Ripplestream nearly screeched in pain, but she couldn't stop now. She switched to her other paw, applying more poultice and putting on so many cobwebs Otterstar's neck that it looked like she had a huge white lump on her neck. She commanded Willowleaf, "Find a stick. A strong one. One that won't break easily or splinter." Sticks were typically used for birthing queens, but Ripplestream thought that Otterstar was in even more pain than that.

But if she bites down.. won't her muscles contract? She could bleed the rest of her life's out.. It wasn't going to left anycats lips, but starclan had intertwined it's paws with otterstar.
"B..but she'll bleed..Otterstar cant.." Willowleafs paws caved in, the deputy trembled, nothing could be done , that was it, Otterstars pelt was now taking the shape of a wrinkled Gray carcass , only with otterstars , it was almost like the blood draining out of her took any color she had earned right out from that gash. Otterstars eyes were glossed with a white film and she twitched only barely. This was her last life.

Ripplestream realized that a stick wouldn't be of much use now. "What am I supposed to do?! How am I supposed to stop the bleeding inside of her?! I can't just have her swallow a poultice!" Ripplestream yowled, her former calm finally shattered. "I've put every single herb I know that stops bleeding into that poultice! And then all of my cobwebs!" This couldn't be happening. Otterstar would die, and Willowleaf was nowhere near ready to be leader. She felt like she had failed already. The useless medicine cat muttered something imperceptible to anyone but herself.
"Brooktail should've been deputy."

(Lol I know I just typed a huge post and accidentally deleted most of it so I just put that done until I typed it again cx)
Willowleafs fear boiling over into pure rage, The deputy stepped up to meet the medicine cats height.
"You must be Joking...
..right? You have to be, Your suggesting a cat who... could of killed Otterstar??, All you've done is tossed a few cobwebs on her while shes bleeding to death right in front of you and choicing to attack me, I didn't ask to be the deputy!"
Willowleaf was a calm soft-natured sweet cat before all this happened, What stood before Ripplestream was a cat with harsh twisted wrinkles and a pelt oozing with smoldering lava. Her two flamed irises almost penetrated through Ripplestreams soft blue waves, Like that one look could sprout an army of thorned cats in a twitch.
The deputy threw her blood dipped paws in front of Ripplestreams face, splattering spots of the leaders blood over her nose and muzzle.
"See all this blood?? It's enough to fill the rivers! Every puddle, every drop or SPECKLE IS YOUR-
"Otterstars dead"
Brooktail stood above the leader, Otterstar was twisted into a mess of a cat, A repeat of curlcall, As they were arguing the leader had bled her final life with eyes rolled up-words an out streched paw to call for help but no voice to accompany it. The stench of the inflicted wound was enough to pull a cat into the ground it soaked with blood.

Duskpaw sighed, giving up. She sat down on the ground, waiting to see if Otterstar would live. Dawnpaw joined her, and they sat in silence.

Ripplestream stared back, shocked. "I..." It was over, Otterstar was dead. Grief began to fill her. "I... I used all of our cobwebs. To try to save her." Her voice cracked. "I did everything. You... you..." Her voice began to shriek in rage. "You didn't do anything. You... you're a nice cat. Under pressure, you broke. A leader," she paused, "A leader has to have more sense. You're a great deputy, but you aren't ready. And you don't realize how weak the clan is now. If a badger were to attack and wound a cat right now, they would bleed to death because there aren't any cobwebs left. Otterstar shouldn't have died. I did everything I could." She began to think. "You know what, enjoy being leader. 'Cause at this rate, you won't be alive by next moon. A deputy and a leader dead in the same moon. Think about it. Whoever did this, you'll be their next target."

