Sparrowpaw watched as MouseClan attacked HawkClans weak warriors. A large HawkClan tom screeched as he was dragged down to the ground.
Sparrowpaw raced forward and tried to help the tom, but it was too late. Blood pooled around the toms pelt and soaked into his once soft fur.
"Squirrelpaw, help me" Claypaw, a HawkClan apprentice called for his littermate.
Sparrowpaw raced towards the screech and found the small tom cornered against the Split Rock.
"Leave him alone you bullies" Squirrelpaw yowled and slashed at the attackers.
Sparrowpaw raced forward and stood beside the young apprentice, prepared to fight for her clanmates.
"Watch out" Squirrelpaw said and Sparrowpaw dodged the claws of a MouseClan warrior.
"Squirrelpaw, take Claypaw and get back to camp. Don't stop until you reach the camp" Sparrowpaw said and knocked a MouseClan warrior away to make a gap for the apprentices.
"Go" Sparrowpaw said and shoved the apprentice through the gap with Claypaw following.
"You are all alone now apprentice" a ginger tom growled and his jaws dripped with blood.
"Think again mouse-brain" a growl sounded from the rock.
Sparrowpaw looked and saw two familiar pelts on the rock above. Silverwillow and Bonestar had come to her aid.
"Go pick on something your own size" Silverwillow yowled and caught a MouseClan warrior on his ear.
Bonestar picked up one of the small warriors by the scruff and shook him like a piece of fresh-kill.
The warrior dropped the the ground, his neck jutting out at an awkward angle. The other warriors saw this and started backing up.
Bonestar yowled a battle cry and lunged toward the nearest warrior, crushing the MouseClan warriors small spine.
Silverwillow leapt at the ginger tom and sliced her claws along the toms throat, spraying blood across her beautiful silver pelt.
"Warriors are not supposed to kill" Sparrowpaw said and looked at her mentor in utter confusion.
"Look around Sparrowpaw, MouseClan is killing us. If we don't kill them as well, we will be outnumbered soon" Silverwillow said.
"Just slice your claws along their throat and move on. It is gruesome, but you do what you must in times like these" Bonestar said and dropped the body of yet another dead MouseClan warrior.
