*Rockstar, Whiteheart and Brindlepaw charge into camp. Rockstar leaps onto the lowest branch of the Great Oak* OakClan assemble beneath the Great Oak immediately! *Rockstar yowled. the Clan gathered immediately.* BloodClan and DeathClan are attacking! They are marching across our borders at this very moment. Russetpaw, Whitepaw, and Violetpaw guard the Queens, kits and elders! Icepaw, Sparrowpaw go and get FireClan and IceClan and hurry! *Rockstar's urgent mew sent the two apprentices charging out of camp. Russetpaw, Whitepaw and Violetpaw immediately went to stand guard at the entrance to the nursery. Mudpelt, the only elder, ran out of his den as fast as he could and went to join the Queens and kits in the nursery.* I'll help keep the kits safe! *He yowled* Jaggedfang, Tigerstripe, Emberleaf, Leopardpelt, Spottedstorm, Crowleaf, Fuzzyfern, Shadowpool, Hawkthorn, Tigeroak and I will hide in the forest and attack them. We'll have the advantage of surprise. Runningclover, you will come with us to treat the injured warriors. *Rockstar stared at her Clan as they split off. The warriors she had called, bundled in a group and separated them from the others.* Silverheart, Blizzardfur, Whiteheart, Rockbelly and Whitenose will stand guard at the camp entrance. The rest of you will stay in camp and defend the Queens, kits and elder. We are strong and we will defend out territory! Don't give up and don't loose hope! FireClan and IceClan are coming!
*Rockstar led her patrol into the forest, their pelts bristling. They hid among brambles and thick bushes. They could hear the low hisses from their enemy Clan. BloodClan was leading the ambush.* We must get to the Queens and kits and the medicine den. If we kill the queens and kits, OakClan will be small and weak and if we destroy the medicine supply, they will not have anything to cure wounds or diseases. *A dark mottled tabby tom from BloodClan spoke from the head of the group with menace in his voice and fire in his eyes.* OakClan attack! *Rockstar yowled when the two Clans crossed their path. Rockstar flung herself at the dark mottled tabby, claws unsheathed, who had spoke of killing their Queens and kits and destroying their medicine supply. Shrieks rose from the enemy Clans as the OakClan group heaved themselves at the group of enemies that was nearly four times their size. Rockstar sank her teeth into the tabby and raked her claws down his sides. He yowled and turned his head around to nip her paws. His teeth caught her front paw and she bit down harder on his shoulder. Pain surged through her body. Rockstar pinned the tabby to the ground. he wriggled beneath her grip. She felt claws raking her back and teeth biting her scruff. A tortoiseshell she-cat was gripped her scruff and raking her claws across Rockstar's back. She let go of her grip on the mottled tabby and turned to bit the she-cat. She rolled over on her back. She could feel the she-cat gasping for breath beneath her muscular body. The she-cat wriggled out from beneath her. The she-cat lunged for her back leg, but Rockstar was quicker. She dodged out of the way and leaped into the air, landing on the she-cat's back. She bit down on the she-cats neck, she could feel the foul-tasting blood in her mouth and bit down harder. The she-cat let out a cry for mercy and Rockstar let her go. The she-cat bolted off into the brambles toward her territory. Rockstar turned around to look for the tabby she had fought but couldn't find him. She shrugged and flung herself into the heaving mass of teeth and claws. She lunged at a cream-colored she-cat, biting into her leg. She could feel the crunching of the bone beneath her teeth. the she-cat yowled in pain and turned to bite Rockstar. The she-cat grasped Rockstar's tail and bit down. Rockstar let go of her leg and lunged at the she-cats neck, missing by a whisker as the she-cat let go of her tail and dodged Rockstar's bared teeth. Rockstar lunged again, her teeth sinking into the she-cats neck. She pinned the she-cat down and raked her hind legs across the she-cats exposed belly. The she-cat yowled in mercy. Rockstar was suddenly bowled over by a huge gray tom.* Say goodbye Rockstar! *He hissed. He twisted her neck around to bite his leg, but her moved it just in time. She gasped for air under the huge tabby's weight.
Oh IceClan and FireClan, where are you? She thought desperately. As if they had heard her, Icepaw and Sparrowpaw led IceClan toward the heaving mass of fighting cats. They let out a battle cry and lunged at the nearest enemy cat. Rockstar felt the weight of the tabby lifted off of her as she gasped for air. She stood up, dazed and saw Sparrowpaw biting down ont he tabby's scruff. He yowled and lunged at the apprentice. Rockstar threw herself at him before he could reach the young apprentice and pinned him down. he wriggled beneath them. Rockstar bit into his neck. Blood spurted out of his mouth and nose and a convulsion overtook his body. He shivered beneath them and gasped for air. Suddenly, his body went limp. Sparrowpaw released her grip on his leg and stared in surprise. Rockstar grunted in pain and limped over to the bush where the Runningclover hid.* Runningclover *she hissed.* Rockstar *she poked her head out of the bush* wha- oh my! You're hurt badly! Just a second. *Her hed poked back into the bush and she emerged with a bundle of herbs dangling from her jaws. The battle went on while Runningclover dabbed an ointment on her wounds.* Here, eat these Poppy seeds for the pain. *Runningclover pushed two seeds towards Rockstar. With a wrinkle of her nose, Rockstar lapped up the bitter-tasting herbs.* I have to get back to the battle. *Rockstar hissed.* Okay and may StarClan keep you safe. *Rockstar dipped her head int hanks and charged back to the mass of fighting cats, her hackles raised and her claws unsheathed. When she realized that they were outnumbered and losing, she let out a firce yowl to signal the patrol outside the camp to come and help. She lunged at a tom that had pinned Emberleaf down. Bowling him over, she bit into his neck. He yowled and kicked out with his claws, raking her sides. She released her grip on his neck and yowled in pain. He wriggle out from beneath her and lunged at her back leg. She dodged out of the way and threw herself at him, pinning him down again. She bit his neck and raked his sides until he screamed in mercy. She leaped off of him and watched him charge off into the woods. Emberlef was beside her, watching an apprentice, that she had easily defeated, run off into the woods. Rockstar noticed a deep gash in Emberleaf's side.* Go and see Runningclover. *Rockstar yowled over the screeches. Emberleaf nodded and loped off, avoiding a pair of enemy cats that were charging into the woods, Shadowpool and Crowleaf smiling triumphantly. A yowl broke out and ThiefClan charged into the clearing.
Oh great! More enemies! Rockstar lunged at one of the ThiefClan warriors, soon sending him charging off into the woods, followed by an apprentice. She quickly defeated a skinny she-cat and an apprentice, sending them bolting off after two more enemy warriors into the woods. Another yowl broke out from the thickest part of the woods and the OakClan patrol that had been guarding the camp charged into the clearing, followed by FireClan. More BloodClan, ThiefClan and DeathClan warriors charged off into the woods towards their own territory. Rockstar watched as Rockbelly pinned a DeathClan warrior to the snow-covered ground and bit his neck. The enemy warrior's body convulsed and then his body went limp. The last of the enemy warriors soon ran off into the woods, FireClan nipping their heels. OakClan, IceClan and FireClan, despite their drowsiness and wounds, yowled in victory. they had defeated the three enemy Clans and could return home.*
