What?!
One sunny morning in greenleaf, Sunpaw was just happily waking up in the ThunderClan camp. She stumbled out of the apprentices' den upon standing up and basked in the sunlight, stretching her muscles.
"Good morning," her soon-to-be mate, Lionpaw, purred as he passed by.
"Good morning!" Sunpaw greeted him cheerily.
"See, that's what I like about you, Sunpaw," Lionpaw said suddenly. "You're always so happy and…. and sunny."
"I just find lots of things to be cheerful about!" Sunpaw mewed happily.
"Well, that's good. At least it shows that you're not depressed—unlike Ravenpaw!" Lionpaw meowed inquisitively.
The two of them shared a good laugh over that.
"I don't want to be like Ravenpaw, ever!" Sunpaw meowed, her eyes wide.
"Neither do I," Lionpaw laughed. "I—"
Suddenly, a ThunderClan warrior from the dawn patrol burst into the camp! His fur was bloody and he was panting hard.
"ShadowClan—attacked—at the border…."he panted. "Send…. help—right away."
"What?!" Sunpaw jumped up and gasped. "We just gave them some more territory!"
"They want more," Nightstorm explained wearily. "They think that we're weak; therefore, they want to take even more territory from us."
"Oh, no; that's terrible!" Sunpaw gasped.
"I know it is," Nightstorm agreed. "That's why we must fight to show our strengths."
Meanwhile, the leader, Cloudstar, was asking the warrior, Berryfoot, what had happened.
Berrynose explained easily enough:
"ShadowClan attacked…. there were only three of us on the dawn patrol; ShadowClan brought ten warriors…. we need to get back there! Fast!" he yowled.
"Right, then. I, Sunpaw, Lionpaw, Nighstorm, Birdwing, Mousefoot, Darkclaw, Onestripe, and Lightspots will go. Hurry!" Cloudstar yowled, racing out of the camp.
The warrior patrol raced through the forest. When they got to the site of the border dispute, Cloudstar stopped abruptly, digging his claws into the ground. The rest of the cats all bumped into him, and he almost fell over.
"WHAT?!" the leader yowled, staring at the scene in front of him.
There, in front of Cloudstar, were lying Ravenpaw and Chickenfoot, dead.
"This has gone beyond a border fight!" hissed Cloudstar, to two ShadowClan cats that were standing right in front of them. "You killed one of our warriors! ATTACK!"
"Attack!" hissed the ShadowClan leader, Flamestar, as he leaped forward.
About twenty warriors leaped forward with him. Sunpaw stopped and stared, eyes wide; and as her Clan died around her all she could think was, What?!
And then, she was attacked brutally by a ShadowClan warrior, and she died; unfortunately.
