Jinxstar led the way out of camp. Once he heard that there were rogues on his territory, he knew that they might be the culprits of Wispkit's death. He knew that there was no way that he would allow Birchfeather to go on this, either. Jinxstar led the cats through the trees, following the path left by the patrol that found them. Silently, his group stalked up onto the rogues and watched through the trees to see what was going on. He saw that it seemed like a small group, only five that he could see right now, but they were next to an old fox den, so there might be more underground. Jinxstar called back his group to talk to them.
"Brindlethorn, I want you to approach the group with me. The rest of you, find positions around the clearing,
and make sure that you remain unseen until I give you the signal, alright?" The rest nodded as they left.
Jinxstar took a deep breath as he led Brindlethorn into to clearing, the four cats that were sitting outside the den looked over in alarm and surprise. Two were bristling and the largest of the group, a tom and presumably the leader, was glaring at them with open hostility.
"You are trespassing on Jinxclan territory!" Jinxstar said in a strong tone as he and Brindlethorn stood tall, "Leave now and there won't be any trouble."
The other cats in the clearing started to snicker with laughter as the big tom approached him.
"And, who, exactly, is ordering me around?" He snarled in Jinxstar's face.
Brindlethorn gave a warning hiss, while Jinxstar just shrugged it off, "I am Jinxstar, Leader of Jinxclan.
This is apart of my land, and I will not repeat myself again. Leave now and no one will get hurt."
The others that gathered around them at this time were smiling viciously, while the leader of the band seemed unphased.
"Hhmm, well, you see, we can't exactly do that." He said in a mocking tone, "We have found that we quiet like it here, and I think we will stay."
Just with that sentance, the rest of the group moved in to attack, "You should have brought more cats!" The leader snarled as he jumped at Jinxstar.
"NOW!" Jinxstar yowled, calling the rest of his group to him.
The clearing quickly turned into a flurry of claws, teeth and fur. The rogues were not out take prisoners, and Jinxstar was not about kill if he did not have to. Serena, on the other hand, was just itching to get her paws bloody. She attacked anything that got close enough, even almost attacking her own clanmates.
Jinxstar was having a hard time dealing with this larger male, he was younger then Jinxstar and age was definently a factor in this battle. Brindlethorn was feeling the strain of age as well, and he saw that Cloudscent was having a very hard time against the she-cat that was battling him. Brindlethorn fougth his way over to the old medicine cat and was blindsided by a new cat that attacked him. The two tussled, each one tearing tufts of fur out of the other, until Brindlethorn had his shoulder torn open. He looked over and saw that Cloudscent was missing part of his ear and the cat his was fighting was going for the eyes.
He fought off the cat, helping Cloudscent get out of the clearing. Just as he looked back, he saw another three cats come out of the fox den. what started out as four cats was now eight, and Jinxstar was down two. Brindlethorn helped Cloudscent back to camp, vowing to send more cats to assist.
Jinxstar saw two of his warriors limping off, and knew that this was a losing battle. He hoped that they could be able to hold together, being outnumbered 2 to 1 was not fun odds, but he knew that Brindlethorn would send more cats to help. He was trying this best to fight off the larger tom, but he was starting to flounder.
Brindlethorn reached camp and took Cloudscent to the medicine den. As they were working on patching each other up, Skydapple came into the den. Brindlethorn explained to her what was happening, and she took the remaining warriors in camp with her to help.
[Skydapple, Tigerthorn, Brightmoon, Quailfoot, Blueriver, and Blossomsong go to aid in the battle; Brindlethorn and Cloudscent return to camp]
Skydapple and the rest of the group arrive just in time to take inventory of what was going on. it looked like there were ten cats fighting against Jinxstar and the remaining three with him. She knew that they would even the odds. JInxstar saw his new patrol stream over the hill to help them and was relieved. A new vigor seemed to enter his aching bones as he fought back against the rogue leader.
Skydapple jumped into the frey and took a place next to Whispersnow, who had been trying to fight two cats at the same time. Blueriver and Blossomsong ran over to their father, just in time to intercept two new rogues that were coming over to help their leader.
The clearing was quickly becoming streaked in blood and scattered fur. Jinxstar looked away from what he was doing long enough to see his two kits come over to help him, but it was a second to long. The leader of the rogues caught him off guard and knocked him onto his back, landing heavily on top of him. JInxstar scrambled underneath him, trying to get a hold to drag himself out and making himself as hard a target as possible, but it did not work. The other cat bit deep into his neck, and Jinxstar could feel his blood start to run through his fur. He knew that was not going to be fun, but he struggled as long as he could.
"Father, no!" was the last thing that he heard before the weight was knocked off him and he slipped into darkness.
Blueriver has seen what had happened, and together with his sister the two cats had gotten the larger male off their father. They stood over him protectively, seeing that the rest of the clan was fighting the rogues back. There were several bodies laying around the clearing, Blueriver recognized only two, the others were from the rogues. He was not sure if those bodies were still living, but he would not leave his father's side.
Jayleap, Serena, and Quailfoot went to check out the fox den after the rest of the group had run off, and heard noises coming from inside. There was a hissing noise from the far back corner, and Quailfoot went down to investigate.
