Sabriel's P.O.V.

I looked down with loving eyes at my two new kits, a tom cat that looked every bit like his father and a creamy dark tortoiseshell like me, "Sabriel these are the two most beautiful kits I've ever seen." Sleek ask as he sat next to me. Shade had gone to fetch Basilleaf and sense I was attacked Sleek decided to stick around, saying that his brothers don't give up easily. My neck fur raised at the memories of the dark ginger tom, Spark, and his extra claws that now that I think about it look very little like cat claws at all, "Sabriel? Are you ok?" Sleek ask noticing my tension. I was grateful to have always had him and Shade, ever sense we were kit's, we've been the best of friends.

I nodded my head, "I fine, it's just, your brother, Spark, his paws are…" I trail off.

"Not those of a cat? I know, he was born that way, with claws as thick and sharp as fox teeth and an extra claw." Sleek said. I winced inwardly as I looked at the claw marks that covered Sleek, and was thankful that I hadn't had to face them… yet.


Eagledawn's P.O.V.

"Basilleaf, what's this all about? Calling me out in the forest to talk?" I asked, wondering if Spark had actually fulfilled what he said he'd do.

Basilleaf whirled around and glared at me, "You sent a group of rouges after Sabriel." he snapped.

"What?1" I meowed in belief, then realization hit my like a badgers claw as I remembered the wounds on Cyspin, Spark, Shadow, and Glaze, "They tried to kill her!" a voice yowled in my head.

"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. I heard Cyspin say to Spark that you told them to kill her." he snapped.

"Basilleaf, I swear I didn't. I- I- told them about it and they said they'd try to help, I had no idea they were going to try to kill her." I said.

"Liar!" he snapped loudly.

"Basilleaf, I swear to Starclan, I didn't!" I said desperately.

Basilleaf seemed to have taken into consideration that maybe I didn't know for he asked, "Do you swear on Icepaw?" he asked, Icepaw back when we were apprentices had been our best friend the three of us were very close before she died saving us from a badger.

"I swear on Icepaw." I said.

"Even if she's banished from Starclan because you lied?" He asked.

"I swear! Basilleaf I didn't know!" I yowled desperately.

Basilleaf blinked, "Ok. I believe you." he said.

I let out a sigh, then my neck fur rose as I smelled a rouge's scent. Then a black tom busted int the clearing, "Basilleaf, Sabriel just had her kits." he said.

"What? Where is she? Take me to her!" Basilleaf said.

"Right, follow me." the black tom turned and ran, Basilleaf jolted after him.


Sleek's P.O.V.

A low growl erupted from my throat as I saw the outlines of Shadow and Glaze in the dieing dusk light approaching me and the sleeping Sabriel, "Glaze, Shadow, go away." I growled at them.

"Sorry big brother, orders from Spark." Shadow meowed sinisterly.

"Now!" I said a little more forcefully.

"Big brother be aware that we were sent to retrieve the tortoiseshell and will fight you for her." Glaze threatened.

"So move, we don't want to have to fight our own." Shadow said.

"You say you don't want to harm your own, then why isn't our mother alive!" I yelled.

"She was weak, we did her a favor." Shadow said.

"So? She was your flesh and blood!" I snapped.

"Enough idle talk! We're taking the tortoiseshell, whether we have to fight you or not." Shadow said.

"Looks like we're fighting then." I said and crouched ready to pounce.

"Sleek!" I heard some on call and turned to see Shade and Basilleaf charging toward us.

"Not these guys again." Basilleaf said as they got closer. Suddenly Spark's dark ginger pelt charged into the clearing followed by Cyspin.

"Well, well, looks like we're repeating a battle, except this time your clan friends aren't here to save you." Spark sneered, a devilish smirk crossing his face then he pounced at me and we all started fighting.


Banestep's P.O.V.

I sighed as I padded with Bravepaw back toward camp, we'd just done some battle train sense Amberline had so kindly taken Bravepaw along when he went to show Rainypaw the territory yesterday. Bravepaw was bouncing around excitedly, "That was so much fun!" he meowed.

"Let all cat old enough to catch there own prey gather beneath high rock for a clan meeting!" we heard Spiralstar call from a distance. We both looked at each other and jolted toward camp.


Bravepaw and I busted into the clearing panting heavily, just as the meeting began, Bravepaw scampered off to join Mudpaw and I padded over and sat next to Moonsong, "Cats of Shadyclan as you know I will not be around forever. So it's time I took an apprentice. I have chosen a cat with great skill ability to take on this responsibility. Your next medicine cat will be Sandpaw." Willowfrost called from beside high rock. Sandpaw stepped forward.

"Sandpaw, do you accept the position of being Willowfrost's apprentice?" Spiralstar asked.

"Yes, Spiralstar." Sandpaw responded.

