## Life

### Adult Life

Leafwing, soon after becoming a warrior, went through easy times. The beginning of her new life was easy. She watched the cat she liked fall in love with someone else, Frostwhisper, but she soon died a few moons later. Swiftflight and Leafwing were good friends, but after Leafwing came into the Clan, she fell in love with the small tomcat. One day, when the two were out hunting, they were met with a mother fox and her cubs. A battle ensued and the two were victorious, although they received lasting injuries, Leafwing's being a scar on her top and bottom side. Later on, Leafwing became Swiftflight's mate.

A few moons later, Leafwing got a bought of redcough, but just when the end seemed near a starry figure appeared and informed Leafwing that she still had a life to live and would not die there. Before this, Leafwing did not fully believe in StarClan, but instead pretended as if she did around her Clanmates. This whole ordeal made her believe in them and that she was not alone.

Leafwing soon after had three kits with Swiftstar, Silverkit, Skykit, and Wolfkit.

Four moons later, Swiftstar was taken advantage by the cat who killed his father Wolfstar, Rabbitspring. Swiftstar attacked Leafwing and her daughter Silverkit. Leafwing and her kits escaped to ShadowClan where she was kept safe. At the time, Leafwing was with kits, so being attacked by Swiftstar brought anxiety attacks upon her again.

Swiftstar soon left the Clan, leaving the Clan is disarray. Leafwing didn't quite realize he had left, so she stayed in camp, waiting for her second litter to be born. Swiftstar had left with Sunstreak and became mates with her in Twolegplace, for Sunstreak was with kits. As soon as Sunstreak and Swiftstar came back into camp, Leafwing started having her kits, who she named Splashkit and Falconkit.

Swiftstar resigned as leader and forced Leafwing into leadership, and she soon received her nine lives, taking the name Leafstar.

Soon after resigning as leader, Swiftflight padded into camp, bitten by a snake, and died. Leafstar was still angry at Swiftflight, but cared a lot about him. The night after he died, she came to StarClan and talked to him, Willowspirit, and their sister(idk the name ok).Two moons later, Swiftflight and Leafstar's daughter, Skypaw, died, and Leafstar renamed her Skyspirit to ensure safe travels to StarClan. She went to StarClan, yet again, and talked to Skyspirit and Swiftflight. Swift had a nonchalant attitude, leaving an even more distraught Leafstar. The days afterward were filled with exhaustion and sadness. Brightstep noticed this and asked what was wrong. She proceeded to say that her daughter had died and her ex-mate didn't give a fox's dung about it.

Later on, when Leafstar and Brightstep met up for a hunt in the forest, a tree fell over Brightstep, and Leafstar rushed to get her out of the way, and the tree crushed her, leaving Leafstar with a life lost. She met a cat in StarClan, whom Leafstar had a wonderful conversation with,

> Leafstar woke up in StarClan. "The tree," she murmured. Everything coming into mind. "Brightstep! Send me back! I need to make sure she's okay!" Leafstar yelled out. She knew a life was lost, but that didn't matter. As long as Brightstep was okay. "StarClan, send me back..." She didn't want to face all the starry cats. They would be ashamed of what the RiverClan leader had become- a sorrowful, depressed, scared cat.

> A tall, lanky grey tom padded over, looking at the leader in pity. A muscular ginger she-cat followed him, but kept her distance - this wasn't her clan, and she had no reason to interfere. The tom sighed, drawing closer. "What has happened to Riverclan?" he breathed in horror. "A leader who cheats and lies, and now a leader intent on self-destruction."
>

> "It's not my fault! It was that tree!"
>
>

> "I'm not talking about the tree," he cut in.
>
>

> She looked to the side, ashamed. "I didn't want to lead RiverClan. I just wanted to be there for Swiftstar. But I failed that too."
>
>

> He narrowed his eyes. "Like it or not, you're leader now. You have more lives to protect than just your own."
>
>

> "I /protected/ Brightstep! Is she dead? No! I protect her and my clan over my own life. My life doesn't matter anymore."
>
>

