Suntalon: Here is another chapter! This one goes to MauMeow, I don't know much about Foxheart but I tried to give her justicfication!

Fox hearted

"would you like to go hunting later?" Foxheart's eyes lit up as Raggedpelt spoke to her.

"sure!" she mewed eagerly. "Okay I will go get Hollyflower and Archeye then we can head out!" Foxheart's tail drooped in disappointment. A hunting patrol…of course… why can't Raggedpelt just go hunting with me for once?

With an angry shake of her head Foxheart padded to the entrance of camp and followed Raggedpelt and the others out of camp and into the dense pine scented forest.

Foxheart crept forwards in the marsh, careful to not let the soft ground squeak or mush under her paws and quick as a snake she leapt out at water vole and killed it with a swipe to the neck.

"good catch!" Raggedpelt purred. "that's the first vole I've seen in ages." It had been a hard Greenleaf, the ground had been so dry that all the prey had either died or gone to live closer to water, and only a few measly voles and frogs remained.

The patrol had split up into two groups to try and cover more ground quicklier, with the sun setting they couldn't afford to be out much longer, the kits and elders would be getting hungry.

Foxheart stalked back into camp with Raggedpelt right on her tail their whole patrol together had only caught a vole and two frogs, barely enough to feed the elders and the queens.

Stonetooth padded over to the patrol "that was all you could catch?" he asked.

"that's all there was" Foxheart snapped at the Shadowclan deputy.

She was annoyed with Archeye and Hollyflower who had only caught one frog and had been giving each other longing looks the whole time chattering and mewing like they were the only ones around.

Why are you jealous of them? You could have that with Raggedpelt… Foxheart glowered at herself Raggedpelt would never see her than anything but a clanmate, he was obviously padding after Yellowpaw.

A few moons later…

Foxheart raced across the Thunderclan border with a bird in her jaws, Robinwing and Fuzzypelt were hard on her paws. The two cats didn't cross the border they just yelled empty threats.

With the arrival of Leaf bare there was hardly any prey in Shadowclan territory and lately they had been forced to take food from the Carrion Place or steal from other clans.

I would much rather have a bird than a mouse that's been dead for a moon. Foxheart was ripped from her thoughts when a terrible image flashed through her eyes.

Hundreds of eyes glared at her pain seared her then everything went black.

Foxheart woke up in Sagewhisker's den. "what happened?" she asked the medicine cat.

"Brackenfoot and his patrol found you lying on the ground. How are you feeling?"

"Fine." Foxheart hissed. She had blacked out after stealing prey she was sure cats would be giving her weird looks once she left the medicine cat den.

"come back later for a poppy seed and take it easy." The medicine cat ordered.

Foxheart just flicked her tail and headed off to where a sad lump of a fresh kill pile was. She picked up a frog and glanced over to where Raggedpelt was sitting she took a step towards him when Crowtail blocked he view.

"Would you mind sharing?" the black tabby she cat asked.

Foxheart quickly glanced over to where Raggedpelt had been moments ago sighed inwardly as she saw his tail disappear into the forest.

"You know what I'm not hungry, you can have it, I'm sure Brackenfoot would be happy to share with you." At first Crowtail looked confused but then she understood, Brackenfoot had been padding after he for moons now.

Foxheart padded over to the warriors den and curled up on the comfy pine needles only to plunge into that same horrid vision.

Foxheart woke up to the sound of Cedarstar calling a clan meeting. The sun had already climbed high up into the sky.

"As you all know rats have taken over the Carrion place and while out on patrol they attacked Stonetooth and his patrol, luckily most of them got away with only minor scratches. We will attack these rats and kill them all today! I want Raggedpelt to organize patrols since Stonetooth is still in the medicine cat den."

Raggedpelt leapt up next to Cedarstar and began the battle patrols.

"I will lead one with Foxheart, Crowtail, Cloudpaw, and Hollyflower. I want Brackenfoot to lead a second patrol incase we need help consisting of Archeye, Nightpelt, Lizardfang, and Littlebird."

With a flick of his tail the cats got into their patrols and headed out. Foxheart kept her eyes on Raggedpelt, wondering why he didn't love her and why she would never be enough for him.

Foxheart stopped as Raggedpelt flicked his tail and signaled for everyone to crouch down. Silently and smoothly the cats crept up on the rats. With a yowl of anger Raggedpelt leapt into battle. With a screech Foxheart followed along with the patrol.

She clawed and the red eyes of the rats. Where have I seen this before? Then shock coursed through her… Her DREAM! Of course! StarClan must have been warning her about the battle.

She heard a screech as Raggedpelt was dragged under into a swarm of rats.

Filled with fury Foxheart leapt at the rats as they bitt her and clawed her she uncovered Raggedpelt who shook off his pelt and his eyes filled with gratitude plunged back into battle.

This is futile! We have to find their leader or they will just keep coming!

Then out of the corner of her eye she saw him. This rat was huge, almost the size of one of those small dogs twolegs walked with. Foxheart narrowed her eyes and leaped at the rat leader. She clawed at his face he hissed and jumped for her throat. Foxheart dodged but not quick enough.

The rat leader dug his teeth into her throat with a cry of pain Foxheart raked her claws down the attackers spine hoping to dislodge him but it didn't work.

As darkness began to close in with one last effort she lunged at him and bit the back of his neck and it snapped with a satisfying crack.

Her energy seemed to seep away as she crumpled to the ground.

Raggedpelt leaned over her, his eyes full of understanding, momentarily reflecting the love she had for him, but that was replaced by honor and gratitude. With that Foxheart welcomed StarClan.

Foxheart watched as Yellowfang stared mournfully down at her three kits, two of which were headed for starClan.

Don't worry I will watch over them. She whispered to the sorrowful she-cat. Yellowfang stared up at the stars and Foxheart saw the same love she had for Raggedpelt in those eyes.

I love Raggedpelt and I will watch over these kits as if they were my own. And with that she licked the little she cat and the tiny tom who gazed up at her with open eyes.

"welcome tiny kits, do not fear I will protect you."
