Thank you to all of my readers and reviewers! I am only sad to say that the story is almost done! Countdown: 3... next will be 2 and the one after that will be the last. Sorry, if anyone really likes this story (which I know some people do!)

I do not own Warriors!


Ravenwing? Why? Sandtail felt claws meet her shoulder as she tried desperately to get out of the way. "Why?" She hissed at Ravenwing as she dodged his claws again. "What happened to you, the real you? What happened to that little kitten who used to challenge me to games, and who used to be so nice? What happened to him, the Ravenkit that I once knew?"

"He is gone!" Ravenwing hissed. "That pathetic little kit you used to know is gone! You crushed my heart, Sandtail! Why? Why did you mate with my brother? Do you know how much that hurt me? It's like a wound, it keeps opening, everyday! It keeps flowing, draining me of blood, killing me! Only you could've stopped it, and you never even noticed! You are the reason why this attack came! I planned it, carried it out!"

"What? You traitor! You didn't have to attack the clan if you wanted to hurt me!" Sandtail lashed her tail back and forth, preparing to pounce again. "Do you know who is getting hurt because of this battle? Innocent cats!"

"And that shall hurt you even more!" Ravenwing spat. "Knowing that you were the cause of this! You killed them, Sandtail! You!"

"No!" Sandtail hissed, leaping at the tom and knocking him off of his feet. "You are wrong, Ravenwing! Dead wrong!"

"It is you who shall die!" Ravenwing spat, clawing at Sandtail's belly, opening the wound again. Scarlet coated the ground, and Sandtail found her strength leaving her. I have to finish this, soon! Sandtail clawed back at Ravenwing's belly, but she couldn't claw as hard as the tomcat, who hadn't been fighting when she had been.

"Sandtail!" Thornheart called, jumping at Ravenwing. I light brown tabby pelt knocked Thornheart to the ground before he could tackle Ravenwing. Blue eyes blazed in Thornheart's face. "Splashflame? What are you doing? He's trying to kill Sandtail!"

"I know," The tabby meowed calmly. "It has to be done."

"What? Not you too!" Thornheart clawed at Splashflame.

"Get off!" Sandtail hissed. She clawed at Ravenwing, who just laughed.

"Thornheart, brother, you can not stop me, or the Dark Forest, from taking over," The voice didn't sound like Ravenwing's voice, it sounded only... cruel. "Splashflame is one with us. Nothing can stop us now!"

"Why would you join the Dark Forest?" Sandtail asked. "Do you not want to go to StarClan?"

"StarClan is only a kit's tale," Splashflame meowed. "Thornheart, follow us, or die along with the Golden Light."

"Golden Light?" Thornheart asked.

"Me," Sandtail meowed. "The Golden Light... I have... to save the clan!"

"Ravenwing, Splashflame, what happened to you two?" A voice meowed. A black pelted cat stepped out of the shadows. Nightshadow! Please, don't let her be on their side too!

"Join us, sister," Ravenwing hissed. "Or die!"

"Never!" Nightshadow hissed, tackling Ravenwing off of Sandtail. Sandtail managed to get up and see Nightshadow fighting off Ravenwing, and Thornheart and Thistlepelt, who had just gotten back to camp with more warriors, were both fighting Splashflame.

"Be gone!" Bark, the cat from before, hissed, leaping out of nowhere at Sandtail.

"Never! Stay away from her!" Mudheart hissed. He had been one of the cats who had just returned. Mudheart clawed at Bark. Bark, since he was almost beaten when he decided to attack Sandtail, fell to the ground, limp and dead.

"Thanks," Sandtail whispered to her father as she ran to help Nightshadow. Sandtail leaped onto Ravenwing's back, digging her claws in. Ravenwing howled in pain, but before he could attack Sandtail, Nightshadow clawed at his face, blinding the black tom. Ravenwing collapsed to the ground, defeated but not dead.

"Stop!" A cat called. It was Illuminatedpath.

Sandtail looked around. Dead cats lay on the ground. Oh no, oh no! Sandtail noticed that most were rogues. But she did notice that Speckleleaf was lying on the ground, motionless. No, not her! She was so young! Sandtail noticed the faint rise and fall of her chest and ran towards her.

"Sandtail?" Speckleleaf whispered. "Where... are... my sisters?"

"Sweetblossom! Icebird! Poppyflower!" Sandtail called desperately. The three she cats came running over.

"Speckleleaf!" Sweetblossom cried. "Don't die!"

"Where are Fallingheart and Moonmask?" Poppyflower cried.

"Collecting... herbs," Icebird said hollowly.

"Sisters..." Speckleleaf choked. "Don't... ever... forget me. StarClan... is calling."

"No!" Sweetblossom wailed. She was licking her sister's head. "Don't leave!"

"I'm sorry," Speckleleaf coughed. "But... they're waiting... for me... be good... never forget... that... I love you... all of you..."

And with that, Speckleleaf lay limp. Sweetblossom wailed, and Poppyflower hung her head in grief. Icebird licked her sister's head sadly. Sandtail felt her heart ache. You killed them, Sandtail! You! Ravenwing's words rang through Sandtail's mind. No! I would never kill my clan mates! Speckleleaf, wake up! Don't die! But Sandtail knew that the pretty calico was already with StarClan.

"Sandtail," Thornheart meowed. "I'm so sorry. I heard what Ravenwing said. It's not your fault."

"It is!" Sandtail wailed. "He was after me, yet he hurt the whole clan!"

"But it's over now, Sandtail. Look," Thornheart meowed, waving his tail around.

Warriors were gathering the bodies of the rogues. The list of dead cats were Shark, his neck ripped open, Bark, who had been killed by Mudheart, and five other cats that Sandtail didn't recognize. Along with them, Sandtail spotted a familiar silvery pelt. Ivyclaw. She was dead; she must've been killed by a rogue who didn't know that she was on their side. Splashflame and Ravenwing sat in the middle of camp, surrounded by warriors glaring at them, their claws ready to swipe.

"Where's Acornstar?" Morningleaf called. All of the cats looked around.

"He was here during the battle," Lakepaw mewed. "I-I saw him!"

"Was anyone hurt?" Echopoppy asked. "I know what marigold looks like... or I could go find Fallingheart and Moonmask..."

"I'll come with you," Lakepaw meowed. "I-if that's okay..." Lakepaw was looking at Sandtail. Sandtail nodded.

Oooh... Sandtail felt herself wobble. The blood-loss was getting to her. Her vision started getting fuzzy. Sandtail opened her mouth to speak, but she collapsed to the ground first. "Sandtail!" Sandtail heard Thornheart call. And the last thing Sandtail heard was someone shout from the other side of camp, "Wolfcall's dead!"


No! Not Wolfcall! Now who'll be deputy? Hey, is anyone glad that Nightshadow stayed on the good side? She was based after one of my friends... and OMS! Splashflame's evil! Eh, some people saw that coming. "Beware the fire of the water" the flame of the Splash... Splashflame.

Yeah... please review (4 please?) And thank you to everyone who has reviewed throughout my story... you people (and other creatures) are amazing!
