"Fox attack!" Burningstar yowled as a pack of 6 foxes poured into the camp. "Duststorm! You and I will guard the nursery!" He walked quickly towards the fox that was sticking his nose into the opening of the nursery. "Stay out of there!" He hissed at the fox. Burningstar launched himself into the air and squarely on the fox's back. Duststorm darted in and batted at the fox's paws.

"Burningstar!" Goldenlight hissed quietly from the nursery. The light brown tom glanced at his mate. He glanced at Duststorm and nodded, walking into the nursery.

"What?" He asked, worried.

"You can't fight! You will be killed, you are on your last life!" She exclaimed, a panic coursing through her.

"It's a chance I'm willing to take." He hissed to her. He turned to leave, glancing at her over her shoulders. He turned around quickly and licked her ears. "I love you, always have and always will." He whispered, and turned away from her, without looking back. He launched himself at the fox that Duststorm was still fighting with.

"Brother!" Burningstar yelped at the fox lunged at Duststorm. He jumped over and knocked Duststorm out of the way and slashed the fox's nose in the process. The fox whined and rubbed at his nose. Burningstar looked at his brother triumphantly, thinking the Fox would run away now – but it didn't. The fox just got angrier. It lunged towards the clan leader's throat.

"No!" Duststorm yowled, as the fox caught Burningstar's throat. He jumped up and tried to pry the fox off, but couldn't do it. "Burningstar, stay with me! Don't you die!" He cried. He could see the life fading from his brother's eyes. "Burningstar!" He yowled in despair. "Burningstar…" He whispered softly.

"My kits!" Goldenlight yowled from inside the nursery. "They're coming! Nighthawk! Sweetpaw!" She called for the two medicine cats. Sweetpaw raced into the nursery, a thick stick in her mouth.

"Put this in your mouth. Bite when the pain comes." She ordered. "But don't worry, everything will be fine…" She murmured encouragingly to the queen.

"You're going to have four kits, so…" Nighthawk looked at her, his eyes dark. "May StarClan watch over you while you kit." He said softly. He placed his paws on Goldenlight's belly, and pushed lightly. "Push the kit out!" He ordered. Goldenlight yowled in pain, the kit coming out. Nighthawk nipped the sack and nudged the kit towards Sweetpaw. "Lick its fur the wrong way." He commanded. Sweetpaw did as told, and started lapping at the small kit. The other three kits came out and Nighthawk, Sweetpaw, Darkmeadow, and Goldenlight were all licking the small animals. Nighthawk took them, making sure they were all breathing and placed them beside the mother's stomach. "What will you name them?" he asked.

"This one will be Firekit, this one Lilykit, and this one will be Softkit." She purred, stopping before looking at the last small kit, a brown tom. "This one will be…" She glanced at Nighthawk and smiled. "This one will be Bramblekit. After Burningbramble, Burningstar's warrior name." She looked around. "Where is he, by the way?"

"He uh…" Nighthawk glanced at Sweetpaw, and she nodded solemnly. "He was killed in battle. Goldenlight, I'm so sorry." He said softly, bowing his head.

"Oh… Okay." Goldenlight said slowly. "Everyone out. Send in Songheart." She ordered Nighthawk.

"Okay." He wrapped his tail around Sweetpaw and led her outside and towards the medicine cat's den. Darkmeadow stood and stretched, exiting the den. "Songheart?" She called. "Goldenlight wants you." Songheart looked up and nodded, walking towards the nursery.

"Congratulations, Songstar." Goldenlight said, forcing herself not to growl when the new leader walked in.

"Uh… Thanks." Songheart said. "But I'm still Songheart. I haven't received my leader title." She said sheepishly.

"Whatever." Goldenlight growled. "But you better be a good leader, because Burningstar just had to die." She said harshly.

"It's not like I asked the fox to kill our leader! It's not like I went to his den and shared a piece of fresh-kill!" She said, taken aback.

"Yeah, yeah." Goldenlight spat. She closed her eyes and sighed. "Sorry. It's just…" She shook her head, unable to finish.

"I understand." Songheart said, bowing her head and backing out of the den.

Suddenly, Goldenlight was freezing cold in the middle of green-leaf. Beware of the blazing bramble. It can destroy the clan, but if the fire gets proper care it can save the clan from dark times. A voice whispered in Goldenlight's ear. "Who's there?" She said softly, looking around the den – no cat to be seen.

"What was that?" Dark meadow asked as she entered the den. Goldenlight's head snapped up.

"Oh. Uh. Nothing!" She said too quickly. "Nothing at all."
