  "I did not ask for that!" Ruststar hissed angrily.
  Willowstar scoffed, "it sure sounded like it."
  The air seemed to be getting thicker as Velvetflame took a deep breath. Was this the end of MarshClan? Were the other Clans going to destroy them?
  "Even if Ruststar did steal the kits, I believe this is a matter for SunClan and MarshClan to work out. Not MoonClan or SnowClan." Miststar meowed.
  The silver she cat of SnowClan dipped her head. "I am ok with that as long as Streamstar is."
  The SunClan leader finally spoke. "Yes, this is only for my Clan and Ruststar's."
  The ginger tom narrowed his eyes, he tried to shuffle forward but there was no Space to move with the seven cats on the rock. "MarshClan is leaving."
  He leaped down from the rock, followed by Velvetflame. She gave her sisters once last disgusted glance, and turned away.
  The walk back to camp was tense and silent. No one talked, except for Ruststar murmuring to himself about a battle.
  When they arrived back at camp, he called for a Clan meeting.
  Hopestream and Flufftail walked out of the warriors' den, Tigerpaw stumbled out from the dirt place, as well at Deertail and Twigfall. Sapheart stayed at the back of the crowd with Gingerflame and Flinttooth.
  Velvetflame watched Waterdrop move to sit next to the leader's rock. She narrowed her eyes at the deputy, who was still healing from Ambershine's
blow.
  "I have gathered you all here to announce that we will launch an attack on SunClan tomorrow at dusk." Ruststar announced.
  All the cats gasped.
  "I want Tigerpaw, Twigfall, Grasspelt, and Juniperfur to guard the camp, everyone else comes with me to the border."
  Velvetflame dig her claws into the ground impatiently. She couldn't wait to get her paws on a SunClan cat... even if was one of her sisters.
  A noise rustled from the camp entrance and the brambles made way to a large patrol of cats.
  "You're too late Ruststar. The battle has already begun."
  It was Streamstar.
