"Hollyleaf!" yelled Bramblestar. "You're a ThunderClan cat! Why are you betraying us?" he raced to defend the camp from the WindClan warriors, Sandstorm following.
"Oh, that's not all." said a deep voice.
Starlight looked up at the top of the ravine again where Hollyleaf was standing. Another cat had padded up beside her. Starlight recognized the talon-like claws and broad, tabby shoulders from the elder's stories. It was Tigerstar.
"Great Starclan! Its-its Tigerstar!" she breathed. "What do we do?"
"We stand, and fight." said Thornclaw, and he leaped at Hollyleaf. Starlight watched as he reached Hollyleaf. The black she-cat dodged out of the way, and pushed Thornclaw over the cliff edge. Starlight looked away as he landed.
"You… you killed him!" exclaimed Lakepool with anger. "He was a good cat, and you killed him!" She climbed up the cliff-face, finding impossible footholds to use. She leapt at Hollyleaf, but the black cat dodged, and Lakepool tumbled into Tigerstar. He rolled down the other, gentler side of the cliff face, and was attacked by Jadefall and Starlight. Starlight slashed his throat, and he went limp and faded from view, leaving behind only blood stains
"You killed Tigerstar!" yowled Bramblestar. He was amazed. "You really must be special!"
Starlight was happy, but it was ruined as she saw Hollyleaf tackle Bramblestar and drag him away.
"Hurry! We have to save him!" Starlight screeched, and chased after Hollyleaf, into the forest.
