I crept along the border we shared with RiverClan, Crowstorm and Sharksplash close behind me.
"You guys, stay here while I go into the camp. Maybe I can get one of Moonleaf's kits and make her pay for leaving." I whispered to my kits.
"OK, but the moment there's trouble, call for us," Crowstorm said as Sharksplash nodded his head.
I crept into RiverClan camp and ran over to the nursery just as the other ShadowClan warriors burst through the camp entrance. Everything's going exactly as planned. I saw Moonleaf bringing her kits into the nursery. I sprang onto the one at the back, a beautiful honey colored kit. She's so beautiful. It's a pity she has such a short life.
"Honeykit!" I heard Moonleaf wail. "Give her back!"
"Never," I snarled, surprised at what I was saying. She slashed at my pelt and shoulders.
"You could never kill me Moonleaf. You're far too weak for that," I snarled.
"Taking my kit is not OK!" She snarled, but hesitated. In that moment, I threw her off of me, and landed square on her back.
"I live by the warrior code. And the warrior code says you do not need to kill to win!" Moonleaf said as she threw me off her and slashed my face. I backed away, letting her think that she won. I'll be back someday, Moonleaf. Watch your back.
I ran out of the RiverClan camp to where Sharksplash and Crowstorm were hiding.
"What happened?" Crowstorm asked, looking at my still bleeding scars.
"Nothing I can't fix," I snarled. "Letting Moonleaf think she could beat me was the point of this, not beating her."
"Do you need the medicine cat?" Sharksplash asked.
"No, I'm fine. Scars just show how many battles you've won." I hissed. "Now, we should get back to ShadowClan camp, as Tigerstar will need to talk to you both. And I need to start planning."
