----

Thunder rumbled in the distance. Copperpaw heaved the brambles onto the nursery, patting them down into the thick bush. She shook out her fur as multiple leaves rained down on her from above.

"Featherpaw! What are you doing?!" Copperpaw yowled, looking up at her sibling. Featherpaw was up in a tree, weaving brambles and brances to form walls.

"Making a new den!" She called back, "It's gonna be so cool!"

"Featherpaw, we don't need another-"

"I told her to." Hermitstar's calm meow made Copperpaw shiver. She spun around and faced the leader.

"We needed a place where kits could play and elders could rest. It's a spare den. Don't worry, though, Pinefall is up there with her."

Copperpaw's fur bushed in alarm when she heard a squeak of pain from Featherpaw.

"Everything's fine! I just got a thorn in my paw." Featherpaw called, hobbling down the tree carefully.
Copperpaw could see the tree was slanted, making it easy to scramble up and down the thick trunk.

"You better get that checked out by Aledwish and Azaleastep." Copperpaw stuck to her sibling's side all the way across the clearing. She jumped as thunder boomed yet again, and the sky flashed with lightning.

"D'you think it's gonna be a dry storm?" Copperpaw asked, shaking her fur.

"Maybe. It hasn't rained yet." Featherpaw mumbled, pushing past the vines to the medicine cat's den.

Emberpaw was busy sorting herbs near the stone shelves.

"Where are Aledwish and Azaleastep?" Copperpaw looked around the empty den.

"They're out gathering herbs, and should be back soon." They didn't lift their head, busy with the various plants.
When the warrior apprentices didn't leave, they hissed quietly and turned to them.

"What do you want?"

"Featherpaw got a thorn in her pad."

Emberpaw sighed. They beckoned Featherpaw forwards and sat her down. Copperpaw silently slipped out of the den, knowing her presence would be unhelpful.

A battle cry sounded from the entrance to camp. Copperpaw's fur stood on end when she saw countless cats racing into camp.

Rogues!

HermitClan warriors were already begining to fight them, grappling with the rogues and clawing at them.
Copperpaw saw a fit, young rogue bounding toward her and hissed.

I won't lose another sibling!

Forestshade yelped as a burning branch collapsed beside her. The camp was ringed with fire, sizzling and cracking.

All around her, the invaders were ruthlessly attacking her Clan. Forestshade leaped at a nearby tom, pushing him away with her hind legs. The tom scrambled to his paws and ducked under her, nipping her hind legs.
Forestshade yowled and pummeled his back with her claws. The tom backed away and reared, ready to drop down on her, but she was quicker and sent him flying with a headbutt to the stomache.

Forestshade's fur bristled. She was suddenly pinned against a wall by a large cat with patches of skin missing.
Their one eye glittered with rage in the dancing light of fire.

They raised one of their paws, white claws shimmering.
They snarled, a vicious grin plastered on their face.

"Goodbye, Forestpaw."
