the small mollies ears perked up at the sound of a yowl coming from somewhere in the forest. fawndapple was about to comment on the tom's still consistent sighing, but she realized that the cat that had called was really in trouble. her eyes flashed in alarm as she looked at redoak with a worried expression. she saw the look in the males eyes and knew exactly what he was thinking. mousebrain! you're going to get yourself killed!" she opened her jaws to protest but he had already risen to his paws and started to limped quickly towards the forest. fawndapple rolled her eyes in annoyance and leaped to her paws, ignoring the pain that it sent through her paw. her clan needed her and she wasn't about to let a healing paw get in the way of that. the lithe she-cat raced as fast as she could to the deputies side and started to catch the stench of fox coming from somewhere nearby. fawndapple glanced sideways to redoak and looked at his wounds, he was no where near healed enough to fight a fox. an idea crossed the mollies mind, she didn't say anything out loud to the tom, knowing that he wasn't going to like it one bit. she inhaled sharply and knocked herself into the deputies side, sending him into a somewhat soft patch of grass. "you stay here! you can't fight a fox in your condition!" she yowled at him before whirling around and taking off towards the sounds of battle. she knew that redoak would be shocked at her sudden decision, she was still trying to figure it out herself as she bounded and hobbled as fast as she could manage. hopefully her plan would work and the fight would be over before redoak could reach them, but she knew that her last minute plan most likely wouldn't work. why did I even do that? she thought briefly before exploding through a bush, landing clumsily on her hurt foreleg. she spotted the tawny creature a few tail-lengths away and let out a screeching caterwaul before jumping onto the creatures back. she recognized sootspeck fighting alongside her and felt a bit of relief. he is fit and strong, maybe we will be able to drive this thing away once and for all.

the golden brown tom stared at the camp entrance, lost in his thoughts. he heard a voice speak behind him and it made him slightly jump in surprise. he had been so focused that he had nearly forgot that the other three felines were still next to him. he turned his cranium to see the older of the two loners, she was smaller than him but not by too much. foxclaw had never been one of the biggest toms in the clan, but he had liked it that way so far and being in the middle wasn't bad. he sighed as the molly seemed to speak his mind and tried to think of something guarded to say in response but he couldn't. finally he shrugged his shoulders and looked away, "yeah I suppose..." he glanced at the forest once more before returning the younger she-cat's gaze with his bright blue eyes and cleared his throat. he heard ebonycloud whisper something quietly next to him and huffed in agreement, "they should know that we already have enough on our paws!" he realized just what he had said as soon as it was out. i'm one of the reasons we have so much to do. he shook his head watched as the ebony pelted molly went over and sat next to the entrance. suddenly he didn't know what to do. should I go help her or stay and do what snowstar said?

He suddenly heard a yowl. Distressed, a one in pain. It was Aspenheart. It wasn't anything good, either. He dashed over to Snowstar "Snowstar-!" He was suddenly cut off as the female stared down at him, and nodded her head. He nodded back, and turned, dashing towards the closest cat; Sootspeck. He skidded to a halt when he reached Sootspeck "Sootspeck. Come with me! I'll explain on the way!" He meowed, and dashed off towards the entrance, Sootspeck on his heals. He explained how he heard Aspenfrost, and how they had to go and find the fox. When they reached Aspenfrost, Bearstep stopped in front of the female "Aspenfrost? Are you alright? Was there anyone else with you?", he glanced at Nightwatcher, and shook his head "Lay off. She's hurt!" He snapped. Nudging the female with his nose as he realized she was dimming, her eyes rolling into the back of her head "Sootspeck! Quickly, follow her trail and trace it towards the fox! Ill bring her back to camp" He meowed, and helped Aspenheart to her feet, and helped her onto his back. She was light for a female of her strength, but he ran as quickly as he could back to camp.

She saw her deputy waddle back into camp, and realized Fawndapple had run out after the others "Foolish young cats. Redoak, you are in not strong enough to fight because of your wound just yet. I am leaving you in charge of camp while I am gone. Make sure everyone is in their right minds" she meowed, flicking her tail "I don't want petrified cats so close to leaf bare" she meowed, and whisked off, into the forest.

when she heard word of fox, she flattened her ears "Oh! I-it's alright... I understand, don't worry" she meowed, but felt bad for him. He was always stuck I camp because of his ill paw, and she always pitied him for it, but she knew he wouldn't like it if she did, so she kept it safely hidden "I can always stay here, I'll get out of the way if you need space while healing, though. I don't really want to go out into the forest anyways, since the fox...." She sighed, and sat down, wrapping her tail round her paws and giving him a sad smile.

