The elders poked their heads out of their den and looked around at the havoc going on around them. Brightwhisker shuffled out of the elders den and meowed "What's going on?" Bluefire padded up to the elder and told her to safely go back in the elders den. "I will do no such thing!" Yowled Brightwhisker. Icestar was having groups of cat's attack anything that looked like it could be attacked, while Sharpclaw organized a group of strong warriors to guard the nursery. Adderfang and Brookestorm stood there watching everything that was happening. They had no order to do anything to help. That's when Sharpclaw darted over to Adderfang and yowled "We're missing one more warrior to guard the nursery!" "Fine! I'll go!" He meowed looking at Brookestorm with love. Brookestorm opened her mouth to protest, but closed it, seeing as it wouldn't help the situation. The three twolegs from that afternoon came through the trampled remains of the camp entrance. *Well, would you look at that.* Said one of the twolegs. "Be ready!" Yowled Icestar.

The three twolegs started to walk forward into the camp. Icestar stared in horror. She soon snapped out of it and flicking her tail she yowled "ATTACK!" Basically the whole clan jumped at the three twolegs, claws outstretched. Suddenly the tallest of the three blew on a silver thing which let out a high pitched tweet. The cat's immediately scrambled off the twolegs as they watched in horror as more and more twolegs poured into the camp. Quick in thinking Icestar yowled "PROTECT THE KITS! PROTECT THE NURSERY!" Brookestorm saw Brightwhisker in the middle of the clearing. Confused she asked herself "What's Brightwhisker doing down there? Why isn't she in the elders den?" She pelted to where Brightwhisker was, only to be picked up by a twoleg. "LET ME GO!" She yowled hissing and biting the twoleg. Within heartbeats the twoleg let her go.

Three of Icestar's warriors were in cages. "no." She whispered. Suddenly two starry warriors appeared beside her. Icestar starred in wonder. She recognized one of the cats. "Treestar?" She meowed. The half tailed cat bowed. "Yes Icestar. It's me. And this is my mate, Thistletail." "Wait. How can I see you. I'm blind!?" Icestar yowled in horror. Thistletail answered calmly "We are in your mind and outside your mind, but, we have made ourselves so that only YOU could see us." "We will help you in this great turmoil." Meowed Treestar in answer. With that they gave Icestar a boost of power. She got her three warriors out of the cages. "GO! NOW! GO HELP YOUR CLAN MATES!" She yowled.

Brightwhisker was confused. "Where am I?" She asked dazed. She had fallen off the shallow cliff from where the elders den was. A twoleg was rambling straight for her when both Adderfang and Brookestorm pounced on the twoleg to advert his attention.

Warriors piled onto the twoleg, trying to keep him from getting up. Brookestorm pelted with Adderfang to go help Brightwhisker only to be tugged away by her scruff by Sharpclaw. "SHARPCLAW!" She yowled in anger. "Be angry at me if you want. That apprentice needs your help." He pointed his tail at Shrewpaw on the great rock struggling with a twoleg. Brookestorm immediately streaked up onto the great rock to help her clan mate. When she hissed, all the twoleg said was *YOW! That must be the mother!* and ran off. "Thanks." Mewed Shrewpaw with a glad look on her face. "No problem." Meowed Brookestorm in answer. From the great rock Brookestorm could see the whole camp and the whole clan fighting for their lives. Suddenly there was an earsplitting groan and the giant oak that sheltered the camp was falling. Brookestorm saw that it was going to hit Adderfang and yowled "ADDERFANG! WATCH OUT!"

Adderfang was trying to get the half delusional elder to get up but he couldn't. When he heard Brookestorm's warning he looked up. The giant oak was slowly, very slowly, ripping out it's root's. Adderfang panicked. "Come on Brightwhisker! Get up!" He yowled.

"ADDERFANG!" Yowled Brookestorm launching herself down into the clearing to help her new mate only to be tugged back by Icestar. "LET ME GO!" She yowled at her leader. "I don't need you to risk your life right now." Yowled Icestar. "We need as many warriors as possible! Healthy warriors!" The tree was very slowly picking up speed. Adderfang was now desperately trying to get the elder (who now was sleeping) to get up.

The tree ripped from it's root's and crashed down into the clearing. "ADDERFANG! NOOOOOOOOOO!" Tears were filling Brookestorm's eyes. The twolegs left, leaving the three there. The shortest of the twolegs said *Well, there's no oil here. Just some crazy, stupid cats.* before turning to leave. Brookestorm was lying beside the place where Adderfang was crushed, crying heavily. Icestar padded up onto the giant oak to look over her injured clan mates. Birdsong, Adderfang's litter mate, padded up to where Brookestorm was lying. "I knew he loved you very much." Mewed Birdsong in sympathy. "But he's in a better place now, looking over you." This just made Brookestorm cry even more heavily.

Icestar looked at the mess the twolegs had made. "Is this what you really wanted?" She asked looking up at the sky. "Who are you talking to Icestar?" Asked Sharpclaw. "No one." Meowed Icestar shying away from her deputy. Suddenly one of the stars in the night sky shone brighter than all the rest and let a beam of light hit the place where the great oak was lying on Adderfang. "Starclan is accepting them." Meowed Icestar nonchalantly. "THEM!?" Mewed Shrewpaw. "Who's THEM?" "Adderfang and Brightwhisker." Meowed Brookestorm, tears stopping. The starry warrior appeared beside Icestar and jumped down beside Brookestorm. "Leafclan" He addressed the whole clan. "You must seek out a new home." "Why?" Asked Brookestorm. Adderfang turned to face her, star's glimmering in his eyes. "The twolegs will be back and destroy the camp and the clan again, as they did today. They'll do it before everyone is healed!" Adderfang warned. The whole clan gasped. Adderfang looked at Brookestorm and meowed "I love you more than anything." "I know." Brookestorm was looking at Adderfang with with love, not tears. "I have to tell you something." He starred at Brookestorm with love. "Starclan had given me permission to bless you." Brookestorm looked at Adderfang in complete wonder. "You mean..." "Yes. You will have my kits."

Brookestorm snuggled up to the starry warrior saying "Thank you." before he vanished. Icestar sat on the oak and looked at Brookestorm. Eyes lighting up as she said "Congratulations." The whole clan started to congratulate Brookestorm for what happened when Icestar hissed for silence. "Then it's decided?" She meowed to Sharpclaw loud enough for the whole clan to hear. Sharpclaw nodded. "We move."
