Bogreed POV

Bogreed had served Whirlstar for many moons, more then his deputy had been alive for anyway. He knew that he would outlive his old mentor, and he expected to dislike the new Minnowstar even before he had become an annoying brat.

The first thing he did was take his fresh kill and go to his den, leaving Fishclaw to sort out patrols and everything. As the moon got fuller, the whole clan realized how lazy Minnowstar actually was. He took Poolfur as his mate, the poor thing. He prayed to star clan that they wouldn't be like their father.

After the gathering, when he had told Thunder clan they had the sunning rocks, Bogreed felt the thunder clan she cat beside him tense and whip her head around to glare at Bogreed.

She was a pretty she cat, but also battle scarred and tough. She had tortoiseshell fur and dark amber eyes. She bared her teeth and hissed "sunning rocks are ours."

Bogreed was paying more attention to the confrontation between Reedstar and Minnowstar to pay much attention to her words, but he nodded and said "They are ours now."

The she cat hissed and turned back to the meeting.

After Minnowstar took River clan back home, he had tried to approach the tom, telling him to prepare for a battle. He had scoffed and said "Those kit warriors will not dare attack. If they do, they will suffer more loses and still won't gain the rocks."

Bogreed had fought Thunder clan before and he wasn't looking forward to facing that she cat in battle. They were tough warriors, young and strong and experienced. They hated to have sunning rocks in River clan's paws and he knew they would try to take the rocks. Fishclaw was more ready to listen, ad he agreed whole-heartedly, but the problem was convincing the lazy, stupid leader. They put more effort in training in battle with the apprentices and checked the border more often. One day, he, Spruceleaf, Wavetail and Marshpaw were marking their scent when a patrol of thunder clan arrived. Bogreed recognized two, Stonefang and the she cat from the gathering. One was a ferocious apprentice with a tortoiseshell fur and hard green eyes. He sent Marshpaw back to get more warriors. Even if they were inexperienced, five to three was an unfair fight. He swiped at a ginger she cat covered in white spots and she swiped back. He ducked and scooped her legs out form beneath her. The apprentice pounced on his back and forced him down, her claws raking his back. Bogreed threw her off and knocked her into some rocks. She slid down and into the river. Stonefang bolted for the apprentice, and the she cat from the gathering took the white she cats place.

"sunning rocks is thunder clans." She hissed, baring her claws. Bogreed hissed back "They are River clan's by birth right. And River clan's they will remain."

He pounced on the she cat ad raked her back with his claws. She threw him off and tried to swipe at his exposed belly, but surviving many battles meant he had experience. He kicked her away and managed to get a bite on her hind leg. She hissed and spit, shaking him loose. More river clan cats arrived and out of the bushes, more thunder clan. Reedstar himself arrived, spitting and snarling. A small white tom helped the limping she cat away form battle as a huge dark brown tom took her place. He snarled and hissed "Fish face."

He swiped at Bogreed and a scratch above his eye pooled blood, clouding his vision. He stumbled back and the tom knocked his paws away. He managed to see Marshpaw save him from a blow, tackling the tom in the side and throwing him off balance.

"Alright, come on Bogreed. You can't see, you can't fight." A young voice mewed in his ear. Bogreed stumbled to his feet and followed the apprentices gentle shoves away from the battle. His side was stinging and his back was pooling blood.

"River clan, retreat!" Minnowstar hollered from somewhere. The cats flooded away amide the jeers and threats from thunder clan.

"Mark sunning rocks Stonefang. I'm sure Echopaw is fine, she's just water logged." Reedstar called. The jeers stopped and the thunder clan cats left.

"Bogreed, what happened out there?" Minnowstar demanded as soon as his back and the scratch above his eye were bandaged.

"My patrol was marking sunning rocks when five thunder clan warriors appeared. I sent Marshpaw back for more warriors and we fought. And we lost." Bogreed mewed simply. Minnowstar was furious.

"What has this clan come to, losing to those mangy flea bags? We are River clan, the best and most dangerous. Now thunder clan has sunning rocks and I look like a fool."

Bogreed fought the smile off his face and said "Sorry Minnowstar. I'll fight harder next time"

Minnowstar gave him a cold glare and stalked away, tail in the air, to complain to Fishclaw.

Bogreed sighed and shook his head. River clan was facing hard times ahead with Minnowstar in charge. He spotted Marshpaw by the fresh kill, dragging a fish towards the elders den. Bogreed padded over and said "I forgot to thank you for saving me form the thunder clan warrior."

Marshpaw blinked in surprise before mewing "anyone would do it."

Bogreed nodded and said "But you did it and I offer you my thanks. How about some more battle training tomorrow as a treat?"

Marshpaw's eyes lit up and she asked "Can Quickpaw and Bluepaw practice too?"

Bogreed shrugged and said "Sure, now get some rest. We start bright and early."

Marshpaw nodded eagerly and scampered off to tell her den mates the news. Bogreed watched her go before heading towards the nursery.

He spotted Waterlily nursing her two kits, a soft smile on her face. She spotted Bogreed and mewed "Hello brother how was the battle today. The kits heard it form the camp."

Bogreed sighed and said "we lost Sunning rocks today, now Thunder clan has them."

Her smile fell away and she glanced down at her kits. Giving a grey tom a gentle lick between the ears, she said "How is Marshpaw doing in training? I heard she saved you from Pinetail."

Bogreed tilted his head and said "So that's his name. I promised her battle training tomorrow. After seeing real battle, you think she would have had enough for one day."

Waterlily smiled and said "Well, kits will be kits. You were a kit once too, I think."

Bogreed swatted her tail gently and said "You're just as old as I am Waterlily. I got to go, I'll see you tomorrow."

Waterlily nodded and gave him a soft lick on the head.

"Be more careful next time or Hailwhisker will bring you back in pieces." She mewed teasingly

Bogreed laughed and padded out of the nursery, feeling a lot more cheerful then before the battle.

Heed my words tiny mortals.
