Graystripe: Silverstream!
Silverstream turned her head to look at them. At the sight of them, she suddenly looked happy.
Silverstream: Graystripe! I'm so happy to see you! Are you hunting?
Graystripe: Yes, with Fireheart.
Suddenly, Fireheart remembered why he didn't want to talk to Silverstream.
Fireheart: Silverstream, we need to go! The patrol is supposed to be coming around here!
Graystripe: That's right! We gotta go, Silverstream!
Silverstream: That's too bad. I'll see you later, Graystripe!
She gave Graystripe a lick, and he licked her back.
Graystripe: I sure hope so, Silverstream! See you lat...
He was interrupted by the sounds of cats walking nearby. Fireheart spun around, only to see the ThunderClan patrol nearby.
Graystripe: Ummmm...
Tigerclaw: What are you two doing here?
Tigerclaw sniffed the air.
Tigerclaw: RiverClan? What's a RiverClan cat doing here?
Silverstream: I accidently crossed the border. I wasn't paying any attention.
Tigerclaw: Your lying! I can't trust a RiverClan cat! What are you doing here?
Silverstream: Nothing...
Tigerclaw: I'll deal with you later. As for you two...
He turned to Fireheart and Graystripe.
Tigerclaw: What do you think your doing, talking to a RiverClan cat?
Graystripe: We were...um...asking her why she was here.
Tigerclaw: And why were you acting friendly with her? You think I didn't see you two licking each other?
Graystripe:Ummm...
Fireheart: We were just being friendly with her. Just because she's from a different clan doesn't mean we should be unfriendly to her. She explained herself, and we decided that it was no use being rude. Unlike some cats.
Tigerclaw:Traitors! Both of you! Lying to your own deputy. Making friends with cats from other clans! How can we trust you? You obviously aren't loyal to your clan!
Fireheart: No cat tells me i'm not loyal! Not even the deputy!
Tigerclaw growled.
Tigerclaw: Let's see what Bluestar thinks!
Fireheart: She'll believe me!
Tigerclaw: Whatever you say. So...you! What should we do with you?
Turned to Silverstream.
Silverstream: I'll go back to my camp! Everything's fine. I didn't do anything wrong!
Tigerclaw: Of course your gonna wanna cover it up. But I don't believe you. I'm not stupid.
Silverstream: What do you think your gonna do?
Tigerclaw: What do you think? I'm gonna get rid of you!
Silverstream: What...
Tigerclaw turns to the patrol.
Tigerclaw: You can go on with the patrol. I'll deal with this.
Whitestorm and Mousefur (the patrol) nod there heads and turn away, heading in the opposite direction to finish off the patrol.
Graystripe: What are you gonna do?
Tigerclaw ignores him.
Fireheart: You can't hurt her! She did nothing wrong!
Tigerclaw: For once, think before you speak, kittypet!
Tigerclaw pounced up on Silverstream's back. Silverstream yowled loudly.
Silverstream: Help! Get off,you big mousebrain!
Tigerclaw: This'll teach you and you little RiverClan friends to stay out wont it?
Silverstream: When I get out of here,i'll...
Tigerclaw: You wont get out of here.
Graystripe:What?
Fireheart: Tigerclaw, no , you can't do that!
Tigerclaw:Oh,yeah? Just watch!
He pressed on Silverstream's soft belly, scratching it. Silverstream screeched and yowled.
Silverstream: Get off! Help! Graystripe, I can't get up! Get him off!
Graystripe: Hold on!
He pounced on Tigerclaw ripping him off of Silverstream.
Tigerclaw: What the...
Graystripe: Get off of her!
Tigerclaw: What should you care? She's just a RiverClan cat.
Fireheart:Because he is a caring cat! He cares about more then himself or his clan! Unlike you!
Graystripe threw Tigerclaw off of him, sending him flying.
Tigerclaw:You little...
Silverstream tries to run away, but Tigerclaw spots her. He pounces on her.
Tigerclaw: Your not going anywhere!
Silverstream: What are you doing!
Tigerclaw: Cats who disobey the warrior code don't deserve to live!
Fireheart: Yeah, you should know! You've disobeyed the warrior code!
Tigerclaw hissed at Fireheart. He turned back to the battle.
Tigerclaw: Now, too finish you off!
He bit into Silverstream's neck. She yowled and then was suddenly quiet.
Graystripe: NO!
Fireheart:You killed her!
Tigerclaw:Yes. Like I planned to do.
He turns away, running to catch up with the patrol.
Graystripe:Fireheart, what should we do? Maybe she's still alive. Let's bring her to RiverClan! To the medicine cat!
Fireheart: Alright!
Fireheart picks her up in his mouth and places her on Graystripe's back.
Graystripe: Hurry! Before she does die for sure!
The run to the shallow part of the water and wade across.
Once there across, they run towards the camp.
Moments later they arrive.
Crookedstar: Silverstream! What...What happened to her?
Fireheart: No time to explain. Where's the medicine cat?
Crookedstar: Come with me.
He starts walking away towards the medincine cats den,Fireheart and Graystripe behind him.
Crookedstar: In here.
Fireheart: Thank you. Sorry about this.
Crookedstar nods,but stays there. That's when Graystripe remembers Silverstream is his daughter.
Graystripe: I'm sorry. I know she's your daughter. I didn't hurt her,nor did Fireheart. We were on hunting patrol and we saw here. Another patrol came, and...
Fireheart: Ehem..Well, maybe we should go bring her in now!
Graystripe:Right. Ok.
They walk into the den.
Mudfur: Whoa...
Graystripe: Hurry! We won't explain until she's alright.
Mudfur: But you two are from...
Fireheart: Yes, we know. Just take care of her, ok?
Mudfur: Yes. I should take her now.
