With the retirement of Darkfang the CrystalClan leader was starting to lose hope within her clan, the black she-cat had asked Jaguarclaw to watch the camp while she took a walk through the forest alone. She had to pounder her thoughts for a while, she was confused and stressed out now that her strongest warrior was an elder now, she even felt her true old age take effects on her bones. Why do I feel this way? StarClan help me, give me answers! The she-cat found herself standing infront of the MoonClan border, Goldenstars mate Redfang had taken a patrol on the border hours before she decided to take her walk. The she-cat smells a strange scent, a low growl rummbles in her throat, she raced through the ferns and tackled a large, plump, long-haired tabby feline. The cat she had attacked reacted quickly, throwing Emberstar off easily. This was not a normal kittypet, nor a normal loner. It fought as if it were a clan cat, or a rouge. The scent was not fimilar to her, so maybe it was a rouge she was fighting with. With a heave the large cat threw Emberstar across the forest floor and into a tree, the she-cat's back was rittled with pain. Her body felt limp now, she could taste her own blood within her mouth, and Emberstar noticed she could not move. Her foe padded from the shadows of a large oak tree, the cats eyes were actually red!
No. . It cannot end like this!
An evil laugh was heard from the top of the oak tree, Emberstar gazed up and noticed one cat in piticular. Shade! The rouge she-cat had kept her promisse, she'd returned to take her revenge on the clans. The rouge she-cat called down to Emberstar's opponet, "Good work Mars!" Shade hissed at Emberstar's broken and battered body, knowing her foe could not move. Was this how she was going to die, alone in the forest being murdered by a rouge that only wants blood to spill.
As if she'd given up all her hope Emberstar caught a fimilar scent within the breeze that begun to blow moments before. Blackfur! He brother, jumped upon the rouge named Mars and a fight broke out between them, Jaguarclaw raced from the ferns aswell, her claws unsheathed. "Emberstar!" She yowled, glancing over at Shade she hissed. The rouge back away, racing into the bushes. The clan deputy didn't decide to chase Shade, she called Blackfur over to assist in carrying Emberstar back to the camp, the she-cat lifted her leader off the ground only to be ordered to place her back down, "Jaguarclaw go get Songflight." Emberstar lay her head upon the ground watching her deputy raced back towards camp, returning with the young medicine cat moments later. Songflight placed her paw on her leaders back. "E-Emberstar, . . . Y-you're backs been broken!"
