Hope you don't mind, but I want to get parts of this plot rolling!

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=0099ff] Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don't deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
The wind was deahtly still, and the she-cat in the sunhish sun could not hear any birdcalls. Something was wrong. Something was out there. The she-cat's dawn gray tabby fur bristled, and her blue eyes narrowed. This waas her land, and nothing would invade it or drive her clan out. On what little wind there was, she could scent no enemy cats, but there was something else she recognized from near the mountains. It must have smelt the cats and thought them easy prey. It would find out. From the scent, she gathered the creature was alone.
And there it was! The infamous growl she had heard so many times from the mountains! She quickly turned towards the sound, and there stood a creature about two and a hakf tail-lengths high. It was like the enlarged, wilderned version of a Twoleg dog. The mountain cats called it a wolf. The wolf's pelt was scattered through with recent pink scars, and even a few open cuts. The creature smelt of crowfood, and it's pelt was mangy. The wolf had the same pelt color as her daughter, Nightfire.
The wolf was crouched low to the ground, it's hackles raised. It somehow seemed to know it had a well prepared opponent with experiance fighting dogs. Either way, the black wolf slowly marched forward, still low to the ground. Twilightstar waited till it was close enough, and she pounced, releasing all the power she had bunched up in her huanches. She overshot it, but it didn't phase her. As she flew over the wolf, she spat at it and yowled, "Get out of here, mange ridden, crowfood eating creature! This is my territory!" She landed oin the moors behind the wolf as easily if it were packed sand, she spun her self around just in time to avoid getting chomped in the massive wolf's jaws. She reached out with her paws and got the creature's noxe and riht eye. The wolf reared bazk in pain, but only long enough for Twilightstar to race around it and jump on it's head. The wolf jumped as soon as she landed on it's head, and started thrashing. Twilightstar managed to hook her claws around the wolf's eyes and blind it before it got her with it's claws. The wolf ran off crying for it's mommy, while
Twilightstar lay bleeding out her life on the moorland. She clsed her eyes to find StarClan's forest.
The moon shone clearly on the Gathering Island, and a ring of nine cats stood around her, plus the growing outline of a tenth that looked exctly like her. She sat, her head hung. Then, the cats beside her outline stepped forward and thrust Twilightstar's head up. It was Hazelstar, the old WindClan leader. "Twilightstar, you know what happens th next time you die. You have one more life, and then you come to us for good and your deputy takes over. What were you thinking when you fought that thing?"
Twilightstar looked at Hazelstar's eyes, her emotions having no shame. "I was protecting my clan. I have lived a long, full life. I may have broken the warrior code by having kits, but I have no regrets in my life. Nightfire will make a fine leader when I come here, and she will lead WindClan well. I know it in my heart."
Hazelstar nodded, and stepped back into her place. The stars in the cat's fur sparkled as bright as ever, as Hazelstar finished, "Remember, we are always watching you." With that, the clearing faded, and Twilightstar opened her eyes to the moors.
