Chapter 10
"And so," Hazelstar concluded, "Tonight is the perfect night to raid the border of Shadowclan." The clan yowled in agreement. Darkfoot asked the obvious question,
"Who will go?"
"Well," replied Hazelstar, "You will, as well as Hazelbright, Owlfur, Troutfall, Springstep, and Thornstripe." Shellheart stepped forward to nuzzle Owlfur.
"Good luck!" She said, "And come back soon." Then, quietly, she added, "Don't forget about our kits!" Owlfur purred in agreement.
"I'll stay safe. See you tomorrow!" And with that, he raced off to join the other cats. Although she wasn't the eldest cat, Springstep joined Thornstripe in organizing the battle patrol. Soon enough, they were at the border, spraying a scent line much further out to Shadowclan's territory than usual. Unfortunately, a passing border patrol spotted them, and, being shadowclan cats, they attacked. Icesky jumped on darkfoot before anyone realized what was going on. Suddenly mass fury broke out. Icesky had Darkfoot pinned down and no one was near enough to save him. Icesky made a scourge-like move, and Darkfoot lay near death.