Soon he wasn't alone. Fawndapple had come to the rescue. Somewhat. He leaped off the fox, and saw the small limo the Molly had when she moved "Fawndapple! Your in no fit state to fight! Your paw might give out, and you'll collapse!" He meowed in distress. He suddenly felt hot breath on his neck, and swerved away, slashing at the foxes left eye. He caught it, and tore it's eyelid, having his claw caught in it. The fox yapped and yipped in pain, but snarled, it's gums drawn back to its full extent to show its razor sharp canines "Oh great mother of Starclan" he meowed, and pushed Fawndapple back towards a tree, pinning her agents it as he forced her upwards "No sudden movements" he meowed. But it wasn't working. So much for ladies first. He snapped and grabbed the foxes leg with his jaws, clawing at its leg while he looked around frantically for a weak point.

he was thankful she understood. he gently flick his tail to her side as a thanks, though he would never do that to anyone else. he felt his ear tips grow warm, but he knew better than to show it "That's good, I don't want you to get hurt- I don't want anyone to get hurt." he added. addedhe took a step to the medicine cat den again, but then realized he wouldn't have to do anything until they came. he turned back to her and sat down next to her and shrugged. "I cant really do anything yet... so I guess I'll stick with you." the tom smiled slightly. he was glad they were far from foxclaw and the two loners, otherwise they may question them. at the moment, he wasn't sure what he would say. he curled his tail around his side, ending up with his tail resting next to hers. of course he didn't realize this since he wasn't looking at his tail though.

the ebony female smiled slightly, but was shaken by a wail. she jumped up, claws unsheathed. she watched as foxclaw jumped in front of the three, taking her slightly off guard. she couldn't leave, not after a few warriors already left. her eyes flicked to foxclaw and sparked with furry. did he think she couldn't handle herself? she could fight just as well as any tom! she forced the though out of her head, considering that he was a very kind tom. he was simply defending those who were his clanmates. she took a step forward, slightly off from standing next to the tom "Another fox? those mousebrains went looking for the other fox that was leaving our territory anyways?" she couldn't help but let it slip as a small, annoyed whisper. she hoped foxclaw didn't hear her, but then she did. if they were to be friends, he would have to accept her for who she is. She noticed the loner come up to him and say something. Something like he was blaming himself. She narrowed her eyes and surpressed an annoyed snort. What right did that molly have asking warriors about their secrets? Even they didn't do that to each other. The loner was like an ignorant kit, not knowing what to say. She turned her head back to the entrance of camp and planted herself in front of the exit, still in camp.

the molly scratched and snarled fiercely at the evil creature. she managed to score her sharp claws down the fox's muzzle before it threw her to the ground. she took a moment to recover before scrambling to her paws, "i'm not dead yet, foxdung!" she growled and started to plan her next move, making sure to plan something that wouldn't strain her paw too badly. she didn't like the thought of having to extend her time in camp by too much. just as fawndapple was moving to execute her idea, she felt something slam into her side and she was driven into a tree. she looked up through angry narrowed eyes to see sootspeck shoving her out of the way. "hey! that's not fair! last time I checked you weren't no leader!" she hissed the last sentence quietly to herself and launched herself forward with her back legs to land clumsily next to its side. the she-cat quickly assessed the situation and noticed that the russet pelted animal's focus was on her clanmate. she took the chance and slid underneath the belly of the fox, raking her good three legs and claws down its stomach before scrambling out of the way. the confused fox let out a snarl of pain and turned to look at its new attacker. she glared at it with her lips curled back in a furious snarl. her paw was throbbing with pain but she couldn't give up now. if she did, both her and sootspeck would be easy targets. fawndapple flashed a look to where the black warrior was standing, "take turns!" she yowled at him, knowing that they were both tiring from the fight. "if we confuse it enough it might get overwhelmed and give up!" the molly knew that her plan might have the chance of failing but it was the best plan she could think of in the current situation.

