Stormeye was really surprised that Otterpaw had returned to his normal cheerful attitude. Cracklepaw and Treepaw started talking to him after their long fight, but now the happiness outweighs the sadness. 

Stormeye called, "Otterpaw!" Otterpaw appeared, mewing happily. 

Otterpaw meowed, "I wanna go hunting!" He jumped up and down.

"Okay!" Stormeye mewed. She led Otterpaw out of the camp and into the territory. 

Suddenly an unusual scent touched her nose. 'R-rogue scent?" She gasped. Otterpaw was also sniffing the air. 

A black tom was chomping on a rabbit. It looked up and saw them. 

"Hey, what are you doing on Tiger Cats' territory?" He snarled,  still holding the rabbit.

"No, you are on FlameClan territory!" Stormeye hissed. 

The tom sneered, "no, Tiger Cats! This whole forest is Tiger Cats' territory! Even the lake in the center is ours!"

Otterpaw yowled and swiped the cat's nose. "Get off!" He snarled, watching the surprised look of the rogue.

Suddenly the bushes moved, and Sharpjaw slid out. "Get off our territory, rogue. We have already driven the others out. Even killed a few." He unsheathed his claws, revealing red claws. 

The rogue looked at him and gulped. But it wasn't over yet. "Attack!" He yelled, and cats streamed out from the bushes, teeth bared, claws reaching forward.

"Never!" A yowl sounded. Ashstorm suddenly landed on top of the rogue and snapped its neck. Ashstorm straightened up and glared at the cats. The cats lunged at him. "Defend our territory!" Ashstrom yelled, and all of the warriors of FlameClan leaped down from the trees.

Stormeye saw Snaptooth from IceClan appearing at the border. "What? Rogues? I'm going to tell Coldstar this!" He ran back to his camp.

But then something raked her ear. A tom lunged at her again, but Stormeye was ready. She ducked under him, and scratched his belly. The tom yelled in pain, and collasped to the ground, panting.

"FlameClan, wait!" A yowl sounded. Coldstar was racing down the slope with IceClan warriors. "Rogues do not belong on clan territory! We are your allies!" he yelled.

All of the IceClan warriors fought alongside the FlameClan cats, but the rogues fought back. 

"This is Tiger Cats' territory!" A tom yelled, launching himself at Iceclaw from IceClan, but with a backward kick Iceclaw kicked him into the air. Swoopleap and Orangeberry took this chance and slammed him into the ground. 

"Retreat! Tiger Cats!" A voice yelled. All rogues fled, shooting glances at the clan cats. 

Soon all rogues were gone.

Coldstar looked at Flamestar. "Well, the rogues are gone."

Flamestar's eyes were filled with tears. "Thank you, IceClan! Without your help, we would have died." 

Snaptooth dipped his head. "I couldn't stand seeing a clan being flattened by some mouse-brained rogues!"

Flamestar dipped his head. "Thank you! But now we have a lot of injuries, it's time for Berrylight and Crimsonpelt to heal our clans."

Coldstar nodded. "Yes, IceClan shall now be FlameClan's friend. We will not fight anymore; we will have peace. But I always have a feeling that there is a greater battle coming soon."

Flamestar sighed. "Yes. Me too. I've seen visions with blood, dead cats, and screechs of fighting cats in the air. Let's hope that our ancestors will watch over us, and bless us all." 

Coldstar started to move back to his camp. "Yes, see you at the Gathering tommorow!" Then IceClan disapeared. 

Stormeye couldn't believe it. IceClan, FlameClan's enemy had finally trusted them!
