   Splashpaw awoke. He smiled, and walked over to Tigerpaw's spleeping area. She had moved it farther from him. He laid down next her, purring, and stroked her with his long, black tail. She flinched at first then started to relax, a little. He smirked. At last! She's mine! He thought. He curled around till it was time for training. He reluctantly got up, and left the den.
"Scalefur, lead a patrol with Caymantooth, Vineflower, and Splashpaw to the border over on the side closet island. Other patrols have said there was monkey activity," the deputy Shadowriver meowed as Splashpaw came out of his den. Splashpaw was delighted to go on patrol with his mate. Vineflower's belly was already bulging. She looked like an over fed kittypet.
"Ready?" Scalefur asked. The cats in the patrol nodded. They jumped and leaped over to the border.
   "When are the kits due?" Splashpaw meowed to Vineflower.
   "Two moons," she answered.
   "It's been that long?" He meowed, and she nodded. "Wow, it feels like just yesterday."
   "Stop!" Scalefur meowed, and they stopped after jumping on the branch he was on. "Do you smell monkey? Argh! They've trespassed! I thought we taught them a lesson?" He yowled, exasperated.
   "I suppose it's time to teach them another one," Caymantooth growled.
"Shouldn't we tell Bramblestar first?" Vineflower meowed. Scalefur nodded. "Alright, let's head back, and tell him." So the patrol marked to trees, and leapt back to camp.
"Bramblestar! The monkeys have trespassed again!" Scalefur yowled as they hopped up to camp. Bramblestar jumped out of his den.
"Then let us show tell them to stay on their side of the border with tooth and claw!" He yowled. The cats in camp cheered. "Snakefang, Caymantooth, Berryfall, Eelwhisker, Monkeytail, Eveningbreeze, Sootsplash, Otterpaw, Slothclaw, Branchclimber, Longleap, Splashpaw, Leaffall, and Vineflower-" Bramblestar began, but was interrupted by Vineflower.
"I need to stay here. I'm expecting," she meowed.
"Congradulations! Then of course you must stay here. Shadowriver, your in charge while I'm gone. Let's go!" He meowed enthusiastically. The deputy nodded. The patrol jumped from branch to branch soon reaching the border. They jumped across their scent markers into enemy territory. The monkeys where near by. Bramblestar let out a battle screech, and the battle began.
Red squirrel monkeys fled, oozing crimson. Splashpaw clawed and bit. Soon the cats were standing alone, drenched in blood, hardly any their own.
"Now that they have been taught their second lesson, let's go back to have out wounds checked by Pebblefrost," Bramblestar called. The cats leapt after him as he jumped away. Berryfall stumbled. She had a large bite on her neck. Blood spilled from it like a waterfall. She screeched, and fell. Though her screeched sound more like a gurgle. Eelwhisker wailed. Berryfall was his sister. Snaketooth had to hold him back from jumping down to his sister.
The piranhas soon came, the water turned red. There was nothing left of her after a few heartbeats. Slashpaw almost laughed. Serves her right! She was never strong enough to be a good warrior! He thought. The patrol almost crawled back to camp. They grieved their climates death. Splashpaw, almost happy at her death, curled up, and went to sleep. He didn't need medical care since he wasn't wounded. His breath slowed to a gentle pace, and he was already Wisppaw again.
