Chapter Two.

  Ghostflame and the other warriors were running as fast as they could when a badger ran right into their path.

Fur bristled and hackles raised, Ghostflame rocked his haunches in the ferns preparing to pounce.

He jumped on the badger and sunk his thorn sharp claws and razor sharp teeth into it. Longtail and Darkstripe ran over to the badger and brought it down with Ghoststorm. Mousefur went up to it, and sunk her teeth into its neck. 

  After the badger ran away, the warriors moved on and finally scented ShadowClan.

"This way!" Ghostflame yowled. "No, I don't think so." Longtail replied with a hiss.

"I'm pretty sure it's this way. I agree with Ghostf;ame." Mouesfur hissed back to Longtail. "Fine." Longtail sighed. The ThunderClan warriors kept moving until they spotted two dark figures moving in the distance.

"What's that?" Darkstripe growled. "I'm guessing...." Ghostflame's voice trailed off as a huge dark tabby warrior ran into him and sunk his claws in Ghostflame's back. "Ghostflame!" Mouefur screeched, making the attacked look up at her with pale yellow eyes. "Mousefur?" the dark tabby asked, moving slowly off of Ghostflame."Why do you want to know who she is?" Darkstripe hissed at the dark attacker. "I'm Tigerstar, leader of ShadowClan, formerly Tigerclaw of Thunderclan." he hissed back. The ThunderClan warriors got up with arched backs and raised hackles. "You traitor!" Longtail hissed, his long tail swaying aggressively. "Yes, I am Mousefur. Now why did you attack us and why are you on our territory!" Mousefur growled, unsheathing her claws. "Don't attack!" Tigerstar yowled arching his back. "Why shouldn't we?" Ghostflame asked with a hiss. "You would never attack Tigerstar." a white tom with jet black paws growled, appearing from the shadows. "And why wouldn't we?" Darkstripe asked. "Because I am Marshstar's father." Tigerstar interrupted. The ThunderClan warriors sat down, looking defeated but still had unsheathed claws and raised hackles. "You're whose father?" Longtail asked, looking very confused. "Marshstar's you mouse-brain." Tigerstar hissed back. Ghostflame sat up, only a mouse-length away from Tigerstar's muzzle. "That means that you are Bluedawn's father too." he gasped. "Yes. Yes I am actually. Although, she was always afraid to called me her father." Tigerstar hissed. "Ha, I wonder why?" Darkstripe looked at the dark ShadowClan leader. 

  The white tom with huge jet black paws walked up. "I'm Blackfoot. Tigerstar's deputy." he meowed calmly.

"Wonder why he picked such an ugly cat!" Mousefur's mew rang. "Mousefur, stop." Ghostflame hissed.

Darkstripe and Longtail walked up. "We'll fight you if you don't leave our territory." Longtail snarled, his claws still unsheathed. Quickly, Tigerstar and Blackfoot ran into the bramble, crossing the border until they reached the Thunderpath. Slowly they waited for a monster to pass then ran across the Thunderpath.
