Waterblaze dodged and slammed Spiritheart to the ground with a heavy paw to her neck. Willowstar shoved him away, dragging Spiritheart by the scruff to stand behind her to protect her if he attacked again. "Enough!" She yowled. There was an eerie silence. Every cat that wasnt on patrol had gathered around to watch the commotion, even the kits curiously poked thier heads out of the nursery to see what the noise was about. "Sunstorm, Rippleheart, guard him" She commanded with a glare at Waterblaze. "Spiritheart I need to see you in my den."

Willowstar curled her tail around her paws, and stared at Spiritheart. "You are my deputy and have as much say in this as I do." She bagan. "Should we keep him in the clan?"

She pondered the thought. "I agree we should gve him a second chance because he's only just been brought into the clan, but I think we should give him more warrior duties to prove he is loyal to his clan, but he must be guarded at all times." Willowstar meowed.

Willowstar thought for a moment. "That might be risky after what just happened..."

"I understand," Willowstar said, twitching her ears uneasily. "If you insist, you may guard Waterblaze. But, I think we should have a clan meeting about this." With a nod to Spiritheart, Willowstar leaped onto the Oak. "Let all cats old enough to catch thier own prey gather here beneath the Oak." She yowled into the clearing. Cats began to assemble under the oak, looking up at Willowstar with curious eyes. Waterblaze stayed where he was on the side of camp, claws still unsheathed, fur bristled, staring up at the Frostclan leader with hateful, glaring eyes.

"We all saw what happened." Willowstar began, sweeping her gaze over the clearing, nodding towards Waterblaze. The clan was silent. "We have decided to give him another chance instead of sending him into exile," yet Willowstar thought coldly. "And weve decided that he shall be put on extra warrior duties and must have at least two guards at all times until further notice. Are there any questions?"the clan was still silent, looking wide up eyed at the Oak. "I call this meeting to a close." Willowstar said with a nod leaping off of the Oak. She padded over to Spiritheart. "Which other warrior would you like to guard Waterblaze with you?" Willowstar meowed.

Willowstar twitched her whiskers uneasily. "I think we should wait a while to let her get back to and refresh her warrior duties. I think we shouldnt have two permanent guards but switch off every sunrise. What do you think?"

Willowstar padded back to her den and fell asleep. It had been a long day.

Waterblaze let out a frustrated snarl and whipped around, fur bristled, turning his back to Spiritheart.

Willowstar sat watching, prepared if necessary to interfere.

Swanpaw watched with wide eyes sparkling with pride at her mentor.

Waterblaze scored his claws across Nightstorms face. "Try that again Fox-heart!" he sneered.

Swanpaw gasped and ran up to Waterblaze. "Never touch my mentor again!" she yowled in his face.

Waterblaze batted Swanpaw away roughly, then whipped around to face Spiritheart. "Why do you care?!" he spat. "Your nothing but cowards! I'd love to see you lay another claw on me," Waterblaze growled. "This would be too easy." He sneering, slamming her to the ground, jaws stretching towards her throat.

Willowstar gasped in alarm and leaped over to where Waterblaze had Spiritheart pinned down. "Get off her- " Se began to yowl, but she was cut off as Waterblaze stretched out a free paw to slash at her throat, leaving drops of scarlet scattered on the sandy floor of the clearing.

"Excellent!" Dawnfire praised. "Your first catch!"

"Wildstar died." Emberglow said grimly, her head bowed.

Sunstorm rushed over to Willowstar, Nightstorm, Spiritheart, and Swanpaw, and lashed out with his claws as Waterblaze. He swatted him aside, but out of fury, he rose to his paws and leaped at him, bowling him over.

Swanpaw lay motionless on the sandy clearing. She let out a weak, feeble cough as she struggled to heave herself to her feet.

Willowstar wouldnt go down without a fight. She leaped onto Waterblaze, struggling to throw him off of Spiritheart. Finally, he let go and whipped around to face her. He said nothing, but let out a long furious hiss. "Swanpaw, Spiritheart, go to Nightstorm to get your wounds checked." Willowstar ordered, not taking her cautious eyes off of Waterblaze. Silently she added to Spiritheart, "I dont want you on guard duty until your wounds are healed." She turned back to Waterblaze, who glared after the cats heading towards the medicine den. " Why." Willowstar asked coldly, claws still unsheathed. "Dont ask me, ask that fox-heart you call a medicine cat!" he retorted. Willowstar gave up. There was no reasoning with him. Willowstar let out a disgusted snort and whipped around, heading towards her den. She turned her head around to look at him, mid-step. "All I know, is if you touch another one of the cats of my clan, i'll kill you myself."

((I PMed you))

Emberglow sat silently watching Ivypelt pace back and forth. "What do we do know?" She whispered worriedly.

"Do you want to head back to camp or keep patrolling?" Dawnfire asked.

Emberglow's eyes widened with surprise. "Ivypelt im honored but...why me?" she gasped.

Emberglow shook away the anxiety, embracing her new responsibility as leader of Plantclan. "I sware to care for this clan until my last breath." She vowed.

Willowstar gave Spiritheart a questioning glance.

"Not tonight your not." Willowstar meowed, glancing up to the sky. There was only the last dim rays of sun left, and the moon was low in the sky. "You need to get your wounds treated. He's obviously hostile right now, and I dont want you to guard him until dawn, at least."