➵ Emberpelt watched as Bearstep carried Aspenheart back to camp. She followed suit, knowing she was no use anymore to her clanmates while her leg was injured. Sighing inwardly, she padded back to camp slowly, knowing Fawndapple was helping Sootspeck with the fox. The shecat had to remember that they could take care of themselves, but she still wished she was the one to rid the forest of the pest. Thrashing her tail, she shook her head and stared at the ground while she limped back to camp. Foolish, to think I could make a difference. I'm just tired of feeling like an outsider, and I hoped this would change things.. Pausing briefly, she folded her ears back at another thought. Are they gonna punish me for finding the fox? It was still in the territory, hunting for prey.. We even found the den it was staying in on the other patrol.. The thoughts lingered in her mind as she entered camp.

❄ aspenheart groaned something and mumbled something inaudible in reply to bearstep's urgent question. she felt her paws leaving the ground and felt a bit irritated and embarrassed that she had to be carried. struggling to get off bearstep's back, she got off and landed on her side, grunting.
"i appreciate the help, bearstep," she panted, giving her thanks to the tom who offered his help, "but i can still walk, no matter the wounds." despite her words, she occasionally had to lean on bearstep and ever so often stumbled and lagged behind. determined to keep going in solitude, she continued forth. she also muttered a prayer for those valiantly fighting the fox at this very moment.
"whatever happens," she murmured softly, "please don't let the fox take one of them."

The sandy brown molly saw the distress in his eyes. "Go." she calmingly breathed. Urging him to go help out his clan. "I can see in your eyes that you want to go, so go." [/i]

When she protested, and he felt her slide off him, he smiled gently. She was trying to keep her pride. He let her rest on his shoulder time from time, and when he arrived at camp, he squinted his eyes as he led Aspenheart to the medicine den "Darkleaf! Reedpaw! Aspenheart is injured" He meowed, and let her lay down on one of the mossy nests "Just stay put. You'll feel better soon enough" He meowed, and padded outside. He suddenly saw one of the rogues talking to Foxclaw, and growled. He padded over, and heard him tell him to go fight "You will not order the warriors around, loner" He spat, and gave Foxclaw a hard glare "You are not Snowstar. He was instructed to stay put and help defend, and help build your shelter. Your lucky your hide gets to sleep somewhere protected!" He snarled, and turned, lashing his tail as he went back out of camp. He passed Newtpaw, and whispered to the young tom, making him nod and trot towards Speck, who was within earshot of Tinder and Foxclaw.

When she reached the other warriors, she saw Emberpelt "Emberpelt? Are you alright?" She asked, and padded towards her wounded clan mate.

He nodded when Bearstep padded by, telling him to keep an eye on Tinder. He trotted towards Speck, and smiled towards her "Hello, beautiful" he purred "What brings you to the clan?" He meowed, and sat down beside her, giving her a toothy grin. Most of his first impressions towards mollies; flirt, and het their attention. He licked his paw "Wait! Don't answer that question. You came here because you were attacked by a fox, correct?" He asked, eyeing her gently.

The female smiled "I don't want anyone to get hurt…" She sighed, and purred when he said he could just stick with her. She felt herself ignite with happiness, until Bearstep brought Aspenheart in, laying her down. She stepped back, and tried not to show her disappointment "Your duty is calling you" She laughed, and padded out of the den after Bearstep, flattening her ears slightly. So much for friendly bonding.

When they started fighting, he nodded, surprised by her strength, even while her paw was sprained. When she suggested taking turns, he ran in and nipped its leg, making it snarl, then Fawndapple did the same. They continued doing it until the fox gave up, and ran off. He gave chase, yowling behind it until he disappeared from sight. When he came back through the bush, he shook his pelt, blood droplets spattering the ground "Wow, Fawndapple. You sure put up some fight for an injured cat" He chuckled, and let her lean on him while he walked, steadily, towards the others. He was slow, but when they made it, he sat down, panting slightly. He reported the Snowstar that the fox was gone, and she nodded her head in approval.

