Shadowstar leapt onto her perch, from which she had a good view of the camp and the forest surrounding it. The fur on her neck bristled when she saw a flicker of movement in the shadows. "Warriors, prepare for battle!" she yowled. "Queens and elders, hide in the warrior's den. Apprentices, guard the kits. Lightfrost!" Lightfrost looked up, pricking his ears expectantly as Shadowstar bounded down the sharp rocks to join him. "I'm counting on you," Shadowstar meowed as she padded towards where all of the Clan warriors--twenty-six in total--had gathered.
Violet crouched among them, her amber eyes smouldering. Darkflower's teeth were bared in an ugly snarl as her claws scraped against the ground.
Streamflower woke at once and picked up two kits, dashing out of the nursery and bounding up to Shadowstar's den. She bolted back for the other two and repeated her movements, curling around the kits where no cat ouside of ThunderClan could ever go. The elders were whispering amongst themselves in terrified tones, while the seven apprentices barred the way into the den, their claws and teeth flashing in the sunlight.
