War of the clans(1X1)

[Crystal_Tigryphon]

Shatter bit down harder on Nightpaw's scruff. "Quite squirming, kit, or you'll miss seeing you clan mates again... for the last time!" He laughed from around her fur, his brother joining him with a wicked grin on his face.

As the BloodClan cats drew near, the patrol without Curse, Rip called out, his voice strong and sure. "Cats of BloodClan! Hear me now, for this is your last chance! Curse falls today, and if you value your lives, you will join us in fighting him! I know many of you, and you hate what he has done to your lives! I was brave enough to leave his rule, now who's with me!" His voice echoed off the other trees, carrying it across the group.

Raventalon stood, hidden, near the RiverClan camp, awaiting the arrival of Curse's group. They seemed to be taking their time, obviously not worried about their clan mates. Why would he be, the fox heart!

"OW!!" Nightpaw whimpered and stopped.

Hawkflight crouched beside Raventalon.

[Crystal_Tigryphon]

((you can be a couple BloodClan cats, you know, I can't be all of them XD))

[MollySue]

Shard and Raid paused and looked at Rip In shock.

[Crystal_Tigryphon]

((I'll post tomorrow, I really gotta get to sleep. I've been nursing a stomach bug for a while, and I'm just now getting over it))

[MollySue]

(feel better )

[Crystal_Tigryphon]

Rip nodded his head. "That's right, brothers and sisters! I have turned my back on Curse's evil reign, and you should do the same!" He leaped down branch by branch, feeling more alive than he ever had before. He landed on the ground nimbly. "Join us, join the clans, and together we can bring this tyrant to his end!" His eyes flashed dangerously to each of the cats who looked like they might refuse.

The sound of paws, of bodies moving through the grass sounded nearby, and Raventalon braced himself. Beside him, he could feel the other deputies growing anxious. "Steady... we have to wait till we see him close by..." He flashed a look at his apprentice, knowing Crystalpaw would want to help, yet knowing she couldn't without risking her life.

Curse paused, lifting his tail in silent command. The cat's around him parted, and Shatter and Sniper carried Nightpaw forward to join their leader. "Clan cats... oh, clan cats! I know you're out there..." He grinned, his plan going just as well as he'd thought it would. "Why don't you come say hello to your old friend..." He snatched Nightpaw from his cats, pinning her by the throat to the ground, extended claws pressing into her flesh.

Shard and Rain froze and shared a look. Raid nodded her brown tabby head. "He's right." she meowed.

Scarflame kneaded the ground with his claws.

Nightpaw shrieked under Curse's grip, fear glazing her icy gaze.

[Crystal_Tigryphon]

Rip smiled, dipping his head slightly. "All those who wish to join us, step over here. Everyone else... prepare for battle!" He yowled out, reaching down to bite clean through his collar, ripping it off of his neck and throwing it aside into a bush.

Raventalon used his tail to block the others. "Not yet..." He glared, waiting for the right moment to strike.

"Fine, if you won't come out..." He reached his head down to bite into Nightpaw's throat, and that was it. Raventalon leaped out, landing square on Curse's exposed shoulders, only to be thrown off. But, that was enough to loosen his grip on Nightpaw enough for her to run away.

"Clans! Attack!" Raventalon yowled out, and the whole of the RiverClan camp became alive with screeching cats. Crystalpaw leaped out at a BloodClan cat, pinning him down and biting into his shoulder, making him cry out in pain.

[MollySue]

The patrol yowled in agreement and pulled their collars free.

Nightpaw shot out of his grip and nearly ran into Bramblestar. She froze as he met her gaze, dipped his head, and sprange at a ginger tabby. Nightpaw sprang onto the back of one of Bloodclan's apprentices. The clearing erupted in yowls.
