Cautionary Tale: ??

Story: 

She awoke to a wailing from the nursery.

She already knew what it was. The tapir had told her, whispered the secrets of what was to come in her ear.

With a vacant look, she met her littermate's eyes. One whimper from Squidfur confirmed what she already knew. Charredkit had been taken in the night, by the woods.

"StarClan, poor Eagledew, she already....I can't handle it, what if it happened to me and-" Pearcurrent hushed Squidfur. "Not here."

The memories of her own trial were pushed into a dark corner of her mind, but Doepaw and Crowpaw's nights were clear as a stream.

Doepaw had wailed, begging not to go. The screeches were still ringing in her ears. They had woken the whole camp up.

Crowpaw refused to go near any of her Clanmates until her trial. Wordless, she walked into the woods, and was never seen again.

The woods had helped them. Driven away bears, Twolegs, a whole pack of dogs. But this wasn't worth it.

"This isn't worth it." Pearpaw said. Rabbitmoon looked to her, curious. "What do you mean-"

She shoved him forward, just in time for a passing monster. "You. Your life. It's not worth letting you live."

---

Pearcurrent touched noses with Warblerpaw, a slight tremble in her movements. The tremble was matched by the younger cat, now her apprentice. One of Squidfur's kits. StarClan, she can't mess this up.

"Warblerpaw will be the first to embark!"

She hated Runnelstar. She hated him so much. She could only hope she'd meet him in the Dark Forest.

---

Night fell. They didn't come back.

Only one of Squidfur's kits remained.

Yellowcough took her life soon after.

Pearcurrent just appears in the dark forest and starts screaming because she thinks it's the Woods and lunges at the first moving thing she sees. "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!"

okay I think our first thought here is of course it being a cat. But how funny would it be if they tackled like. A bush.
