Chapter 1

Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, Leafpool, and Firestar made their way to ThunderClan's camp, but no one spoke. They were all focused on getting home. Firestar had scratches all over his neck and throat from the fox trap. Brambleclaw had scratches all over him from Hawkfrost.

The battle flashed through Brambleclaw's mind. He could hardly believe he killed his half-brother.

Hawkfrost had tried to kill Firestar so Brambleclaw could be leader. He wanted Brambleclaw to finish Firestar off. Brambleclaw said no and so Hawkfrost tried to kill Brambleclaw while Brambleclaw was saving Firestar.

Brambleclaw remembered what Firestar said after he killed Hawkfrost. The words kept replaying in his mind. 'Brambleclaw, you did well; your path has been hard, harder than most; you fought a great battle here, and you won; you are a worthy deputy of ThunderClan.'

Brambleclaw was beside Squirrelflight as they entered camp. All eyes turned. Then, someone Brambleclaw wished would go and get lost padded up to them. It was Ashfur.

"Why don't you go? You're not wanted here," Ashfur hissed to Brambleclaw.

"Is that a way to talk to your deputy?" Squirrelflight hissed back. "You don't even know what happened so why are you going and thinking Brambleclaw would hurt Firestar? If it wasn't for Brambleclaw Firestar would be dead!"

Ashfur glared at Squirrelflight and padded off. Ashfur must have told the Clan what he saw because every cat in the Clan, except for the kits and Sandstorm, was glaring at Brambleclaw.

"Come in my den," Leafpool meowed to Brambleclaw. Brambleclaw followed Leafpool and Squirrelflight followed Brambleclaw. "Sit."

Brambleclaw obeyed. Leafpool was working on them at the same time. Though they both didn't too serious injuries, Leafpool worked fast looking over them both.

"Squirrelflight go get some cobwebs and start pressing them on Brambleclaw's wounds," Leafpool ordered her sister.

Squirrelflight nodded and got the cobwebs. She gently pressed them on Brambleclaw. The first cobweb made him wince, but he got use to it.

Sandstorm padded into the den. "What happened?"

"Hawkfrost sent a trap for me, but Brambleclaw saved me and killed Hawkfrost," Firestar explained. "What does everyone think?"

"That Brambleclaw set the trap for you with the help of Hawkfrost so he could be leader," Sandstorm meowed looking at Brambleclaw.

"You know that I would never do that, Sandstorm, don't you?" Brambleclaw asked Sandstorm.

"Of course, I know that you are loyal to ThunderClan," Sandstorm meowed. "You've proved yourself many times. And you are definitely loyal. You risked your life to save your Clan from Twolegs and now you risked your life and killed your half-brother to save Firestar."

Brambleclaw nodded thanks to Sandstorm. Leafpool looked over Firestar and Brambleclaw one more time before she mewed, "You both can go, but I want to check you both again tomorrow. No one wants their leader and deputy to have infected wounds."

Firestar and Brambleclaw both nodded. Firestar left with Sandstorm. Brambleclaw was about to go, but Leafpool called him back.

Brambleclaw turned to her. "Thank you, Brambleclaw."

"You're welcome," Brambleclaw replied.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting."

Brambleclaw went outside to the Highledge. Cats settle looking up at the Highledge. Squirrelflight ran up to him.

"Where were you?" he asked her.

"Doesn't matter," she meowed not looking at him.

"Cats of ThunderClan," Firestar began. "First, I would like to say that whatever you thought happened this morning, you are most likely wrong. This morning Hawkfrost had set a trap for me."

A yowl broke out, but Brambleclaw wasn't able to figure out whom. "You mean Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw."

"No, it was Hawkfrost that set the trap, Brambleclaw was the one who saved me from loosing all my lives. I lost two lives today from the trap Hawkfrost set. Brambleclaw helped me out of the trap and he killed Hawkfrost."

The Clan was silent at the truth. The only cat that seemed to not be shocked at all was Ashfur, no cat noticed, except Brambleclaw.

I have a question: How many lives did Firestar loose in this book? I need to know for the next chapter. I was thinking 2, one still in the fox trap (before Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost arrived) and then once Firestar was done talking to Brambleclaw. PLEASE TELL ME HOW MANY LIVES FIRESTAR LOST!! I don't wasn't to mess that up!

Review and tell me please!
