Me: Shard it's your chapter.

Ember

Shard sighed and curled her tail over her forepaws. She missed sleeping next to Lion. He had been confined to the healer's den even though her patrol had brought back the herbs.

Also Ember had gone missing several mooons before but no one had time to go look for him since everyone was preparing for leaf-bare.

"Shard." Bone's loud annoying voice sounded from in the clearing. "What is it Bone?" She asked, sliding out of the shadows.

"Get Flicker." Bone commanded. "Yes sir." Shard rolled her eyes and padded towards the apprentice's den. "Wake up." Shard's cold voice sounded in Flicker's ears. "What? Shard I want to sleep more." Flicker rolled over onto his side. "Now, unless you want Bone to wake you instead." With that Flicker leapt to his paws.

"I'm awake." Flicker meowed hastily. "Good now come." Shard beckoned Flicker into the clearing.

"Scourge wants you two to go and steal some kits." Bone told them, his voice ringing arrogant across the clearing. "From where?" Shard asked. "Windclan." Bone's eyes darted over to Flicker as he meowed the response. "Let's go." Flicker's eyes betrayed nothing as he padded away and out of camp.

"Steal from Windclan!" Flicker was ranting on about how he couldn't betray his used to be clan. "But Flicker, you left because you hated it there." Shard tried in vain to soothe the black and white tom.

"No! No! No!" Flicker stopped and tilt his head back to yowl. "Hush, I can do it alone if you want." Shard meowed. "You would do that?" Flicker's eyes lit up as he looked up hopefully at Shard. "Yes, but you have to come to the edge of the territory though."

"Right, let's go!" Flicker raced across the Thunderpath and dashed across the sidewalk and out of view.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

"Do you smell that?" Shard opened her mouth tasting the air. "Yes, it smells sort of like a clan. But I've never smelled it before." Shard frowned in concentration.

"Hold on, I think I see something!" Flicker flicked his tail at some shadow's moving subtly in the darkened forest. "And to think it's barely sun-high." Flicker muttered as he crept towards the shadows.

"Reow!" A dark-grey cat launched herself at Shard. "Ember!?" Shard yowled in surprise and rapidly shoved Ember off her. "What are you doing?" Shard glared daggers at the young tom.

"You're in Nightclan territory." Ember hissed at Shard. "What's Nightclan?" Flicker asked innocently.

Ember turned to glare at the black and white tom. "It's a strong clan, stronger then anyone." The tabby tom bared his fangs emphasizing stronger. "You really think so?" Shard narrowed her eyes looking at the arrogant tom.

-Quick point of view change, Ember!-

Inside Ember's tough exterior his mind was reeling with shock and fear. He knew that Shard was powerful and a killer. "Get lost, kits!" Ember threatened the two young cats.

"Or what?" Shard unsheathed her claws and advanced him slowly. Ember felt a flicker of fear that soon erupted into a burning wildfire and Shard must've seen it in his eyes. "Oh, did little weak Ember let his big fat mouth get the better of him?" Shard tipped her head slightly and let out a cold laugh that sounded just like her father's.

"Get off our territory!" A black tom hurled himself at the frightened Ember. "Don't hurt me!" Ember shrieked and crouched in submission in front of the huge tom. The black tom's eyes softened slightly. "What is your name?" His deep voice meowed. "E-e-ember." The dark grey tabby tom stuttered.

"Oh Night, are you scaring this poor kit?" A silver she-cat bounded lightly out of the brush. "Shatter?" Ember looked hopefully at the silver tabby, his eyes gleaming with hope. "Shatter? Who's that? My name is Luna."Ember frowned. "Shatter's my sister, you look just like her though." Ember replied sighing.

Night turned to glare at Luna "I thought you said we aren't accepting anymore rogues!" Luna returned the glare. "Yes but look at him! He has the making of a fighter, he will be a good deputy for Nightclan." Ember frowned. "What is Nightclan?"

"Shut up!" Ember roared and launched himself at Shard. Shard dodged easily and sank her fore-claws into Ember's side and slammed him forcefully into a tree. "Luna!" Ember shrieked for his friend in pain and desperation. "Your friend can't help you now!" Shard bared her fangs and sank her teeth into Ember's neck.

"Ember!" A silver she-cat bounded towards Shard and knocked her off of Ember.

"Luna..." Ember hacked out blood. "Tell, tell Rain." Luna's eyes blazed with desperation as she yowled at someone to get herbs. "It's too late for me, just tell Rain I love her." Ember's head fell limply to the ground and his blue eyes glazed over slowly.

"No!" A speckled blue she-cat charged into the clearing. "Ember! Stay with me!" The cat who Shard believed to be Rain crouched over Ember's body wailing.

"Shard." Luna's cold eyes burned into Shard's. "I declare war on Bloodclan!" Luna screeched in fury and grief.

Shard glanced at Flicker and together they bounded away from the bloody battle field, Luna's words echoing in her ears.

Me: SPARTAAAAAA!

Flicker: Calm down.

Me: SPARTAAAAAA!

Shard: Well, there's war now, Ember's dead. Shatter and Luna look a lot alike, and Shatd doesn't like Bone.

Me: SPARTAAAAAA!

Bone: But I'm so, likable!

Me: SPARTAAAAAA!

Luna: Shut up Bone, and good summary Shard.

Me: SPARTAAAAAA!

Shard: Thank you Luna, and review!

Me: SPARTAAAAAA!
