Lionclaw pdded up to Wolfheart. "Lets just hope Mellowhearts followers don't come any sooner than I think." He said.

Wolfheart nodded.
~~~
Star, Shine and bark gathered Mellowheart's other followers, who were indeed wild dogs. They howled and grinned at their challange.

Lionclaws ears pricked. "Wolfheart..I heard dogs." He jumped.

Wolfheart pricked his ears. " I don't hear anything.."
~~~
The Wild Dog's howled, Shine, Star and Bark grinned. " Attack!" the commanded.

Lionclaw jumped. "Wolfheart run!" He howled. His ears heard things a little better now.

Wolfheart jumped and ran back to camp, he had to warn Branchstar.
~~~
Branchstar slept soundly.

( *Tears Start* Get ready..)

(nooooo! *crying*)


Lionclaw ran

~~~~~~

Robinheart pricked her ears up. Battle! Her head screamed. She hid that kits and growled.

~~~~~

Meadowshire heard Lionclaw. She guessed what was going to happen. She braced herself.

( It must happen.. get ready *Bawling* )

Wolfheart yowled to Branchstar. " Dogs! Attacking!"
~~~
Branchstar snapped awake.
~~~
The Wild Dogs moved in, one went for Branchstar, one for Lionclaw and one for Robinheart.

(*sobbing*)



Lionclaw barred his teeth and pounced. He bit into the dogs neck. His claws sunk into its waist.

The dog flipped Lionclaw onto the ground, no mercy. He growled.
~~~
The Wild Dog who went for Robinheart, poked into the nursery.
~~~
One dog went for Branchstar, baring his teeth he lunged.
~~~
Branchstar growled and dodged, a snarl ripped through him.

(Branchstar will die noble and brave. :( )

Robinheart shreiked. She bit into its tail, a half fell off. She climbed up and sunk her claws in its spine and tightened.

~~~~

Lionclaw used his move and kicked the dogs stomach making it flipped. He Growled and bite the dogs stomach.

The dog yelped and the dog's strength slowly ebbed away.
~~~
The dog shrieked and growled, biting Lionclaw.
~~~
Branchstar growled and the dog lunged again, Branchstar didn't have time to dodge.

Lionclaw dodge and bite the dogs throat.

~~~

Robinheart watched the dog die and raced to see if her two kits were o.k.

The dog yelped and slowly died.
~~~
Branchstar yowled for Lionclaw. " LIONCLAW!" He yowled. He wanted to say 'good-bye'

Lionclaw raced over. "No, Branchstar! Not yet!" He yowled and lunged for Brancchstar, throwing the dog out of the way.

Branchstar blinked. " StarClan is calling me, take care of the.. clan.." Branchstar murmured and went to StarClan.. he lied to Lionclaw, he only had one life left.

Lionclaw yelped in despair. He let out a ferice yowl. "Branchstar!" He cried. "You can't leave me." He sat there.

Branchstar lay limp, he was gone.
~~~
Wolfheart yowled and rushed over. " No, it can't be.." He murmured, tears sprang to his eyes.
~~~
Branchpaw layed in his den, not allowed to help.

Lionclaw became tearful. He turned to face Shine, star and Bark. He growled and barred his teeth.

Shine, Star and Bark grinned in unison. " Whats the little kitty gonna do?" They taunted.
~~~
Branchpaw wanted to help so bad, he bounded out and pinned Star to the ground.
~~~
Wolfheart gasped in surprise, was he seeing a mini-Branchstar?

Lionclaw gasped, then hissed. He pinned down Bark and bite his throat.

Bark pawwed feebly at Lionclaw, as Mellowheart had.
~~~
Branchpaw growled deeply and bite Star's tail, which sent her running. " Retreat!" She yowled.
~~~
Shine ran off behind Star, Bark kicked Lionclaw off, running.

Lionclaw crashed to the ground, but then recovered. He stood up and looked at Wolfheart. "I-I guess I-I am leader." He said.

Wolfheart nodded. " Lionstar, I believe your right." Wolfheart said.
~~~
Branchpaw was not one to be ignored. " Heelloo? I'm still here!" He meowed.

Lionclaw looked at Branchpaw. Then looked at Wolfheart smiling. "Maybe Branchstar didn't leave us." He said.
