"Are you sure they arn't in the camp" bellowed whitestar to redpaw and goldenpaw. Redpaw stepped forward "im sure we searched everywhere in the camp" redpaw meowed as whitestars amber eyes glowed as his daughter redpaw act like a leader. Whitestar looked at goldenpaw and redpaw "well maybe you looked but im not sure she did" whitestar yowled flicking his tail at the trembling golden apprentice. A brown she cat made her way to the front to stand beside lionheart her white and amber eyes glared into the leader. "HOW DARE YOU TALK TO YOUR CATS LIKE THAT" she yowled "brambleclaw i dont need this" Whitestar hisses as he watched Lionheart get closer to Onewhisker. Whitestar turned his attention to brambleclaw "Even you know about a blind cat remember mossetfur" Brambleclaw yowled Whitestars amber eyes went wide an his eyes turned to slits. "HOW DARE YOU BRING THAT UP BRAMBLECLAW" Whitestar yowled as he unsheathed his claws. Cinderpelt made her way to stand beside Greenfur "STOP how is this going to find the apprentices" cinderpelts mew silenced the arguing cats. Greenfur's paws trembled as she fell to the ground with her head in her paws. Cinderpelt put her ashed tail on her back "its ok greenfur tigerpaw and cloudtail are going to be ok" she mewed calmly as she shot a glare at whitestar. A flash of a ginger she cat jumped out the ferns and ran to whitestar. Onewhisker and Lionheart ran to there panting kit as soon as foxpaw was about to tell them about ashstripe. She turned around to see the patrol and ashstripe with brownfur. Greenfur raced to tigerpaw and cloudtails side who was being led to cinderpelts den by spottedpaw and cinderpelt. Brambleclaw ran to blossompaw and wrapped her paw around her as she stared at ashstripe with cold eyes. "what is this brownfur" Whitestar bellowed Brownfur looked around as he met foxpaws cold green eyes they where in slits she unsheathed her claws and growled. Brownfur looked at tigerpaw and blossompaw who bothed hissed and there eyes were slits like foxpaw. "BROWNFUR" Whitestar yowled making the brown warrior jump he sighed "its my mother" he yowled he looked at ashstripe who smiled and his foster mother darkstripe who backed away and raced into the warriors den followed by icelaw and firepool as they went to comfort there sister. Deadheart went to stand beside whitestar on the highstone "the battle was fierce foxpaw and tigerpaw managed to chase of jetpaw and bluepaw much bigger than them brownfur and cloudtail fought yellowstar when they where protecting oceanstar" Deadheart began as Whitestar stood on her tail "is oceanstar ok" he quickly meowed Deadheart grabbed her tail with her paws and pulled it from under whitestars front paws. "she is fine anyway cloudtail and brownfur killed yellowstar a small apprentice scratched cloudtails eye and brownfur is half lightningclan" Deadheart bowed her head and jumped down the highstone. Brownfur looked shocked at what his denmate said "TRAITOR" "EXILE HIM" "KILL HIM" Ashstripe yowled in fury "we will leave" she yowled Brownfur stared at his mother in shock she glared at whitestar her amber eyes shinned like fire. Lionheart went to stand beside Whitestar "Brownfur will not be exiled he has never shown his loyalty to any other clans" whitestar began and lionheart look over "but ashstripe will be kept as a prisoner and you will be caring for her until me and whitestar can trust her" lionheart spat as Ashstripe unsheathed her claws.

Foxpaw, Blossompaw,crowpaw, redpaw and tigerpaw where sat in front of the apprentices den all eyes were in slits, unsheathed claws and there fur bristling. Whitestar saw this "calm down you five" you flicked his tail towards the angry apprentices. "this meeting is over" Whitestar yowled as the stoneclan cats went to comfort Darkstripe or went into groups talking about what happened.

Tigerpaw was clawing his moss bed as Blossompaw was sat next to her sister Goldenpaw. Redpaw was sat near the entrance eyes still in slits. Crowpaw was scratching the den in anger. Ravenpaw was tearing a squirrel he had been eating. Brackenpaw was sat down eating mouse. While Foxpaw was pacing around the den eyes in slits. "why are you all so annoyyed by whitestars choice" Brackenpaw mewed all the apprentices turned to look at the brown apprentice "maybe because she is a traitor" Ravenpaw hissed "didn't you see the hate in her eyes" tigerpaw yowled as brackenpaw was staring at her friends "SHE NEARLY TOOK BROWNFUR FROM US" Redpaw meowed with hatred in her voice "Maybe you should go stay out there with her" Blossompaw flicked her tail angrily as rain started to pour down heavily as brownfur and ashstipe made there way to the dead tree near the warriors den. "Or maybe we could end you here" Crowpaw's blue eyes turned to slits. Brackenfur stepped back in fright she looked at the ginger she cat for help. Instead her green eyes where fully slits ears flattened "Brackenpaw stop trying to cause trouble for us all" Tigerpaw hissed "i causing trouble what about you guys all you do is run into battle when you'r not told to" brackenpaw stood up her fur bristled. She turned to foxpaw "maybe you should think before you go into battle look what happened to cloudtail" she spat foxpaw took a step back and ran out the den into the rain. Tigerpaw and blossompaw glared at brackenpaw "nice friend" Blossompaw spat as they raced out to find Foxpaw by the dead tree talking to ashstripe. Both blossompaw and tigerpaw stopped to listen "so youngster what brings you here" ashtripe meowed foxpaw lifted her brown tipped paw "well i want to ask you if nightfur is going to be a good leader" foxpaw mewed ashstripe looked at her "well umm nightfur will lead his clan into battle not like yellowstar would but i fear he will come for revenge" she hissed foxpaw nodded her head and headed to the fresh kill pile her ginger and brown fur clung to her skin. Blossompaw and Tigerpaw glanced at each other and raced to the apprentices den. Ashstripe smirked "stupid apprentice" she spat as she curled up in her bed and fell asleep.
