Firestar roared outloud to the clan

"All cats who are old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the high rock for a clan meeting!"


squirrelflight walked out of the nursery. she was thankful that her kits, dandelionkit, alderkit, juniperkit and sparkkit, were all asleep in the den.

she gathered around the rock with the rest of the camp and sat beside leafpool, who sat beside jayfeather. her and leafpool exchanged a smile while her blind son gave her a flick of the ear to acknowledge her, his true attention was towards the surely no good news that the leader had to present.

" fellow clanmates, as you may have noticed, this newleaf has not been kind to us."

"no scat, mousebrain"

the antagonistic remark came from mousefur, an inhabitant of the elders den.

firestar took a glance at mousefur before starting up his speech again.

"our clan has been suffering this drought for the past moons, prey has been drifting farther and farther away from our territory. but aside from all of this to night at the gathering i will address this with the other leaders and hopefully we can-"

"Your going to what?!"


firestar was cut off from no other than lionblaze, his grandson.

"lionblaze, please try to understand..."

"no, we are Thunderclan firestar, Thunderclan! we are a separate clan from those of windclan or.. or shadowclan! we do not need help from them!"

brightheart, got up on her hackles and yelled back towards the burly tom.

" lionblaze you seem to misunderstand the fact that back in the old territory we together as all four clans fought bloodclan! and again when we had to travel to the new territory! are you saying that we should keep separate because of pride?!"

lionblaze back off from the older warrior, teeth still seething as bright heart quietly sat down over near cloudtail. 

"Firestar, my littermate has a point" the cat the voice came from walked out of the elders den, it was cinderpelt, the old medicine cat who retired shortly after being attack by a badger when they got to the new territory.

firestar repectfully bowed his head towards his old apprentice, and his most loyal medicine cat.

"of course cinderpelt, then it is agreed, we shall ask for help from the other clans tonight"


                                                                             ........................................

squirrelflight, despite wanting to have gone, stayed at the nursery. her mate, brambleclaw, said that he would," tell her all about it when he got back".

a yowl came from longtail, who stood outside the entrance to the clans.

"I...I smell... intruders!"

squirrelflight did not question the blind elder, his senses were still keen and right now they could be facing an attack.

it was only until firestar came from the entrance that things calmed down.

"longtail, its me... calm down"

firestar went over to the high rock, meanwhile other cats came from the entrance.

however these were not thunderclan, it was riverclan and windclan too! or well.. what was left of them....

"bramble.." squirrelflight walked over to brambleclaw.

" squirrelflight not now, firestar will explain in a moment. i promise"

another yowl came from the leader.


"you mind explaining this unexpected visit, firestar?" dustpelt glared at firestar.


" we had no other choice, their territories were taken over..."

"by what?"
berrynose mewed

" by... monsters...." leopardstar muttered, her expression blank with shock.

the clan erupted into chattering mews. confusion, shock and horror began to disapate between them.

"an entire territory wiped out? in an instant? impossible." muttered holly'leaf.

"they... they took nearly the entire clan" stated morning flower

" they took everybody!" yowled nightcloud who began to cry on the elders side.

squirrelflight couldnt belive it, entire clans almost wiped out? isnt that what they moved here to prevent?


" everyone! everyone calm down, if we are to survive as a clan, we have to unite and stand. brackenfur, dustpelt, cloudtail get all the cats organized. leafpool help all the injured cats. leopardstar, littlecloud and ashfoot your all coming with me."

                                                               .................................................

later on  over into the next three days, cats got situated and the dens got more cramped. the nursery especially since some poor scraps were left without a queen. squirrelflight couldnt handle how cramped it got in the nursery and had left later in the day to hopefully, catch some prey.

"no prey at the rocks, no prey over near the stream.... damn, is there anything around here?"

squirrelflight just about had it until.... she saw...it...

a thick, fat, plump squirrel munching on a some twoleg food. truly... it was a blessing from starclan.

the sight of the thing made her mouth water with the thought of eating it. surely it couldnt move that fast given how pump the darn thing was... right?


she was wrong

squirrelflight abandoned all her warrior hunter training in an instant, making her leap outright at the thing. thus starting the chase though the territory and leading over the thunderpath and to the twoleg place, squirrelflight didnt care thought, she just wanted the squirrel.

however she did care when the squirrel managed to scurry into a air vent inside the huge twoleg den causing squirrelflight to end her chase, and her hunger induced instinct.

she for a moment, yowled in fustration. "how could i loose such a plump squirrel as that? what am i some mouse brain? a real warrior i am..." squirrelflight muttered under her breath.

however... all was not lost on her as she turned her head over to the silver boulders nearby.

squirrelflight instantly reconized them from when she had to go on the great journey to the new territory with brambleclaw and feathertail. and with the reconization squirrelflight immediately knocked over on of the boulders, causing it to fall and dump the twoleg food out onto the floor.

squirrelflight ignored the warrior code, which stated that she should not eat before her clan. because frankly she didnt care at that moment, she was simply too hungry and too tired to care for a moment, the chase from the squirrel left her with barely enough energy to get back home, beside she would take something back.

if... she ever got back that is... because before she knew it...

"gotcha!" 

squirrelflight didnt even have time to react before the being enveloped into darkness, all she could do was yowl and claw in the dark.

it was however of no use...
