Walking the Border

[J/o/y!]

<sub>Deathstrike was about to retort at Fangscar, that piteous idiot who barely knew anything and was no match for Deathstrike's eye-sparking intelligence and skill. The golden brown tom would've liked to spring at Fangscar and claw his life out but held his ground. "Thanks, Nightpaw. Now I have SoulClan fur to shred!" He sprung back into battle, and slammed a paw into a dazed Joysong's head. He smiled evilly and whispered, "There there. I'll just do you a favor and give you a nice, slow death."

Joysong, however, would not take that as a statement. She hissed quietly, "Deathstrike, to kill me you'll have to win in a fight with me first. And that'll never happen." She got up and pretended to aim and blow at Fangscar, but at the last minute she whipped to the side and raked thorn-sharp claws on the golden tom's shoulder. Deathstrike decided he was going to deal with Stormheart and let Joysong claw the blood out of Fangscar, those two idiots. Three, including Stormheart.

While Joysong clenched her teeth hard around Fangscar's scruff and threw him against a tree, making sure his head rammed hard, Deathstrike snuck up on Stormheart and struck her in the head. I gotta stop using this paw. Soon it'll be red instead of black with SoulClan blood, he thought, and the thought was satisfying.</sub>[/color]

Cheetahfeather padded swiftly through the forest. A few Soulclan cats had wandered off and were yet to return. Yowls of battle rung in her ear drums. She leaped into the clearing to find several cats. Whisperstar, Stormheart, Joysong, Shattergaze, and others. Even a small loner. Her eyes widened in shock. A cat stood over her, shoving sticks in her skin to pin her down. "No..."

Cheetahfeather sped over quickly, barreling Firefang over. She couldn't keep him down for long, he was too big, or rather, she was too small. She battered his ears and her flung her off. " You leave that cat alone, you murderous tyrant!" she yowled with fury. Her fur bristled, though she was still small compared to him.

"And a wee little mouse like yourself is gonna stop me, eh?" he snickered harshly. Firefang waggled his tail in the air, taunting Cheetahfeather, agging her on." Welh? You gonna fight or not, you bloody bastard?" he hissed. His battle had only just begun.

"Awww, Firefang, you poor confused misfit. It's not a good thing to call yourself a name like that, though you are one." Cheetahfeather acted as though she was pouting and stuck her bottem lip out. She had had it with him. She quickly ran to his right, making a long scar down his flank. She skidded past him and came face to face with Stormheart." Oh, hello there." she mewed. She was so close, their noses were touching.

[.:.S.:.t.:.o.:.r.:.m.:.]

Stormheart jumped back when Cheetahfeather got right in her face, slamming into Deathstrike in the process. There was no time to talk with her now; she had to take down Deathstrike. Claws unsheathed, Stormheart slammed her paw across Deathstrike's face, sending him flying to the side. While he was momentarily dazed, Stormheart lunged at him, raking her sharp claws down his belly repeatedly. After a few moments of this Stormheart jumped back so Deathstrike couldn't attack her while she had him pinned, a small smile on her face.

This isn't good, Nightpaw thought as she watched the DeathClan cats fighting; they were doing just as good -or badly, in this case- as the SoulCats. Glancing down at her remaining herbs, Nightpaw frowned. I have enough, but I'm going to have to go out again and get more. I hope they kill all the SoulCats soon.[/color]

[firefang]

Cheetahfeather felt a cat hit her in the side. She turned to see Firefang, his eyes blazing. "Talk about misfit!" he hissed. "You shouldn't talk like that! You have no clan blood whatsoever! At least I have civilized blood! You have rouge blood! Your worth nothing!" Tears welled up in her eyes and she did all she could to hold them back. They streamed down her face. He had hit her weak spot and he knew it.

Fangscar ran over to Firefang, laughing cruely. "HA! Looks like you have a cry-baby on your paw!" he snickered. Firefang gave a smile of malice. "Quite." he said shortly. " You take that back!" Cheetahfeather cried, her voice cracked. She winced and wiped her tears away. If She wanted to prove herself, she had to stop crying.

[firefang]

(hell0?)

[.:.S.:.t.:.o.:.r.:.m.:.]

