Story:
It wasn’t fair!
He had looked down at Wildpaw’s body, still warm with life, then around the clearing, as though he would see her murderer emerge from the trees.
The wind blew through the trees, bringing olive leaves blowing into his face. He shook them away and carried the body back to camp.
That night, as he slept, he saw Wildpaw waving an olive branch, a swarm of jays flying around her like a cyclone of feathers. Her gaze was frantic, and it didn’t take a genius to figure out who she meant.
Olivejay.
The tom had always been weird around Wildpaw, taking too much interest in her at every turn.
Haypad killed him. Ripped him open. Then went after Watersong, one of Newclan’s many medicine cats, who had given birth to Olivejay many moons before.
That night, Wildpaw had thanked him, purring as she called him the bravest cat in the clans. A harbinger of justice.
He set out on his new crusade the next day.
Over the course of a single moon, he dispatched four rogues. The next moon, six.
Unfortunately for Haypad, in his crusade, he had forgotten to fuel his body, and he would’ve died hungry--if his daughter hadn’t found him first.
