"Leafpool!" Firestar yowled alongside his mate, Sandstorm. Her eyes where sparkling with sadness. "I can't believe she would just leave!" Her mew was slow and sounded as if she had to force herself to speak those dreaded words. Firestar frowned. "Firestar! Sandstorm!" Cloudtail yowled. "I found her scent over here!" Firestar shook himself. Stupid mouse-brain! Cloudtail is the best tracker in Thunderclan! Cloudtail looked grim when they padded up. "Her scent starts here." He waved his tail to the start of the dirtplace tunnel. "And continues here." He gestured his tail where Leafpool had left with Crowfeather. "There is one more scent that twines with her as her scent leave camp….And that's Crowfeather of Windclan."
(Quarter Moon later)
Onestar threw his head back in a yowl that signaled the gathering to start. Every cat grew quiet, waiting for their leaders to speak. Onestar padded forward first and glared down at the Thunderclan cats. "Thunderclan have something of ours." He mewed. Firestar jumped up, his fur bristling. "What would we have of yours!" he spat. Onestar threw him an icy look. "Crowfeather." He yowled. "You have Crowfeather in your camp now!" Firestar unsheathed his claws and sandstorm flattened her ears in fury. "Well," Firestar snarled. "Thunderclan says that you have Leafpool in your camp!" Onestar looked taken aback. "What would we want with a traitor to the clans!" He growled. Firestar's eyes blazed. "Crowfeather was a traitor to the clans as well!" Firestar hissed. Onestar's expression didn't change. "We have sent a raiding party to your clan to take him back." Firestar gasped in horror. "Tonight is the truce!" The kits and elders are the camp. I only left Hazeltail, Honeyfern, Berrynose, Poppyfrost and Mousewhisker to guard the camp! Firestar straightened up. "You want a battle Onestar. Well you have a war!" Onestar's eyes glittered. What glittered beneath those Hazel depths….sadness, regret, pain, but there was also anger. Firestar sighed and looked at his friend. The Leopardstar stepped forward, as her usual snappish self. "I think Riverclan would like to go next." Her mew was cold. Riverclan had suffered prey loss due to two-legs in their territory….blah blah blah…..Firestar stepped forward. A new litter of kits has been born. Prey is still rich in Thunderclan territory. The borders are still the borders, if we find any clan cat across our borders," Firestar swept his gaze across the crowd of cats. "You know what will happen." He mewed simply. "Enlighten us." A snicker came from the crowd. Firestar's eyes burned, but he padded silently back to his place in the tree, his tail twitching. "It seems as if your missing a warrior, Firestar." Blackstar sneered. Firestar looked a head of him. "All my warriors' are here with me." Firestar replied through clenched teeth. Blackstar smiled and his tail curled over his paws.
(Back at camp)
Hazeltail guarded the entrance to the camp. Then a yowl filled the air and the camp was engulfed with Windclan scent as cats barreled into each other. Berrynose and Honeyfern fought side by side, the power of Starclan on their side. Mousewhisker fought Breezepelt. Before Hazeltail knew what was happening, Breezeplet bit into Mousewhisker's throat and tore it out. He lay limp. Purdy stood there his fur fluffed up. Then Hazeltail heard Nightcloud's screech of anger. "He's not here! WINDCLAN RETREAT!" that's all Hazeltail remembered, then a wave of darkness washed over her.azeltailHa