Nightpaw smiled at Cheetahfeather, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh no, don't insult her, she'll get so mad she'll flood us with her tears of rage!" She said cruely, sarcasm dripping through her words. Her claws unsheathed incase the pathetic she-cat tried to fight with her; oh, how enjoyable that'd be! To make her cry and cry and cry, and then to kill her with a couple of swipes of her paw. Nightpaw was just imagining it now, and her lips curled up into a smirk at the thought. Killing another SoulCat; that'd make her total number of SoulClan kills go up to four.

Stormheart growled at the three DeathClan cats who were taunting Cheetahfeather. Who did they think they were, ganging up on her like that? What a show of 'toughness'; they couldn't even take her down without help from their friends. Putting a smile on her face, Stormheart walked away from Deathstrike; he seemed like he wouldn't get up any time soon. As she strolled over to the four cats, her smile turning into a grin, she looked over each of the DeathClan cats with a look of disgrace. "How sad, you can't even fight her own battles," she said, shaking her head as if in pity. "That's sad; very sad. I thought you guys were supposed to be tough?"[/color]

[firefang]

Cheetahfeather covered her eyes with her paw. She sniffled and peeked over, her eyes glinted. She leaped up suddenly, knocking Firefang off his paws. She raked her claws across his face and flipped him into Fangscar. They grunted and she purred. "Now, what were you saying?"she pursed her lips (Lack there of XD).

Fangscar growled, pulling himself up. He glared at the she-cat. He padded till they were touching noses. He huffed in her face and she recoiled." Dude! Seriously. Ever heard of mint?" she meowed, flaring her nostrils.

[.:.S.:.t.:.o.:.r.:.m.:.]

Nightpaw snarled at the she-cat; who'd she think she was messing with? Without saying anything Nightpaw lunged, tackling Cheetahfeather to the ground and managing to give her a few vicious bites before jumping back. Then, while Cheetahfeather was stunned she dove under her, raking her claws along her belly in the process. She then rolled out from the side, jumping up and ripping deep into her back.

Stormheart tackled Fangscar, grabbing him by his scruff and throwing him into Firefang, leaving them both dazed. While they were dazed she ripped deeply into them, sending chunks of flesh and blood and fur flying everywhere.

[firefang]

Cheetahfeather circled Nightpaw. She bounced back and forth, slashing through her skin. Nightpaw tried to attack but her speed was no match to Cheetahfeather's. She lunged for Nightpaw's leg and bit down hard. She heard a Snap! and let go, her eyes wide with shock.

(Fire)Fang grabbed Stormheart by the throat and refused to let go. Blood oozed through his teeth. He kicked out and unbalanced Stormheart. Fangscar slid underneath Stormheart. He sliced her belly and sprang up, knocking her off her paws.

[dreamkit]

Her tiny paws took her the long distance, her ears twitching as she followed the sounds of the other cats. She figured there was a fight nearby, and wanted to see it. It would be her first speculation of a fight, and she was excited about it. She had heard a lot about the fights; how they could be brutal but oh so entertaining. Dreamkit focused on the sounds coming not too far away, intent on watching. The noises started to get louder and louder by the second, right up until she stumbled across the felines who were already clawing at one another. She let out a small sound and jumped into a bush, keeping her nose to the ground and her rear in the air so she could watch and be ready for an attack, just in case.

Shadowgaze is in the DeathClan camp grooming herself when she hears screeches and battle cries. She shrugs it off at first; No one likes me anyways. She thinks, but then realizes; it's her Clanmates. They might need her, despite the fact that none of them like her.

Shadowgaze stands up and trots into the forest, following the battle cries and screeches. She scents the air to see if she could tell who it was, but all she could scent was blood. She finally reaches the battle scene, and peers through the bushes. There's so many of them. Reminds me of my last fight... She thinks to herself as she replays the scene quickly in her mind once more. She suddenly gets drawn out of her memories when she hears a loud screech that sounded like a cat in pain. She leaps down into the fight and pins down a large white and orange tom that was trying to attack a DC cat. "DeathClan will conquer you!" She growls as she digs her claws into his shoulders

[Wind:.*.:Stone]

Windrunner runs from her place where she was napping, just now hearing the sounds of battle, and she runs though the forest like lighting, or... wind.
At least I can live up to my name....Hopefully I can live up to the warrior code
Her blue eyes spark as she finds the battle, shaking in excitement, this was her first fight as a warrior. Windrunner throws herself into the brawl, ripping at any cat with the horrible sent of DeathClan.


