Brambleclaw was waiting, just waiting. Crouching among the ferns he readied himself for the battle with ShadowClan

Standing still

Among the ferns

Preparing for life's

Twists and turns

He desperately hoped that Tawnypelt wouldn't be there. He didn't want to battle his sister. He didn't want her hurt. Well she would be in StarClan then, happy forever.

Be ready to battle

Your friends

But remember that

Life never ends

Brambleclaw unsheathed and sheathed his claws nervously. He made long deep scratches in the earth imagining it to be a cat's pelt. He leaped out of the way when a shape launched at him. The battle had begun.

You sharpen your claws

Against the unseen

Striking at where

You had been

It was Smokefoot a ShadowClan warrior. Brambleclaw hissed and landed a blow on the tom. His aim was true.

The enemy was there

From leaping at you

You attacked

Straight and true

Long gashes gushing blood ran across the attacker's side. Brambleclaw gave the intruder a blow to the head. The battle was moving in a blur.

Blood now glistening

Against his fur

You struck his head

Life was a blur

Smokefoot ran back to the border. Brambleclaw was thrilled to see many ShadowClanners following him. Firestar gave a yowl of victory. The battle was over and now they could get some fresh kill.

The battle is over

For now at least

Now it is time

For you to feast.

Brambleclaw thought about the battle. It had gone well. He had shown Smokefoot who the stronger warrior was, him. His sister was not hurt for she had not been there. It had been a pretty good day.

As he started dozing off he remembered each event of the day. He relived it all. And to his mind all was as it should be.

Standing still
