before the younger cat could respond to tobias' questioning, there was a commotion in the underbrush behind them. the rogue swiveled his ears back and started to pivot, but he was too late. suddenly, a weight slammed into his back, unsheathed claws digging into his thick fur and large fangs finding purchase on his ear. pain lanced through tobias and he yowled angrily. someone was attacking him!
indentdoes this cat really think she can take me down without a fight? regardless of his anger, there was nothing the dark tabby loved more than this: the prospect of a fight. back in the city, killing had been his sport, fighting his favorite pastime, and blood the ruby bath he bathed in. from birth, the rogue had been raised under brutal laws. attack first, or be attacked. eat first, or starve. kill, or be killed. it was the only way of survival in his old community, and tobias had reveled in it. his brute strength and lack of empathy towards others minimized any guilt he was capable of feeling, and he found prestige in every battle won . . . taking pride in each scar that laced through his fur, each graceful movement of his claws. but, this was a different world. bearclanners were softies, and he didn't often get the chance to fight these days. this one though seemed willing to test her luck, though. he had to stop himself from chuckling; finally, a way to blow off some steam!

indenthis blood began to boil in that oh so familiar fashion he was accustomed to; his hooked claws slid out and his eyes narrowed. despite having tumbled to the ground from the blunt force, he staggered to his paws, the she-cat still clinging to him, teeth ripping his ear. with a grunt, he heaved his large body upward, flinging his ambusher off of him with a single, violent thrust. even as his ear ripped, he ignored the pain. quickly, he went for a swift jab of the throat with an outstretched paw. not a lethal move, simply meant to wind the bold she-cat; tobias had learned long ago that a breathless cat during a fight could easily become a dead one. taking his chance for a second attack, the dark tomcat faked a move, whipping forward in a flurry of dead leaves and black fur, paws stretched wide, aiming for the throat. at the last moment he ducked away and bowled her over onto her back instead. he pinned her with his massive paws, allowing his claws to prick at skin. tobias drawled, a sneer on his face, "now, normally the last thing i want to do is harm a lady, but you've given me no choice, sweetheart." his pale eyes flashed. "how about we talk like reasonable adults before trying to kill each other, eh? i wasn't gonna hurt your friend, there." gripping her tighter, he growled, "then again, i wouldn't mind a little skirmish."

snowfeather breathed a sigh of relief as the tom let out a low mrrow of laughter, letting her know that there was no harm done in her clumsiness. "it's alright snowfeather. i didn't even see you." his ginger face seemed to take on more concern as he got to his feet and looked her over. the white warrior realized inwardly that she probably looked frightful, and she subconsciously decided to lick her chest fur back into place, halting in her progress when redcloud added, "are you alright? did you hear that noise? it didn't sound good."
indentthe she-cat shook her pelt, forcing her spiked fur to flatten a tad. "oh, i'm fine, no problems here. running into you just startled me, is all. and yes, i heard it too." snowfeather cast her wide blue gaze towards the dark sky, sniffing the air. "i'm worried about the rest of the clan; i think that was the closest blast we've ever had. we should head back."

newtcloud watched as brightnoise tended to her kit, jumping a little when bunnypaw spoke. "he's injured, i don't know how badly. a piece of rock fell from the ceiling and landed on his leg." she answered, then chuckled a little. "i think about my back after everything. i'm a bit cut up but i should be fine, there are probably others who need the herbs more than i do." newtcloud said, looking around.

mousepaw jumped in shock as their clanmate tackled the stranger. "hey! it's okay! he wasn't going to hurt me!" they cried. "i think he was trying to help!" mousepaw hissed as the two cats fought, the newcomer pinning softblaze. "hey! everyone calm down! this isn't the time to start fights!" mousepaw begged, their good eye starting to water. this was so overwhelming. mousepaw just wanted to curl up and sleep for 100 moons.

eveningkit yelped as his leg was prodded. "that hurts! it hurts! ow!" he cried out, claws digging into the ground. "stop!" he didn't like what was happening. not one bit.

