Chapter 1…x
"Ugh, Not Metalclan again!" Skullstep spat with disgust. Kestrelwing, one of the senior warriors, stepped forward and also sniffed the ground.
"It is them! This has gone too far." He rose his head back up and turned to the patrol. It consisted of 3 warriors and 3 apprentices; Kestrelwing, Loverush and Skullstep, then Opalpaw, Crimsonpaw and Sunpaw.
"I need one of you to quickly return to camp and tell Mintstar. I'm afraid that we might bash into them further on." He gestured with his nose at the trees.
"Me! ME!!!" Sunpaw mewed eagerly, swishing her fluffy tail wildly.
"Hurry." Loverush whispered, pushing her in the direction of camp. Sunpaw sped off quickly and was gone in seconds.
"Skullstep, Opalpaw, stay here. Crimsonpaw, Loverush and I will investigate beyond the bushes, and you may follow when Sunpaw comes back with help." Kestrelwing ran forward, Loverush following close behind.
"Do you think I'll get to kick those mousebrain's butts?" Crimsonpaw sniggered to Opalpaw.
"If you do, wait for me." Opalpaw grinned before padding to Skullstep's side. Crimsonpaw rolled his eyes and went to catch up his group.
Unfortunately, Crimsonpaw had run right into an argument against Metalclan cats. He froze, and it took a few moments before he bared his teeth and raised his hackles.
"See! They're going to attack us!" One of the cats protested.
"No, this is an apprentice that was coming with us anyway." Loverush hissed.
"Shame. Because we are going to attack you!" A huge tabby tom meowed with a dangerous glare. The Metalclan cats launched, full power, towards the 3 Rainclan cats.
"HELP!!!" Crimsonpaw yowled.