Willowleaf forced everything and anything that was trying to slip past her tongue to the deepest part of her mind. It's like a reverse death wish
Impale yourself on the sharpest rock you find, I hope and wish you luck, all eyes on you, friend. She was so deep in the thought of trying to make sense of what, This, folly masked cat, Was trying to to tell her to do, that while the rooms were so silent, She actually was starting to make rhythm of the drops of water coming through the rocks cracks at the top of the den. (if you want the effects of this next part, listen to this while you read -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=POoGZsH2ZFQ&feature=player_detailpage) ♪ da da da, da da da da da dum ♪
♪ dum dum da dum dum da dum ♪
♪ do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do do do ♪
♪ da dum, da dum ♪ That rhythm reminded her of one of the first steps in the forest willowpaw had with the "Younger Clan", back at the time where their were only a paw-full of members, Some of them were gone now, Maybe they were the ones that killed Otterstar. The small bunch of members all took steps close to eachother knowing this was new territory and anything could happen, Apprentices learned that quick. Curlpaw forgot it, some came from "Houses" or "streets" but they all ended up passing this wooden "House" out in the middle of the grassland following a trail into the deep waters that is the rushing river. It wasn't much, More like a small den put together with sticks and wheat. Mouse infested the holes which the den stood on, scurrying back into their little dark pits when our bodies broke their doorstep and flashed white. A few of them were tangled in our claws, little catches, The weaker ones. (if your using the link song, skip to 2:00 for this part~) Then the most.... strangest, There wasn't a word to explain it really, I never heard something like it. From the inside of the house, We expected no human to be in there alive.
♪ Da dum, da dum, da dum da dum da dum dumdumdum ♪ Slowly but surely it went from little noises that could of came from the mice below to these deep... "Sound," it almost made Willowpaw feel angry and uneasy, but mostly just little bits of rage. After the mad noises, it never happened again, now it just feels uneasy for her to go around there again. Willowleaf spotted a droplet let go of its spot on the top of the den, As it flew past her eyelashes she blew it towards Ripplestream. It was arguable whether that could be felt or not. "What do we need to do now?" Willowleaf asked flatly, giving no hint of anything else but a little bit of sorrow.

(Don't quite understand the mice and music, but I have something to say. Snowfeather, can you please stop killing everyone? Ripplestream used all of the herbs she could, all of the cobwebs, and still Otterstar dies? This is really depressing. My cat needs to be able to actually do something. She's the medicine cat, for crying out loud! I looked up the right herbs and everything, and its really frustrating to see all of that go to waste because apparently the medicine cat can't do anything! For a moment, I actually considered having the medicine cat commit suicide because apparently she has the death touch! Example: Ripplestream nearly screeched in pain, but she couldn't stop now. She switched to her other paw, applying more poultice and putting on so many cobwebs Otterstar's neck that it looked like she had a huge white lump on her neck.And yet: "See all this blood?? It's enough to fill the rivers!" This has been really hard on me because, we got the rock out, I researched a poultice, and yet Otterstar still dies! Oh, and another thing: are you aware of the word imperceptible? It means that it cannot be perceived, in other words, Willowleaf shouldn't have been able to hear Ripplestream's comment!)

*Definently not late for a reply* Gravelrock watched in horror. His own leader was excruciatingly sent to her death, and he didn't even do much to help. "Otterstar... I'm sorry.."

Ripplestream stared at Willowleaf. The deputy had seemed to remember something, but the medicine cat couldn't tell what. Willowleaf seemed to have calmed down some. "Well, you're going to have to announce Otterstar's death to the rest of the clan. I wouldn't mention anything about being murdered, however. That would just make the clan panic. Then I'll take you to the Moonpool, you'll become a leader, and you'll announce your deputy," she mewed, not quite sure whether or not she was still angry.

I see what you mean, didn't realize I wasn't giving you a chance to save someone or use your abilities.. I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you, This has just been about the way I planned it to go and not in fortune or really anyone else. I'll change what the next events are and give everyone a chance to do something.
Otterstar was killed off because I was already stretching the realism when she didn't already die from being impaled by the rock (Which I probably should of just had her dead when a cat came in), When it was removed she was down to her last 2-3 (forget which number I put) two holes in her neck killed her, If she had been saved I couldn't see a cat being healed from that kind of wound straight through.
I wasn't aware of it, to be honest.
(to your first part) The music link had happy sweet short notes as it went on, then at "The cats paws at the mices doorstep" It would start getting deeper and more "Angry" to kinda foretell something bad. The mice are the clan cats, The cats paws on the doorstep was something bad about to happen. The dark pits the mice fled into was supposed to represent the clan cats feeling scared, running away/from their problems. The mice who were "tangled in the cats paws" were the cats who experienced the pain or fear the most (curlpaw). (I hope that made sense cx)
But still, I'm really sorry about that, I will have something big for ripplestream to do soon

(Oh, it's fine. Sorry I was a bit overly upset. Didn't really think about it that way, to be honest. Just felt like the medicine cat would be very depressed after failing to save three cats in the same moon. It's nothing, really, I tend to overreact. )

Cheetahkit was waiting outside the leader's den, waiting to hear what had happened. she had heard an argument that seemed to take place between Ripplestream and Willowleaf. she was worried that something had happened.