[ location; bearclan border ] [ tags; softblaze ] [ the stars are my friends. ]

xxxthe female was remotely relieved in hearing a purr of reassurance in response to her hurried questioning. was she okay? she supposed she was - thoughts were still twirling her clarity of thoughts, blocking any sensible communications she could be having. before she could mew an 'okay' in response to the other's question, which she could tell was asked out of pure kindness, her ears pricked up in detection to some noises closer to the border. softblaze seemed to detect something was off as well, her nose lifted to the air as she sniffed the danger nearby. nightwing's ears flattened as well, identical to her clanmate, as an immediate response to the imminent intruder trespassing on their territory. and mousepaw? the ebony she-cat's green eyes narrowed with confusion as she wondered what the apprentice could possibly be doing with a.. rogue. she wasn't entirely open to outsiders, having been a clan bred cat and having more over fighting experiences with the felines that lived apart and off of their territory than friendly encounters. but softblaze would always be an example that they could change.. but most would remain a shady mystery to her. "he could be hurt!" she mewed after a moment, exchanging a glance with the other she-cat before following her with an agile leap into the bushes. the muscles in her legs were working in a similarity to a bunny's hop - but equivalent to a bird's fly. that's why she had been named nightwing. the night describing her midnight pelt, which would glow with starlight if you stayed out late enough into the evening with her - and the wing representing her ability to elite speed and swift abilities. her fur bristled with hostility as they approached the scene at the speed of a moor warrior, analyzing the occurrence before making an action. there was (obviously) a rouge - softblaze had been accurate with her sniffing sense, and mousepaw was there as well. her clanmate had already jumped onto the other, a large tom with dark fur and piercing eyes. he easily came off as intimidating - if he was part of their clan, she would not have wanted to go into battle practice with him in the fear of losing a tuft of fur. but there was something about him, almost an air, that was telling her that he wasn't a naturally violent cat. that he wouldn't perform an act of harm without a good reason. she watched the warrior and the unknown cat splay a show of a fight against each other for a second, the tom starting to talk in a alley cat kind of slang to softblaze. she couldn't hear a lot of his rough voice, and to be frank, his words weren't her biggest concern at the moment. her eyes widened at the sight of mousepaw, rushing to his side and licking his fur. it was still warm, and she could hear his breathing, showing that he was still alive. she wasn't a medicine cat, but she knew enough knowledge on the anatomy and injuries of a cat to know that he would need help as soon as they returned to their camp. the apprentice's blood was glistening against his fur, concerning her. but nowhere did she smell the familiarizing scent of the rouge on him. he hadn't hurt him. from the scraping of claws and the yowl's from the two in aggression, she had made out that he had no intentions to hurt the young cat. "wait! softblaze! he wasn't going to hurt mousepaw!" she yelled in proclamation, hoping her volume was enough to come off as an alerting notice to her friend. it was now up to her clanmate in decision if she wanted to go further into the violence or not. she knew her well enough to know that she would do anything if one of her clan member's lives were at stake. she wasn't going to jump into the fight and risk misguiding her judgement, but she hoped she would make the right choice. at least one of them needed to be alive and breathing enough to warn the rest of the clan. she had the idea to run back and get back up, or provide a mere announcement to the others, but she didn't want to make this a big deal. it could've been passed off as a border skirmish if mousepaw hadn't been badly hurt, one of his brilliant eyes closed in sickness. "mousepaw, are you okay? can you walk?" she said frantically, her tail twitching as her anxiety spiked, trying to relax herself but it was hard in this situation.

Assuming that Brightnoise was momentarily distracted with the injured kit, Falconstream followed the concerned group out of camp. Her intention was to wait a moment and give Brightnoise and chance to answer. It seemed Cedarspark was also looking for ways to help. He approached Brightnoise with the suggestion to go on a scouting trip, searching for any salvageable prey and lost survivors. Falconstream thought that was an excellent idea, and Brightnoise seemed to agree.
"Shadepaw and I can go with you, Cedarspark. We're both fine. Right, Shadepaw?"
She glanced at her side, where she assumed her apprentice to be, had she followed Falconstream. Falconstream, herself, was so focused on trying to find a way to help her clan that she was not terribly attentive to providing any emotional support to Shadepaw, not that she was usually much good at that, either way.

