Hunting

[á£Îmaý---♫♥]

Snake had whirled around, throwing her onto the ground. Honeyfrost had smiled in pleasure at the sight of the wound that she had managed to cause. She was just about to rise to her paws again when the rogue had pinned her down, his paws digging into her shoulders. Her yowl of pain escalated when fangs pierced the soft flesh in her neck. There was a flash of grey and than the pressure on neck and shoulders vanished. "Owlfoot!" she cried," NO!"

"Did you hear that?"
Maplepaw stood amongst the ferns, her ears flicking back and forth. She had been out hunting when she had lost sight of Hawkstar. But as she kept moving she could hear yowls and shrieks of cats fighting. Some sounded like someone was in pain.
Tussockwind nodded, his pelt brushing against hers. "Run back to camp Maplepaw and fetch help. I'll go have a look." Without replying, he vanished into the undergrowth and ran off to the Maple Grove.
Maplepaw swallowed and began heading back to camp, as quick as he legs could carry her. "HELP!" she yowled loudly.

((HERE TO POST AM I, SORRY!))

Hawkstar followed the cats warily with his eyes, seeing one of them tense and pounce. He hadn't expected the other to help and was pinned for a moment. He hissed, then yowled as he felt the teeth sink into his neck fur. "I would, but you wouldn't be welcome in Starclan!" he said angrily, then blinked as the cat disappeared. Honeyfrost! Quickly getting to his feet, he turned to Fang, baring his teeth and sinking them into the cats flank with a swipe to his ear. "Get out now!" he spat at the cowering cat before turning back to his warriors. Owlfoot had just taken the other rogue from Honeyfrost and he also knew his deputy didn't have much strength left. Racing to his side, he helped him pin down the rogue, clawing at his eyes and managing to slash across one. He then bit the tom's tail hard, nodding to Owlfoot to left him go. "Get lost while you still can. And don't let me catch sight of you in Rainclan again!"

Owlfoot released the rogue reluctantly, glaring at him as he jumped back. He never thought he would actually hate something so much. Well, he never expected to hate something at all. He sucked in air before collapsing under his own weight, exhaustion catching up to him. At least his wounds had stopped bleeding.

"Owlfoot!" Honeyfrost whimpered again. She rose awkwardly to her feet, swaying lightly with the combination of exhaustation and head rush. Still, she rushed to the tom's side, wincing with each pawstep. Please don't be dead! She crouched beside him and gently licked at the wounds on his muzzle.

"What happened?"
Tussockwind had burst in the Grove, his fur bristling along his back and flanks. The rogues had already fled but their scent still hung in the air. There was also the smell of blood which he guessed came from the large wounds around Honeyfrost's and Owlfoot's shoulders and necks. Hawkstar himself had few gashes but nothing major. The rogues had certaintly done their best to kill them.

Owlfoot breathed in deeply, sucking in air. It hurt to move. He'd just lay here for a while. He didn't even notice Honeyfrost run up beside him.

Hawkstar looked to the young warrior, thinking quickly about his two injured warriors. "Two rogues Tussockwind. Theses two were able to injure them enough so they won't be any trouble for now. But to see that they leave the territory, can you gather some warriors and have a patrol go? Have Wolfheart in charge and when you get back, get some others to help, along with the medicine cat!" he ordered with a nod of his head. His deputy was in trouble.

[á£Îmaý---♫♥]

Tussockwind nodded meekly. "I sent Maplepaw back to camp to fetch help. She'll know what to do. I'll get Wolfheart and some others then."
He turned and vanished back into the forest, his paws hitting the ground in rapid procession. He was one of the fastest cats in the Clan.

Maplepaw had already reached the grop and stood in the clearing, her sides heaving. "Hawkstar and some others have been attacked," she meowed loudly," Tussockwind said to get help. They're at the Grove."

Honeyfrost buried her face into Owlfoot's fur, the muscles in her neck aching from the small movement. "What do we do?" she asked Hawkstar, looking up at him with huge blue eyes. "What if....what if...?" The idea was unbearable and she went back to trying to get Owlfoot to stand. Each movement required energy she didn't have. She had woken early to go hunting so she hadn't eaten. Her head kept spinning and she sunk to ground, her legs unable to hold her weight.

((Should we create another board? And we don't exactly have a medicine cat anymore. ))

[heartnet]

((We have been having trouble with the medicine cat, haven't we? We have Sootpaw, the apprentice...and sure, we can move to camp))

"Thank you Tussockwind." the older cat gratefully said, taking a deep breath. True, he was still one of the youngest leaders, but losing a life drained you a little and this battle had too. He smiled slightly to honeyfrost, placing a tail on her shoulder as he sat down beside her. "We will do nothing. You need to rest. The others should be here soon." he replied soothingly, looking over his shoulder as he waited, ears pricked. "And he'll be fine."

[Redcloud]

Owlfoot huffed tiredly, sniffing the air. His good eye was closed, himself unable to keep it open. Pressure against his side told him Honeyfrost was near him. He'd recognize her scent anywhere.

((Should one of us create a board in camp about Tussockwind and Maplepaw asking for help? ))

[Redcloud]

(Hmmm...perhaps.)

If you do, are you going to wait for the medicine cat, or will Sootpaw be alone? xD

Wait for the chosen medecine cat would be best.
