Chapter 7

Moonlight grinned, ignoring the darkness and the two foxes that surrounded them. "Great!" she said cheerfully, feeling better than she had ever felt in the past three moons. "Right, let's stop talking now, we still have these foxes to defeat!"

As the two battled with the foxes, eyes gleaming with a new determination that neither of them had ever experienced before, they realized that being in the clan had truly changed them, and it was not for the better. The two met, pelt to pelt, and scratched the wits out of the other two creatures, and they turned to each other, grinning as the foxes fled. "We did it!" Sunshadow exclaimed. "Yup," Moonlight said, beaming proudly at her brother. "Thank you," she said, suddenly remembering to thank him. "For staying, I mean. You could have stayed with Lightpelt in the ruined camp, but you stayed with me. Thank you."

Sunshadow smiled. "Of course I stayed with you," he said. "You're my sister, and you're more important to  me than any other cat, I promise." Moonlight nudged her brother. "Of course I knew that," she said. "Now, how about finding a place to stay the night?"

Chapter 6

Sunshadow clenched his teeth together. "Mouse dung!" he spat. "First the whole clan dies, and now this! What's next?" Moonlight narrowed her eyes. Her brother usually was calm and quiet, and she couldn't stand what he had become now. "Shut up!" she said. "What's happened has happened! Now we just have to fight these foxes, right? So shut up and let's fight!"
Sunshadow glared. "But how can we keep on living now? We're loners again, can't you tell!?"
Moonlight growled, as the clouds behind her flashed with lightning. "That doesn't matter anymore! Being in DarkClan changed you, and I don't know if that's a good thing or not now. But it doesn't matter! Do you want to fight or not? Do you want to live or not?

"If you want to live, then fight with me! I hardly know who you are, Sunshadow, I-" The gray warrior choked, and no more words came out. She looked down at her paws in shame. "I..."
Sunshadow padded forwards so that he was standing next to his sister. "I'm sorry," he said, pressing his nose into her fur. "But I still can't believe this. So much tragedy....."

The brown cat straightened up. "But I will fight," he vowed. "From now on, we are once again loners, and we will fight!"

Chapter 5

Moonlight and Sunshadow ran as fast as their legs could carry them through the forest, rain pouring down on them, lighting striking in the distance. Every second they could hear the loud clap of thunder, which startled them greatly. Moonlight stopped. "Wait," she said, her eyes tracking down Sunshadow's mangled and bloody pelt, then dashed into a bush, looking for the correct herbs to help her brother. "No," he said. "That'll only slow us down. Let's keep running."

Moonlight sighed, but nodded. "Fine," she said. "But you'll get infections if you run around like this." For a moment, the tom's eyes went dull, then his head snapped up. "Lightpelt felt worse," he choked. "She died." This made his sister silent, and they both slowly started to run again. After a few moments, they stopped, not because of Sunshadow nor his sister. Blocking their path were two red foxes....
