Why Mapleshade’s Victims Were Innocent! by Sparktooth

When you think a little more, its all Ravenwings fault. If he hadn’t followed Mapleshade, he would not have seen anything and not said anything to Oakstar. Therefore she would not have been exiled and not crossed the river. Her kits would not have died, and she would have no need to avenge them. Ravenwing, Frecklewish and Appledusk would not be dead. She would go to StarClan and Tigerclaw would not be evil( because Mapleshade was Tigerclaws Dark Forest mentor), Reedshine would know that Appledusk is not interested and she would not have his kits, Whitestorm would not be dead becouse Scourge would not have come, Brindleface would not be dead, the dogs would not have been there, Bluestar would have lasted longer and she would not have lost her faith, Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt would not have to fight twice as strong and hunt twice as much to prove they are loyal, Hawkfrost and Mothwing would not exist cause Tigerclaw would have stayed in ThunderClan, Mothwing not existing would be bad but Hawhfrost? A different story. Wow Ravenwing, too far man, you influenced most of the first series with one may I say STUPID choice.

While I don’t think she should have died, Frecklewish shouldn’t have assumed that the father was Birchface. I mean, sure, Mapleshade hid who the father was, but it was Frecklewish who jumped to conclusions. The fact that the whole clan believed it wasn’t Mapleshade’s fault. Also when she saw the kits drowning, she should have saved them. By not saving the kits, she broke the warrior code. I think with all her hate of Mapleshade, she thought “why risk my life for her kits?” Anyway, if Mapleshade was so severely punished for breaking the code, I think Frecklewish should be too. While she was not punished by Oakstar, I think the punishment she got from Mapleshade was worse than anything Oakstar could have done. Not because of the hurt Mapleshade caused physically, but because I think she was very injured emotionally too, like the weight of what she did came crashing down on her. However, what Mapleshade did to Frecklewish was nothing compared to what happened to Mapleshade. Also I resent Ravenwing because if he felt bad that the kits were being punished or what their mother did, he shouldn’t have told Oakstar. Also he showed NO regret whatsoever for what he did. The warrior code says to protect kits, so Oakstar should have kept the kits. They could have grow into strong warriors that helped their clan. Also I’m sorry if I wrote too much, so before somebody falls asleep reading this, I’m going to end it.