Stonekit creeps up though the bushes: She had followed one on the DC warriors to the fight, and she was itching to prove her self, sick of being a kit. It was her time to shine, and with that thought, she gets ready to join the fight, her tail swishing in anticipation.

[.:.S.:.t.:.o.:.r.:.m.:.]

Stormheart smiled as she saw Windrunner; good, another SoulClan cat. Turning back to Firefang and Fangscar, she lunged at the closer one, Firefang, and tore into his face with her claws, before ripping them around to the side of his throat. While he was down she turned to Fangscar, jumping up and landing squarely on his back, sending him to the ground with an 'oof'. She turned her green gaze to Windrunner, and help flashed through her eyes; she couldn't take on these two DeathClan cats alone without being pretty badly injured.

Nightpaw stepped back as she heard the same snap Cheetahfeather heard; her leg as Cheetahfeather bit down on it. Then suddenly she let go, but why? Nightpaw took this great opportunity to dig her teeth into her neck, while she ripped her claws ferociously down her back. She didn't use her front right leg, though; the one Cheetahfeather had bit down on. While she was viciously tearing into Cheetahfeather she flexed her leg; it wasn't broken, the bone had simply just cracked out of place for a second, nothing too serious. Turning her eyes, but keeping herself fastened onto Cheetahfeather, she saw another SoulClan warrior, another DeathClan warrior, and the smell of two kits; one SoulKit and one DeathClan kit.

[Wind:.*.:Stone]

Windrunner leaps on Fangscar's back, biting down on his ear and running her back legs down his spine, hoping that Stormheart could handle the other. She's suddenly thrown off the DeathCat's back, and she twists in mid air to land lightly on her feet. She hisses and knocks Firefang off of Stormheart with a low growl. Her blue eyes flash in anger when she see's some of Stormhearts wounds, rage running though her. How dare any one hurt one of her clan mates!?

[.:.S.:.t.:.o.:.r.:.m.:.]

Nightpaw padded away from Cheetahfeather, toward the scent of the SoulKit, seeing as -for the moment, at least- Cheetahfeather was too hurt to move or fight. Sure, Nightpaw could kill her now, but she decided to not; watching the SoulCat's faces as the bleeding body of one of their precious kits was much more entertaining. If Cheetahfeather was still not up by that time, she would kill her, and finish her job of killing the kit. Nightpaw's eyes blazed with excitement; what a great plan! Watching the SoulCats cry and mourn over their fallen; what could be better than that? As she followed the scent of the kit, Nightpaw discovered the scent leading to a small, weak-looking battle-ready kit. How pathetic, she thought, swiping her paw at the kit and landing a hard blow to her head, causing her to fall to the ground bleeding. "Hello, little SoulKit," she said, her lips curling upward into a sadastic smile, her teeth gleaming in the light.

Stormheart smiled gratefully at Windrunner, smashing into Firefang with every ounce of strength and speed she could muster, which managed to send him flying back, ramming his head into one of the many tall, hard trees. Her tail swished from side to side as she waited for him to stand up. In the few moments it took him Stormheart had already thought of many different battle strategies depending on the way he got up and took his stance. She whipped her head around, lunging at him, claws unsheathed, digging deeply into his fur and pinning him back against the tree, smashing him in the head with her one free paw, causing him to again bash his head into the hard, rough bark. Oh this is just border-lining pathetic, she thought, stopping herself from rolling her eyes.[/color]

[Wind:.*.:Stone]

Stonekit watches Nightpaw cross over to the other kit and she runs over to Nightpaw, walking along side her and stopping when she dose.
"What are you going to do with the kit?" She asks, looking up at her clan mate, her copper eyes blank of emotion. The kit wasn't used to killing yet.... But she couldn't let any one know that the thought bothered her. She would be bashed and hated among the DeathClan cats.

Windrunner nods to Stormheart and turns to watch Nightpaw stalk over to a kit, followed by a kit of DeathClan.
Sick.... She thinks, narrowing her eyes. How can any clan let an apprentice kill? DeathClan, that's who.... Windrunner crosses over to the DeathCats, and standing over the kit of her clan. She growls at Nightpaw.
"Leave the kits of SoulClan alone..." She growls, looking fearsome, her eyes flashing in rage.

[firefang]

Cheetahfeather lunged, grasping Nightpaw by the throat. She slammed her down and struck her many times on the under-belly. She grasped her by the neck and twisted her till she heard a crack. She dragged Nightpaw into the bushes. She licked her chest in anxiety. Could she really do this?(Btw: No I didn't kill her, just cracked her neck! Luv to do that!)

