Windflower and Dogshade rushed to the ViperClan deputy.
"I'm fine.. It's going to take more than a young cat to wear me out.." She breathed, glaring at the young deputy. Sneakingfoot hissed.
"I expected you lot to train like the warriors you are," Foxstar eyed all of his cats. "Not to fight like a bunch of kits!" His voice grew loud, causing a cat or two to flinch or wish they'd shrink in their pelt.
Yellowheart walked up. "They were training but Sneakingfoot was being an idiot and caused a fight." He explained. "Is that right?" Foxstar asked his tone hard as ice, looking at Sneakingfoot. Yellowheart nodded. Aspenspark stepped forward. "He commented on me being blind and Dawnreed defended me. He struck first."
"In my day, if we were to do this type of stuff," Clearcloud rasped. "We would get more clouts over our ears than fleas on a mangey dog.." She and some of the elders of the four clans had opted to watch and give advice. Clawpelt, Tasha, and Jadepelt all lazily flicked their tails. Brightstripe nuzzled Silverwing. A bone chilling scream pierced the forest. Yellowheart knew that yowl. "Eagle?!"
Splashfur parted her jaws to taste the air. "I smell him! He's this way!" She pointed with a paw to where the continuous pained yowling was coming from. A snarl sounded along with his screams. Deep into the territory. Eagle, still blind and sightless exploded from the undergrowth and in front of the cats. "It's after me," the wolf chomped on his leg hard, grabbing him, shaking him like a squirrel. The patrol had swarmed over the wolf forcing it to let go.
The cats were biting on the wolf's fur. The wolf need one hit on the lower back to be over. Wolves howling in sequence could be heard. A band of wolves were coming.
"Fall back!" Foxstar ordered. "Fall back! Retreat!" He yowled. More cats ran yowling and shrieking and hissing. Clamoring on the wolves.
A wolf suddenly had Brightstripe cornered, she stood frozen trembling, her eyes glittering with fear. Suddenly, a black and white tabby barreled into the wolf's side. "Starshine!" A voice yowled.
The ViperClan she-cat, dazed at first for a heartbeat, was being grabbed by the wolf.
Thunder crashed the sky and the wolf spirit came down from the sky and growled at the wolves, seeming to have threatened them with a growl. They went scampering and fleeing away. Starshine was on the ground, writhing and twitching slightly. Two StarClan warriors padded up to them. The cats all stared wide eyed and open mouthed in shock. "Who are you two..?" Chara asked.
"I am Ambertail and this is Curlsnout." Meowed the first cat.
"Mom!" Mossfur wailed to Starshine. "No, no, no!"
She lay twitching, loosing blood slightly.
The first starry cat padded over to her. "Hush. She will survive. She's only in shock." She told her.
"Come, it's time we take her and ourselves back to camp." Feralstorm meowed.
Brightstripe looked down at her paws. "She didn't have to do that..." She whimpered.
Ambertail looked at Brightstripe. "You would have done the same yes?" She asked.
She only nodded her head in reply. "That's what a loyal warrior would do. She will be alright Brightstripe." The she-cat meowed.
Silverwing nuzzled into her mate's neck.
"You all stay safe and Foxstar?"
"Yes?" He mewed.
"Beware the sneaking cat who fights because of the pain in his heart." She told him. He opened his mouth to ask what that meant, but the second StarClan cat meowed, "You will know what that means in time.." She flicked her tail. "Darkness will arise again if the sneaking cat is not stopped." Ambertail mewed and walked through the bushes. Her companion followed behind her as the cats of the four clans went back to their camps.
