Three broad-shouldered rogues filed out in front of Ashcloud. Fear gripped her, who was she supposed to beat three rogues? I'm a medicine Cat! A small tortoiseshell she-cat stepped forward, muscles rippled through her well-groomed pelt. Two toms stood behind her, a black tabby and a fawn coloured cat with splashes of white. The rogue she-cat hissed, baring her yellow teeth. Ashcloud flinched, "Please, what are you doing here?", the dappled grey she-cat pleaded. The tortoiseshell laughed evilly, flicking her tail. "You'll find out soon enough" Quick as lighting the rogue flashed a paw across the medicine cat's muzzle, Ashcloud yowled in alarm. She only knew a few basic moves, she was as good as a dead mouse. The toms' stepped forward, eyes glinting maliciously "Flint, Leo..." She paused to lick her bloodied claw "Get her"

The black tom- Ashcloud guessed he was Flint -lunged for her. Leo spun around and landed a blow on her ear. She tried to slash at Flint's face but was too slow. Growling, she put all her rage into energy. She aimed her unsheathed claws at the she-cat, satisfaction burned in Ashcloud as she saw surprise in the rouge's yellow eyes. Birds fluttered up Ito the air, away from the noise. "So, Clan cat" The tortoiseshell she-cat seethed "Let's see what you've got" she slammed a paw on Ashcloud's head, she fell like a leaf. Leo nipped her hind leg as Flint clawed her ear. She growled and jumped on top of the 'leader' of the group, pinning the she-cat to the sandy floor. She lunged for her shoulder, sinking her teeth in and getting a good grip. She yowled in agony scrabbling free. The toms continued to attack Ashcloud, blood poured out of to many injuries to count.

A muscular, long-legged ginger splotched tom padded out from the bushes. More rouges? Ashcloud looked around desperately for help. Two she-cats and a tom slithered out of the undergrowth, circling Ashcloud, who was still in the grip of Flint. "Violet, that's enough" the ginger tom meowed "We are taking her with us" Violet-the tortoiseshell she-cat-dipped her head. "Yes, Cyril" Ashcloud felt her heart beating fast, what's happening?
