Ok, so, Shadowclan becomes victim to a mysterious sickness that seemed to spread through physical contact (which, obviously, would've been hard to treat) and began to cause the death of many. now, the Med-Cat App Ivypaw noticed something peculiar; the sickness came after 2 cats were unjustly exiled, and the cats getting sick seemed to be the ones who supported the decision- which was many. Ivypaw, who was originally a Starclan-non-believer, had a dream from Starclan confirming her suspicions and telling Ivypaw to 'be prepared for the unexpected'. a few days later, both the Leader and Deputy had died, leaving the clan Leaderless. obviously the clan kinda panicked but then Ivypaw- who, btw, was still a 8-ish moons APPRENTICE realized 'ohhhhh, THAT'S what they meant' and reluctantly became leader. somehow Ivystar managed to keep the fiasco under wraps and blamed the deaths of the Leader and Deputy on a freak accident from a recent storm, but the other clans couldn't help but notice how many loners were then joining Shadowclan . . .
