Wolfheart nodded, perking up a little. "Yeah, you're right, race you!" he said playfully, taking off for the tree grove. "Come on slowpoke!"

Spottedfrost bounded after him, making sure her paws stayed dry due to earlier rains. She reached the Tree Grove, out of breath, and seconds after Wolfheart. She swatted him with her tail. She looked around and scented the air. "Do you smell badger?"

Wolfheart ducked her tail, chuckling softly. He opened his mouth slightly, scenting the air as well. Mouse....Finch...stale fox...and fresh badger. He nodded silently, his eyes narrowing. "Yeah, and it's pretty fresh." he agreed, his eyes scanning the trees around them.

Spottedfrost felt herself draw closer to the dark gray tom beside her. She had never faced a badger before. And she had hoped she'd never have to. "It's fresh alright. And from the smell of it, it's close too."

Wolfheart was so focused on the badger scent, he didn't even feel the blush that warmed his skin under his fur when Spottedfrost moved closer to him. "Yes...it's upwind, and heading our direction." He had faced a badger once, knowing not to get in it's way. "Move to that old tree, with the hollow, quickly!" he hissed, nudging her towards it. "I'm right behind you!" as the last words were spoken, you could hear the cracking and breaking of twigs and underbrush.

She raced lightly to the old tree, trembling in the hollow. She drew closer to her denmate, eyes wide. "What if it smells-" She stopped speaking when a huge male badger thrust its way to the clearing they had been in moments before. She shrunk closer to the back of the tree, pressing herself close to Wolfheart.

Wolfheart froze, his eyes trained on the badger. His blue eyes studied him, looking over the claws, teeth, and it's eyes. He heard her question, holding his breath slightly. "We're downwind....he shouldn't..." he whispered.

Spottedfrost forced herself to stop trembling. What a way to set a good impression, you mousebrain! She mentally swatted herself with her tail. "What are we going to do, Wolfheart?"

Wolfheart was silent a moment, then looked to Spottedfrost, his eyes glowing in the darkness of the hollow. "We have two options. Wait him out, let him move along then run to camp to tell the others. Or two, face him and fight. I'm ready for whatever you choose." he said, keeping his voice low.

"How long do you think he will stay?" she whispered. The badger was nosing under leaves, making a ruckus. She turned back toward Wolfheart. "What do you think we should do?"

Wolfheart shrugged, his eyes back on the badger. "Well, they are pretty slow and mousebrained...I'm no sure." he replied, shaking his head. He turned back to her, their eyes meeting when she asked the question. "I think we should fight. We can't have a badger in Rainclan, it's not good for the rest of the clan. You up for it?"

Spottedfrost took deep breath. StarClan help me! "Let's do it." She looked back at him, trying to calm her nerves. "Are you ready?" She tried to lighten the mood with a swat of her tail. "Don't chicken out, Wolfheart." But her heart wasn't in it.

Wolfheart smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'm right beside you." he said warmly, licking her cheek and darting out of the hollow. He was glad for the darkness of the hollow so that she didn't see the blush warming his face. Then, concentrating at the task at hand, he barreled into the badger, knocking himself and it to the ground.

Spottedfrost raced after him, leaping on top of the badger from behind, diggig her claws into the dense fur. She bit down into his ear, hearing him roar in anger, trying to reach her. She looked toward Wolfheart.

Wolfheart got to his feet, unsheathing his claws. He met Spottedfrost's gaze, then looked towards the badger, their eyes meeting. It roared again and he lunged at it, swiping a claw across the badger's face. He jumped back, but not in time to avoid ablow to the head that sent him tumbling back.

Spottedfrost hissed, moving onto the badger's thick head. He howled angrily, whipping his head back and forth, attempting to shake her off. "Wolfheart, go for his eyes!"

Wolfheart got to his feet shakily, blinking and shaking his head, trying to stop the forest from spinning. He nodded to Spottedfrost, darting up and swiping a claw across the badgers eyes. The cry of pain and rage meant he had hit his mark. "Get away from it Spottedfrost!" he called.

She leaped lightly and far away from the badger. Spottedfrost watched as the badger thrashed his head wildly, his eyes trickling blood due to the wound Wolfheart had inflicted. She almost felt bad for it, but badgers are notorious creatures, so the feeling was quickly diminished. "Should we get out of here?"

Wolfheart was silent a minute, blinking and trying to fix his blurred vision. "Y-yeah.." he said, taking a step towards Spottedfrost, faltering in step as the forest started spinning again and there was two of Spottedfrost. He felt something warm and sticky trickle down the side of his head. Blood. His legs shook and he felt his legs give way beneath him.

Spottedfrost stood still for a moment, not processing what was happening. When she figured it out, she gasped, "Wolfheart!" She scrambled over, nosing his side, but when he didn't get up she let out a cry. "Somebody help!" She struggled to get his neck scruff into her mouth, and she started dragging him back to camp.
OOC: I'm gonna start a thread in RainClan camp, OK?
