"Swiftstar."Rockfur, the deputy of fireclan, called his leader. "Yes Rockfur."Rockfur turned his head to the nursery. "Goldenflower thinks that Sandkit and
Rainkit are ready to become apprentices." Swiftstars eyes lit up. "Yes I have been waiting for this. You shall mentor one of the kits and Blackstripe can
mentor the other." "Would you like me to get Blackstripe?" Rockfur waited for an answer. "Yes send him to me." Before Rockfur could move a loud scream
came from the entrance of the camp. It was Firepaw. She was bleeding from a wound in her side. She dropped to the ground. " Sw..Swiftstar." She cried.
Swiftstar ran to her daughter's side. "What happened?" Swiftstar eyes were full of concern. Very weakly, Firepaw responded. "Darkclan is attacking at red
oak" Swiftstar turned to the remaining warriors that were in the camp. "Ravenpelt, Tigerheart, Fernblossom, and Rockfur. You all will come with me. The
rest of you will stay here just in case they decide to attack here."Swiftstar turned back to Firepaw. "Who was with you?" Firepaw opened her eyes. "
Sharpthistle, Tawnyfur, and, Brackenpaw." Swiftstar looked over to the medicine cats den. "Featherwhisker!" She called. The young medicine cat ran to
Firepaws side as soon as he saw her. Swiftstar felt as though Firepaw was in good hands so she rounded up the patrol. The patrol soon arrives at red
oak. What they see is heart breaking. Sharpthistle was dead and Tawnyfur and Brackenpaw lay wounded a few feet away. Swiftstar could see the rise
and fall of Brackenpaws chest. Tawnyfur was trying to stand. "Tawnyfur can you ..." Before Swiftstar could finish what she was saying a loud battle yell
came from across the clearing. The Darkclan cats were back. "Attack Fireclan." Swiftstar gave the yell to fight. Rockfur was in battle with a ginger she cat.
She went to leap at him; before she hit him he ducked and sent her flying right into Tigerheart. Fernblossom had a black tom pinned to the ground. He
screamed and she let him go. Ravenpelt was pulling two Darkclan cats off of Swiftstar. He grabbed a tabby tom and heard the tom scream. He let go.
There were four Darkclan cats left. Tigerheart had sent another one one running. Rockfur was working on another and soon all of the Darkclan cats were
gone. "Is everyone ok?" Rockfur asked. "Where is Swiftstar?" Ravenpelt sounded alarmed. "NOOOO!" Cried out one of the warriors. "Swiftstar is dead."
The warriors of Fireclan carried the two broken bodies. One was Firepaws mentor and the other was Firepaws mother. When Firepaw saw them she ran
over and dug her noise into her mother and mentors fur. "Firepaw, Firepaw I'm so sorry. Firepaw lifted her head. Tigerheart was there. She pressed her
nose into his fur. Rockfur jumped onto the highrock. "What has happened today is a big loss for our clan. We have lost a great warrior, and one of the
best leaders I knew." Rockfur looked around his whole clan was grieving. "Tonight I will travel to the moonstone to receive my leader name and nine lives.
While I am gone Tigerheart will be in charge. Soon it was time for Rockfur to head to the moonstone. Featherwhisker went with Rockfur as tradition.
