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 turnsHe 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

Preparing for life's
Twists and turns

Your friends
But remember that
Life never ends
You sharpen your claws
