Ivybranch hissed as claws raked her side. Blood scented and yowls yelled out. It all happened so fast. Crow had thrown the dead body of Tallfern Snowyfall's first apprentice. Than cats had started to attack DarkClan. Now a she-cat attacked Ivybranch whom had tooken guard over the nursery. These kits and queens can't be attacked! She raked her claws forward feeling the face if the cat. She leaped forward bitting down on fur and she tasted the blood and rotting prey that stayed on the fur. Just how Crow had it covering his pelt..she hissed as feeling someone biting at her flank. Jumped her eyes reganged vision as Night took the control. Blood claws teeth. Than she stood over the dead body of the she-cat and a mangled tom. Darkness filled her eyes omce again.

Ivy..Ivy..safe once again..Night chanted softly as Ivybranch sat down panting with her sides dripping blood.

"Ivybranch! Oh my.." Slateface's voice was heard but it was diffrent not the firm sounding tom..no it was worried and he softly muttered as she fell down. "I need Burdock roots! and cobwebs! Now!" he yelled as sticky stuff was placed at her sides were she was stratched across.

Slateface was by her side when she awoke in the medince den. With sticky cobwebs stuck to her and chewed up burdock roots aplied to the bloody stratches. "What happened?" she mumbled closing her eyes as she tried to get up. Pain flooded her hind leg as she sat up. "What happened to the attack? Crow? The she-cat?" she asked pain clouded her eyes as she rembered the dead body of the she-cat and mangled twisted but still alive tom. No..did i do that? she unsheathed her claws and dug into the dirt. "No..i killed someone! Even if it was a fight-i..i.."- she sobbed her eyes glitered with the unsheaded tears.

Slateface curled his tail around her he sighed. "Ivybranch..you did what you had to..Honeywish said how you protected her and her kits along with Grumblebelly" he whispered his tone softened.

Ivybranch nodded slowly but hissed as the visions of what she had done to the cats still filled her mind flashing in and out..She claws at the toms eyes her teeth ripping fleash as he pulled away blood poored down his face as one of his eyes socket was emty and hollowed. she shuddered getting up. "i..i need to lay down for a while" she said curling into the mossy nest that was in the medince den.

"Ok.." Slateface mewed leaving her to sleep. He went out the den but she could still sense him near. Outside the den entrance.. She covered her face with her paws.

Ivy..don't fret..your claws my of did it but i took the lifes nothing thkse starry cats can do to me i'm already a cat of no stars..Night hissed with the images of the black she-cat with green narrowed eyes in Ivybranche's eyes. Cat of no stars..No Stars...
