Cats, both WingClan and The Band of Rogue Shadows, rush around me. In seconds fighting breaks out and in all the commotion, I have to fly up a little to see better. Not many cats from The Band of Rogue Shadows are in camp, but I see Nightshade sneering at me from behind her minions. Glancing around in horror, I yell, "STOP THIS!!!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"

The cats below me don't listen and continue fighting. Nightshade flaps her wings to join me up in the air. She blasts me with a quick, sharp blast of air from her wings that makes me fly backwards into a tree. The air is wrenched from my lungs and I fall to the ground, coughing. In a daze, I stand up only to see a black ball of fur fly into me, knocking me back down on the ground.

Eyes glaring into mine, she pins me to the ground and demands, "Give me what I want, and I'll let your clan go! I want your clan and more power!"

Nightshade then abruptly gets up and shouts, "We're leaving! This is your final warning WingClan!"

The attacking cats get up and leave, and just like that, we're back to normal. Almost. Hollyspeck's fur is still puffed up and her glare is even more intense. We are all ruffled, but she looks murderous.

I walk over to her to hear her whisper, "This WASN'T the plan!" under her breath. It's so faint that I almost think that I heard her wrong-perhaps she didn't say anything at all-but nevertheless I choose to inquire of her.

"What plan?"

Looking murderously nervous, she replies, "I was going to band together an attack party just now so we could show them who's boss, but obviously we can't do that now!"

Skeptical, I reply with a simple, "Ok. But remember that we don't solve problems that way. Maybe now an attack would be justified, but before, they had hardly done anything to us."

Hollyspeck backs up a little, raising her voice. "'Hardly done anything to us?!' ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THEY'VE DONE AS MUCH AS THEY POSSIBLY COULD IN THE TIME SPAN THEY'VE HAD!!!! I DON'T GIVE A CRAP THAT THEY USED TO BE MY FAMILY, THEY BETRAYED ME AND TREATED ME LIKE I'M WORTHLESS! THEY NEED TO BE PUNISHED, AND I SAY THAT WE SHOULD ATTACK THEM BEFORE THEY DO ANYMORE DAMAGE!!!"

My clanmates notice her raised voice, and start to pay attention to Hollyspeck. I even see some nods of agreement.

"LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO SIT AROUND AND TRY TO MAKE PEACE WITH THEM, BE MY GUEST!" Hollyspeck is clearly making a scene and I'm not sure why. I am suspicious of her, but I'm not sure yet what to do. "BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE, THEN JOIN ME! TOMORROW I AM GOING TO THEM AND SHOWING THEM WHO'S IN CHARGE! I'M SICK OF IT, AND IT WILL END TOMORROW! ANYONE WILLING TO JOIN ME, MEET ME HERE TOMORROW MORNING!"

Cats start yowling in approval. I hear chanting from all around me, and suddenly, the world starts to spin. My head collides with the snow as I pass out from exhaustion and stress, the world gradually turning black.

I'm back from my long writing hiatus!!!! I'm glad to be back, and I really am sorry for being a butt and not updating in forever. I try, I really do, but as you can see, I'm bad at consistently updating. You are probably tired of reading these.....ok anyway, yay! I'm hoping to get this story moving further along and faster soon, so stay tuned for more!