> "And what happens when you die?" he retorted. "What happens to your clan and friends?"
>
>

> "They will go on without me, and I'll become a distant memory. I don't deserve to live, or be remembered."
>
>

> "This constant self-pity is damaging your clan!" he roared. "It is bringing them down and weakening you as a whole!"
>
>

> "I don't care! As long as my clan is alive and well, I don't matter! I will stay alive for my clan, and my children. And that's all. Leave me alone!"
>
>

> "You weaken them with your attitude. Go back to your clan and think about what you have done."
>
>

> "Am I not allowed to grieve for my daughter?" She whispered. "Am I not allowed to be weak at times?"
>
>

> "But it's not at times, is it," was his parting remark. "It's all the time."
>
>

> She looked away, ashamed. "You're right. I have been weak. But someone like me is deserving of a little break sometimes." She looked more determined now. "I-I will. I'll do what you said."
>
>

Leafstar had a moment of realization as she woke up - that she could be strong all the time, and that at this time, she was being hurtful towards her clan. She turned away from the darkness and pursued happiness, looking towards her kits to be happy, and her friends.

Then, her friend Almondnose died to a dog in ThunderClan.

Soon, as she was visiting the grave she had made for her friend in No Clan's Land, a dog attacked her and took the rest of her lives.

## Notable Quotes

"But one thing I do know is that I will live through you, and my sons and daughter. I will live through RiverClan. I will live through every cat that knew me. As long as my memory is still alive, I will not die." Leaf to Creekfrost

"She nodded sadly. "My sister Brightstep is going to be leader now. She's a smart cat, but she is naive and doesn't know how to lead a clan. You're like a brother to me, Lionstar, and as my last request...help her to be a good leader, like you. You're clan thrives. She is following in my pawsteps blindly, and she has already been through a dark road before. Make sure that never happens to her again, especially not now." Leafstar to Lionstar

"Oh, but you do. You'll become leader now. You'll lead my clan like I did. I'm so excited to see who you'll become." She paused. "I give you a life of endurance. Times get hard, and it's up to us to push through it. You are strong, and you've had to be. Be strong for your big sister one more time." Leaf to Bright when she's getting her nine lives

"She laughed as well. "Sorry! I thought you might yell at me, haha." Leaf to Fawngaze after she greets her best friend in StarClan after Leaf dies

"Of course, and the same for you. You're a wonderful cat. Fix things, okay? Lakeblossom-dapple-whatever her name is...she still loves you. She'll come to her senses. No one can stand Furstar for long." She laughed at the last sentence. "Now, promise me one more thing. No coming too early! I don't plan to see you for another forty moons. If I see you before that, prepare for a smack with a mouse! Then you have to watch me eat that mouse. None for you if you come for that." Leaf to Lion...again. She will smack him with a mouse. :D

"Thank you. All those moons ago, when I was a stupid and naive young cat, you let me take shelter in ShadowClan whilst I waited out a certain tom-cat's wrath. I never wanted to argue with you, never wanted to become enemies with you. Your the cat that actually practically saved me. But I betrayed you, threatened you, when clearly it was stupid. And I truly am sorry." Leaf to Furstar

"Well, then consider yourself a part of my family. Whitepaw and Skyspirit would be okay with another aunt!" Leaf to Nutmegseed in StarClan

"It's too early for you to die, but alas, we cannot stop death, nor begin life. Cats will remember you for protecting your clan, and that is a rememberable attribute." Leaf to the newly dead snowpaw

"I didn't want to be the weak leader, i wanted to be the leader recovered after her mates death, after her mates cheat, after her mates decisions. Not weak. No one should've had to know, especially you. You're going to lead RiverClan after me. And sooner or later, I will die. I didn't want you to worry about me for this time that i'm leader." Leafy to Brighty

"But one thing I do know is that I will live through you, and my sons and daughter. I will live through RiverClan. I will live through every cat that knew me. As long as my memory is still alive, I will not die." -Leafstar to Creekfrost
