This is a chapter different from what I've been doing, we skip to dusk of this day when Silvershadow and Nightclan attack Eclipsestar. I'm going to try this in first person from Silvershadow's POV. The first paragraph is like, the intro but then the rest of the chapter is like patches of what's happening during the big fight. Also, there is a quick change of POV from Silvershadow to Alohastar due to events in which you'll see.

Because I Am Sorry

(Silvershadow)

"Glare, go and get Nightclan. Rainfall, get the others." Swift instructions rang through the air, making the two cats dash off. "Silvershadow." I turned around. "Why are you doing this?" I was looking into the amber eyes of Blazewhisker. "Because I am sorry."

The fighting began as soon as Nightclan arrived. "Why did you do this?" Bladestorm was next to me, matching my fighting paw to paw as we fought Turtle. As Turtle retreated with a yowl I turned to face him. "Because I am sorry."

I started to fight solo, raking my long claws across Lightfire's face. "What!? You traitor, why are you attacking Eclipseclan!?" I growled, leaping and sinking my teeth into Lightfire's already injured flank, making him scream. As he raced away I called to him "Because I am sorry."

"Silvershadow, go help Sorrelcloud, I can hold him!" Quillstorm yowled at me, we had been fighting together, trying to defeat Longshadow. I spun around and dashed off to help the younger tortoiseshell. Sorrelcloud was pinned underneath Darkfang's large merciless claws but I charged at the black tom and threw him off Sorrecloud. I sank my teeth into his neck, my fore-claw's ripping through the skin on his back. When he screamed for mercy I let him go, and as he ran Sorrelcloud looked at me. I looked back, meeting her green eyes with my blue ones. "Why?" She asked. "Because I am sorry."

You!" Eclipsestar leapt at me, and I met her claws with my own. We slashed, rolled, knwoing each other so well that the fight was a stalemate. I felt myself weakening and then I found myself underneath her claws, having her long sharpened teeth in my throat. But Ivoryheart leapt to my rescue, knocking the grey and black she-cat off me. Eclipsestar just narrowed her eyes and charged into the fray. "That was a close one. Why do you risk your life for this? I mean, you were her deputy." Ivoryheart looked at me, confusion in her eyes. "Because I am sorry."

Fight after fight after fight, it seemed like more cats kept coming. But then it was Eclipsestar and Alphastar fighting each other. Most of the other cats had stopped fighting to watch this, for everyone could tell that this was the heart of the battle. I stopped fighting Lightfire again, my tail flicking. Then I saw it, a second before it happened. Legend remembered that when Tigerstar and Scourge fought, Scourge had ripped Tigerstar, neck to tail, taking all of his nine lives. As Alphastar leapt, I knew what would happen. Just a heartbeat in time for me to change the fate of Nightclan and Eclipseclan. With a wild leap, I knocked Alphastar out of the way of the death move he was going to receive.

Alphastar's POV (Still first person)

I felt that my heart was set, this would be the killing move. I leapt, my claws outstretched but then I felt Silvershadow shoving me out of the way. I felt my heart go cold, I knew it. She betrayed me! She would kill me now. But what happened is something that I would never had guessed.

I remembered learning about Scourge and Tigerstar. As Eclipsestar tore her claws down Silvershadow I realized, that death was suppose to be for me. It seemed as if time had paused, just long enough for me to recover from my shock. My vision went red with anger, anger at Eclipsestar. This time the grey and black she-cat had no chance. I sank my teeth into her throat, raking my claws across her belly, and I could tell from Eclipsestar's eyes, we both knew that I had her in a death grip.

I don't exactly remember what happened to her. Once I thought I had finished Eclipsestar I dashed over to Silvershadow. It was obvious that she dying.

Silvershadow was on her side, blood spilling out of the long mortal wound. "Why?" I whispered softly. Her eyes met my golden ones. "Because I am sorry." Those were her last words, for after that her blue eyes went sightless, glazing over. I turned, and glanced over at Eclipsestar's body. "this is over!" I yowled over the din of fighting. All of the fighting ceased, and Lightfire glanced over at Eclipsestar's body. "She's dead! She's dead! Eclipseclan retreat!" He yowled, and leapt forward, grabbing Eclipsestar by the scruff and soon the clearing was empty of Eclipseclanners.

"We won." Bladestorm gasped, limping over to stand beside me. As we padded back home I learned of the deaths and injuries.

Goldenstone had died, and the clan mourned him. But I think he is happy to be with his beloved Stoneheart. Betaflame was also dead, and it made my heart ache. She was my sister. And finally, Birchpaw. Though I was able to name him Birchclaw before he died, in honor of his old name. Quillstorm didn't take that well, losing his best friend. I sighed.

I looked up into the night sky. "Alphastar." My deputy's voice was urgent. "What?" I looked at him. "Ivoryheart has had a miscarriage." I shot to my paws. "She was expecting?!" I asked, shocked. "Yes, nobody knew except Frostleaf. The battle," He meowed quickly, though his voice trailing off. "Is Robinfeather and Lionflame with her?" I demanded. "Of course, but Robinfeather is worried." Quillstorm was pacing, his tail lashing. Ivoryheart's screeches echoed around camp, and I saw Lionflame leave the nursery a couple of times to get herbs. Finally after what seemed like moons Lionflame appeared, this time carrying news. "A she-kit and a tom, and Ivoryheart is alright." The clan breathed a sigh of relief, and Quillstorm leapt into the nursery. I followed, sitting down in a corner. Nestled at the silver queen's belly was a small black she-kit and a dark grey tabby tom. Ivoryheart purred "Let's name them."

Quillheart nodded. "Let's name this one Stormkit." He meowed, stroking the little tom with his tail. "Then this will be Hailkit." Ivoryheart meowed, pointing to the black kit. I think I was the only one to feel this, but I felt that Hailkit was special. She had an aura, I can't really explain it. I twitched my ears and started to walk out. But Robinfeather stopped me. "There was a third. But he died." The tortoiseshell she-cat whispered to me. "His name was, Silverkit." I nodded and continued walking out. Silvershadow's last words echoed in my ears.

"Why?"

"Because I am sorry."
