A World Crumbled (AU)

A story of what could of been the remains of CarnationClan if Silverlight's plan had happened. Some cats have been given warrior names who were apprentices.

## Chapter 1~ The Rock Slide

Silverlight sat on the ledge, jumping and jumping. The stones were beginning to give away as he pounced, as if unable to hold him. All the cats were terrified. They felt as if abandoned by Starclan, but they knew they were powerless to stop Silverscar.Enough cats died trying already to know it was not worth it. The cats huddled together. Firerise stayed at the front along with Mistfur and Nightstar. The weaker or younger cats were further behind. The wind howled in there faces, as if wails of warning.

The snow still was falling heavily, making it impossible to escape their fate. Silverscar leapt down for a moment to look at his work. Nightstar's clouded and fearful gaze met Silverscar's

"Silverlight, you do not need to do this! Stop, and I am sure Starclan will at least consider you." Nightstar mewed.

"Silverlight, your so much better than this!" Mistfur added.

Silverscar seemed to think for a moment, the singular star on his pelt flickering. All the cats watched in terror as the star disappeared from his face, being carried off by a small string of tears. Silverscar's pelt darkened. He leapt back to his work, and Silverpaw flew up after him.

Silverpaw leapt at her father, and a grueling fight ensued above the clan. Silverpaw tried to get Silverscar off the cave ridge, but was tio late. Silverscar sprang and missed Silverpaw near the edge of the cave. Silverpaw bit his neck, killing him. She sighed in relief. She jumped back to her paws

A moment later, the cave fell in.

## Chapter 2~ The Aftermath

Dustyleaf woke up to find his not working legs trapped under the rocks. He was terrified. He glanced around. He saw almost all of his clanmates... dead.

He saw Firerise squished under a rock while protecting a now dead Tanfeather. Mistfur and Nightstar had both died while protecting the apprentices, who ultimately died too. He scanned all the faces he could make out. Cloudfall... Willowspirit... Ashpaw... Rainpaw...Firerise...Silverpaw... They were all dead. He turned around to see Tundraflare next to him, also dead. From behind him, he heard a terrified muffled wailing.

Dusty turned his head just enough to see Clover with her kit.

"Clover!" Dusty called.

"Clover, I can't feel this rock on my back paws, but can you get it off?" Dusty mewed quietly.

Clover pushed the rock off Dusty's back legs and helped him up.

"A-are they ALL dead?" Clover asked.

Dustyleaf pressed his head against everybody, confirming them all dead He stopped at Rainpaw, when he heard her troubled breathing. He pushed her away from Ashpaws dead body, who was curled around her to protect her.

He went back to his work, finding no more.

"It's you, myself, Rainpaw, and Cypresskit." Dusty confirmed.

"How do we make a clan out of that!" Clover squeaked.

"I don't know. Many of our clanmates joined Starclan tonight. They left us with one warrior... You Clover, must become Cloverstar." Dustyleaf mewed.

Clover's eyes widned.

"I can't, I have kits!" Clover reminded.

"Your the only warrior left. We will lose CarantionClan if you don't." Dusty retorted.

"How about you?" Clover mewed.

"A cripple leader? Go figure." Dusty snapped.

Clover felt uncomfortable. The storm had stopped, and it was clear outside, despite some snow.

"Let's go." Clover mewed.

"lead the way, Cloverstar." Dustyleaf mewed.

## Chapter 3~ Abort!

About a moon had past into Cloverstar's reign. She had no deputy, so when Rainpaw, now Rainsky had become a warrior, she was appointed deputy by default. Dustyleaf had taken the role of medicine cat, as the clan needed him. We had buried all of our dead and dedicated the former prisoner's den as a burial ground.

A loud yowl broke into the tiny camp. A small band of cats broke into camp, led by Darkfall and Brittlewind. RIppletide and the rest of Darkfall's pack was behind. Cloverstar Jumped toward them.

"Where is Nightstar?" Darkfall askeed.

"She died a moon ago, so did most of the others." Cloverstar mewed.

"and who surived?" Brittlewind asked.

"Dustyleaf, Rainsky,Cypresskit, and myself." Cloverstar repleid

"So Nightstar is no longer in power?" Darkfall asked.

"No." Cloverstar replied.

"Back down everyone." Darkfall mewed
