Chapter 2

Leafpool stood stunned. "C-Crowfeather? What are you doing?"

Crowfeather just hissed and launched himself at Leafpool who jumped to the side and raked claws down the side of Crowfeathers face.

Now it was Crowfeathers turn to be suprised. He had no idea Leafpool now knew how to fight.

In those moments that Crowfeather paused, Leafpool took off in the direction of the ThunderClan camp.

But of course as everyone knows, WindClan are fast. Crowfeather soon caught up to the tabby warrior and jumped onto her back.

Leafpool went limp under Crowfeather. When she felt his limbs relax, she pushed up with all her might and sent Crowfeather flying.

"Thank you father" Leafpool thought to herself and continued her mad dash to ThunderClan.

Now Crowfeather was just plain angry. "Being beaten by a former medicine cat! Not just that but the she cat who broke your heart!" Crowfeather put on an extra burst of speed but this time he went more to the side of Leafpools trail so he could race ahead of her then intercept the tabby she cat.

Leafpool however, had no idea of what Crowfeather was planning. She continued to run and before she knew it was knocked over yet again by Crowfeather who pushed her muzzle into the ground.

"No more tricks, got it?" The WindClan warrior hissed to the shaking tabby beneath him. Leafpool was being pinned on her side and trying to think of a way to wriggle free but Crowfeather now knew better than to loosen his grip.

"Now, I won't hurt you if you just listen and stay quiet."

Leafpool just gazed up at him with her beautiful amber eyes. She got the message.

Crowfeather then took her by the scruff and dragged her into some bushes.

Leafpool was just about to cry out when Crowfeather pushed her muzzle back into the ground. "Your lucky" He hissed. "You won't get injured in the battle. We already had it all planned out. Why do you think we have been marking our borders more often? To increase the number of cats on your border patrols. Why do you think cats have been staring across your border? To track the time of patrols. So, really the whole reason was so your clan would have less cats to defend your precious camp. And of course we outsmarted you. Onestar already figured that the patrol would send a runner to alert the clan so he put me, one of the fastest in WindClan to make sure that wouldn't happen. And how lucky I am that the runner happened to be you Leafpool."

But Leafpool was staring past him. Behind Crowfeather was his dead son, Breezepelt.
