Blazestrike then left his hiding spot to go eat. Moonsky stopped him.
"Hi Moonsky!" Blazestrike chirped, trying not to sound suspicious.
"Hello." Moonsky growled.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing." Blazestrike sighed then and walked off. Just then, Deerleap padded over. "Not talking, eh?"
"Nope." Blazestrike said sadly.
"Don't kill me for saying this, but I think she likes Darkmystery over you." Deerleap meowed. Blazestrike nodded and padded off. Suddenly, he heard somebody scream. Everybody looked around curiously. Duckfoot then ran into camp, panting. "It's Bubblepaw... she's just been... killed by a...monster." Robineye heard from the nursery and started wailing. Bubblepaw was her last daughter. Shadowstep dipped his head sadly and went to comfort his mate. It then began to rain. Everybody rushed off to their dens.

That night, Darkmystery and Moonsky were due to meet outside camp. Blazestrike was following them obviously. Moonsky finally saw Darkmystery.
"Alas! Now, lets go." He purred. The 2 cats walked together, side by side. Blazestrike was so desprate to jump out and scare them both, but kept to the shadows. He then noticed that Darkmystery was getting quite close to Moonsky. Thankfully, they aririved at the boarder with BloodClan. Voices echoed through the cold breeze and the trees were swaying. Blazestrike couldn't help but feel scared.
"She's here. Bloodstar kidnapped her." Darkmystery explained softly.
"I wonder why..." Moonsky asked herself. Darkmystery then stopped her and he led the way. Blazestrike creeped through the bushes, trying not to make a single sound. He then stopped when he realised he couldn't move much futher. Blazestrike watched the two cats as they entered Bloodstar's den. His heart skipped a beat as he waited paitently. What would happen? Within 5 minutes, the two cats padded out. Moonsky walked over the boarder and started to head back until Darkmystery stopped her. His eyes looked friendly and they were full of emotion.
"Moonsky... I love you." He mummered. Blazestrike had feared for this day to happen. Sadly, he started to walk off with his head down.
"I'm really sorry Darkmystery, but I have taken a intrest in someone else." Moonsky meowed. Blazestrike stopped. Who did Moonsky like?
"Oh, ok." Darkmystery sighed. "I'll go then." He walked off, sulking. Moonsky then glanced around. "Blazestrike, I know you're here." She called. Blazestrike padded out. He was nervous. "Look, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. You are right, I don't think of others and no one should take pity on me. I'm a disgrace to the clan." He said sadly.
"I forgive you." Moonsky mewed. "I lost my temper and then it when over the top. Anyways Blazestrike, you do know right that someone in the clan is very fond of you?"
"Em, hard to believe."
"Well, someone does."
"Who?"
"Guess."
"Wildpaw?"
"No."
"Rainflower?"
"No."
"Leafdew?"
"No again. You are nowhere near."
"Yeah, but I'm only guessing. Flightheart?"
"Nope."
"Deerleap?"
"No!"
"Ok, I give up. I've named all the she-cats without mates."
"No you haven't."
"Wait! Is it you by any chance?" Moonsky remained silent and Blazestrike smiled. "You mouse-brain. It is you, isn't it?"
"Um.. yes?" Blazestrike smiled again and rested his head on her shoulder. Moonsky purred and licked his cheek. Suddenly, voices were heard from nearby! Blazestrike looked around. He could see no cats around him.
"Blazestrike," Moonsky shuddered. "I can smell BloodClan in the bushes." Blazestrike turned around and saw a pair of yellow eyes glaring at him. The cat then walked out. It was a white she-cat with yellow eyes and a swollen belly. She was easily reconised by Blazestrike.
"Snowstar!" He cried joyfully, rushing to her. The leader smiled at her son and licked his head. "Hello Blazestrike."
"We know what happened." Moonsky meowed. "And we don't blame you. We won't tell anyone else, just get rid of that BloodClan smell and you'll be fine." Snowstar nodded and noticed the river was nearby. She jumped in. Blazestrike and Moonsky smiled and then helped the she-cat out.
"Lets go home." Blazestrike meowed. The three cats started to return to camp, where Darkmystery and Cherrypaw were. Blazestrike gulped. Cherrypaw was his first love and Darkmystery loved Moonsky. What were they going to do now? Snowstar went to find Badgerstripe, but Darkmystery stopped Blazestrike and Moonsky. Cherrypaw purred at Blazestrike and smiled at him. Moonsky looked worried and then pressed up against Blazestrike, which was the wrong thing to do! Darkmystery and Cherrypaw gasped in horror and growled.
"So, Moonsky, who have you chosen to be your mate?" Darkmystery asked the she-cat, walking towards her.
"Blazestrike." Moonsky mumbled.
"What?! You chose that piece of fox-dung to be your mate?"
"Yes. He may have been a evil apprentice, but he's changed now. He is the only tom I would want as my mate, no one else."
"But he was going to mate Cherrypaw!"
"She can't be a warrior though, remember." Cherrypaw looked very upset and ran off. Darkmystery was furious.
"Leave her alone. She likes me, end of story." Blazestrike growled. He then looked at Moonsky. "I'll meet you in the warrior den." He whispered. Blazestrike padded off. Darkmystery smiled at Moonsky and twined tails with her. Moonsky hissed and clawed his muzzle.
"Quite the fighter, aren't you?" Darkmystery chuckled. Moonsky then clawed his flank. Now Darkmystery was not happy. He grabbed her scuff and dragged her towards a tree. He put her down and laid down. Moonsky tried to move, but Darkmystery had good grip of her.
"Blazestrike! Help!" She squealed. Blazestrike came running out and shoved Darkmystery into the tree. The two cats fled to the warrior den and smiled.
