"Intruders", Mudwhisker sprang to his feet and ran out of the den.

Rainstar hard on his paws, warriors ran to guard the nursery and the elders den.

All around the clearing cats claws were unsheathed and fur was bristling, Mudwhisker forced his way to the front of the he got there he found the cat who yoweld, it was Blizzardclaw, Blizzardclaw's tail was lashing and he was glaring at at something.

Mudwhisker peered over his shoulder, and his jaw almost dropped open, standing right in front of them was his mate Meadow and his two kits Nettle and Leaf.

Leaf and Nettle coward behind their mother, their eyes glazed with fear, Meadow glared at Blizzardclaw and shot Mudwhisker a urgent glance.

"What happened"? Asked Rainstar from behind Mudwhisker,

"We found this rogue and her two kits on our territory"Blizzardclaw spat still glaring at Meadow".

"We would not have come without a good reason" said Meadow now staring at Mudwhisker, she looked at him clearly confused.

He shot her a pleading look and turned to Rainstar, Rainstar looked at him and shook his head.

Blizzardclaw finally turned around and looked at Mudwhisker "are they yours he asked tilting his head toward the kits",

"Yes" Mudwhisker whispered in reply

Gasps of shock rose throughout the camp, Vinetail one of the queens and also his sister padded up to him

"I thought we told eachother everything" she whimpered her black pelt with white stripes brushed the grass as she went to stand next to her mate Blizzardclaw.

"It's against the Warrior code"rasped an elder named Waspclaw "He should be banished"

"No" he whimpered I can't leave this is my home.
