A brown tom settled down in rest in a patch of sunlight as the sun began to lift higher into the sky.

He sighed, stretching out onto his back, having to squint at the light.

"Toad!" A call from the bushes behind him made him jump to his paws.

"Toad!" The voice sounded again as the cat appeared from the bushes.

"Yes, Raven?" He meowed nervously.

"There you are! Are you meeting up with Shadeberry today?" She asked, stepping closer.

Toad hesitated before nodding. His sister should be seeing him tonight to discuss the plan even further.

"Good. Ask her to let Tawnyfrost know about the plan," she ordered, before backing away into the bushes again.

Toad sighed, wishing he hadn't been caught attacking his mentor. His claws slid out at the thought of Ashstar finding him.

"That fox-heart better sleep with one eye open!" He snarled to himself.

"Who?" Moon's interested meow sounded, and Toad turned to face the pretty white she cat.

"Ashstar." Toad didn't bother lying. 

"Is he the one who exiled you?" Moon asked, stepping to stand beside him,

Toad nodded.

Moon grinned, "Don't worry, when we attack, you can kill him. We will all leave him to you." She purred, pausing to face Toad. 

She rubbed her muzzle against his, and he took in her sweet scent.

"Can I come with you to meet Shadeberry?" She questioned after a while, staring at his with soft blue eyes.

"Of course!" Toad answered happily.

"I wonder what that she cat Mothsight is doing.." she muttered after a few moments, laying down and starting to groom her ears.

"Mothsight?" Toad repeated. "The black she cat?"

"Yes! That's her, I helped her live. Don't tell anyone." She whispered.

"I won't, she is doing fine, I'm sure she remembers you. But she is a good cat unlike us. You may have to attack her."

"I wouldn't!" She gasped, pausing to bite off a flea.

Toad shrugged. "If you let her go, cats will class you as unloyal."

.~~.

Tod and Moon padded through the forest, on their way to the abandoned badger den, where the rival cats would meet. It was outside of ThunderClan territory, and near the monster gathering.

The monster gathering was a wide place where monsters sat together for a while. Their eyes turned dark and they made no noise at all. But when the two legs got in, a click sounded and their eyes began to glower and they made a rumble noise as they began to crawl away.

Toad quickened their pace, worrying as the moon rose even higher. Shadeberry would be waiting.

Her excuse was to be out collecting herbs, although no cat knew where. They assumed in their own territory, but they were wrong.

"There you are! Who's that?" Shadeberry began to bristle at the strange cat who dipped her head politely.

"I'm Moon. I can help you murder the Clans." She meowed calmly.

Shadeberry narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, I'm RavenClan." She quickly added, and Shadeberry sighed in relief.

"Okay. Let's get on with it." Toad suggested.

"Alright. You should tell everyone there to help be trained by more experienced cats in the day  and dark forest in the night. Darkthorn told me they could, and he told me they could help us attack the Clans too." Shadeberry noted.

"Good. We'll tell them when we get back. Maybe a moons worth of that and then we could do the attack." Toad purred, flicking his tail-tip excitedly.

Shadeberry nodded. "Moon, any ideas?" 

She shook her head slowly. "I'm not the best at ideas." She admitted, looking away from Shadeberry's challenging glare.

"Okay then. Meet me here at half moon, let me know how everything is going." Shadeberry ordered before turning her tail and trotting off.

"Let's get back to camp." Moon meowed, beginning to walk.

"Maybe we can hunt for a while instead?" Toad suggested hopefully. His stomach rumbled.

"Alright then." Moon purred in amusement.
