I woke up in Leopardclan. I sighed as the sun soaked through my fur then jumped as a yowl sounded. I jerked my eyes open and jumped to my paws. Ocean Breeze was running into camp with blood soaking her fur. I gasped and ran over to her. "What happened?" I asked. Ocean Breeze's eyes were round in shock and fear.

"Lionclan! They attacked my patrol! There were too many of them. It's like they brung the whole clan!" she whimpered. Crystal Sky turned to her warriors.

"Everyone let's go!" she ordered. I followed Ocean Breeze to the Lionclan border and saw tumbling cats everywhere. Flying Eagle was cornered by five warriors while Thunder Light was buried under a group of warriors. "Stop!" Crystal Sky yowled. The cats broke apart and looked at her. Lily Storm walked to the front of the cats and Crystal Sky glared down at her. "Why are you doing this?" she spat.

"Killing Storm has told me you were planning an attack on Lionclan! Well if you want a fight, then you got one! Bring it on!" Lily Storm snarled. Then she leapt at Crystal Sky. I widened my eyes. Killing Storm! The tiger was standing on a rock towering over the clans with glee on his face. I growled and ran to him as the clans burst out into war. Killing Storm saw me coming and he bared his fangs. I jumped onto the rock and crouched low.

"You're a disgrace to this world!" I snarled. Killing Storm swiped my muzzle causing blood to spill onto the stone.

"You're pitiful little leopard! Just plain pitiful! I don't know why I let Tigerclaw take you to Thunderclan! I should've killed you before you even opened your eyes!" he hissed. I leapt at him and bowled him over. We tumbled over the rock's edge and onto the ground below with a thud. Killing Storm batted my shoulder with his paws and sliced my ear. I hissed in pain and buried my teeth in his shoulder. Killing Storm growled and swatted me off of him. I flew into the rock with a yelp. Killing Storm pinned me down and stuck his claws into my throat. I gasped as he began to choke me. His eyes were narrowed into blood thirsty slits as I struggled to escape his grasp. "Tell your worthless 'Starclan' I said they failed." he snickered. I closed my eyes as I waited for my moment to go. I'm sorry Leopardclan… Then a yowl sounded. I opened my eyes to see Feather Moon leap at Killing Storm. She snatched his throat back causing him to gag as he fell back. I gasped in air and looked down at the blood pooling around my neck. I sighed in relief as the wound wasn't too deep. Then I joined Feather Moon into battle. We battered Killing Storm from all sides as the clans fought. Then a mournful yowl filled the air. I looked over to see Flying Eagle towering over Running Breeze's body. I gasped as blood pooled around her neck and her face was glazed in pain and sorrow. Running Breeze's blood was plastered all over Flying Eagle's muzzle as he wailed in grief.

"I'm so sorry!" he whimpered. I looked at Killing Storm and saw him pinned by Feather Moon. She nodded to me. I sighed and ran over to Flying Eagle. His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at me. "I killed her, Storm Dream… I killed my mate…" he whispered. I nuzzled his shoulder comfortingly.

"Let's go and move her body out the clearing. We don't want anyone to crush her." I murmured. Flying Eagle sniffed and helped me lift Running Breeze's body onto our backs. Then we padded out the clearing. I dug a hole on the border of Lionclan and Leopardclan while Flying Eagle nuzzled his mate's fur.

"I'm so sorry… I shouldn't care about what my clan thought of me… all I need is you…" he whispered. I closed my eyes as tears began to form. This is all Killing Storm's fault… Another life is lost because of him… I growled under my breath and continued digging.

"I'm done." I mewed. Flying Eagle hesitantly nudged Running Breeze into the hole. He stopped as her body touched the edge.

"I can't do it, Storm Dream…" he whispered. I leaned into him comfortingly.

"We'll do it together." I murmured. Flying Eagle sighed and pressed his muzzle to her body. We both closed our eyes as we nudged Running Breeze into the hole. Her body fell into the dirt with a thud. Flying Eagle howled in sorrow and jumped in with her.

"I'm sorry! Don't leave me!" he whimpered. I looked away as tears fell down my cheek. "I wanna be with you… I can't be here if you're gone…"

"I'll give you some time alone." I murmured. Flying Eagle didn't answer as I padded out of the area. I stopped by a tree and stumbled onto my haunches. I whimpered as grief poured over me. "Flying Eagle, I'm so sorry…" I whispered. Tears fell down my cheeks and I sniffed. "I'm so sorry…"

I woke up back in Thunderclan. I opened my eyes to see Cinderpelt bending over me. Her eyes were glowing in the dark as she looked at me. "We need to go check on the Shadowclan cats." she whispered. I nodded and yawned as I stretched. Then I followed her out of camp. I helped her carry bundles of herbs as we walked into the forest. We carried on in silence as owls sounded in the trees. We padded into Fuzz's den and heard voices.

"And then I swooped down and snatched the hawk into my claws." Fuzz's voice rang through the tunnel.

"Wow… you're really brave for a rogue." Whitethroat's voice said in awe.

"Thanks… I guess." Fuzz mewed. I walked into view with Cinderpelt. Fuzz looked at me. "You're here!" he purred. I rolled my eyes.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I scoffed. Fuzz chuckled and beckoned outside while Cinderpelt went to go check on the sick cats. I padded back out into the woods and sighed. Me and Fuzz sat in silence as owls made soft cooing noises. I looked at Fuzz expectantly. "You wanted to talk?" I mewed. Fuzz flicked his ear as he looked at the gentle river.

"What are we, Leopardstorm?" he asked. I sighed and looked at the stars.

"I don't know what we are." I breathed. Fuzz snorted and looked at me.

"Isn't it obvious? We both love each other. Maybe it's time we should take it a little further." he mewed. I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath.

"It's not that simple." I murmured. Fuzz leaned against me and licked my ear.

"Yes it is. Nothing can stop us from being together." he said. I looked at him with a sad smile.

"Don't you get it? I have duties. I have a clan to look after." I mewed. Fuzz looked hurt.

"You can still take care of them." he said. Then he pressed his nose to my muzzle. "I really care about you, Leopardstorm… don't you love me too?" he whispered. I sighed.

"Of course I do. But it's against the warrior code." I murmured.

"Then come live with me then. We can live together here. No warrior code will keep us apart then." Fuzz said. I closed my eyes.

"It's not that simple, Fuzz… I couldn't live with myself knowing I left my clan." I whispered. I felt cold air rush to my shoulder as Fuzz moved away. I jerked my eyes open and looked at him. His head was bowed in sadness and hurt. "Fuzz, I'm really sorry…" I murmured. Fuzz sighed then looked at me with his side smile but I still saw the hurt in his eyes.

"It's ok. I'll wait." he mewed. I tilted my head.

"Wait?" I asked.

"Yeah. Because one day you'll realize that there's no point in being the cat everyone wants you to be. Cats are going to hate you and some are going to love you. That's just how life is." Fuzz meowed. Then he stood up and faced his den. "So yeah. I'll wait." he murmured in my ear. Then he padded into his den without looking back. I stared after him in sadness. Then a breeze ruffled my fur. But how long is he going to wait for you? I twitched my ear as the voice rang through my head.

"Starclan, what am I going to do?" I whispered.
