CrowThorn stepped into the medicine den with a mouse in his jaws.

"MoonStorm?" He asked adjusting to the dim lighting.

"Yes?" Said the amber eyed queen choking back tears.

He padded towards her and set the mouse down gently at her paws. She looked up at him with pain filled eyes.

"You have to eat something."

Looking down at the sleeping FoxStripe, she whispered

"How could I?"

Walking out of the den he saw GoldenFeather crossing the clearing.

"GoldenFeather!" He called out.

The she cat turned to see the warrior.

"CrowThorn? What is it?"

"Can you go check on MoonStorm? She isn't eating again."

Nodding her head the medicine cat padded towards the den.

Just then NightFrost, CrowThorns sister came into camp carrying a vole, a blackbird and two mice. He hadn't talked to her in a while; not since their parents looked across the clearing to him longingly as if to say "I miss you".

Below the speaking stone In the RiverClan camp cats were howling.

"It's ours!"

"Let's invade!"

"They killed WillowHeart!"

The voices died out as the usually calm and gentle leader came up with a cats were shocked by the plan others loved it.

From the top of a willow tree, gazing down at the clan cats a white tom was taken aback by their plan to invade another clan, he knew that the clan cats could be violent but this left him in awe.

The tom had a loner friend who said that the clans were made into four groups, ThunderClan , RiverClan, ShadowClan, and WindClan. He hadn't heard much about these cats but he knew that the river clan cats were on the other side of the river, Windclan was on the moor and ThunderClan the clan that (what he was assuming the RiverClan cats wanted to invade were )lived in the forest and finally Shadowclan who lives on the marshes. He jumped off of the branch and ran into the forest.

As CrowThorn was emerging the warriors den from a long overdue nap Copper fang called to him from below high rock.

"CrowThorn I'm going on border patrol, wanna join me, NightFrost, and StormShine?"

"Sure."

When emerging from the brambles he bumped into NightFrost

"Sorry." she said to her littermate.

"No, I'm sorry"

"For what?"

"I'm sorry for not being there when you needed me, when Snowflower and Blacktail were killed."

She stared at him with blue eyes.

"Please forgive me."

"You are." She said giving him a playful lick on the ear before heading to the front of the patrol.

A few minutes later Copperfang signaled with his tail for the cats to stop.

"What is it?" asked StormShine.

"Do u hear that?" Copperfang replied.

Just then a white tom bounded out of the bushes, cats bristled their fur.

"Who are you?" Inquired CrowThorn unsheathing his claws ready for a fight.

"I'm Fuzz, are you the Thunderclan cats?"

How does he know about us? Wondered the black tom. After a long moment of silence CopperFang spoke.

"Yes,why do you ask?"

"I heard some cats planning to invade your camp."

"How do u know this?"

"What that doesn't matter what matters is you're in trouble, they said they are coming tonight."

"Can u come back to our camp fuzz, I think our leader would like to talk to you."

"What? Oh yea sure."

On the way back to camp the cats had all kinds of questions for the cat called fuzz.

"Where did u come from?"

"My house folk don't live far from here I like to walk around"

"So you're a kitty pet"

"At what?"

"Never mind"

"How do you know about the clans?"

"I used to know this cat, who was a do you call it oh yeah a loner. She told me about the clan territories."

"Oh"

When they arrived back it camp most of the cats were in there dens but the few that remained stayed at the stranger with wide questioning eyes. Cats went to get others and pretty soon word spread to Scarletstar and the clearing was full of voices.

"CopperFang who is this?" asked the leader looking the white tom up and down.

"His name is Fuzz, he lives in twoleg place with his house folk"

" I see ,why he is here"

"Tell them Fuzz."

"I over heard some cats talking about invading your camp."

"what?" said the flame colored tabby shocked, just as surprised the cats in the clearing voices grew louder and more frantic.

"Explain it from the begging"

"Okay. I was sitting on tree branch overlooking the camp by the river what do u call it? Umm..."

"Riverclan." CrowThorn added.

"Yeah them when I saw them gather in the center of the camp and that's when they started yelling about invading and then this ginger she cat,"

"Meadow Star." said Scarlet Star

"She was plotting coming in here and steeling a cat until you gave her some rocks I don't know then I ran into the forest."

"And that's when he found us." Storm Shine replied cutting off the white toms words.

"Yes that's when I ran into them and they brought me back here to talk to you."

"I see," he said turning to face the crowd that gathered below the high rock.

"Is everyone here?"

The nodding of cats heads answered his question.

"Okay, if what he is saying is true we need to get ready by sun fall, I want the queens, warriors, and other cats to separate into groups"

As they did this the cats that were by fuzz jumped down from the rock and went into three groups.

"Okay now, queens I want you to each practice fighting with a warrior, Moon Storm you practice with Bark Tail and Apple Mist you practice with night frost." nodding to the leader the cats got into their pairs and went off to practice. "now for the warriors I want Copper Fang ,Storm Shine and Wolf Spots to go and practice fighting moves, CrowThorn StoneWing you guard the camp, an lastly moth fall practice with GoldenFeather " looking to Fuzz he said "can you fight?"

"I can try."

"Show me what you got AcornHeart come and practice with fuzz please."

While he was watching the cats in the clearing he remembered something.

"Oh and no one leaves camp."
