It's been a full two moons since my first encounter with the CryptClan cats, I've heard and seen nothing of the clan cats since then. Since then I've sparked a relationship with TangledTail, I love her dearly. She is currently in the medicine den with WrenSplash. I'm quite worried about her she has been complaining about her swolen abdomen and WrenSplash insisted on checking up on her. "ScorchingStar!" I was interrupted by WrenSplash trotting to me. "I think you may want to come to the medicine den now." She smiled, I tilted my head in confusion but followed her nonetheless. I was greeted by TangledTail, I nuzzled hee and rested beside her, "go ahead dear" WrenSplash chirped. My expression changed to confusion. "Scorch, I'm expecting" she spoke through her soft smile. I jumped up in excitement, licking her cheek. "That amazing!" I called out. I know we will have perfect kits. Yet I worried of the world they would grow up in, considering that we haven't heard of CryptClan improving, I assumed they were gathering up more warriors in preparation for an attack.

3 moons have passed

I smiled down to my two perfect logs who were now a moon old. I flicked my tail towards a group of other young kits playing by the nursery. I judge AshKit and DawnKit towards them. "Go have fun kits" I chirp. AshKit speaks to his sister "cmon let's go!"
AshKit was always very outgoing, his sister not so much. She was curious of what lies outside of the camp, never relaxed or willing to engage much with others.

TangledTail trots elegantly towards me, I smiled and nuzzle her lovingly. "Where are the kits dear?" She asks. "They are playing with the others outside the nursery." I purr in response. "I should go check on them dear" she meowed out before walking to them, her tail swaying from side to side.

Moments later I hear her cry out, I jump up, my fur standing on my back I dash over to her. "DawnKit! Where's dawnKit!" Dark thoughts cross my mind, I shook them away and began to search for her. "She must've left camp!" I call out. We leave AshKit with WrenSplash in the medicine den. We bound out of camp together only to find dawnRise standing a couple feet away from us, picking wildflowers. I sigh deeply, overjoyed that she was safe.

As i was about to walk to her I see a large hawk swoop down, taking her in his talons and soaring high into the altitude once again. I roar out "DawnKit!" I turn to my mate, seeing her frozen in fear, not saying a word, not moving. "Dad!!" I hear DawnKits final words to me as she cried out for help. I Yelp out to my mate, she was shocked back into reality and began crying, crouching down on the floor, her ears pinned to her head.

After awhile of my failed attempts to console TangedTail, we walked back to camp. Our heads hung low, I went directly to my den, I didn't want to talk to anyone.

The next morning my deputy, CricketSpark set border patrols, I decided to take a walk with them, to clear my head. I was still focused on the death of my daughter. I trot out of camp alongside a few other warriors.

Moments later we come across a few strange cats in the clearing, we crouch down, our tails lashing as we stalked towards them through the grass. Once close enough we stand up, the cats turn around to face us and I see, TwistedStar?. "What are you doing in my territory" I hiss in his face. "Scouting out my new territory, Bud." He replied. "Your new territory." I question, baring my sharp fangs. "Well considering we have the highest clan numbers in the area, we will be claiming more territory. This half of BrookClan should suffice," he paused.
"Yes,yes, the stream for catching fish, stalking hares in the tall grass and of course lots of space for running" he says with a smirk. I simply hiss in reply. "You will have to kill everyone of us before claiming my land." I hiss.
"Then so be it, this full moon. We will come for your territory. Bud." He speaks, then turn around and canter off, leaping back over the thinner part of the stream. I turn to the patrol. "Go back to camp, start training for a battle."
