Spottedfur walked through the woods, going to the river. Perhaps, she could find a safe birthing den or a large bush she could dig under. Whatever she did, she had to do it fast. It had almost been two moons; if her kits were still alive, they would be born soon. It wasn't long before she had found a bush and dug a safe shelter under it. "Hey, what's that scent?" Spottedfur froze. RiverClan cats! If they found her… well, it couldn't be any worse than ThunderClan… right!?

"It's over by the bush!"

"Are you sure?"
"yes, I'm sure, mouse-brain!"
"Ok, ok…"

The two RiverClan warriors started walking towards the bush when Spottedfur heard a voice calling out to the RiverClan warriors. "Blackclaw, Mistyfoot! What are you doing, come on!"

"Yes, Stonefur!" the dark grey she-cat said to the battle-scarred tom. As they went over the hill, Spottedfur couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The last cat of the three, Mistyfoot, turned around but then ran over the hill to join the rest of the patrol. She curled back up, shifted in the mud, and fell asleep

When Spottedfur awoke, she felt something wet, and warm trickling down the side of her face…

Blood.

She heard a snarling voice and felt claws holding her down. "well, look who just woke up!" the RiverClan deputy, Stonefur, was holding her down, just like Barkface had when she was in the WindClan medicine den. Except being pinned down with claws slowly digging into her back was the opposite of being helped. Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance to the bush-den-thing. A large, dog-like animal was standing there, with grey and white fur, and turquoise eyes. "What…!" Spottedfur and Stonefur were frozen in fear, staring at the dog-like creature. "I am Moonstar, leader of MoonClan."

"what-Clan?" Stonefur asked. Spottedfur tried to ask what MoonClan was, but was only able to let out a strangled mew. "Never heard of WhatClan." Moonstar said. Spottedfur let out a purr of amusement. Stonefur pressed harder onto her throat, and she started to choke. Moonstar growled at Stonefur. "Let. her. Go."

"Why should I?"

Moonstar crouched down into the hunting crouch. "it's meal time!"

StoneFur Crouched down "you wouldn't dare…". MoonStar then Pounced, hitting only StoneFur making him hit the ground with terrible force, MoonStar's claws punctured StoneFur's skin while he struggled. "Any last words?" MoonStar spoke with a Twisted tone… Stonefur yowled in pain, as Moonstar's huge claws punctured his pelt. Spottedfur watched in horror, her throat still gushing blood. She was paralyzed with fear, her eyes wide. Her vision was slowly blurring; she was falling unconscious. MoonStar sat down making sure her weight didn't change and grabbed some cobwebs and put on her wounds, trying her best to keep her alive, "you are breaking the laws of StarClan killing her, she is an expecting she-cat!" MoonStar pressed her claws on him harder, eyes flaring in rage. Spottedfur mewed in distress. Her throat stung, and her vision started to swim again. She let out a small squeak. MoonStar opened her mouth showing StoneFur all her teeth, her rage making her not think of her actions. "Say goodbye" she begins to lean in putting more pressure on him about to eat him. Spottedfur yowled in pain, as the pool of blood got very slowly bigger. MoonStar snaps at StoneFur almost biting his nose off. "Hang in there she-cat!" MoonStar begins thinking again and gets up and gives SpottedFur some poppy seeds and more cobwebs and turns to StoneFur again. Spottedfur lifted her head- well, about an inch- and yowled louder than ever.
