"Who is that!?"

A tom named Wolf'haze blurted, his face tense and agitated. 

Another warrior, a she-cat, Ravine'trout, stopped as she glared at the red gaze of an unknown cat.

Blaze'light was still trying to fight off the warriors holding him down. They were constantly asking him questions.

"Where is the rogue!" The large tom, Colossal'leap yelled at him, clawing his body.

"I'm not telling you where they are!" Blaze'light batted his face. The other cats took notice and charged after him.

Blaze'light took off running, a gold color of dust radiated from his fur and trailed with him as he ran. 

The other warriors chased him to the other side, Ravine'trout stood her ground as she stared boldly to the mysterious figure. "Who are you!" She shouted. The figure didn't say anything. The fog veiled his physical form, and only his piercing red eyes stayed visible. His marking darkens into a red glow. He felt a boost in his body that had given him power. His claws unsheathed, goring through the dirt below him. 

 "Either you reveal yourself or die!" Ravine'trout says, now approaching to Red'fang's direction. 

He immediately moved to the left. He charged at Ravine'trout in an instant, but the she-cat knew something like this could happen. She jumped back, her claws unsheathing as she took a shot at scarring his face. Red'fang yowled and plummeted on the ground, holding his bleeding eyes, breathing intensely.

Ravine'trout scoffed. "I'm guessing you've been taught nothing." She sneered, approaching the fallen warrior. Her eyes filled with glee and victorious of how she had finally taken down the rogue that the territory had been looking for moons. She began her boastfulness, turning around at the remaining warriors. "He could've stayed with us, huh?" The she-cat bragged. "This could've been easier if you stayed and learned these mistakes from your mentor who treated you as his own, and you can't even do that!" 

Red'fang's scars scorched his body, his claws dragging on the ground. He could feel himself dying as the blood gushed from his face. His vision went black. He could feel those memories piling up into him. The fear of returning to that clan that had nearly tore him apart was unbearable. He couldn't lose this life, and he couldn't lose what he only had in a life of misery, his brother. 

He knows the value of his own family than a clan that was never there for him.

"Come on now, take him in!" Ravine'trout called, now gathering warriors to bring him back to camp as a trophy.

He opened his bright red eyes, seeing one of the cats approaching him. A SaguaroClan warrior named Maroon'flint, reached for his leg. 

Red'fang sprung from the ground, pouncing at the tom and pierced his fangs onto his neck.

The patrol instantly moved, seeing the unexpected attack the rogue made. They quickly dissipated into their battle stances, and one of the warriors tried to jump at Red'fang, who had Maroon'flint on the ground.

Red'fang held the bleeding tom on the ground. He charged at the other warrior, the others beginning to overclose him, Ravine'trout yowled on the top of her lungs. 

"CLOSE IN ON HIM!" 

As the rogue held the other warrior down, the others were making an attempt to overwhelm him by scarring his sides to tire him out. Red'fang knew how outnumbered he was in. He was begging for a miracle to happen at any moment. 

And it did.

When the warriors were attempting to tackle him down, a warrior named Adder'burr turned around to see the blazing fire behind her. Her eyes widened and halted. "FIRE!" She yelped. Her body was feeling hot from how close the inferno was. This forced the others to turn around, and what they saw in front of the fire shocked them, Red'fang took notice of someone familiar standing in front of the blazes.
