Chapter 8

(Yes, I know cats don't have eyebrows. If you have better wording let me know.)

"Canyonstar." Whispervoice whispered. "Canyonstar." She repeated with slightly more urgency.

Miraculsoulsy, Canyonstar heard her. He turned around. "Whispervoice isn't it?" He made sure. "From Windclan?" Whispervoice nodded. "Well, what can I help you with?"

"I think Echostar was telling the truth, Shadowclan didn't move the border." Canyonstar's eyebrows shot up. Before he could start yelling at her too, though she wasn't sure he would've she quickly went on. "There was a rogue named on Windclan territory, and she admitted to changing the Shadowclan border to find out if you'd fight over it."

Canyonstar nodded slowly. "A rogue named Ghost." He brought his focus back to her. "Thank you Whispervoice, I'll keep an eye out for that."

Whispervoice nodded. Then she turned around and ran to catch up with her clan.

"You think we'll get to stay?" Pinknose was whispering to Lostwhisker. "Mintstar really pushed it at the gathering."

"Omenstar won't be happy about that," Whispervoice told them, causing them both to give a little jump and turn towards her. "But he won't let you die for that."

Pinknose lifted her nose slightly. "We won't die without-"

"Pinkenose, let's just forget it for now." Lostwhisker suggested. He sounded tired.

Whispervoice couldn't blame him. They had to stay up fairly late hunting, and they wouldn't be getting much sleep after that meeting. They tried to regardless. Whispervoice watched the medicine den as she headed towards her own den.

Pineneedle had already gone back with Shadowclan, so Creamcoat had the den to herself again. Whispervoice didn't have much time to dwell on that though. She wanted to get some sleep.

Whispervoice entered the warriors den and fell asleep.

"Wishfall, Bronzestone, Pinknose, go out on a hunting patrol please." Omenstar ordered.

"Finchwing, Lostwhisker, and Whispervoice, go patrol the borders." Mintstar added.

Then Omenstar turned towards her, his expression mildly upset. "Whispervoice is my warrior. She is not going to check the Shadowclan border. That's Riverclan's job only."

Mintstar bristled. "Fine." She hissed. "Then Pinknose will go with them instead."

"Good! Whispervoice, go with Wishfall and Bronzestone instead." Omenstar snapped.

This isn't good. Whispervoice thought. A glance at the Riverclan cats revealed they agreed. Once they got out of camp Wishfall asked, "So, you think we can still hunt in Riverclan territory."

Bronzestone scoffed. "Does it matter? They don't have anything worth hunting there anyway."

"It matters." Whispervoice muttered. "We need to know how upset Mintstar is."

Bronzestone stuck his nose up a little. "She doesn't have anything to be upset for. We've been more than generous."

"Omenstar seems to think that's reason to stop." Whispervoice pointed out. "He could kick them out."

Bronzestone looked at her like she was crazy. He opened his mouth. "Guys, guys. Forget Riverclan for a moment." Wishfall interjected. "Right now, we have to hunt, or both clans are in trouble."

Neither of them could argue to that. Whispervoice began walking away from them, sniffing for food. She frowned. She could smell rabbit, but it was an old smell, old enough it might have already been caught.

Then Bronzestone let out a cry. Whispervoice dashed back towards his voice. "I don't believe it!" He was shouting. "Thunderclan has moved the border!"

Whispervoice sniffed. The border was there. That was a huge change. And not one Thunderclan would make. Whispervoice thought.

Wishfall bristled. "They owe us for getting Bluefeather out of trouble." She hissed. "Where are those fox hearts."

"They might not have moved the border." Whispervoice told the other two. Now they both looked at her like she was crazy, so she explained. "Ghost, the one who killed Blurrpaw, moved Shadowclan's border. She might've moved this one too."

"And how are we going to prove that one!" Bronzestone spat.

"Prove what?" They turned towards the new voice. It was Hawkeyes, with Grassroots again.

"I have a theory." Wishfall whispered to her clanmates. She then turned to address the Thunderclan cats. "Your border's changed. We were wondering if you moved it, or if it was a rogue."

"We didn't change it!" Grassroots objected. And she sounded like she was actually being honest for once.

Hawkeyes shook his head. "And Canyonstar didn't ask anyone to."

"Then you won't object as we change it back." Wishfall said, crossing the border. Hawkeyes gave her a look as if to show he was disgusted she doubted him. He and Grassroots didn't try to stop them though. They just stepped back to where the border used to be and let the three Windclan cats remark the border.

Once that was done the three turned around and walked away from the border. "Well, the rogue of yours is good, I'll give her that." Wishfall said. "Now let's go hunt."

"Oh right." Bronzestone laughed. "I forgot that's what we were doing."

Wishfall gave a purr of amusment and even Whispervoice smiled. Then they separated to hunt.