Tansyflower flexed her paws against the hard ground beneath her. It helped quell her concern for Eveningkit, who had just been carried out of the dusty cave by Cedarspark. Kits were often at the forefront of Tansyflower's mind, and seeing Eveningkit so badly hurt that he could not walk filled her with concern. Fortunately, Brightnoise was on the scene and already examining Eveningkit, while some of the others were also in line to have their wounds tended to or offering to help if they had none.
The elder tried to keep still and quiet for the sake of Ashkit, who stirred a little against her belly. It was probably all the talking. Under another circumstance, Tansyflower would begin shooing everyone away before they disturbed her little charge any further, but seeing as they had nowhere else to go, she just offered Ashkit a few more comforting licks.

Shadepaw nodded, wanting to help as much as possible. "I'm not injured," she assured everyone. "We were by the river, not too close to anything dangerous." She avoided looking towards Eveningkit, honestly she was repulsed by the kit's injury, and she hated herself for that. She was meant to feel sorry for him, she knew that, but instead she only felt anxiety about escaping from this den of horror. She could still barely breath, but even so she could smell the blood, and just that made her want to retch. She sheathed and unsheathed her claws, impatient to leave.

Cedarspark smiled at the mentor and apprentice, before turning back to the medicine cats. "I'll make sure I don't take anyone injured. These two look pretty fit and I was well sheltered, I'm just a little bruised," he meowed, ignoring the slight ache in his paw. It was nothing, he probably just wrenched it hunting earlier. Turning back to Falconstream, he decided, "Three cats will be enough. Let's get going. We can go to the thickets in the opposite direction of that border. The prey has probably retreated there in fear." Briskly, he turned around, taking a shot at making small talk with Falconstream as he headed away from the cats.

"He'll be fine," Bunnypaw mewed, controlling her tone so it betrayed far less anxiety than she felt. "Brightnoise is an amazing medicine cat." Turning to sift through the herbs she had found, she pulled out a stick swathed in cobwebs. The top layer was ruined with dust, but after pulling out a leaf of horsetail as well, she stripped it off. Swiftly chewing the green herb into a poultice, she looked back at Newtpounce. "Please can I put this on your scratches? We don't want them getting nasty. And you're just as important as any other cat- you have to stay healthy to look after your son!"

Struggling to understand what was happening, Jackdawpounce stared hard at Ratscar. His mouth moved but they heard nothing. Nibbling their lip, they shook their head. Gesturing with their tail, they pointed first to their ears then to the deputy's mouth. They kneaded the earth beneath their paws anxiously, terrified about what was wrong. They glanced back at willowpaw's injury and was reminded of camp and their clanmates- would they be injured. Breathing hard, they managed to stutter out- discovering it was very difficult to speak without hearing yourself- "C-camp O.. Ok?"

█..Willowpaw nodded, looking at Jackdawpounce and following him back to camp, making sure Ratscar was behind her. Willowpaw kept her mouth shut the entire time and had her head laying low. Oh jeez, what was gonna happen to her? And what will she do if someone was killed by the explosion? She had no idea and she lost her head in thought, but she quickly stopped herself and got back to reality. She was very prone to day dreaming. As she stepped into camp she looked around anxiously, seeming to count the cats. She really couldn't finish her counting thought because she felt dizzy from the trek here. She looked at some of the debris around and it looked like things weren't that bad. She quietly sighed in relief. Thank StarClan. She sat down near a wall and clenched her teeth in pain once more.

Shadepaw was right there with her, and the pair of them had finally found a way to help. With all of the chaos going on, getting away in the company of Cedarspark came as a welcome relief. Things were starting to look a little better, but they were far from great.
Falconstream nodded her approval to Cedarspark's idea to try hunting in the thickets.
"Good idea. Hopefully, we can find something."
Falconstream did not need to told twice, and fell in beside the grey tom, leaving the injured to the medicine cats. Speaking of, she thought she remembered Brightnoise, or maybe Bunnypaw, mention something interesting. Perhaps Cedarspark would know something more about it. Obviously, Shadepaw wouldn't know anything if they had been together the whole time, so she did not bother including her apprentice in this topic of conversation.
"Hey, wasn't there something supposed to be going on with the marigold around here? What do you think that's about?"

Tansyflower remained Ashkit's silent guardian, watching as Eveningkit received treatment and cats left on a hunting trip. That was a good call. There was no telling whether the prey pie had survived or how many cats were out of commission at the moment. It would be better to get started on the hunting now.
Cedarspark, Falconstream, and Shadepaw had only just disappeared from view when another group appeared. Tansyflower's gaze locked onto Willowpaw's familiar, pale pelt. She had always taken a liking to her among all the current apprentices, so she was even more horrified to see the injury Willowpaw has sustained.
"Willowpaw!", she exclaimed in concern, and then went on to shout at no one and everyone at once. "Great StarClan, someone help her!"

