With a sigh, Splashflight trotted out of the elders den. Saptail is hopeless. And Firepool... well, he was kinda useless. She needed to find Goldenflow. Oh, wait. She's probably dead. And Splashflight didn't want to visit the Dark Forest. Maybe StarClan was wrong: maybe Goldenflow did kill Mothstar. Why me? Splashflight complained. Why not Waterstar? Or Rushingwater? Or the senior warriors? But no, they had to pick a newly made warrior that just wanted a normal life. Typical StarClan.

"Pssst."

Splashflight stopped in the middle of the clearing. Then she spotted Fluffheart in a bramble bush.

"What in StarClan are you doing in there?" Splashflight questioned.

"I wanted to tell you something. Can you keep an eye on Puffertail?"

"Puffertail? Why?"

"He's been acting strange," Fluffheart explained. "He keeps bringing in a ton of prey at dusk. More than all the hunting patrols altogether. He says that he's just a great hunter, but I think there's more to it."

"And why do I have to do this?"

"Well, because..." Fluffheart trailed off uncertainly.

"It's alright. I'll keep an eye on him. You should relax." Splashflight mewed.

"Thank you. This means a lot to me."

"And me too," Splashflight retorted. "He's my brother too."

The two siblings nodded to each other and went separate ways.

...

Duskclaw's snoring woke Splashflight up. She blinked sleepily at the darkness. Suddenly, she heard a cat get up from its nest. Splashflight perked her ears up. The cat silently creeped out of the warriors den. Splashflight followed after it.

She realized who it was after she got a good look at it. It was Puffertail! What was he doing in the middle of the night? Probably nothing good.

Puffertail was heading towards the ShadowClan border. What in StarClan is he doing? Splashflight asked herself.

A few moments later, Puffertail stopped and dropped something out of his mouth. They had arrived at the border: ShadowClan scent was strong. Too strong. There are cats somewhere!

To Splashflight's shock, two ShadowClan cats came from the other side of the border. One was a white she-cat with dazzling green eyes, while the other one was a tom that had a black pelt that blended in the darkness and his blue eyes shimmered.

Puffertail dipped his head. "Cloudsky, Darkfall."

Cloudsky narrowed her green eyes. "Did you do it?"

Do what?

"Yes, I did." Puffertail mewed proudly.

"Proof." Was all Darkfall said.

Puffertail let out a growl but picked up some fox fur and a cat's fur. Streamfrost's fur! What had Puffertail done?

Darkfall and Cloudsky nodded approvingly. "Good. Cloudsky will bring you prey after the gathering." Darkfall meowed before he and Cloudsky left.

Wait, it all makes sense. Puffertail has been doing things for the ShadowClan cats in exchange for a lot of prey! But why do ShadowClan cats care about what happens in RiverClan? But I could spy on them. The gathering's tomorrow.

...

"The cats going to the gathering are Fishpelt, Streamfrost, Splashflight, Fluffheart, Puffertail, and Duskclaw. We will be leaving immediately."

Waterstar jumped off the willow tree and patted out of camp with the patrol right behind him. Rushingwater was also with them, and Thornwillow as well. Luckily, Streamfrost had recovered right before the gathering, but Rushingwater still told her to stay out of trouble.

"We're the last ones to arrive!" Streamfrost exclaimed In disbelief as they jumped onto the log. Splashflight scented the air. WindClan, ShadowClan, and ThunderClan scent was at the island already. By the time the whole patrol got to the island, the other Clans were murmuring impatiently.

"Finally! Did their fat bodies slow them down?"

"RiverClan is always last!"

"Maybe they have better things to do."

The whispers surrounded Splashflight as she sat next to her sister. "You know, ever since I got attacked by that fox, I've been getting bellyaches every day now." Streamfrost mewed. "I've been getting chervil from Rushingwater but they keep coming back. I don't know what to do."

Splashflight froze. A very, very, bad thought popped into her head right that moment. What if... Puffertail had mated with her sister!?
