WHAT!? A change of perspective!?

Leafclaw's POV

The light brown tabby tom was sitting in the thunderclan camp, he had just come back from a training session with his apprentice, a spunky young tom named thistlepaw. And he waited for a special she-cat to return from her hunting patrol. He had wanted to go with her, because he didn't really trust her brother, shadedwillow, but she insisted it would be fine. So he agreed to let her go.

But, when littleclaw and his apprentice had returned without the other two cats, leafclaw had gotten worried. It was the middle of leaf-bare after all. (She could freeze! ) he thought. Then shook his pelt. (No, she is a strong cat. That's why she was made deputy...she will be alright...) he thought again, and stretched. Just then, he saw the dark pelt of shadedwillow burst into the camp. He jumped onto the high ledge and yowled for a meeting.

"Who does he think he is? Only leaders call meetings." Huffed a grey tabby elder, greystripe.

Beside of the old tom a white and orange she-cat with one eye hissed. "You know young cats these days, they have no respect for tradition. Isn't that right, sandstorm?" The elder looked at the sandy colored she-cat beside her. Sandstorm nodded.

Leafclaw twitched his whiskers in amusement. Elders always think that they know best. But still, he wondered why shadedwillow called a meeting. And where fallenmist was.

A large golden tabby tom bounded onto the high ledge beside shadedwillow. "What is the meaning of this shadedwillow!?" He growled.

Shadedwillow backed up a step. Just like every other cat in the clan, he respected Lionstar and would never question him with out good reason. "I-I have news of a traitor. " he said firmly.

(Traitor!?) leafclaw thought alarmed. Who was a traitor?

Lionstar was also clearly surprised at this statement. "Who is this traitor?" He asked, no emotion in his mew.

Shadedwillow stood up straight. "I will discuss it with you, in your den perhaps?' He suggested. The large tom nodded, and led the way to his den.

Leafclaw continued to pace the clearing, it was almost moon rise. Where could fallenmist be!? He looked up as lionstar yowled.

The leader stood on high ledge shadedwillow behind him. He spoke, his deep voice loud and booming. "Shadedwillow is a valiant warrior. He has saved thunderclan from the terror of a vicious cat, who given the chance would of plunged our clan in to war. Fallenmist was that cat, but now...she is gone, defeated bye shadedwillow." Lionstar stepped back, and let shadedwillow speak.

"Clan mates, I stand before you not a hero but a cat like you, like me. I went hunting with my sister and little claw. She said for us to split up. I had asked her if we could go to the high hills, but she insisted we go to the lake. " the dark tom paused, and hung his head. "Had I know she was planning to kill me I would not of followed. She told me her plan was to rule all four clans. And kill any who didn't follow. I knew I had to stop her, so I fought her, she almost beat me, but I managed to throw her into the lake, she theses wounds though." He finished, showing a long gash on his flank, it was covered in herbs.

Leafclaw stepped back. His heart pounding. No! I can't believe it!" He breathed quietly. The she-cat he was friends with, no, wanted to be mates with was a traitor!? The more he thought about the more confusing it became. He didn't even hear what his clan mates were saying, and he didn't hear lionstar name shadedwillow deputy.

After all the gossip had died down, cats went to their dens, and slept. But leafclaw couldn't sleep. He lay in a large nest near the center of the warriors den. He would normally be warm beside fallenmist but now he was cold, even with his clan mates pressed together around him. They all felt grief for him, after all he was in love with a traitor, who had simply used his position of leader's son to get deputy. Or had she used him? The question kept him awake.

He was almost asleep, when he heard cats picking their way out of the den. He looked up, to see shadedwillow and his friend, the black tom known as snakefang, leave the den. (Where are they going?) he wondered. And followed. He saw them leave the camp, and he rushed after them. He was silent as a snake in the forest, he wasn't the best stalker in thunderclan for nothing. He followed the two toms to a clearing. He scented two other scents. (Wind clan! And his sister's scent!?) what was going on?

He watched the cats meet up, as if they are all part of one clan. Two cats from wind clan, a tom and a she-cat apprentice. "Greetings, mudwhisker, and heather paw." He greeted the two cats warmly. And looked to the silver form of his sister. "And my dear silvertail." He purred, and their tails twinned. Since when were they mates!? Leafclaw backed up, and stepped on a twig. It cracked loudly.

The apprentice looked his way. "What was that!?" The she-cat squeaked.

Snakefang looked around. "I'll check it out." The sly tom hissed. And trotted toward leafclaw's hiding spot. Leafclaw turned and raced away as silently as possible.

He stopped near camp, panting hard. "Those cats are not to be trusted..." He growled, sneaking back into camp. He curled up in his nest, and felt warm fur beside him. He looked up and saw that a white she-cat, named snowheart, had curled up beside him. "Um..." He coughed.

She looked up. Her blue eyes full of menace. "I always knew that fallenmist was a traitor. And that she didn't love you, don't worry. " she smiled, and shuffled closer to leafclaw. "I don't bite." She purred.

Leafclaw sighed. He missed fallenmist, and wasn't sure wether be truly believed that she was a traitor. But he was glad that somecat was sleeping next to him that night. And he still wasn't sure about that meeting of cats, but for now he was content to sleep next to snowheart. And try to forget.

That night he dreamed about fallenmist, and that she was now at the bottom of a lake, dead and not with him...where she belonged.
