The cats raced as fast as possible knowing that the wolves would be following them. Tawnyfoot was carrying one of her newborn kits as she sensed that whoever faced a wolf wouldn't stand a chance if the beast caught up to it and ripped it apart. The shrieks of the animals continued to echo throughout the night. Soon the cats arrived in Thunderclan camp out of breath and exhausted. They never ran faster from danger than before. Falconwing collapsed from shortness of breath while Tawnyfoot headed into the nursery. The other cats followed as they put down the newborn kits as they all squirmed for warmth.

"Why are you back so soon and why is Shadowclan here?" Snowstorm mewed as he was confused on what was going on. Featherstar spoke out.

"Loners attacked us while Tawnyfoot was kitting, then wolves came and made us a screaming panic of felines as we raced all the way back here." Featherstar panted, she was breathless after what happened. Robinflight peeked into the nursery as he was looking at the squirming newborn kits. The other queens were not amused as they had fewer kits than her. Poppyspots looked at her two kits and Frostcloud looking at her only surviving tom. Most of her kits died shortly after they were born. The two queens looked at the four healthy kits as they were jealous about it.

"Looks like Tawnyfoot ate well." Poppyspots reported as she looked at the kits. Frostcloud looked at her only surviving kit as it tumbled around with the other queen's kits.

"I bet with that big of a litter, she'll run out of milk quickly." Frostcloud mewed as she looked at the kits. Running out of milk was deadly for a queen since they would have nothing to feed their kits with. They knew it was only a matter of time before the queen will go dry.

"How did the kitting go Tawnyfoot?" Shadowstep asked. Ivypaw followed him. Shadowstep had grown to his apprentice and was spending more time with her much to his discomfort.

"The kitting went fine; it's just that I'm exhausted because we ran from the wolves that showed up from nowhere." Tawnyfoot responded. Her breath was still shaky as she was panting hard.

"Slow your breathing down since we don't want you to get sick." Shadowstep warned her.

"Do you think the wolves would have followed us?" Pebblestar asked, his voice was still trembling with fear.

"From where we are, they wouldn't have followed us since there was plenty of prey to be found when those loners attacked." Falconwing responded as he slowly got back up. It was clear that they would be prey if they didn't watch their step.

"Well you're free to stay here for the night until the wolves go away." Featherstar offered. Pebblestar looked at her as he was wondering by what she had meant.

"You couldn't be any kinder for what you said." Pebblestar responded. "Shadowclan is grateful for cats like you." Soon the cats soon went to sleep as several cats took turns keeping their eyes open to look for any wolves that would be straying too close.

The sun was rising the next morning as Tawnyfoot's eyes opened as the rays filtered into the nursery. The kits were asleep and Tawnyfoot felt a warm breath on her cheek as her eyes opened as she was wondering what it was. If it was a wolf, they would have been alerted to their position. However it turned out to be much bigger. Tawnyfoot looked up as she saw the breath of huge black animal with horns. It was a bison.

"What are they doing here?"Tawnyfoot asked. Soon the screeching of a cat came from the medicine cat. Soon a kit Bison came running as Shadowstep hissed as the animal was trampling and eating his herb garden.

"They see the herbs as food." Snowstorm mewed. "They're a lot bigger than Mountain goats and a lot more dangerous." Snowstorm looked around to see Swiftbreeze drive the last of the beasts away. Pebblestar got up as he and the clan gathered around as they were ready to leave.

"I bet the wolves must have moved on, we should get going, see you at the next gathering" Pebblestar mewed, he soon turned his head as the cats left the camp one by one. It was clear that they were going to get out. Robinflight was the last to leave.

"I promise you that you would take very good care of your kits." Robinflight mewed to Tawnyfoot.

"I promise I will, if my first two kits got this far, then these will be just as healthy." Tawnyfoot responded. She gave the tom a lick on his cheek as Robinflight bounded away after his clan. Tawnyfoot knew that the clan rested between her and the kits.

Moons go by and the kits were growing up quickly on a rich diet of whatever the clan could find. However none of the kits were allowed to leave since the wolves were still a danger. The four kits, Maplekit, Tigerkit, Sparrowkit and Hawkkit were all playing around with the other kits when Tawnyfoot decided to get up from sunning herself as she spotted a blind she-cat straying close to the camp. One of her legs had swelled up as it was infected and her tail was broken in half. It was clear that Rosepetal wasn't finished. However she stood alone, it was clear the loners had either abandoned her or were killed off by the monsters. Tawnyfoot stood there looking at her, Soon Rosepetal left as she knew it would be impossible to take her on alone with Tawnyfoot and her clan by her side, what few loners were left with her decided to begin to plan on how they could take down the troublesome cat that caused so many problems before. Rosepetal knew that she would be victorious if everything went according to plan, she was going to slaughter Tawnyfoot but as she left to take up position, she was unaware that this fight was going to be her last.

The sun rose bright and early but half of the clan hadn't returned since many of them were busy transporting fish back and forth to the camp and there were shortages of cats among the clans. So the queens had to participate in the morning patrols. Tawnyfoot was fast asleep with Frostcloud and the kits in the nursery when Crowstorm's head peeked in.

"Tawnyfoot, it's you and me this morning, we'll be going on a patrol." Crowstorm mewed. Tawnyfoot woke up. She stretched out her long legs as she prepared to head out, she turned to Frostcloud with the 7 kits huddled together.

"Take good care of my kits until I get back." Tawnyfoot mewed to the sleeping queen.

"I will." Frostcloud muttered half asleep. Tawnyfoot soon exited the nursery. The two cats met up as they went on the patrol for the first time in moons but they were unaware that they were walking straight into a trap.

The two cats walked around their territory as they chatted and laughed together. Soon Tawnyfoot spotted fur that was sneaking around, she tensed up sensing that the wolves were nearby. Crowstorm tensed up too as he stood with his tail touching hers. Soon the wolf like tails slipped around as Crowstorm's snout bore out into a hiss as he warned them not to come near but these were just disguises. They weren't wolves at all.

Soon the cats leaped from the bushes as they began to attack, two cats attacked Crowstorm as Rosepetal confronted Tawnyfoot. The two cats hissed before Rosepetal took the first charge as she tackled the much bigger warrior to the ground. The two cats were fighting as they tumbled around heading near a cliff. Things were going to end in disaster.

Crowstorm managed to chase the two loners away as he realized the two cats were perilously close to the gorge where the river ran through. Crowstorm raced to the cliff where the two cats were and Rosepetal seemed to have overpowered the larger cat when Tawnyfoot had a trick up her sleeve. Using her back paws, she kicked Rosepetal viciously as she sent her up in the air. Tawnyfoot rolled free but before she-cat dart away, Rosepetal gripped her claws into Tawnyfoot's flanks as she was ready to pull her into the river with her. Tawnyfoot using her back paws again began to rake the underbelly of the blind cat. Rosepetal still had her claws sunken into the cat as she was trying to climb over her and push Tawnyfoot into the gorge. Rosepetal was slowly losing her grip as she desperately climbed further ripping apart the larger cat's flanks. Tawnyfoot was also losing her grip as Crowstorm approached her. He bit into the warrior's scruff to try to help her from slipping. However the weight of the two cats put together was more than Crowstorm could bear. Soon he was slipping too despite his paws kicking the dirt so he wouldn't fall in. Soon they couldn't bear it and with a sudden jerk forward, all three cats fell into the gorge below. The howls of the wolves terrified the cats as they all landed into the river with a thud, there was no turning back.
