar and him don't... it's not like they don't get along, but they don't know eachother well. 
- 108 moons, Brinestripe is only 76. He'd have longer before retiring. He's still Wavestar's preferred choice.

- No sign of Brinestripe unfortunately.

Moon 155
- Heronclaw sadly gives up on his mate. Wavestar tries to make him reconsider, but Heronclaw is sure he's single now.
- Scaleblossom dies from water in his lungs, Duckbramble is bitten by a venomous spider, Greenflood fades day by day, and Siltbeam dies from a claw wound.
- Scaleblossom's death shocks Wavestar. Her brother... She only has one sibling left. Breezethistle's kits all... with her. Fishwhisker and her feel very alone.
- Fishfleck and Ripplegaze welcome a single kit, Pebblekit.

OTHER

I Scream. Brinestripe you can't give me heart attacks like that



Wavestar is 160 moons ftr. Clamheart and her have had crushes on eachother for ages so I wasn't surprised they became mates but like... same moon as Kelpdrop's death is... a lot. 
And Marinedapple ahhhh. I was trying to get him and Heronclaw to fight, was not expecting a fox death. I liked him. 

And no Deliwave didn't do anything wrong but like... I can't have a Delistar. And if I switched the name it'd be Wavestar 2. No.
