Stormflame's P.O.V:

Stormflame still felt Skystar's presence beside him as he padded through the chattering cats. He made his way to Silverstar who had just jumped off the Hightree after the clan meeting ended. Stormflame let his gaze wander over Silverstar's shining silver tabby fur and smiled softly before meowing, "Silverstar?"

Silverstar turned to Stormflame, "Yes?" She meowed, slightly distracted by the onslaught of cats asking her questions about the upcoming battle.

Stormflame shuffled his paws, "I was just wondering if I could lead one of the battle patrols?"

There was a loud hiss from behind and Stormflame turned around to see Fernpelt approaching him, "You want to lead a battle patrol?!" The deputy stared at Silverstar, "No way."

Silverstar sighed and turned her full attention to Stormflame and Fernpelt, "Fernpelt, be nice. And Stormflame... You're not a senior warrior yet so I would have to decline.. But you can join my battle patrol if you want."

Stormflame shrugged, "Alright." It wasn't as good as leading a patrol but it was still good enough. He turned away and trotted back to the warriors den. Inside, he saw there was no one and he smiled lightly. He sat down in his nest and saw the faint outline of Skystar in front of him.

"And now we wait for sundown." Stormflame muttered and lay his head on his paws.

Clearlight's P.O.V:

Clearlight checked the sun. It was still not sundown yet. He sighed and glanced around the busy camp. Cats were still chattering nervously amongst themselves, most were saying how they would chase out the four evil toms they were going to fight but Clearlight guessed that most of them didn't realise that the four toms were extremely powerful.

Waterfly emerged from the medicine den with a huge yawn. Her blue eyes were dull as she settled stiffly beside Clearlight. She stifled another yawn and Clearlight meowed, "Just woke up?"

The medicine cat nodded slowly, eyes half closed. "Is it sundown yet?" She rested her head on her paws and glanced at Clearlight sleepily.

"Not yet, but soon. Are you going to be on my patrol, Fernpelt's or Silverstar's?" Clearlight tilted his head to the side and studied Waterfly.

Waterfly shrugged, "I'll be wherever I'm needed."

"Okay." Clearlight nodded and rolled onto his side. He stretched his legs and yawned, then relaxed and stared up at the grey sky. The thunderstorm was holding but it was definite that the storm would begin during the battle. Clearlight frowned at the sky and twitched his ears.

Waterfly moved beside Clearlight and sighed, "We've been through so much. The two of us." She leaned her head against Clearlight's and whispered, "If only Skystar were here. She would help us."

Clearlight felt tears fill his gaze but he quickly wiped them away and mumbled, "Yes she would."

Silverstar's P.O.V:

Silverstar glanced at the sky. It was nearly sundown. It was time to gather the warriors and charge into battle.

She climbed up onto a low branch on the Hightree and yowled, "Cats of Lightclan! Get into your positions!!" Silverstar watched at the cats dashed from their dens and from where they were sitting and lined up behind their patrol leaders.

Clearlight was leading on patrol around the left side, Fernpelt's patrol on the right and Silverstar's patrol head-on. Silverstar leapt down from the Hightree and meowed, "Good luck everyone." She meowed before heading out of camp with the three patrols following closely behind.