fawndapple watched as the tom ducked in and out of the foxes legs, nipping and biting at its limbs fiercely. she nodded in approval and began doing the same, thankful that it was a simpler task than what they had been doing before. she bit down hard on the tawny creatures bushy tail and growled in satisfaction when it snarled in pain. she stepped backwards, feeling her weigh sway beneath her wary legs as sootspeck dealt the final blow. she watched as the fox turned and gave the pair of cats one last vicious growl before turning tail and yelping quietly as it fled. she thought briefly about giving chase but then decided against it, knowing that her energy was merely close to being empty. the exhausted female plopped down onto her haunches and assessed her wounds. a few deep scratches on her pelt stung but other than that and her paw she had managed to escape the foxes sharp teeth and claws. she knew that she would still have to go get medicine for her wounds to prevent infection but besides that she was proud of herself. the dappled molly found herself thanking starclan for not only sparing the cats who had fought but for keeping redoak safe and away from the battle. her ear tips grew warm in embarrassment as she realized what she had been thinking and she tried to cover up her awkwardness by staring at the ground. a few heartbeats passed by as the two caught their breath and she heard sootspeck's slightly surprised mew. "its really no different than being a blind warrior or deaf I suppose." she mewed and chuckled lightly before taking him up on his offer and leaning on his shoulder as they headed back to camp. she tried to keep her hurt paw off the ground as much as possible, it had started to hurt a lot more now than it had when she was fighting. a sigh escaped her maw and her whiskers twitched in slight amusement, darkleaf isn't going to be very happy with me!

foxclaw felt his whiskers twitch in surprise as the loner somewhat ordered him to go over and help his clanmates. he narrowed his eyes at the molly, not liking the fact that she thought she had the authority to do so. he was about to warn her about bossing around the clan warriors but bearstep beat him to the punch. he disliked the older warriors scolding tone and met his icey glare with his own equally. not out of disrespect or to defend the other loner but to show that he wasn't frightened by the tom. a bit of relief washed over him as the brown warrior turned and walked away to speak with newtpaw. he watched the young apprentice trot over to speck and begin his flirty greeting. foxclaw rolled his eyes with a huff and turned back to the task of making the nests. without looking at the molly next to him he mumbled, "don't let bearstep get under your fur. he's just as big of a grump as duckclaw sometimes and we are all trying to adjust to the new changes." he quickly began to weave the nests out of moss with smooth and neat movements.

The small molly looked surprised by the smaller toms sudden moves. She was frozen with slight fear and had a slight lump in her throat. "U-uh..." she stammered and replied with a quiet 'yes' to his question. She shuffled her white and sandy-brown paws and looked down. Normally the spirited molly would be fine with talking to another cat but not someone who was as forward as this tom. [wb]

The sleek molly held the toms gaze with a vicious glare as he told her off. Though she kept her mouth closed, numerous come-backs ran through her head until the blocky tom finally went away. "I can tell." she mewed in a slightly annoyed tone. "Can I ask you a question?" she asked in a kinder tone. She stood silently for a moment until she started to help out with the bed making. She didn't wait for an answer very long after that so she asked the question anyway. "Why did you help us? Everyone wanted us to be chased out of the territory or killed..." she mewed, trailing off slightly, her oak-brown eyes landed on him as she stopped her work.

The spotted tom stood ridged as he waited for his clan to come back from the fox-fight. Minutes seemed like hours to the worried tom. As a few cats started to come back, some looked pretty badly injured while others looked okay. His pelt began to itch as the minutes slowly inched by like a snail without any sign of Fawndapple's return. "Fox-dung!" he spat in annoyance and in slight embarrassment that he was thinking of her safety. But he second thought it. It's fine of me thinking about her right? I'm the deputy... I'm supposed to care for my warriors... but... he trailed his thoughts off as he spotted her dapple pelt immerge from the camp entrance, leaning heavily on Sootspeck's shoulder. He muttered a harsh line of curses and jumped up from his spot near the high-rock. Though almost immediately fell from the pressure on his paw. Taking a careful step forward, he quickly, and awkwardly, limped over to Sootspeck and Fawndapple. He dipped his head toward Sootspeck, giving a slight signal with his tail for the tom to leave the two cats be for the time being. His eyes darted to the she-cat, his eyes overflowed with the sign that he had been worrying. "Fawndapple!" his voice cracked as he said her name. "Why did you do that!?" his voice raised to a plea. "You knew you were injured and you weren't supposed to fight! You could have gotten yourself even more hurt then you already are! Gah! You have even more wounds! Y-You could have go-tten K-kill-led!" his voice started to crack and stammer more and more as he continued to speak. "Fawndapple... What would I have done if I lost you?" his voice trailed off in a slight plead though his eyes widened even more as he re-spoke the words he just said in his head. His eyes snapped down in embarrassment and his ears grew hotter then ever. "I-I-I... D-I-I-d-n't-t me-ean it-t tha-at-t. w-a-..." he let his voice trail off, in fear he would just make the situation even more embarrassing than it already had become.