"Then at the half-moon you must travel to Great cave, to be accepted by StarClan before the other medicine cats." Willowfrost said to him.

"The wishes of all of Shadyclan go with you." Spiralstar stated, then Willowfrost touched noses with Sandpaw.

"Sandpaw! Sandpaw! Sandpaw!" The clan chanted.

I looked up at the sky as the last streaks of sun light were disappearing from the sky, then I remembered that there was no moon tonight, I'd be going to the island to meet Cometstreak.


Sabriel's P.O.V.

I watched in horror as one by one my friends and mate were pinned down by the fierce rouges, the blood red tom had sat and watched them battle as well now that they were all pinned he stood and padded toward me, "Tortoiseshell, make your choice, come with me willingly and I'll let them live or, be stubborn and they all die and you come with me." he said.

I glared at him with all the hatred I could have, "I have you." I spat at him.

He smirked getting message and said, "I know." before he bent his head down and picked up one of my kit's then flicked his tail and the tabby tom with light blue eyes stepped out in to the open and came over, picking up the other one, then I stood and followed them. I watched the blood red tom carefully, not trusting him with my kit for a second, but to my amazement he was extremely gentle with her, almost like he was used to handling kits.


Spark's P.O.V.

I padded over to the raise in the middle of the clearing with the tortoiseshell's look alike kit held carefully in my jaws, pausing at the entrance I twitched my head toward the entrance signaling for the she cat to go in first, with a weary glance at the entrance she slipped through the opening and I followed her, Hawkstorm close behind me. I led Sabriel over to my nest and nudged her toward it once she settled down I gently placed the kit at her belly as did Hawkstorm, then he left to hunt something to eat, I laid down next to the nest, and for a while just listened, letting the mewling of the new born kit's sooth me, then finally the tortoiseshell spoke up, "You shock me, I never though a cat as sinister as you could handle a kit so well." she said.

"Tortoiseshell, there are many things about me that will shock you in time." I said feeling a smirk cross my face, then suddenly something occurred to me, for my plot to work, I would need clan kit's not rouges, I wanted to claw my own face as I realized this, "I'll be back." I said quietly as I slipped out of the den.


Cometstreak's P.O.V.

I shifted from paw to paw as I waited for Banestep to show up, "He probably forgot about me. I'm such a fool why would a cat like Banestep, want to risk everything for someone like me?" I thought to myself then got up and started to walk toward the shallow strip of lake that was low enough to walk over to the other side on.

"Where are you going?" I heard the oh so familiar meow and I looked up wide eyed as I saw Banestep padding toward me.

"I didn't think you were coming." I meowed.

"What's with you and doubting me?" he asked as he came to stand before me.

I shrugged, "I don't know." I said.

Banestep shrugged it off then suddenly brightened up, "I got an apprentice yesterday!" he said.

I let out a purr, "That's great, congratulations. Now Frozentime's kit's right?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yeah, his name's Bravepaw."

"I bet you'll make a great mentor." I said.


Eagledawn's P.O.V.

I waited quietly for Cyspin at the usual spot, I looked around an took in the scene, A tall oak tree hovered above me and a few pine tree around the small clearing, I shivered slightly as the wind blew through my fur, "Bare is approaching rapidly." I heard the clam cool voice of Cyspin split through the air.

I turned to look at him, "You tried to kill her then deceived me." I said in a low voice.

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

"Sabriel! The tortoiseshell! You tried to kill her and you didn't even tell me!" I spat.

"Eagledawn, we thought that'd be what you wanted." He's said eyes wide.

"For other cat's to die because of me? No!" I said loudly.

"When Spark said he was going to make it happen what'd you think he was going to do? He's not magic, he can't make Basilleaf fall in love with you? How else did you think he was going to do it?" Cyspin asked.

"I don't know, but I don't want you to kill her." I mewed.

"We were doing it for you." he said meowed desperately.

I suddenly felt guilt well up in me, guilt for going against the warrior code, guilt for snapping at him when he was only doing what he thought I'd want, "Cyspin… that's really sweet and I thank you guy's, but killing another cat so I can have what I want, it's just not right, and I've realized that every time I sneak out of camp to meet you, I'm breaking the warrior code." I said.

There was a flicker of emotion in Cyspin's eyes a he nodded, "I understand, you don't think we should meet any more," he meowed numbly, I nodded, "alright, I respect that." he meowed.

"Cyspin, it's not because of you, it's just-" Cyspin turned around and started padding away, "Cyspin! Cyspin!" I yelled but he didn't look back, just continue forward until he was out of side. I watched him pad away and for some reason it was hard to not follow.

"Eagledawn, that was hard but you did the right thing." The voice of Jayflight sounded, as the grey black tom came to stand next to me. I didn't say anything in respond, just leaned against his shoulder thank to have a friend at my side.


That's it... for now
