"Hi! You know how the band of rouges took over Thunderclan. Well... Um, there are more than you think... Some just took over Shadowclan..." Frostbite heard Nightfires cheery meow.

"And you're happy about that?"

"No, but I have a naturally cheery voice!" She meowed perkily. "and I sound extremely evil in a low voice, I hate my low voice." She mewed non perkily as an example.

"I see... May I ask who you are?" Treestar responded.

"Oh I'm Nightfire! I knew Thunderclan was here and I'm friends with Frostbite, and Skycloud. I knew they'd help."

Treestar turned towards Skycloud and Frostbite.

"Do you know her?"

I know that I should say yes, but I want to say no.

Luckily Skycloud answered for her.

"Yes."

"Well right now we might all die, so... If you want to live, you'd leave." He meowed eyeing up her half a leg.

Nightfires cheerfulness and kindness turned to fury.

"You think that I can't defend myself, don't you?" She screeched.

Frostbite struggled to get up, but managed to anyways. She limped in front of Treestar, protecting him just in case.

"Nightfire, that's not what he meant. What he was trying to say is that there are going to be a lot of cats trying to kill us-"

"I can still defend myself." She growled. "I've done it before. Now when will they get here?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because I'm staying."

"Who gave you permission?"

"My friends are in danger, I'm staying whether you want me to or not."

Treestar growled and turned away from her.

"They'll be here at Moonhigh." Fallenstar meowed.

Nightfire dipped her head in response and sat down by Skycloud, Frostbite following her. Nightfire turned and helped Skycloud sit up. They sat there and waited. Soon they heard battle cries coming from the leaders den. The medicine den was next.

Moments later, Squirrelclaw stepped into the den. Frostbite glared at him and barred her teeth letting out a low growl. She stepped in front of Skycloud and sat down.

"Why hello there, Frostbite." He spit out her name. He padded over to her slowly.

Don't move, until he tries to kill you.

Who said that? They didn't speak out loud... Amberpaw must be near!

I'm behind you but outside the den. It's Amberlight, now.

Oh. Okay.

When Frostbite was paying attention again, she saw Squirrelclaw lifting his paw to her throat with his claws unsheathed. None of the others would move either, they were waiting for the signal from Frostbite. By now the other four cats were in the den waiting for them to make the first move.

Frostbite twitched her tail tip, One... Two... Three times. She rolled out of the way and got up imedeatly. She turned around and jumped on Squirrelclaws back, before he could attack Skycloud. Once she had Squirrelclaw pinned, she saw a huge gray tabby attacking Skybound. She bit down on Squirrelclaws paws, so that it would be painful to unsheathe his claws. She ran over to help Skybound while Nightfire attacked Squirrelclaw.

Frostbite slammed her body into the tabbys side, leaving a pain shuttering through her.

I need to use my mouth, it's the least painful. No running, no scratching, only biting. It will be dangerous but worth the risk.

She opened her jaws and clamped down hard on his tail. He yowled in fury and turned on her. He pinned her down and held a paw on her throat, so she can't bite him again. His tail slowly turned ugly from the frostbite but he didn't seem to care. Out of the shadows another cat, jumped on his back. Frostbites vision was blurry and she couldn't tell who it was. She only hears his voice.

"Amberlight, get Frostbite and Skycloud out of here!" She heard Emberstream meow.

She heard a high pitched yowl and more cats enter the den, Skyclan cats. Where are the Thunderclan cats that were supposed to come? Before she can see if they are there, she is being hauled out of the medicine den.

When she wakes up, she is in a clearing with Skycloud hovering over her.

"Will she be okay?" He asked.

"She's just in pure shock, nothing thyme can't cure." Echomoons assuring voice sounded.

"Okay, I trust you."

"She will be fine, just go sleep, Skycloud!" Nightfire snapped.

"Fine... Have it your way." Skycloud growled.

"Fine stay, but I don't want to hear you complaining!"

Frostbite blinked open her eyes and looked up at Skycloud, who was looking to the side.

"Don't... Don't fight... Please." Frostbite muttered.

Skycloud looked down at Frostbite and Nightfire came running over, along with Emberstream, Amberlight and Fallenstar.

"Frostbite... I'm sorry." Skycloud meowed quietly.

"For what?"

"I couldn't keep Squirrelclaw from getting up. He's still after you."

"I'm just glad you're okay. Squirrelclaw doesn't matter."

"I just wish I could rip his throat out."

"Skycloud, don't be silly. You can pin him down while I do that!" She purred.

Skycloud's eyes lit up with amusement as he purred. He layed down and curled into Frostbites side. Frostbite layed her head on his side and fell fast asleep.

When she woke up in the morning, Skycloud wasn't there. Her blurry vision was back so she wouldn't risk walking. She glanced around and saw that nobody was near. She could see kits at the edge of the clearing, but they couldn't help her.

Then, Squirrelclaw entered the camp, and nobody cared. He walked up to her noncalantly, he bent his head next to her ear.

"This is revenge for you killing my mate."

"I-I didn't kill your mate."

"So Willow isn't your mother?"

"I don't know my mother."

"She was heading to me before she died!"

"I didn't know."

"Well now I get my revenge."

He lifted his paw, claws unsheathed. He slammed his paw down, towards her throat.

Frostbite woke up, for real this time. Her heart was racing and she looked around quickly. Skycloud who was at the edge of the clearing, ran over to her.

"Frostbite are you okay?" He asked.

Frostbite tried to talk but no sound came.

"Echomoon! Skybound! What's wrong with her?"

"Skycloud she probably had a bad dream, it's just panic. We'll check her out anyways."

Yes I'm panicking! I was almost killed in my dream!

Frostbite calm down... Nobody can get to you here...

He tried to kill me!

You were just dreaming. Slow your heart.

Okay.

Frosbite started breathing slower and slower until it was normal. She looked around, until her eyes met with Skycloud's.

"I'm... Okay." She breathed.

"Good." Skycloud responded.

"Can you help me up?"

Skycloud nodded his head and walked closer. He grabbed her scruff as she pushed herself up. He supported her as they walked to the edge of the clearing. When they got to the edge, they sat down.

"What happened to you over there?" Skycloud asked.

"I had a bad dream." Frostbite confessed.

"Would you like to tell me what it was about?"

"I woke up and only kits were here, then Squirrelclaw came and nobody cared and... And.. And he tried to kill me."

"Frostbite, I wouldn't leave unless I told you first, and if I did leave, it would be only to go hunting."

"I know."

Skycloud helped Frostbite up and brought her to a nest, that wasn't out in the open. He rearranged it so that she was comfortable.

"Get some more rest. You must still be tired." Skycloud meowed.

"Thank you."
