The night was dark and a crescent moon, thin as a claw, was perched high in the navy white-dotted night sky. Many cats of ThornClan were creeping to the Sunningrocks. Other cats' eyes appeared on the other side of the border. When a silent signal went off from the deputy, herself, the cats leaped at each other, wrestling and clawing at each other. Suddenly a black tom stood in front of Featherfrost in an aggressive pose; his teeth were bared, his neck fur was rising, and his amber eyes glowed with the fury of battle. Featherfrost tackled the tom, clawing at his face, then suddenly, she raked her thorn-sharp claws along the enemy's eye and one of his amber eyes fell out of its socket. A loud and panicked yowl, filled with pain, from the enemy came from him and he was running around, trying to find his way with only one eye remaining. "Nightstripe!" yowled a CreekClan cat. Suddenly, a bracken-colored tom tackled Birchstar successfully, and raked his claws on Birchstar's body until he had killed him.
"Father!"
The words echoed out of the dream and Featherstar found that her claws were unsheathed and she had dug a small hole in her moss bed. She then looked around to see if anyone was watching. "Thank StarClan no one saw that, but what if they heard me?" Featherstar said to herself. "No, Featherstar. Don't think of Birchstar's death. You are still haunted by the memory."
But the thought still made Featherstar angry. I hate you, Oakear, but I am glad you have been killed, Featherstar thought bitterly.
