The night was silent, only the sound of crickets could be heard. At least ten pairs of eyes appeared from the shadows, some green and some yellow. Then the forms of cats appeared from the trees and one of them leaped onto a boulder. The moon shone on his pelt, revealing that he was Shadowstar, king of NightClan.

"This is StormClan territory!" Wolfclaw growled.

"But soon it will be ours!" Shadowstar hissed. "Attack!"

Both clans leaped into battle. The StormClan cats dodged blows and leaped upon their enemies. They clawed and bit them, yowling furiously.

The air was filled with the sounds of battle and the scent of blood. Wolfclaw and Falconclaw attacked Shadowstar. The black tom spilled their blood and tore their fur and ears. But the two deputies did not give up. Falconclaw leaped onto the king's back and dug his claws into his shoulders. Shadowstar yowled in pain and fury. He rolled over and sprang back into his rock.

"You'll never kill me," he growled.

Falconclaw and Wolfclaw were tackled by two NightClan warriors. They fought furiously to get free. Wolfclaw slashed the warrior in the throat and while he was distracted he crawled out and spun around to face the NightClan tom.

Falconclaw tackled the cat who had attacked him and sank his fangs into his leg. The cat yowled and both the attackers retreated. StormClan was wining. NightClan cats were retreating back to their leader. Covered in blood and bruises.

Shadowstar's eyes widened. "NightClan retreat!" he yowled.

Then the NightClan cats sprinted back into the woods. With one final glare at Wolfclaw and Falconclaw, Shadowstar ran after them.
