The open field was a welcoming sight to Carrie, she was mesmerized by the moon's white shade. The trees's leaves shuffled against the wind.
"It's you."
Carrie looked down and saw a huge dark brown tabby that bared many scars and yellow teeth.
"Can I help you?" Carrie felt small facing this huge cat. She refused to show her fear and puffed out her chest.
"You need to relearn everything you were taught in your last life." the huge cat snarled.
"Relearn? Last life?" now Carrie was really scared.
"Yes, I can't tell you who you were, but I can help you. Believe me, you need it." the huge cat muttered.
"OK? But what is your name?" Carrie asked.
"My name...is Tigerstar."
"SHADOWCLAN!"
"Wha? What's happening?"
Carrie felt her friend Larry move away from her. Half asleep, she tried to pull him back.
"No, cuddle with me forever..." Carrie said groggily. She whimpered when she felt Larry's touch gone.
"INVASION!"
"What?!" Carrie jumped and hit Kim in the eye.
"Ow!" Kim ran behind Konnie. Carrie shook her head and looked up.
Suddenly, her head ached. She collapsed.
"Carrie?" Larry cried.
She was no longer with Larry. She saw a different territory.
A voice spoke. Saying: "Old ThunderClan Camp..."
Carrie was about to speak back, but a paw smacked her face.
"ShadowClan!" a slender brown she-cat cried.
"Pumastar!" a young she-cat cried. "What do we do?!"
"Pumastar?" Carrie whispered. "Am I in the past?"
"Shut up and fight you coward!" her opponent hissed.
Carrie turned around and hissed. But her mind was whirling with all sorts of battle moves she suddenly gained knowledge of.
Carrie snarled and ran under the cat's belly, she dug her claws into his legs. The cat cried out and jumped away.
She felt unstoppable.
She leaped farther into the fray, clawing and jumping with perfection. Soon enough, the cats ran off.
The slender brown she-cat named Pumastar came up to her.
"Duskfeather's teaching has really paid off, I am proud of you. You'll make a great warrior." Pumastar purred.
Carrie felt pride as Pumastar bent down and licked her head.
You'll make a great warrior...
"Carrie? Carrie?!" Larry cried out. Carrie got up and unsheathed her claws.
"BATTLE, YES!" she charged into the battle. "LEAVE NO ONE!"
Carrie felt ready to take them on, but not without her best friend. She quickly ran back.
"Come fight with me Larry!" Carrie grabbed Larry's scruff with her teeth and pulled him into the battle.
She felt him hyperventilating in her jaws as she dragged him.
"C'mon Larry! This'll be fun!" Carrie purred. "I promise."
Carrie felt claws sink into her shoulder. She turned and saw a white she-cat with black splotches.
Carrie growled and slammed her paw into the cat's skull. The cat yowled and fell unconscious. Carrie smirked.
Time to finish the job
Carrie sank her teeth into the cat's throat. A black tom that was fighting Bramblestar stopped.
"MY APPRENTICE!" the black tom ran to her and padded her body with his paw.
She was dead.
"YOU MONSTER!" the black tom yowled. He charged at Carrie, his yellow eyes gleaming with anger.
Larry came from behind and bit his tail as hard as he could.
The black tom yowled and turned to face Larry. Carrie smiled and jumped onto the black tom's back, balancing on him with her claws. Larry(given his very small size) easily ran under the black tom's belly and kicked his hind claws at it. The black tom yowled with pain.
"This is what you get for messing with ThunderClan!" Carrie dug her front claws into the black tom's ears and laughed in them as she tore them up.
"BRAMBLESTAR!" Snowfall shouted. "Three ShadowClan cats are attacking Ivypool and two of the apprentices!"
"HELP ME!" Squirrelflight yelled at Bramblestar. She was cornered by two toms.
Bramblestar froze and stared at Squirrelflight and then back at Snowfall.
He's conflicted! I have to help!
"LARRY! FOLLOW ME!" Carrie cried. She ran out of the camp, following Snowfall. Stormcloud fell in beside her.
"You're pretty good at this." he purred. "What's your secret?"
Why would he flirt with me now?!
"Shut up and help us fight!" Carrie hissed. Larry sent Stormcloud a glare.
Carrie stopped and saw not only Ivypool being cornered, but Corey and Laney as well.
Darn-it! I have to save them too!
Carrie and Larry saw Snowfall and Stormcloud take them head on. They looked at each other and ran to Ivypool.
"We'll help you get her back to camp!" Carrie said in Laney's ear.
"Thank you!" Laney replied. Larry sighed and reluctantly helped an injured Corey up.
The five of them managed to make it back. Carrie froze when she saw the black tom leading a white she-cat to the corpse.
"MY DAUGHTER!" the white she-cat wailed. "Crowfrost, how could you let this happen?!"
"She killed her, Snowbird!" Crowfrost snarled, looking at Carrie. Carrie's heart dropped.
Crap!
Snowbird pounced and pinned Carrie.
"CARRIE!" the rest of the Newmans gasped. They ran to help her.
Corey looked at Crowfrost.
"HEY! Your're the one who threw me in the bushes!" Corey snapped. "You'll pay for that!"
Corey and Laney charged at Crowfrost. Bramblestar pinned his apprentice and Whitewing walked in front of her's.
"Let us give him what he deserves!" Laney growled. "He hurt Soulpaw!"
"The battle is done." Bramblestar growled. "Leave, Crowfrost. Take Mintpaw's body with you."
"Molewhisker is dead too..." Kon whispered. Crowfrost snarled and left.
Leafpool and Jayfeather ran out of the medicine cat's den with jaws full of herbs. Bramblestar stepped off Corey.
"Your eyes tell me you were involved with ShadowClan's ambush." Bramblestar snarled.
Corey looked down and a tear fell down his cheek.
"I'm sorry, I was out playing in the forest." Corey whimpered. Laney stared at Corey with love and sympathy and walked up to him.
"I'm sure he didn't mean it!" Laney protested.
"He started the battle, Skypaw killed Mintpaw...they both broke the warrior code." Bramblestar hissed. "They're both getting punished!"
