Jayfeather was basking in the sun letting they rays soak his fur in warmth. It had been 5 moons since Moonpaw's accident and her wound had completely healed but left a long pink scar on her stomach. Jayfeather had nothing to do ever since Moonpaw left his den because all his clan mates were healthy and didn't need medical attention. ; So most sunny days Jayfeather just lay in the sun. From doing so he had gotten quite plump and moved slower. Just then Firestar emerged from his den with his mate Sandstorm. "Let all cats who can catch their own prey gather here for a clan meeting." Firestar yowled. Jayfeather sat up and faced Firestar. Once the clan gathered below Firestar he said, "We have three great apprentices that have proven themselves that they can be noble warriors. Moonpaw please step forward." Moonpaw now a tall, beautiful she-cat sauntered up to Firestar. "Moonpaw. You have shown your loyalty, hunting skills, and kindness. Lionblaze has taught you well. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of your life?" Firestar said. "I promise." Moonpaw vowed. "Then by the powers of Starclan I give you your warrior name. Moonpaw from this moment forward you will be known as Moonspirit. Starclan honors your bravery and kindness and welcomes you as a warrior of Thunderclan!" Firestar announced. "Moonspirit! Moonspirit! Moonspirit!" The clan chanted. This time Jayfeather did chant for he knew that she was Halfmoon his lost mate from long ago. Cherrypaw and Molepaw got their warrior names after Moonspirit, which was Cherrypelt Molefoot. They all sat down next to the entrance for their vigil. Moonspirit was pressed up against Molefoot lovingly. Jayfeather wanted to hiss at the stupid tom and say, "She is mine!" but he knew that he couldn't. Jayfeather decided to go on a stroll through the territory since it was still light out. He walked near the Shadowclan border heading towards the lake. Suddenly he felt a rush of Shadowclan scent. He checked around him to make sure he was still on Thunderclan territory and he realized that the border was still like ten feet away from him. He followed the strong scent, which headed toward the lake. Then he scented four Shadowclan warriors and he could hear them running around by the lake. He ran back to camp where Moonspirit, Cherrypelt, and Molefoot jumped up in surprise as Jayfeather flew through the entrance. He ran up to Firestar's den and yowled, "Firestar there is a patrol of Shadowclan on out territory." Firestar sat up and blinked at him. "Did you see who they were?" Firestar asked. "I am sorry Firestar I don't have the ability to do that." He grumbled and pointed to his eyes with his paw. "Right… Well I'll send out a patrol immediately. Thanks for your help Jayfeather." Firestar said. Jayfeather nodded and exited the den. Firestar went and woke up Brambleclaw and they spoke in quiet mews. Jayfeather managed to catch some words like, "Battle, and patrol" Brambleclaw went and fetched Lionblaze, and Dovewing who were reluctant to leave their warm nests. Brambleclaw also told Cherrypelt, Molefoot, and Moonspirit to join the patrol. Firestar lead the patrol with the other warriors behind him. Jayfeather followed behind the patrol just in case someone gets hurt. Jayfeather hid behind a bramble on the shore of the lake. Firestar looked down the shore and confirmed, "Yes there are Shadowclan warriors on our territory." He squinted and then said, "Tigerheart, Crowfrost, Ratscar, and Tawnypelt." Dovewing winced when he said that one of the cats was Tigerheart but Jayfeather didn't know why. Brambleclaw looked at his sister in sadness; he didn't want to fight her. He could tell that Moonspirit was afraid of Ratscar after the injury he caused her to have. The patrol ran out to the Shadowclan warriors. "Well if it isn't a group of plump kittypets" Crowfrost snorted. Lionblaze fluffed up and hissed. "What are you doing on our territory?" Firestar growled. "Go ahead act tough, Shadowclan isn't scared of little, weak, kittypets." Ratscar sneered. Brambleclaw sauntered up to Ratscar and said, "Oh yeah?" Then he struck Ratscar across the face. Crowfrost leaped onto Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt leaped between them. "Stop! Stop! We don't have to