Ch 3

Leafshower entered camp, trying to pull a fake smile. She coudlnt let anyone know what had happened, especially not her sister. She sat down in the shade, avoiding eye contact with anyone.

"Hiya Leafshower!" Rainpaw meowed while padding over.

She sighed under her breath. "Rainpaw, can you-"

Rainpaw blinked, sadly. "Sure, ill go leave you alone. Im not just a dumb apprentice." She muttered as she stood, and padded off.

Leafshower blinked, sadly. "Great. Everyone is mad with me except my sister." She said to herself. She glanced to her left and saw Cloudtuft sitting with a group of cats, most likely telling them about her fight with Jadestar.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the poppyrock for a clan meeting!" Reedstar yowled. Cloudtufts group of cats looked up at Reedstar, and her sister did too.

"Now, I heard-" Leafshower held her breath worridly. "A warrior crossed the border today, and scuffled with Jadestar." She let out a soft sigh and pricked her ears. "Jadestar might be planning a attack, so I want every cat ready to fight. Rainpaw, I want you and Leafshower to join Cloudtuft and train. Paledust, you and Birdswoop can help strengthen the brambles. Everyone else- just pitch in.." He lept down and starting to weave brambles around the warriors den.

She saw Rainpaw give her a look, and Cloudtuft sat down by her. Leafshower sighed, and padded over to help Reedstar. She felt every cat hated her officialy except him.

Ch 2

As Jadestar's claws grazed her flank, she leaped aside, skillfully. "Jadestar stop! I only want to talk!"

Jadestar hissed and lashed out at her. "Your in our territory, I dont have to talk to you!" Her eyes shone fear but bravery too.

Leafshower leapt up, and pinned Jadestar. "Let me talk to you!" She dug her claws into the dirt, so Jadestar couldnt move.

Jadestar relaxed, and when Leafshower stepped off, Jadestar shot off into the bushes. She stared after the leader, wondering why she was so jumpy and moody.

"Leafshower! Get back up here!" Dizzyfall's startled meow brought her back into reality. She ran up the ravine, claws working into the soil.

Cloudtuft gave her a mad look. "What are you doing, crossing the borders and fighting with the leader?! Shes most likely going to attack the camp now!" He turned and padded down the path towards camp. Dizzyfall follow, giving Leafshower a soft glance.

She waited until they were out of sight, then she padded after them, head bowed sadly. She had just started a war between the clans without even realizing it.

Ch 1

Leafshower padded down the trail, Cloudtuft, Dizzyfall, and Birdswoop behind her. They were heading towards the Tigerclan border. Leafshower felt her muzzle twitch, as the got near the border. Something was wrong. Either they were waiting in ambush, or they were in battle. She quickened her pace, as did her patrol. Finally, after a while, they were standing at the border.

"Well, Leafshower?? You said something was wrong?" Cloudtuft, asked, his white fur rain-soaked. He was the deputy of her clan, Reedclan, and very strict about what went on.

She twitched her ears a bit. "I know somethings wrong, just-just wait."

"For how long??" Birdswoop asked. Her fur was plastered to her, and she was shivering slightly. "Weve been walked through rain all day! Were all cold and tired!"

Cloudtuft nodded his agreement, as did Dizzyfall.

"Im sorry, you guys can go back. Im staying here." She told them, eyes narrowed. They were either staying with her, of leaveing her alone. She waited to see which it would be.

Dizzyfall blinked, and sat down. "Im staying with Leafshower."

Birdswoop snorted. "IM not." Then she glanced at Cloudtuft. "Cloudtuft.?"

He sighed. "Its my duty to make sure we all stay safe. Birdswoop- you can go back to camp. It isnt that far if you take the meadow."

Birdswoop blinked, fur bristling, and she leapt off into the bracken.

Leafshower, meanwhile had been watching the border. She had spotted the Tigerclan leader- Jadestar snooping around her territory. She had gone out of view, and she was dying to see where Jadestar was headed. When Cloudtuft and Dizzyfall glanced away, she leaped over the border and scrambled down the cliffside. She looked around, and scented the air. Jadestar's scent covered the area. She had been here a lot.

"What are you doing here??!" Jadestar yowled, fur brisling, teeth bared in a snarl. She didnt wait for a answer before she leaped at Leafshower.
