Chapter Ten
They found Wigglekit and Kinkkit in GardenClan. When Wrenstar's patrol went into the camp, they could see the two kits being guarded by Seedstripe and Poppyfur.
Ivystar had demanded territory in exchange for the kits. Wrenstar refuses and started attacking Ivystar. Laurelflight had ran quickly back to camp and grabbed a group consisting of Harepounce, Daisypaw, Mossleap, Yellowshine, Sparkheart, Koileap, Silverclaw, Flickerpaw, Snowslash, Gingerberry, Blizzardtooth, Jaydawn, Pineclaw, Dawnpaw, Sunnypaw, Frostpaw, Mousepaw, and Cloudpaw.
This left only Blackpool, Lavenderlight, Shadepaw, Berrypaw, Pigeonpaw, Cherrypaw, Icepaw, Lilacice, and Goldenbreeze in camp.
Pigeonpaw, Icepaw, and Shadepaw all went out to hunt.
Berrypaw was bored. He hadn't been able to leave camp the whole day, and he would probably end up scaring away all of the prey if he tried to hunt.
Goldenbreeze was in her den and Lavenderlight was in the nursery comforting Lilacice.
So Berrypaw just sat there awkwardly with Cherrypaw and Blackpool, none of them eager to be the first one to speak.
Suddenly, cats burst into the camp entrance. Berrypaw recognizes that scent.
CliffClan.
Berrypaw leapt up and let out a yowl. They were greatly outnumbered.
It was 11 against 6.
Berrypaw attacked a white she-cat that he recognized as Snowpaw.
Right as he was starting to gain an advantage over the apprentice, a dark brown blur knocked the russet tom over.
Marshpaw.
Berrypaw tried to fight against them as best as he could, but his chances were even lower when Silverwind joined in.
Silverwind knocked Berrypaw to the ground, winding him. The last thing Berrypaw saw before he blacked out was Silverwind's paw crashing into his head.

The LeapClan cats staggered into camp, most covered in scratches and bleeding.
Flickerpaw had claw marks across on side of their flank that were bleeding heavily. They were concerned as their gaze swept the empty camp, some spots in the camp having wet blood.
"W-what happened here?" Gingerberry meowed.
Pineclaw set Wigglekit down from where the kit was on his back, and raced to the nursery.
"LILACICE! LILACICE, WHERE ARE YOU?" He cried.
Kinkkit and Wigglekit scrambled up to their father, looking at him nervously.
Wrenstar lashes her tail. "I bet this was CliffClan's fault! I order that we should attack them next night fall!"
"Wrenstar, are you sure this is the best idea? None of us are in the right physical state to be fighting so soon," protested Fawnpounce.
"I suggest you close your muzzle right now," growled Wrenstar.
Fawnpounce sent one last glance at Wrenstar before he helped the more injured cats into the medicine cat den.
Harepounce and Daisypaw stared at the torn, mixed, and trampled herbs.
"Flickerpaw, Frostpaw, Sunnypaw, and Mousepaw, go out and try to find some marigold and cobwebs. Daisypaw will go with you. Cloudpaw and Dawnpaw, grab the small amount of cobwebs we have here and try to patch up some of the more badly injured cats to stop the bleeding," Harepounce ordered.
The apprentices did as they were told, Flickerpaw sticking close to Frostpaw, afraid that at any moment a CliffClan or GardenClan patrol would attack them.
Flickerpaw and their group were just heading back to camp with the marigold when they ran into a frightened cat.
"H-help! Th-they attacked us when we were hunting. H-he's hurts really bad. I-I-Icepaw managed to save us, b-but they already got to him!" The male apprentice spluttered.
"Mousepaw, Flickerpaw, and I will go and try to find out what's happening. Daisypaw and Sunnypaw will take these back to camp," ordered Frostpaw.
Daisypaw and Sunnypaw zoomed back to camp.
"Now," Frostpaw meowed to the stuttering apprentice. "Lead the way, Pigeonpaw."
