Oakheart POV

Finally! After being stuck in that medicine cat den for moons, I can finally stretch my legs.

Of course, I congratulate my kits. They have come a long way.

Mossflower, such a pretty name. Mistyfoot, very memorable.

Stonefur, don't mess with him.

I decide to go for a walk. I head to the river. The sound of the water flowing comforts me. It reminds me of RiverClan.

I hear a voice coming towards me. I stand up straight and tall. This is my territory!

I see a cat, whose presence comforts and haunts me. Crookedstar.

He scowls at me. "If it isn't the traitor."

I hiss at him. "I am no traitor!"

He laughs. "Then why are you on RiverClan territory?"

I look at him. This is ThunderClan territory. Sunningrocks has always belonged to us!

"I am on my territory." I hiss

He laughs once more, then lunges at me. He sinks his claws into my side and hisses.

I growl and shove him off, how can you fight your own brother?

He doesn't have the same hesitation that I do. Again, he tackles me and bites my neck. I am still weakened by greencough and my muscles ache. I use all my power to shove him off.

I sprint to a tree and climb it. I rest on a branch. Crookedstar sneers.

"Oakheart you ThunderClan squirrel!"

I close my eyes. I'm trapped. I'm weak. I'm crow-food.

-------

How long did I sit there? I have no clue. I just know that a patrol is coming.

A patrol! They will surely save me.

The patrol consisted of Thrushpelt, Whitestorm, Stonefur, and Mossflower.

As soon as they see Crookedstar, they yell and hiss at him. He flees across the river, but I know that it's not over.

-----

I go to camp with the patrol. As soon as we're there, I rest.

I know that I have more enemies than I realized. But my own brother?
