Chapter Nine
Dawn shimmered its light into the camp when all cats were ready for the battle. Robinwing looked ready to kill, as if protecting her kits, and the rest of the cats seemed anxious. Thrushpelt padded to his daughters, licking in between their ears. They both seemed excited for their first battle, but Thrushpelt wasn't so sure.
"Cracklepaw, Cinderpaw. Be careful please." He pleaded his daughter. This battle could be their last and he didn't want to risk that.
"We'll be fine, we've been training for this for nearly six moons!" Cracklepaw chirped, her paw now healed.
"What if I get the move wrong? I'll be a goner!" Cinderpaw wailed.
"You will be fine, if anything happens, you have an entire clan, and your brother to help you." He reassured his daughter, he felt as if he were comforting himself along with Cinderpaw.
"Attack patrol, let's go." Sunstar meowed and exited the camp, Thrushpelt padded alongside Robinwing, Cracklepaw and Cinderpaw both at the Warriors flanks. They all kept quiet, crossing the border to WindClan territory...
Sunstar bursts into the WindClan camp, screeching a battle cry. "ThunderClan, attack!" He yowled ferociously. Sunstar leapt at Heatherstar, and the battle began.
Thrushpelt watched as Robinwing hurtled herself at a warrior. His daughters both worked together, attacking a strong looking tom. Thrushpelt watched closely as all his Clanmates began to fight.
Suddenly, a broad-shouldered tom approached Thrushpelt. The tom leapt at Thrushpelt, knocking him on his belly. Thrushpelt screeched as the hue warrior began to claw at his exposed belly. The tom looked up at him. "I want you to see me, and remember my name when you die!" The tom spat. Thrushpelt kicked the threatening cat in the nose, pushing him away.
"It's Thrushpelt!" He said as he jumped on the rim, biting hard on his shoulders until he felt warm blood flow from the toms skin."
"Thrushpelt? That explains why you are so weak. Easy prey!" He flung The ThunderClan warrior off. "And it's Sagefrost, if you must know." He smirked. Thrushpelt stared at Sagefrost. His name suited him, broad shoulders, black pelt with blue eyes, he seemed strong.
Sagefrost yowled and lunged for Thrushpelts throat. Thrushpelt only ducked just in time, barely getting a scratch on his forehead.
Sagefrost shot up, clearly very angry. He turned, biting down hard on Thrushpelt's tail, making him lose his balance. He stomped on Thrushpelt, keeping him down.
Sagefrost dug his claws into Thrushpelts head, drawing blood. "You think you can barge in here when we wake, expecting to win? Gullible ThunderClan!" He nipped Thrushpelt's spine and smirked as he let out an agonizing groan.
"You will never win, and because you thought you could, you pay the price. He bit hard on Thrushpelt's back leg, hard enough to hear a crack! He let go and watched as Thrushpelt struggled to get up, failing.
Thrushpelt was in shock, he couldn't get up. Sagefrost was bolting towards Sunstar, who was about to make a death blow on Heatherstar. He leapt at the flame colored leader, and bit hard on his throat, watching as the life was draining from the ThunderClan leader.
Thrushpelt stared in horror. Sunstar was on his last life! He began to grieve, knowing Sunstar was dead. We must win this battle! He got up, and flicked his ears at Thistleclaw, signaling to the nursery. Sagefrost and Heatherstar caught the motion, and both eyes widen in fear.
Thistleclaw barked at the WindClan cats, fearless, pinning down what seemed like an expecting queen. "I will shred this queen unless you leave the territory and clans!" He yowled.
Heatherstar gasped. "No! Do not hurt her! We will leave." She wailed. "WindClan, retreat." She lamely meowed. All of the cats began to leave the camp, and ThunderClan let out a yowl of triumph, atleast until they spotted Sunstar, completely dead.
Thistleclaw was the first to say something. "N..no! Those fox-hearts! I should have killed that queen!" Suddenly, Thrushpelt heard something.
A small kit was left in the nursery, mewling for milk. It was dark brown, with deep green eyes. Thistleclaw yowled once more. "Free filth cat! Robinwing, take this kit and care for it." He meowed. "I will get my nine lives tonight." He announced, and they left that camp.
Thrushpelt glanced at Cracklepaw and Cinderpaw, they came to help him up. "I think it's broken." He told them. They both nodded and walked him out. They had no serious injuries. Thank StarClan... He walked away, until they reached camp.
