"Kestrelflight! Come here now!" Sunnytail ran out of the nursery "Heathertail is giving birth!"
Although she had called for the medicine cat, Breezepelt was the first to the nursery. Kestrelflight followed closely behind, holding an assortment of various herbs and berries.
Just as they dissapeared into the nursery, Meadowstar hobbled out "What's going on?" She croaked
"Heathertail is giving birth" Littlenight announced
"But it's too early!" Meadowstar gasped "They should be born three moons away! Go and fetch Smoketalon, tell him that Heathertail is giving birth."
Littlenight ran out of the camp. He followed the trail of the hunting patrol. When he found them, the patrol was near the border. The cats were disheveled and bloodied, and Littlenight noticed that two cats were missing; Crowfeather and Smokeheart. He ran up to Sedgewhisker, the leader of the patrol.
"Where are Crowfeather and Smokeheart?" He asked, but the white she-cat hissed when he mentioned Crowfeather's name. "That mange-pelt! He doesn't deserve a clan name anymore" She spat
Littlenight looked at Sedgewhisker, startled. When he looked up at the rest of the patrol, they were nodding in agreement.
"Owltalon? What happened?" Littlenight questioned
"Crowfeather told us he knew a good place to hunt near the border. He took us there, but when we were near, he started attacking us. He said that the Clan didn't appreciate him. Remember how before the Clans came to the lake, Crowfeather, Feathertail, Stormfur, Bramblestar, Squirelflight and Tawnypelt travelled to the Sun-Drown-Place to find Midnight the badger?" Littlenight nodded "He thinks that no-one appreciates what he did; losing Feathertail and Leafpool and all that"
Littlenight gaped "Of course we do! If it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't be alive!"
"Yeah, well he doesn't see that"
"Where's Smokeheart?" Littlenight repeated
"He was trying to make Crowfeather come back last time we saw him" Owltalon pointed in the direction the patrol had come from.
"Thanks" Littlenight said hurriedly and quickly ran in the direction he had pointed in.
When he was almost at the border, Littlenight picked up the stench of blood, and as he approached the scent line, he saw Crowfeather leaning over a half dead Smokeheart, about to deal the killing blow.
"NO!" Littlenight yowled and knocked Crowfeather from over the other warrior
"You traitor!" Littlenight spat "You don't deserve a clan name. From this moment on, you will be known as Crow, and you are exiled from WindClan"