fight!" she yelped. "Enough Tawnypelt! You're just protecting your brother. Be loyal to your clan!" Crowfrost growled. Tawnypelt was about to strike Brambleclaw when Lionblaze ran across the shore and brought Tawnypelt down. "You have Thunderclan blood. Yet you are loyal to another clan that makes you hurt your own family. You could have chosen a better life but you chose Shadowclan over your own clan." Lionblaze hissed. Tawnypelt started to cry and threw Lionblaze off. Lionblaze flew backwards and landed on his huge paws with thud. Moonspirit went up to Ratscar and growled, "You may have hurt me once but I'll hurt you even more." She leaped onto Ratscar and raked her claws along his exposed belly. Firestar jumped on Crowfrost who screeched loudly as the leader landed on him. Brambleclaw glared at his sister and hissed, "You will never be my sister and I will never be your brother." Tawnypelt wailed and Brambleclaw leaped onto his sister. Firestar started to Help Brambleclaw because Tawnwypelt had Brambleclaw pinned to the ground. Molefoot raked his claws down Crowfrost's back. Crowfrost whipped around and pinned Molefoot on the ground. Molefoot shoved the black and white tom off. Crowfrost landed on his paws and charged up to Molefoot and grabbed him by the scruff and hurtled him across the shore. He landed with a crunch but this time he didn't get up. Jayfeather sensed his pain but he couldn't just strut out there just to be killed by warriors. Moonspirit raced up to Molefoot. "Molefoot? Come on get up!" She wailed. "Starclan please don't take him!" she pleaded with her head tipped up to the stars. Dovewing and Ratscar were tussling on the ground and Lionblaze had Crowfrost pinned to the shore. Firestar was still fighting Tawnypelt who still had tears streaming down her face. Jayfeather heard yowling but it was coming from behind him. Just then a Thunderclan and a Shadowclan patrol came out of the brambles. The Thunderclan patrol consisted of Thornclaw, Graystripe, Bumblestripe, Blossomfall, and Toadstep. The Shadowclan patrol was Owlclaw, Dawnpelt, Scorchfur, Applefur, and Oakfur. They were all fighting each other blood all over their pelts. Jayfeather knew he must go tell the others so he ran back to the shore. Dovewing was walking toward him then collapsed and Brambleclaw was trying to get Molefoot's limp body onto his back. Moonspirit was walking alongside him sadly with tears flowing down her face. Lionblaze got Dovewing on his bloody back with ease. Firestar lead his patrol toward Jayfeather slowly. Each cat was bloody, wounded (other than Lionblaze ), and exhausted. "The patrol we were fighting retreated back into their camp." Firestar explained. "There is another Shadowclan patrol a Thunderclan patrol was coming to our aide when they found the Shadowclan patrol and they are fighting!" Jayfeather told Firestar. He sighed and said, "Brambleclaw take Molefoot back to camp. Lionblaze give Dovewing to Jayfeather. Everyone else let's go help that patrol. Lionblaze laid Dovewing onto Jayfeather's back. Then Firestar, Lionblaze, and Moonspirit dashed to where the other patrols were. Brambleclaw and Jayfeather hurried back to camp and laid the two warriors down in his den. After inspecting Dovewing he realized that she had just fainted so he put Molefoot as his first priority. Brightheart fixed up Dovewing while Jayfeather inspected Molefoot. He was breathing shallowly and he had a broken forepaw. He had long deep scratches that were bleeding heavily. He wrapped up his gashes with cobwebs and also wrapped up his broken paw. After he was done he gave him a poppy seed. Jayfeather started to massage his chest to help him breathe better and to get down the poppy seed. Moonspirit stayed next to Molefoot every day and every night except for when she had to do her warrior duties. After a few days Molefoot slowly got better but he still stayed in his nest due to his broken paw. "He will be fine Moonspirit. You don't have to be next to him every waking moment of the day." Jayfeather told Moonspirit. "But you don't understand Jayfeather..." She murmured. She looked down at Molefoot, her eyes twinkling. "What?" Jayfeather asked. "I love him" she answered. It took those three words to break Jayfeather`s heart.
