Berryfrost happily skipped across camp, humming a merry tune. He was going to check on Cherryleap's kits- Iciclekit, Oakkit, and Flutterkit. Pretty names for three pretty kits, He thought cheerfully. His heart ached as he thought of the life he and Batwing could have had. We could have been so happy if it weren't for Snaketooth and his gang. His eyes blazed with anger. But, Snaketooth finally got what he deserved. He reminded himself. The ferns outside the camp entrance rustled, and a familiar smell reached his nose. His fur bristled. The rogues!

"Are you the leader?" A tom mewed. Berryfrost guessed he was the leader of his group.

"I'm... filling in for her."

"Can you let my son stay here?" He asked, looking at a small black cat with one blue eye and one orange eye. "His name is Shark."

"Why... Why are you giving him up?"

"My group has targeted me and my sons because of your victory. Tiny can manage well, but Shark..." He looked down, his fur bristling. "He's just a kit."

"Of course." Berryfrost's gaze softened. Maybe this kit could be his and Batwing's... His heart swelled with love and pride. He would take this kit as his own. "Thank you."

"May I join as well?"

"No." He flicked an ear, "Birchstripe, escort this rogue off our territory."

The tom's eyes widened, "I changed my mind! Give him back!" He shrieked. Birchstripe's ears flattened against his head.

"Shut up!"

Berryfrost's whiskers twitched with amusement. He took Shark over to Berrypelt. "Here. Kit."

"Thanks." She grunted. "Yours?"

"Yup."

"With who?"

"Nobody. I adopted him. He's mine and Batwing's." he added proudly.

"Great. Congratulations." She took the tiny kit and allowed it to suckle on her chest. She had been taking borage every day, serving the clan by taking any kits under her wing despite never having a mate or kits. Berryfrost blinked at her gratefully before turning, swishing his tail. Hollystar had allowed him to serve as temporary leader due to his success at the battle. A pawful of rogue cats joined his clan- Weepingrose, Rainpaw, Thunderclouds, Sunflowerseed, and Dizzypaw. The other cats had died or stayed with Shade. His chest puffed with pride.

The darkness has gone. The clans are safe!

His gut told him the opposite however, but he ignored it. How can the clans fight if Snaketooth is dead? He was the one who started everything.
