The white she-cat walked silently towards Oakstar's den, ready to face the WindClan Leader.

"Applestorm," she hissed to the cat next to her — A wiry brown Tom. "Stay here."

"B-but! I~" He stammered and she cut him off with an ice cold glare. He took a step back; frightened by her angry gaze.

"I said stay here!" She snapped, her tail swishing angrily.

"Y-yes Icetail." Applestorm said hesitantly. Her gaze softened slightly. And she ducked her head to go into the leaders den. Icetail couldn't see Applestorm anymore, the loss of sight of her mate made her nervous; what if Applestorm couldn't hear her signal? Icetail saw the strong Tom WindClan leader, and she fastened her jaws around his neck, and squeezed. Oakstar awoke screaming. Icetail let go for a moment and yowled as loud as she could. Then she crunched her fangs down on his neck again. And suddenly Applestorm was beside her, clawing his way onto the bigger Tom's back, then he looked at Icetail, who gave him a look that meant "Do it" And Applestorm bit down hard, landing the death blow. And in his final moments, Oakstar swatted a paw hard at Icetail. Who couldn't dodge in time and fell to the ground. Applestorm kicked Oakstar hard in the back and leapt off of him, 

"Icetail! Are you okay?" He cried, licking her wound desperately,

"I'm fine. Just... Hurts." She said, soothed by his warm tongue. 

"Let's get out of here, before someone finds us."

"I'm afraid you're too late." Said a voice, Icetail looked up and saw a light brown Tom, standing in the entrance.

"You have to come with me. I'm afraid I'll have to take you to Foxfur. And I'll say he is not, very nice." The new cat led them to a den nearby, and shoved them inside. "Foxfur. I have two ThunderClan prisoners. They killed Oakstar." 

"They what?" Foxfur snarled, "They killed him?" 

"Yes. You must travel to the moonstone soon. Then you will be known as Foxstar." 

"Thank you, Thrushheart." Foxfur said, his tail curled close around himself. "In the meanwhile, I'll take the she-cat." 

"Alright." Thrushheart said. And Icetail hissed. She watched her mate led away and she was left alone with the WindClan deputy.

"What were you doing in WindClan territory, Icetail?" He asked.

"I was- I came to kill Oakstar like Ashstar told me to." 

"Ah, yes. Well you belong to WindClan now. And while we're at it... I'll have you as my mate." 

"I can't! I'm already mated with Applestorm!"

"Hush! You're my mate now. And that's that. Your fur is very beautiful indeed."

"I'd rather die than be mates with you!" Icetail spat.

"Well then, so be it."
