Just as planned by Hollyspeck, cats gather at sunrise the next day. Sunlight glittering off my fur, I sit at the entrance to my den, looking at the vast amount of individuals that have decided to join Hollyspeck. Almost everyone in WingClan is congregated in front of Hollyspeck, who tries to hide a sly grin.

The appearance of Tempestclaw in the corner of my eye distracts me for a second. I look at him, knowing full well that he does not agree with Hollyspeck's plan along with me.

His voice regretful, he whispers to me. "That devil seems to have gotten her way."

I nod, my eyes lingering on him just for a second longer then reaching Hollyspeck again. She notices me staring her down, and narrows her eyes back at me.

"Do you know if she's planning anything bad?" I somberly inquire. "And remind me again why the whole of WingClan trusts her plan more than me, especially since we all know Hollyspeck isn't worth trusting anymore?"

"I don't know. I keep an eye on her, but have never figured out if her loyalties aren't to WingClan."

I flick my tail in distrust. "Well, I figure that maybe this time we can get her to crack. We shouldn't just keep our eyes on her,' we need to figure out why she's in WingClan. She obviously has ulterior motives. I'm thinking we go along with her plan of attacking The Band of Rogue Shadows but in the middle of the fight you and I should corner her and demand answers, maybe taking one of the members of The Band of Rogue Shadows captive and using them to get answers."

Tempestclaw eyes the growing crowd in front of us. "I agree. Then it's a plan."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After making it known to the clan that this "mission" is approved and will be joined by yours truly, Hollyspeck leads the way out of camp. Trekking up mountainous trails and rocky terrain, we make our way to TBRS' camp. No noise lingers on the mountain tops, just the sound of whipping wind and footsteps. It's quiet, almost too quiet.

Just when I'm about to say something about how eerily quiet it is, Hollyspeck yells, "NOW!" into the air, and cats burst from the snow.

I have just enough time to whisper, "it was a trap," when a reddish tabby tom with amber eyes and a white she-cat with blue eyes and grey patches pounce on me. We tackle each other on land then they grab hold of me and burst upwards toward the air. Snarling, I wrench myself from their grip and kick at them. They easily dodge my attack and whip their wings around, creating a giant gust of air and making me fly backwards. When I regain my balance, I see Nightshade and Hollyspeck coming towards me. The two attacking cats flap their wings, and fly in a circle around me, causing me to be caught in some sort of vortex that makes it impossible to move. I cry out, realizing that the only thing that is keeping me in the air is the vortex from the cats; I'm locked in place and have no way of escaping.

"That's enough Pine and Ferret," Nightshade dismisses them with a flick of her tail. Pine and Ferret let go of me in an instant, and I fall a short distance before I can flap my wings to reach the altitude of Nightshade.

My fur rising on edge, I snarl, "HOLLYSPECK, YOU FOX-HEART! HOW DARE YOU LEAD US INTO A TRAP! I'M TIRED OF YOUR GAMES, WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON?!"

Hollyspeck rushes toward me. Her whiskers touching mine, she meows, "I'm done with your pathetic clan. I want my true home back, even if they find it hard to accept me."

Nightshade growls, "No, Hollyspeck, you've done a fine job. WingClan will now hand over what is rightfully mine or the snow will be littered with red today."

"I will do nothing for you!" I hiss at Nightshade. "You are clueless aren't you?! You think attacking us more will make us break? Since you seem too dumb to figure it out-sister-I'll just have to spell it out for you! We will NEVER give in!"

"Don't ever call me that!" Nightshade uses her wings to give her leverage as she kicks me to the ground below. Cats scatter as I hit the ground with a thud.

These cats are strong, I think to myself. They fight with their wings, using the wind and air as an advantage. Unlike clan warriors, who fight with more integrity, learning ground and air techniques, none of which are as dirty as those of TBRS' techniques.

My sister and clanmate fall the ground in style and lift me up in the air again. I fight them, but they are too strong to overcome. My clanmates below as well as our opponents, fall silent as Nightshade calls out to the crowd. "Today, I am done waiting! WingClan is mine, and now to prove that, you are all going to witness the execution of your leader!"

No one makes a noise and no one moves. Everyone is too shocked to make any rational decision of what to do. Tempestclaw stares at me, his eyes full of horror. I wriggle around, but Hollyspeck's claws dig deeper into me as I struggle more. I look back at her and see the slightest hint of apprehension.

"You are all welcome to join me, whether it be by yourself or force. Those who do not agree to join me will be my prisoners and will be treated accordingly," My sister declares.

Tears rush to my eyes as I look at Tempestclaw. How could I have been so stupid to not realize that it was a trap?

"No!" I cry out. "Don't cave in! Keep fighting for your rights and you will win! Run away from the enemy if needed, or do what Hollyspeck once said-even if she's a traitor now! Fight for what you believe in and you will succeed! I refuse to die today!"

I dig my claw into Nightshade and Hollyspeck and push, trying to get away. I flap my winds indignantly, hitting the backs of them, and I twist my head back and bite Nightshade's paw. She quickly lets go with that paw and hits my face with it, motioning to Hollyspeck.

"Wonderful last words," she says flatly, letting go of me. Hollyspeck holds me very tightly. My struggles are in vain; for some reason, those two are just so strong.

Nightshade raises her paw, claws fully out. Her claws shine and a bloodthirsty look passes her face.

But something happens.

Something I would never have guessed would happen.

Just as Nightshade swipes her claw down, Hollyspeck pushes me downward and barrels into Nightshade.

The details and rest of the story is my idea, but I felt I needed to point out that this specific part of the story isn't entirely my idea.
