Owlstar stared at the black she-cat brought to him, pondering why this cat was spying on his dawn patrol. Was it something to do with a cat on the patrol? Was it a planned ambush? Was it simply an accident? Owlstar pushed that last thought away; it would never be an accident if two cats were on his territory without reason and trying to hide from the patrol.

"How did you know I was there?" Scorchheart hissed at Hawkeyes, who was standing with the rest of the patrol in front of Owlstar in the OakClan camp, explaining what happened with the CloudClan spies.

"Before we went on our dawn patrol, I saw you and Smallpelt crossing our border and into our territory. I also heard you two arguing when we were closer to where you were." Hawkeyes answered stiffly.

Scorchheart remained speechless; this cat was difficult to get past without being seen or heard. Featherstar would have difficulty recruiting the dark ginger warrior.

"Where's Smallpelt?" Owlstar asked, glancing around the camp.

"She managed to escape; she fits her name well, being small enough to escape the holly bush before we could stop her." Hawkeyes responded.

"She's lucky she's not with you fish-brains!" Scorchheart hissed, giving some of the other OakClan cats a chilling glare.

Hawkeyes tried to remain as calm as she could; the dark ginger she-cat heard a small voice in her head, urging her to lash out at Scorchheart. I'm not going to do that. StarClan would not want me to, Hawkeyes silently argued against the meowing of the StarClan cat in her thoughts.

"I suppose we would be fish-brains, if we hadn't found two mouse-brains on our territory." The dark ginger warrior flicked her tail towards the CloudClan warrior in front of her.

The black she-cat was going to protest, but Owlstar flicked his tail to end the meeting.

"I think we have heard enough, Hawkeyes. No need to start a battle between one CloudClan she-cat and our whole Clan." The OakClan leader meowed.

Hawkeyes dipped her head in understanding. "Where will she stay? As a captive or back to her Clan?" She asked.

"Back to her territory would be best, but I figure we should take extra care to keep trespassers off our territory." Owlstar answered, flicking his tail at Scorchheart.

Hawkeyes dipped her head again, then she led the escort party to the CloudClan camp.
