Excitement pricked at Mosswhiskers paws as he padded silently through the undergrowth. The lean tabby flicked his ears, straining them to listen for any signs of the patrols he knew were up ahead. He hadn't actually been chosen to go with them, but that didn't matter. His plan was to simply follow behind them, only making his presence known when they needed another fighting force.
As Maplepaw bended down to pick up Copperpaw Copperpaw arched her back and exploded upwards. Her claws hooked around her thought and she drew blood. Maplepaw screeched and unsheathed her claws quickly, swiping at her face. Copperpaw felt claws slicing at her face and she stabbed a paw into Maplepaws belly. Maplepaw screamed and bit into Copperpaws ear, tearing the tip off. Copperpaws howl echoed through the forest and she sprang up ready to fight again but Dustpelt slammed his whole body into her, knocking her out.
Leafpaw streaked into camp, "ATTACK ATTACK ON THE BORDER IT'S SHADOWCLAN!!!" She screamed into the camp. Oaktail shot out of the den "Wha?" She asked. Stormstar quickly hurried out to gather warriors.
Dustpelt heard the cry from Thunderclan camp, "They know!" He hissed.
"Who was there?" Asked Stormstar to a panicked Leafpaw. "(# of Shadowclan warriors) and... Thundershadow." Stormstar stood in shock. "We have been betrayed!" He roared to Greywing.
Thundershadow ran In. "I was out and heard them. Leafpaw just panicked, you know how she is." she said stammering. "They're coming though. Two groups."
Foxfang ran out of the den and prepared to fight.
Iceclaw look ed at her "my apprentice doesn't lie" he hissed at Thundershadow "and everyone knows you are a Rouge and you've a lays been close to shadow clan.
Leafpaw glared at Thundershadow, she was telling everyone she was weak! She sprang up with a snarl, higher than ever and landed on Thundershadows back, digging in her claws and screeching with fury.
Stormstar ran forward to stop the fighting but halted. He had never seen the apprentice fight so hard! He backed away and signalled for Iceclaw to only join if Leafpaws life or Thundershadows life was threatened. Thus was their fight.
Oaktail ran forward to help but Stormstar held her back.
Maplepaw returned to camp with Copperpaw in her jaws. She laid her next to Bloodstar, "We found her following Thundershadow, fought like a warrior!"
Mosswhisker paused, testing the air for Shadowclan. He caught it almost immediately, with the faint scent of Thunderclan as he drew nearer to the boundary. A snarl curled his upper lip. The sooner Thunderclan were finished, the better.
