Warriors

[a s h e s.]

мυdѕlιde felt a thump as another warrior latched onto the dog's side. A third joined her, and she turned. Those two could handle that dog, she could help Crowfeather. With another hiss, she clawed at the animal's haunches while Crowfeather worked up front. She heard one cat say that the nursery was destroyed. Mudslide clawed with renewed hatred, hearing the dog yelp.

тooтнpαw looked at his brother, still a little surprised. He listened quietly and responded, "Well, until you know why you're here, wanna just stick with me?" He felt like suddenly Starclan would claim his brother again, and Toothpaw would be alone again. "I mean, I have to go train, you can watch. or practice with me? I have to pretend I'm being attacked, nobody would know you were there. It would look like I was just practicing on my own, you know?" He looked at Fangpaw hopefully.

Crowfeather watched the dog spin around and slam its jaws around mudslides back. "Get off of her!" he yelled jumping on the tops muzzle. It closed tighter on her waist and he saw blood drawing. He pulled up on the dogs jaws. "try to pry yourself out1" he hissed the dogs teeth digging into his paws.

Fangpaw sighed. "Well it is past dawn, you slept in again." he said chuckling quietly. Suddenly Toothpaws eyes opened. Fangpaw was far away sitting at the training hollow. He looked down at his paws away from Shrewpaw and Mosspaw. Away from Whitestorm who turns out was becoming an elder. All the cats in the hollow he couldn't look at. He would want to talk to them. They couldn't see him if they look hard enough they would see a shinny figure but they weren't trying. Surely Toothpaw would be smart enough to know that he was waiting for him at the hollow.

[a s h e s.]

мυdѕlιde screeched as the dog's jaws locked around her middle. She could hear Crowfeather's defiant yowls as he tried to pry the dog's fangs apart. Mudslide tried desperately to wriggle out. She managed to escape after a minute, but the dog's teeth scraped away at her fur, and she could feel blood spreading through her pelt. She whimpered, but still turned to scratch at the dog as best she could. Her eyes blazed with pain and fury. "Get out!" She yowled, though the dog could not understand her.

тooтнpαw walked out of the den, glancing around. Fangpaw would be with him. Even if only temporarily, he could see his brother again. As Toothpaw left the den, some other apprentices were rolling their eyes. What, he couldn't sleep extra? He just lost his sibling! Still, not all cats could understand that. Some of the warriors gave him sympathetic glances, and Puddlefoot nodded politely.

Crowfeather hissed letting go of the dogs teeth and falling off onto the ground. Lying on his stomach and stood up his pads in pain. He looked around to see the others retreating. "We can't do it. Mudslide lets go!" he said flicking his head towards the entrance. He ran up to her left to give her support. "We will die if we stay here." the dog lashed out at him and Crowfeather jumped forwards grabbing her scruff. Moving too quick for her to answer he threw her on his back. Usually he would only be able to carry a dead cat or a young cat. But adrenalin coursed through him.

ᶠᵃᶰᵍᵖᵃʷ
I can't exactly respond he's just still waiting.

[a s h e s.]

мυdѕlιde moved away, but the quicker she moved the more it hurt. Her skin just tore itself more as she tried to run, while Crowfeather limped beside her. Suddenly she felt teeth in her scruff, and she was pulled onto the tom's back. Carried away from camp. She blinked heavily, shocked. She hadn't ever been carried like this, most cats just told her to keep up if she was hurt. She would have to thank Crowfeather- he'd saved her life.

тooтнpαw got permission from Graystripe to go to the training hollow alone until he got there, since Graystripe had to do a quick patrol. (Hope that's ok) Toothpaw darted out of camp, pelting towards the hollow and hoping his brother would still be there. Sure enough, the apprentice saw a shimmer in the corner of his eye. Turning, he saw Fangpaw waiting, his shape getting clearer as Toothpaw watched. Toothpaw purred. "Graystripe won't be here for a few minutes. Shall we start?"

Crowfeather ran then was suddenly tripped. Both cats went sprawling across the leaf covered forest floor. Crowfeather jumped up quickly jumping back on the door and driving his teeth in the back of its neck. The dog yowled and Crowfeather jumped back off grabbing Mudslide again and heaving her on his back to run again. He dog snapped at him. Crowfeather turned, the dog was loosing pace. Crowfeather stopped at a large tree. There were too many brambles to run past, they were cornered. He could hear the loud footsteps and the faint barking get more and more clear. Crowfeather hissed and managed to throw Mudslide on the first tree branch. He jumped up and desperately tried to pull her to the second one. "I am sorry!" he muttered throwing her to the third. Crowfeather got her to the fourth when a dog suddenly jumped up on its hind legs frightening Crowfeather He fell to the ground with a hard thud. Standing up quickly he grabbed leaves throwing them at the dog. "hey mutt! Fresh meat right here! come and get me!" he yelled jumping in a thorn bush. Crowfeather heard the dog yelped and Crowfeather smiled because he got out of it quicker and back onto the tree.

occ;; Poor windclan. All night and now its morning and there's still dogs.

