A lightly colored blue-furred tom stood uncertainly in front of the camp entrance, shifting his weight first to one paw and then the other. It was Brambleclaw that spotted him first.
We're under attack!!!! he yowled as he raced up the hill. Falconwing watched him intently and leaped to the side as Brambleclaw got close. Brambleclaw whipped out as he sailed past him and knocked him off his feet. Falconwing staggered to his feet and spread them firmly as Brambleclaw leaped onto him. The clan began filing out of their respective dens, jaws stretched wide with yawns. Fireflower stumbled out of the nursery, sleepily watching the battle with bleary eyes. Then the scene before her began to register and she leaped to defend her mate.
Brightbeam peeked out from the nursery entrance. Suddenly, she went stock-still, staring up at the newcomer. She shook herself from her frozen position and ripped up the slope, ignoring everything but fury. She quickly reached the top and flung Brambleclaw through the air. He slammed brutally into the bramble wall and crumpled to the ground. Brightbeam crouched over her mate and spat "I lost my mate once. That was enough. I will NEVER lose him again." Fireflower's expression changed from venomous wrath to shock. Your mate... Brightbeam's expression was joyous. He survived... Brightbeam led her mate to the nursery and no one tried to stop her.
