She could feel their eyes on her, the excited bloodlust that permeated the night air. No crickets chirped, no bats fluttered through the air, the only sounds that filled the quiet being the gentle rattle of dried-out leaves as they tried to escape dying trees. She leaned heavily against the walls of the bottleneck, bags under her mint green eyes. Even still, the deputy had a proud aura radiating from her despite how weak she was. Despite the grief weighing down on her heart. "You've come to take our territory, have you not? For food, I presume?"

She chuckled softly, the sound eerily empty. "I have heard the dogs bark from your territory. One day, while I was on patrol, one crossed the Thunderpath and killed our last apprentice. Then it was hit by a monster," she recalled, casting her eyes upward at the canopy of rattling leaves. Through them, she could see Silverpelt. She had always believed in StarClan so firmly, her faith never wavering. What had ThunderClan done? Why had their ancestors forsaken them and left them to starve and die? Why did they let her will preserve long enough to see so many of her clanmates fall?

It was then that the bony deputy got to her feet, form shaking. Still, she held her chin high and her tail straight, ever the prideful ThunderClanner. "This territory has no prey to give. What few birds we have hunted have long since fled, and even then you bulky ShadowClanners could never hunt them," she spat. As her tail began to lash, the lilac point bared her teeth and unsheathed her claws. "What few are left may be weak, may be dying, but we are not cowards. We are ThunderClan, and we will not give up without a fight," she announced. Then, the tall ThunderClan deputy hurtled with speed that rivaled a WindClanner toward the shadows where Rapidstar hid, lashing out with her claws in hopes of hitting the leader.
