~ColdClan camp~

Stormstar leapt into the ColdClan camp clearing and attacked at the cats within. "StormClan attack!" she yelled as she leapt. Longfang leapt to his paws in a yowl of outrage. Scarletstar, sitting next to him, flicked her tail contently and brushed him down.

"What are you doing?" he gasped as Scarletstar allowed Stormstar to claw at her face.

"What can they do to us that we haven't already done?" Scarletstar hissed to him. "Besides, we have nothing to hide from them."

Stormstar froze at her words as did the others. "What do you mean!" she screamed in pure rage and shock. "You stole our cats! I know you did!"

Scarletstar tilted her head back and laughed loudly. "You mean your blind elder? She passed through here, yes." Reaching up with unsheathed claws she hit Stormstar across the face and knocked her off her feet. Looming over the older leader, she reached up without looking as Pinegrowth leapt at her in cold fury and shoved her back. "But we did not take your cat. She came on our territory on her own free will and left the same way."

Stormstar glared up at her a bared her teeth. "I don't believe you!" she hissed darkly.

Scarletstar sat back with another benign laugh. "Don't act foolish, Stormstar, you're better than that. What readon could I possibly have for taking your elder?"

Breathing deep, Stormstar stood up and crouched, ready to fight. "I know about your plans to attack StormClan. I know that you are a bottomfeeder who has no worth. You were going to attack us. Why?"

Scarletstar apparently wasn't done laughing for the day. "We were going to attack, yes, but then we decided we have better things to do with our time. Do you think I would go into battle without a plan? ColdClan is strong, and we don't attack Clans who aren't worth the fight."

Stormstar reared up at leapt, pinning Scarletstar down. She didn't so much as struggle.

"Where is she?!"

Scarletstar rolled over and shoved Stormstar away to sit up again. "I don't have your elder. She left forever ago. You can check the camp yourself," she offered.

"You said they're prisoners! I know you did!"

Shaking her head, Scarletstar laughed...again! "What, do you send spies to watch my every move? I'm not so pathetic and weak I can't catch one when it's right in front of me, and let this be a warning to all"

Stormstar lashed her tail. "I'm just about done listening to you, you stupid filth! Tell me where Daisyflower is!"

Scarletstar flexed her claws. "If I told you once, I've told you a thousand times. I. Don't. Have. Your. Cat. Now kindly leave."

Stormstar growled to herself then leapt, pinning Scarletstar to the ground. Just then, Nightfrost ran in to join. "Daisyflower isn't in the camp! Her scent is here, but she's gone!"

Scarletstar smiled as Stormstar turned to face her again with shock. "If you don't have her, where is she?"