( molly ) ( 8 moons ) ( apprentice ) ( #Falconstream, Cedarspark) ( territory )

The apprentice followed her mentor, trying not to feel as though she was just tagging along as Falconstream began to chat to Cedarspark. She twitched her ears, carefully examining the forest for prey, but she saw nothing. Spotting a small collection of beech nuts at the base of a tree, she crept forwards, hoping for a squirrel. To her dissapointment the scent was stale and tinged with fear-scent- the squirrel had probably already been caught. Shaking her fur irritably, she dropped back into step with the older two cats, casually listening to their conversation. Marigold? she asked herself. What is she on about? Marigold's the weird smelling plant with the big leaves, right? Or is that something else- she frowned, confusing herself. Shrugging, she decided she'd probably described basically any herb she knew of anyway, and simply hurried to catch up with the warriors.

( tom ) ( 31 moons ) ( warrior ) ( #Falconstream, Shadepaw ) ( territory )

A confused look spread over his muzzle as Cedarspark listened to his fellow warrior. "I'm not sure. Maybe the marigold was on top of whatever exploded?" he suggested with a shrug. "They'll probably find some more." He hoped so anyway. He wasn't a complete mouse-brain, he knew marigold was an important herb to fend off infection, so the clan wouldn't be able to do without it for too long. He flicked his tail, trying to brush the worry away, and looked up, scanning the treetops. If they could spot a pigeon or a dove, that would make a good catch. Maybe Eveningkit could have it.

As they weaved through the trees, another thought popped into Cedarspark's mind. Oops. Had he seen Mousepaw in camp? A prickle of worry wormed through his fur as he realized he hadn't even thought to check. I have responsibilities now! he groaned inwardly. Why hadn't he remembered his apprentice? Falconstream had been with hers, and she didn't even like apprentices. Sighing, he comforted himself with the thought that they could keep an eye out for him while they were hunting.

After dealing with Newtpounce, she took a moment to collect her thoughts. Unfortunately, it was a short moment. Bunnypaw's pelt bristled at Tansyflower's shout, her ears ringing. Screwing up her face, she forced herself to turn and look towards the elder. Shock sparked in her gaze at the sight of Willowpaw's twisted jaw, and she bounded over. "What happened?" she exclaimed, tail flicking to and fro with nerves. Exhaling, she focused on Willowpaw. "Okay. How does it feel? Can you move it?" she asked as she fished through her herbs, unsure what herbs to do. Please hurry, Brightnoise. I can't deal with a broken jaw! Please, StarClan, let it not be broken..

( nonbinary ) ( 34 moons ) ( warrior ) ( #ratscar, willowpaw ) ( "camp")

The black warrior padded towards camp, tail twitching. Their eyes flicked nervously around, they knew with a dreadful certainty they wouldn't hear an enemy approaching. At least my nose isn't hurt, they reflected, inhaling the woodland scents. Unfortunately they were nearing camp now and they also inhaled a mouthful of fine dust. Coughing slightly, they bounded after Willowpaw into the camp. Standing slightly bewildered at the edge of the cave where what seemed to be half the clan or more were gathered, they glanced at Ratscar before simply planting themself on the gravelling earth, trying to gain an understanding of what was happening without sound.

Raingaze
The silvery tom flattened the grass around him and crouched down into a more comfortable position. After watching the medicine cats work for a while, he glanced around at the other cats to see if there was anything he could do to help.


Duskbreeze
Duskbreeze sat quietly at the edge of his clan mates and curled his long tail around his paws. The tom's icy eyes were narrowed at he stared coldly at the entrance of the camp. Will it be safe enough to continue living here? he thought. He closed his eyes and felt a growl start in the back of his throat, which he quickly silenced. He was having a good day too.


Dawncloud and Cricketpaw
Dawncloud huddled by Cricketpaw, licking her ears to calm her. However, Cricketpaw felt fine. In fact, Cricketpaw wondered if Dawncloud actually though she needed comfort or if she was simply trying to soothe herself. Cricketpaw didn't mind. The warrior played with her when she was a kit and they had remained close friends.
