I feel asleep that night in the clearing to shocked to pad to the nursery. I would probably be hissed at to leave by Snowsong. She seemed to be mad at me for Stormkit's fall, something at which I could not do anything to help him. After witnessing what happened the night before I was unable to fall asleep, so I stayed in the clearing all night. This did nothing to stop my father from attacking me in the morning with questions.

"PEBBLEKIT! What exactly happened last night at the cliff?"Birchfoot's voice was stern with me.

"Stormkit told me we should go exploring,so we went though the dirtplace tunnel to explore. We ended up playing,that's when we ran into the pack of dogs and..." My voice trailed of because the air coming out was held in,caught as I relived that moment.

He flicked his tail."Stormkit would do nothing of that sort! BUT he WOULD be dragged out by you to go on with your childish games. Now he's almost dead in the because of your games."

"HE TOOK ME OUT THERE! I FOLLOWED! HE ALMOST RAN US BOTH OFF THAT CAMP! IT WAS MY QUICK THINKING THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED US BOTH!" I yowled."why do you hate me so much?"I took off before anything else could be said. Tears fell and I didn't stop until I was at the Old Pine tree. Only there did I stop. I fell to the ground crying. I cried myself to sleep.

"Pebblekit,"a voice called as I started to climb the Old pine.

I froze. Why would anyone want me? I had almost killed my brother,if not he is.

"Pebblekit,"the voice called again this time I could see the she-cat calling me,she was a brown-and-cream tabby. I had never seen her yet she knew my name. I looked at her her and she looked straight right up at me."Pebblekit,come down from there!"

"Why I don't know you!"I called down in a hiss."What clan are you of?"

"Skyclan." She said and sat.

"I've never seen you before,or smelt you!"I said sniffing at the air.

"I'm of Starclan now,but I once was of Skyclan,"she purred.

I pricked my ears."Starclan?"

She nodded and flicked her tail to follow her.

I came down and padded over. Now that I was closer I could see the stars in her pelt and in her eyes."When did you... you know..."

"Die?"She said with ease. I nodded."May moons ago."

"What's your name?"I asked. My eyes widening since this was my first time meeting a Starclan cat.

"that's not what I'm here for," the she-cat said her eyes filled with wisdom. "You have an amazing destiny awaiting for you,but you can not do it without another. You must go back to Skyclan."

To a clan where no one wants me? I rolled my eyes.

As if reading my mind she added,"Your clan does not hate you."

Wow! that's surprising!

"Their just in the grieving process right now,"She said."Go home Pebblekit,your clan is in danger!"

"What!?"I said. "Wait what's your name?"

I blinked awake.

"Leafstar"

THE LEAFSTAR! unbelievable!

Not to far off I heard a cat yowl a piercing yowl followed by many more.

I started running never looking back. I'd never ran that fast before in my life."INVASION!" I yelled though the camp.

"Your such a kit Pebblekit,"I heard Badgerpaw's annoying voice once again.

"Yeah!"Mosspaw was right behind. I heard another yowl close to here. That was enough to shut them up.

Mudstar stood."Birchfoot take a patrol straight into battle fight them back as much as possible back to their border. Take Stonemist,Loinstrike,Mosspaw,and Nettleclaw straight into battle."

"Got it!"my father said gathered the wanted cats and ran out of camp to the battle.

"Frecklewhisker,"He called to the deputy,"take Ravenfeather,Jadeflower,and Troutjaw. Run to the border closest to the twoleg place and drive them to their border.. Go!"

Thundering paws drummed against the ground as they went out to battle. I was pushed by Ravenfeather to the ground. He kept running out,and I stood up with a snort.

"I'll take a patrol with me,"Mudstar called to the remaining cats."Shiverpelt,Swiftpaw,Badgerpaw,and Thornfur come with me." He said and leapt own.

"What about me?"Blackpaw asked.

"Every warrior and apprentice left is needed to guard camp. Take all the elders and get Stormkit into the nursery."

They nodded and stepped into their duties.

Snowsong stepped up."Do you mind if I join your patrol? I plan on moving back into the warriors den tonight."

"What?!" I said moving toward her my paws tingled with fear."You can't Stormkit and I aren't apprentices yet!"

"You kits were... how do I put this? Defective." She said the last word in a cold chill to it."Just consider yourselves without a mother or a father. We plan on having better kits." Snowsong flicked her tail. "Mudstar, I don't care what you say, I'm going."

Mudstar growled,but did nothing because he was not one to choose when a queen moved back to the warriors den. Snowsong was his younger sister,but that didn't seem to matter anyway.

I hissed and padded back to the nursery.

Willowleaf was pressed against the wall. She was panting like no tomorrow.

"Are you okay?" I asked worried for the one of few cats in the clan that cared about me.

"I'm fine it's just that the kits are closer than expected." She was standing and even still her out stretched belly touched the floor.

"I'll get Dawnbreeze!"I said racing to the medicine cat den."Dawnbreeze?" I called.

"She went for an herb run for the battle."Sandfur said while her and Leafclaw carried out Stormkit's very thin body.

Dawnbreeze had been feeding Stormkit bits of freshkill and making him drink water,but it didn't stop him from getting thinner and thinner. If he didn't wake up soon there was a very good chance he could die.

"Did she say where?" I asked.

"By the Old Pine to collect marigold,"Sunbreeze said.

I took off I knew exactly where to go because I was there earlier. Luckily for me it was close to the camp. When I got there a black tail was just disappearing into the bushes. I fought the urge to go after the unknown cat. I had to keep Willowleaf in mind,and find Dawnbreeze. Where could she be? I was at the Old Pine and there was not one sign of her. I started to call her name.

"here Pebblekit,"She called to me her voice sounded raspy.

I padded over in a hurry."Willowleaf's kitting and she needs y-"I stopped the once beautiful medicine cat was laying in the bush with Frecklewhisker's completely still body. Dawnbreeze was completely covered in blood.

Dawnbreeze nodded."I won't be making it back, I'm bleeding out."Dawnbreeze's breath shallowed.

"Is Frecklewhisker dead?"I asked.

She nodded. her eyes showed fear."Go back with this message,tell only Mudstar."

I nodded.

"Tell him, R-"She started but her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she started to convulse out of control. She went limp and her head fell.
