“This is a disgrace!” a gray tom states angrily. “Who would do such a thing!” another says. “Probably Dayclan, Tigerdusk.” one mutters. “Let’s tell Moonstar,” Tigerdusk says “Let’s go.” “Hmm,” a brown tom with gray stripes studies the bones carefully. “ Moonstar, it reeks of Sunstar,” Tigerdusk says hissing. “I don’t like to place blame, Tigerdusk,” Moonstar says. “It’s him,“ Tigerdusk tries to persuade him. “I’ll think about it Tigerdusk.” “We have had a... misunderstanding with Dayclan,” Moonstar booms from the top of his rock. “Boo!” someone jeers. “We don’t need to figh-” “FIGHT! FIGHT!” The cats cheer. I don’t want to fight. I think sadly. “Maybe, but I don’t want to risk countless lives. I’ll wait for a sign.” Moonstar says sighing. “It’s a sign Moonstar!” Wishtail says as the sky gets darker and darker. “The moon has covered the sun, we will win, Moonstar!” Wishtail says hurriedly. “Fine,” Moonstar says. The pattering of paws echoed through the darkness, and soon the wail of cats. This was a war. Sunstar finally spotted me, staring me down with hatred. “Why did you do this!” He stormed. “Somebody stole prey an-” “So? You have no proof!” Sunstar says. “And left bones with your scent,” Moonstar says trying to stay calm. “Oh, your moon is fading,” Sunstar says smugly. I stare up at the moon, now moving away from the sun. I panic, “RETREAT!” I yell running from Sunstar. I see cats stare at me oddly and then look at the sky and panic. Sunstar was gone from his place and was chasing me, he was going to attack. “Get off!” I yell as Sunstar sinks his claws into me. “Why should I? Retreat!“ He mimics and gives me a life-threatening wound. “Father!” a hazel-colored cat says. “Why Moonstar? Why...” an older brown she-cat says sadly. “ Wake up!” the apprentice medicine cat shouts. “He’s gone Hazelfur, Swiftleaf, Mousewatcher,” Wishtail says nodding at Mousewatcher. “Curse you Sunstar! I HATE YOU!” Hazelfur says pinning down Sunstar. “Honey, get off” Mosewatcher whispers. As soon as she’s off, Sunstar sprints back to his clan and is gone. Hazelstar stands where her father used to stand, right on top of the high rock. “ I declare that our new deputy is... uh... Thunderclaw!” I say eying the white tom, he looks like he’s about to explode in happiness. But a gray tom named Lightningshade stared with jealousy. He must’ve wanted that job, or maybe he... likes me. No that’s weird, right?
