Stemleaf had leaped onto Bramblestar’s back and was clinging on as the massive leader thrashed. Dappletuft and Conefoot harried the ThunderClan leader on each side as Kitescratch clawed at his hindquarters. Dashing in, Spotfur swiped at Bramblestar’s eyes, but the impostor dodged so that she left a deep scratch across his nose instead. Blood ran down his muzzle.

Bramblestar threw himself violently to one side, almost dislodging Stemleaf from his back, and slashed a massive paw across Dappletuft’s chest. Bright red blood flooded across the RiverClan warrior’s gray-and-white fur, and his blue eyes clouded. His mouth opened in a soundless wail as he stumbled and fell to his knees.

With screeches of horror, the other cats redoubled their attack. Spotfur’s vision was full of fur and claws as she scratched and bit. Bramblestar was trying to back away from them now, but there was nowhere to go. The rebels surrounded him.