Fangscar grappled with Stormheart. He battered her chest while Fang crunched down on her hind leg. He tugged hard and felt stormheart shift. Fang lifted his head with a claw in his mouth. Fangscar snickered and bit her on the throat. He stamped his leg hard on her paw.

OOC: Okay, I have read NONE of this so I'm just gonna kind of jump in. And good song to go with this I think is Through The Fire and Flames by DragonForce :3

Frogpaw dashed out of SoulClan camp, the fur along her spine raised. She looked around franticly for a target to attack. She hissed and dashed toward Fangscar claws unsheathed and talked the tabby tom head on. She swiped her paws furiously feeling the blood well up between them. She was careful not to get under the huge tom, with his huge size and with her so tiny, Frogpaw would get smashed. Frogpaw continued to slash at the DeathClan tom, each blow becoming more powerful. '' Go back to your filthy camp you stupid DeathClan cat '' she hissed at him.

[firefang]

Fangscar flipped around to see the tiny apprentice. He roared and pinned her down. He clawed powerfully down her exposed belly and felt her tremble under him. He scratched at her eyes and bit the tip of her tail off. He ran back to Stormheart and leaped on her back, clawing at her spine.

Cheetahfeather narrowed her eyes." Nightpaw, don't attack me. I'm one of you." she bowed her head." I wish to side with Deathclan. I hold deep grudges and have realized ?I don't want to be critisized for being different." she growled truthfully, her eyes flashing.

[yellow]

OOC: Every paragraph it will go from Frogpaw to Autumnstorm okay xD

Frogpaw felt like her body was searing in pain, she closed her eyes for a second, willing herself to give up. No! a strong voice said in her ear. The voice was right, she couldn't give up. Frogpaw got to her paws and started running toward Fangscar again, with renewed strength. Frogpaw prepared to spring at him but then someone grabbed her painfully by the scruff.

Autumnstorm held the puny apprentice between her jaws, '' Not so fast little kitty! '' she hissed through Frogpaw's fur, though she knew Frogpaw couldn't hear her. She tossed Frogpaw aside like a rag doll. She turned to face Frogpaw so she could her lips. '' I'm going to teach you not to trespass the hard way. '' Autumnstorm hissed as she stalked toward the deaf apprentice.

Frogpaw flew through the air, the colors of pelts swirling past her vision. She landed with a soft thud on the forest floor. '' I'm going to teach you not to trespass the hard way. '' Frogpaw read off Autumnstorm's lips. She hissed in defiance and sprang to her paws. She sprang at Autumnstorm as fast as lightning, the DeathClan she~cat was quite skinny under all that fluff. She knocked Autumnstorm off her paws and then the wrestled on the leaf strewn ground.

Autumnstorm yowled in surprise as the apprentice knocked her off her paws but then she began lashing at her, while Frogpaw did the same. They rolled around on the ground kicking up leaves. Finally Autumnstorm separated herself from Frogpaw and stood there panting, and wound across her cheek bleeding pretty badly. Frogpaw stood a few tail lengths away from her, panting but she had no severe wounds like her and she had a smug smile on her face. '' You think you're so big and bad don't you? '' Autumnstorm hissed. '' Well then you have another thing coming! '' She yowled and lunged at Frogpaw slicing open her throat.

Frogpaw fell the ground, her throat on her fire and bleed spewing from it. Her vision started to get fuzzy, Autumnstorm's smug face swimming in and out of view. She could feel StarClan calling to her, welcoming her to her new home. No... she wasn't going to leave like this. Frogpaw strained but got to her paws, still bleeding severely. '' I'm not going down that easily! '' Frogpaw mewed and then sliced Autumnstorm's throat open. She flopped back down to the ground and closed her eyes, now she was ready for StarClan.

Autumnstorm stood above the dying apprentice, laughing evilly. Her laughter echoed through the forest sounding slightly eerie. Suddenly her laughter stopped, her eyes were huge as she watched Frogpaw get to her paws. Before Autumnstorm could react the SoulClan apprentice had cut open her throat and then sh fell down. '' No, no, no! '' She yowled to the night as she watched the blood gush out, still on her paws. '' Ack! '' and with that Auumnstorm fell to the ground, dead like Frogpaw.

OOC: DUN DUN DUUUUUN