ᶠᵃᶰᵍᵖᵃʷ
Fangpaw looked around. The sun was bright, it just went up. There was news of dogs. He knew one clan was n trouble, Yellowfang was talking about it. But he forgot which clan. As long as it was not Thunderclan he was okay. Personally, Fangpaw felt bad. He was still so loyal to Thunderclan. Whenever Shadowclan needed some guidance from Starclan he would still stare down at Thunderclan territory and wish he was there. But he was needed here. There's no point in resisting Starclan's wish by using his second life, its too late now. He was woken from thinking when he saw Toothpaw. "I wonder if I am breaking any Starclan rules. I spent an hour listening to rules, well pretending to listen" he smiled sheepishly then crouched. "Come on brother. Can you defeat a Starclan cat?"

[a s h e s.]

мυdѕlιde felt the ground hit hard as they were thrown across the forest floor. She hated having to be a burden. Mudslide's the type of cat that doesn't like having to be helped. She wants to be the useful one. But as Crowfeather tossed her from branch to branch, there was nothing she could do. Eventually Crowfeather joined her in the tree. The sun was rising, and Mudslide tried to lick her wounds clean. "Thank you," she said fervently. "I wouldn't have lived if you hadn't helped me. How are your paws?" Her pelt was bleeding less, but she would need cobwebs to stop it completely. Mudslide could hear the frantic yowls as cats fled from camp, searching for one another and trying to find a safe place. She wondered if anyone was looking for she and Crowfeather.

тooтнpαw crouched as well, talking briefly as they began to circle one another. "If you were breaking rules, they probably would have made you come back." He reasoned. Pouncing, he turned in the air so he could land behind Fangpaw, facing his brother's tail. He swiped one paw, knocking his back legs out from under him. It was good to train with his brother, though Fangpaw usually won when they were alive.

Crowfeather sighed looking in the direction of the camp. "The dogs are in the camp. Everyone's split up. No ones in the camp at least not alive or healthy." he sighed lowering his head. "I fail to take down all of them. I couldn't even get one dog. Instead I got you hurt and others. Our camp is ruined, we will need to stay somewhere else and hope everyone knows to head to one clan. I am thinking Thunderclan. Not that I want to but all the other cats will pick that clan that or Rockclan. I think we should go there, Rockclan. We need to find our leader." he spoke a lot purposely ignoring her question about his health. The dog that followed them barked at them, it was now out of the bush. He leaned over and started to lick her wounds himself. "it stinks I don't know about medicine or I could help you."

ᶠᵃᶰᵍᵖᵃʷ
Fangpaw grinned stepping back. "I don't know. Actually they didn't even know I left. Man I am so tricky I tricked Starclan." he laughed jumping back again then punching forward grabbing Toothpaws shoulder's and trying to pin him down. He was kicked back then Fangpaw started to run around him in circles.

[a s h e s.]

мυdѕlιde listened to Crowfeather sympathetically. He would blame himself, she figured that. "Don't worry. Us WindClan cats are smart. You and I can go to Rockclan, and if we see any of our cats on the way we'll bring them, too. We can tell Boulderstar what happened, he's an understanding cat. Maybe his warriors can help us get the dogs out, if they don't leave on their own." She purred. "And no cat could take on three dogs single-pawed, except maybe Scourge. Don't beat yourself up." She wasn't always so nice, but she wasn't mean. Mudslide just tended to keep to herself.

тooтнpαw grinned as he saw Fangpaw circling him. Jumping forward, he got out of the trap and turned to face his brother. "Circling? That's all you've got?" He purred, coming forward to bat at his brother's ears with both paws.

Crowfeather nodded sighing. "You did very well too. I am proud to be stuck up here in a tree with you. But we need a plan now. I say we throw a stick one way and then dash off the distraction confusing them and get to Rockclan." Crowfeather shrugged and wondered what she would say to the offer. "We can't stay here. Like you said Rockclan is the best choice. It's closest."

ᶠᵃᶰᵍᵖᵃʷ
Fangpaw laughed. "Remember brother. You are fighting against a Starclan cat now!" Fangpaw suddenly turned a glistening white color you could only she his silhouette and his eyes and nose. As if his patterns turned to a foggy clear white color. he jumped pinning Toothpaw down. "Try hit me now!" he joked."