"Night." Blazestrike meowed.
"Night Blazestrike." Moonsky purred. The two cats fell asleep.
Battle of survival

The next day, Snowstar had gathered the clan under the highrock for a meeting. The clan were happy that she had returned, but curious of where she had been the last few days. "Today we are going to welcome 2 new apprentices and 2 new warriors. First, we'll do apprentices. Can Owlkit and Cloudkit come up here please?" Snowstar meowed. Lizardeye's two kits rushed up excitedly. Fernwhisker knew they were half-bloods, but thankfully SnowClan were the only ones that knew about it.
"Until this cat has earned his warrior name, he will be known as Owlpaw. Your mentor will be Deerleap, seeing as Bubblepaw is dead. I'll give her another chance." Snowstar mewed kindly. Deerleap was over the moon and rushed up to her new apprentice. "Oh thank you Snowstar! I promise that Owlpaw will be one of the best warriors you've seen!" She explained happily. Snowstar smiled warmly and continued on. "Until this cat has earned her warrior name, she will be known as Cloudpaw. Your mentor will be Blazestrike." Blazestrike grinned and padded up to his apprentice. Snowstar smiled again. "Now, Duckfoot and Leafdew tell me their apprentices have finshed training, so can Wildpaw and Swiftpaw come here please?" The siblings rushed up, like 2 excited squirrels. "Swiftpaw and Wildpaw, do you accept the SnowClan way of life, will follow the warrior code and use it to protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!" The 2 apprentices meowed excitedly.
"Wildpaw, from this day forward, you will be known as Wildheart. StarClan honurs you for your strength and loyalty and welcomes you as a full warrior of SnowClan."
"Swiftpaw, from this day forward you will be known as Swiftlegs. StarClan honurs you for your speed and fighting skills and welcomes you as a full warrior of SnowClan." Snowstar rested her muzzle on both of their heads in turn.
"Wildheart! Swiftlegs!" The clan chanted several times.
"We also welcome Shatteredlark to the clan. She was left behind when BloodClan escaped and joined the clan." Snowstar said. "Clan dismissed." Fernwhisker glanced around. Cloudpaw was heading off into the forest. She couldn't follow, otherwise her kits would go too. She rushed up to Moonsky. "Blazestrike's apprentice has wandered off. Could you go get her?" She asked her friend. Moonsky nodded and ran after the apprentice. She then noticed she was heading towards the RainClan boarder, where her mother lived. A young tom was at the boarder and greeted the grey tabby she-cat.
"Hello Stripedpaw." Cloudpaw purred. "I'm a apprentice now."
"Thats great." The apprentice purred. He was a dark brown tabby with black stripes and cunning green eyes. Moonsky guessed they had been meeting for a few moons now, but Cloudpaw couldn't find out she was RainClan or there would be lots of trouble. Big trouble.
"So, who is your mentor?" Cloudpaw asked.
"I've got Sparrowsong! She's a great teacher, you'd like to meet her. Who do you have?" Stripedpaw meowed happily. Moonsky's heart skipped a beat. Sparrowsong was Cloudpaw's mother, unknown to the other 3 clans.
"I have Blazestrike, Fernwhisker's brother. He seems nice, but Badgerstripe told me when he was a kit he was a nightmare." Cloudpaw giggled.
"How?"
"He hated his sister and the other kits in the nuserey and caused lots of trouble."
"Oh dear."
"Well, I have to go now, I think Snowstar wants me on patrol with Blazestrike."
"Ok. Bye!" Cloudpaw started heading back to camp and Moonsky stopped her. "Hello. What are you doing at the RainClan boarder?" She asked.
"Hi Moonsky!" The apprentice chirped brightly. "I went to see Stripedpaw, my friend."
"You do realise it is against the warrior code to meet cats from other clans, right?" Moonsky mewed.
"Is it? Oh, sorry Moonsky." Cloudpaw apolgisied, looking down at her paws.
"It's ok, you don't understand the warrior code yet, but Blazestrike will teach you."
"Cool! Thanks Moonsky!" The two cats returned to camp, where Blazestrike was waiting.
"Cloudpaw, give me a few minutes, I just need to speak with Moonsky." He meowed quietly to his apprentice. Moonsky followed the tom towards a oak tree in camp. Moonsky smiled at him and rested her head on his shoulder. "You'll keep Cloudpaw safe, right? She's a good kid, full of sprit."
"Certainly." Blazestrike meowed.
"Look, I really, really like you." Moonsky whispered.
"Same." Blazestrike whispered back."
"What I'm trying to say is, I.." Moonsky was interupted by a yowl. The cats rushed out towards everyone else. "What is going on?" Moonsky asked Shadowstep.
"It's BloodClan. They've gone too far." Shadowstep meowed.
"Why?" Blazestrike asked.
"They have joined up with RainClan to declare war on SnowClan and LeafClan." Shadowstep mewed sadly. "Oceanstar and Bloodstar think they are very strong, and they also think LeafClan is weak, but seeing as SnowClan helped LeafClan to defend the RainClan attack, they have both decided to fight us all. They are only doing it for revenge and land." LeafClan cats started arriving at the SnowClan camp, with Leafstar leading them towards the group of SnowClan. "Where is Snowstar?" She asked.
"In her den, wishing not to be disturbed." Badgerstripe mummered. Suddenly, the other two clans tore through the trees, heading towards the camp.
"Attack them!" Shadowstep commanded. The four clans went into battle, hissing and yowling. Shadowstep was shouting out commands and helping apprentices fight the bigger cats. He then caught Duststorm's eye. "Can you, Riverstripe, Lizardeye and Deerleap guard the nusrery?" He asked. Duststorm nodded and dashed off with the other three cats helping him. The queens were inside, keeping
