Petalpaw and Gorsewhisker sprinted into camp and whispered something into Stripestar's
ears.
"Aargh!" Stripestar growled. "Windclan again!"
"What's wrong with them this time?" Shortclaw asked.
"They're invading, let's go!" Stripestar yowled. "Gingerclaw, Gorsewhisker, Featherfur,
Petalpaw, Thistlepaw, Shortclaw, and Rosepaw, come with."
The cats raced out of camp and towards the Thunderpath. Suddenly they were surrounded
by Windclan cats. Among them were Honeyclaw and Blacktail. Honeyclaw had a look of
insanity in her pretty green eyes, and her gaze was trained on Rosepaw. "Smallkit." She
hissed. Gingerclaw and Blacktail shared a surprised glance.
"Windclan attack! Show them whose boss!" Windclan's leader, Duststar yowled angrily.
Blacktail leaped onto Shortclaw's back and Gingerclaw knew they were evenly matched.
He leaped onto the closest Windclan cat, a pale tabby tom, and gave him a vicious nip to
the back of his neck that sent the tom squealing back to Windclan territory. He looked
around and saw that now everyone was fighting someone. Blacktail and Shortclaw were
still fighting, and Petalpaw and Thistlepaw were fighting a huge battle-scarred she-cat
together. Stripestar was fighting Duststar and Gorsewhisker was fighting an angry
looking tom. Gingerclaw looked around for Featherfur and saw her running back to
camp; she had been defeated by a small she-cat. He ran at the Windclan cat and she
slipped out of the way at the last second. Gingerclaw skidded to a halt and the she-cat
was suddenly on top of him. She bit his scruff and he flipped over on top of her. He heard
the Oomph she made when she hit the ground. She got out from underneath him and
quickly clawed his face and he clawed her back. His claw sunk straight into her eye and
she yowled in pain and ran away from him as fast as possible. He turned around and the
blood dripped into his eyes, but he saw his daughter and his former mate fighting.
"Leave her alone!" He hissed and clawed Honeyclaw's side. Honeyclaw screeched in
pain and tried to bite Rosepaw's throat. "You ruined my life Smallkit!"
"My name is Rosepaw, not Smallkit!" Rosepaw growled.
"You're my daughter, I know who you are, and I named you myself." Honeyclaw replied,
the anger fading in her voice.
"No! You're not my mother, Fernwillow is!"
Honeyclaw's eyes opened up wide. "If you're not my daughter, it won't bother me at all
to kill you right now."
She lifted up her right foreleg and was about to claw Rosepaw's throat when Gingerclaw
sunk his teeth into Honeyclaw's throat. She made a gurgling sound and was still.
The entire battle stopped and Blacktail looked mournfully at Honeyclaw.
"She didn't deserve to die, but there was nothing else to do." Gingerclaw whispered.
The Shadowclan cats left the Windclan cats to take Honeyclaw's body home.
Gingerclaw head was still reeling when they got back to camp.
