Wolfclaw heard rustling in the trees. "who is that?" he called. The cat yawned. "wha..." The cat opened their eyes as he realized it was Brightleaf. "the clan is worried! you slept here. How could you be so irresponsible?" he said in disbelief. "Sorry!" she said. "why weren't you here last night? I was wondering why Foxleap was sad. did you turn him down?". "No." They started to walk to camp.

"Did he turn you down?"

"No! leave me alone!"

She started to run but he grabbed her. "you can't run from your problems any more." he whispered. "you can trust me. you have a hard life, but that doesn't mean it always has to be." she tried to run again, looking down. "I can help you." he said and let go of her but she didn't move. She just looked up with tears rolling down her face. she licked his cheek and walked away.

Brightleaf looked at Foxleap. he was blushing at Lilywing. she shook off the thought of being jealous. Wolfclaw was Walking in from patrol carrying a plump rabbit. "hi!" he greeted her. "I heard about Foxleap. the whole clan is talking about him and Lilywing- sorry." he realized he was talking about her former love in her face. "it's okay. I knew it wouldn't work out any way. Go on." She answered. " er...And you and me." She couldn't under stand why he had looked troubled when he said 'you and me'. "is that okay?" she questioned. "yes!" he said convincingly as he added, "I didn't know if it would.... be okay with you." "well it is!" Brightleaf said. "Bramblestar! Riverclan is swimming from the lake on to our territory!" "What?!?" "Cloudtail, take a patrol of six and go around the territory to ShadowClan scent line and attack from that direction. Brightleaf take a patrol of four and do the same around to the Windclan border. I will take four and attack strait on. go! Bramblestar said. Wolfclaw got picked for Cloudtail's patrol. "good luck." she whispered. he nodded and headed away. she lead her patrol to the Windclan border. "okay, are you ready?" She asked. "yes" they all said. she ran out to the lake with a battle yowl ready for any thing.
