XXXX Onestar's POV XXXX

I lay in my ben, my light brown tabby fur unkeept and amber eyes staring far off. What Firestar had said at the geathering two day since he snapped at the other clans and a day after a RiverClan patrol was killed. The uneasy felling that the same might happen to his clan one day made his fur stand on end. I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear Ashfoot slowly make her way into the den.

"Onestar." The gray she-cat started.

XXXX Whitetail's POV XXXX

I waited with my clan-mates for Ashfoot to give out patrols for the day, but the gray she-cat had gone into Onestar's den. I padded over to my best friend Nightcloud, the black she-cat wa sharing a rabbit with her mate Crowfeather. The young warrior Breezepelt was talking with his mate Heathertail, the two had been fighting since Sol came back to the clans and it seemed that the two would break up any day now. I flicked my white tail as I turned my gaze over to where the elders lay in the sun. There head close together as the talked.

A movement out of the corner of my eye made me blink then look over to the medicine cat's den. Kestrelflight slowly made his way over to her.

"Hello." The mottled medicine cat nodded in greeting as he came to a stop.

"Your not planing on going on patrol? Are you?" The medicine car asked her, his amber eyes sharp as the looking into my green eyes.

"I was. Why?" I asked, tail twitching in annoyance.

"A RiverClan patrol had scent the killers scent by our border and it would not be a good idea for a queen to go off. Do not forget that Morningkit and Snakekit still need you." Kestrelflight meowed with a bit of worry in his amber eyes.

I did not say anything for some time, I knew that the medicine cat was right. Mistystar had told then that the scent was close to their shared border and I had to take care of my kits as there was no other queen at the time.

"Alright." I sighed, there was no point in fighting with the medicine cat, he could always just order her to say in camp if she did anyway.

"Alright! Breezepelt, Crowfeather, Boulderpaw, and Sedgewhisker you will be a hunting patrol. Sunstrike-" I blocked out Ashfoot as she called out names for the warriors going on patrol as I made my way to the nursery. As I thought, my two kits where still fast asleep. I laid down and they pushed themselves closer to my belly fur with a happy purr.

XXXX Breezepelt's POV XXXX

I let out an annoyed snort as Ashfoot put me on the same patrol as my father. Then I remembered what Tigerstar ha told me when I went to the Dark Forest for training. It was that the killer was working for the Dark Forest and that he was no to attack anyone on their side and that was why they had let Beetlewhiskper get away. As it turned out the RiverClan warrior was killed. Maybe you'll be next father... I thought as I glared at the smoky gray, almost black tom. The patrol then started to move out, Breezepelt at the back with his apprentice Boulderpaw well Crowfeather was talking with Sedgewhisker.

"Whoever it is must be strong. I mean not any warrior can fight and kill a full patrol on their own." Sedgewhisker said, looking a head of her.

"Must be and he or she might be involved in the two deaths in ThunderClan." Crowfeather agreed.

I smirked, I knew some of what happened from some of the dark forest warrior. It was Brambleclaw, but he was killed by someone the Dark Forest was unsure of. They did however give the tom some power to make him stronger. Boulderpaw was silent, he didn't say a word as the patrol moved soon the dark gray apprentice caught sight of a white bobbing tail. The patrol stopped and waited Boulderpaw. The three stayed where they where for some time then they heard a shriek from where Blouderpaw had run off to. Crowfeather jumped to his paws and then ran to see if the apprentice was alright. Sedgewhisker got to her paws as well.

"I'll go get help, it might be the killer." I said as I started toward WindClan camp.

Sedgewhikser give me a nod then went to join Crowfeather, but instead of getting help I silently follow my clan-mate. It was lucky for me that the wind wasn't blowing my scent towards her. Then as we got closer the scent of blood became strong till I could see the red liquid in a few puddles on the grass. In the bigger one was my apprentice Boulderpaw. I felt badly for the young cat, having died before he got his warrior name but that was how it would of ended in the battle with the Dark Forest.

That was when I saw him, a dark brown tabby tom with mask hiding his face, but I knew who it was. The tom looked at Crowfeather with dead eyes, the older warrior snarled at him ready to attack to avenge his fallen clan-mate. Crowfeather jump, about to slam his claw on the top of the masked tom's head, but the tom move out of the way and before Crowfeather could jump back to masked tom toke a two-leg thing and sliced in down onto Crowfeather's back. The dark gray tom slammed to the ground and with a loud snap I knew his neck had been broken. Then the masked tom looked over at Sedgewhisker, who he just noticed. I turned and ran back to WindClan camp, I knew that the she-cat was going to die and there was no point in stay to watch it. Then when I got back I told the clan about the killer and that I had gone to see if I could help, but when I saw that the killer was gone I came back to camp. Onestar then scent out some warriors to pick up the bodies of the fallen warriors and to make sure the killer was gone or sill in WindClan territory.


Ah, yes. A killing in WindClan *evil smiles*
