She was a HurricaneClan warrior, it was the best Clan ever if you asked her. HurricaneClan is the Clan that lives near the lake, part of our territory is around it but the rest of it belongs to the twolegs and their twoleg place around part of the lake. But we have beautiful territory! The other Clans had to be jealous. HurricaneClan camp is located nearby a river that leads down into the lake in our territory. Normally it would be a rather peaceful camp, but not today... Today a raging battle is going on inside our camp.

The white and brown legged she-cat raced through the battling camp, she glanced back at different fighting warriors, none of them looked as if they needed her help, though they were risking everything to help her. The she-cats head snapped around as she heard a horribly familiar screech and she was tackled to the ground, her attacked slammed her down and held her pinned, the white and brown legged she-cat let out a growl, digging her claws into the ground as the familiar scent flooded her scent glands. 

"You thought you wouldn't get caught, Birdclaw?" Birdclaw glanced up at the brown and cream she-cat, their light orange silted eyes glaring down at her. "You may have been able to run for a while... But one can't always escape their past..." the brown she-cat started to monologue. Birdclaw rolled her eyes, she would be here for a bit, she just had to put up with the scolding and find her chance to fight back. "I thought you knew better Birdclaw. You were one of my best warriors, but you chose your HurricaneClan mate over your birth Clan..."

"Birdclaw... You know perfectly well I don't tolerate traitors in LarkClan. Your little allies in LarkClan did put up a fight when we found out you had your friends spy for you." Birdclaw stiffened. How did Mimicstar find out? Birdclaw thought, her eyes widening. We were so careful, everything careful thought out, how did we screw it up?

"They're gone now, we've eliminated your allies in LarkClan, but what's left is you and your mate." Birdclaw's eyes silted and she let out a hiss at the mention of her mate. Mimicstar shifted her paws, moving one and placing in by Birdclaw's face, so she could lean down to hiss in Birdclaw's ear, but what she said seemed far away, because her attention was moved to something else... Birdclaw stared at Mimicstar's paw, a plan coming together in her mind. She realized Mimicstar was waiting for Birdclaw to respond. "What are you going to do to me, huh? You don't have the claws to kill me, Mimicstar." Birdclaw challenged, worrying in her mind. Oh StarClan, she's gonna see right through that! She's going to know I'm trying to distract her! I know she has the claws to kill me! She killed my friends from LarkClan! The Clan Mimicstar leads!

"Trust me Birdclaw, I do have the claws to kill you. But we need you alive to lure your mate out to save you." Mimicstar purred. SHE BOUGHT THAT?! Birdclaw's shocked mind shrieked, she thought Mimicstar would've seen right through her after finding out her LarkClan friends were secretly helping her. "I'll make your mate's death quick, and painless, but yours..." Mimicstar started laughing, making Birdclaw feel unsettled. "It will be just the opposite. You'll get a long and painful death for betraying your birth Clan. And--"

Birdclaw whipped her head around towards Mimicstar's nearby paw, chomping her teeth around it, Mimicstar yelp out a started yelp, leaping away from Birdclaw.

"OW! Birdkit you bit me!!" Mimickit shouted at Birdkit, "Oh StarClan! I'm sorry Mimickit! I didn't mean to actually hurt you!" Birdkit yelped, staring at her littermate with worry, "It's fine I guess... I accept your sorry." Mimickit growled, glaring at Birdkit and starting to groom her bitten paw. "But I'm still telling Mochaleaf."

"Well that's alright! As long as we can keep playing--" "I'm not playing anymore." Mimickit growled, Birdkit's jaw dropped, she stared at Mimickit in utter shock. "WHAT?" she shouted.

"Pleeeease Mimickit! I'm sorry I bit you! Pleeeease keep playing with me! It was getting fun!" Birdkit begged, "I don't wanna play anymore, Birdkit. Just listen, geez. We've been playing for hours." Mimickit said, glancing away from Birdkit, "Well if you don't wanna play willingly... You'll play unwillingly!!" Birdkit yelled as she crouched and lunged forward towards Mimickit, tackling her.
