"RainClan - attack!"
At the sound of his Clan leader's battle cry, Stoneclaw launched himself down the slope after his Clanmates, yowling furiously. His paws slipped on the rain-slicked ground as he ran. Thunder boomed in the sky overhead; flashes of lightning illuminated the cats in the clearing below. They were shocked, their pelts bristling and their eyes flashing in terror. Stoneclaw felt a prick of satisfaction; his Clan had the advantage. Their rivals in SunClan certainly hadn't been expecting a raid on their camp in the middle of the night.
The yowls and screeches of battling cats filled the air as RainClan crashed into the clearing, claws and teeth flashing in the clouded moonlight. Stoneclaw launched himself into the fight, bowling over a nearby warrior as she raced past. The SunClan cat quickly scrambled to her paws, eyes lit with fury; she whirled around, raking her claws down the RainClan deputy's muzzle. Stoneclaw yowled in pain as blood dripped onto his chest, but he recovered quickly, twisting to sink his teeth into the warrior's tail. The SunClan cat let out a screech and kicked him off, scrambling away into the undergrowth.
Stoneclaw flicked his tail, smirking. That's right, run.
Suddenly, a body crashed into Stoneclaw's, sending him tumbling to the wet ground. The gray deputy yowled in surprise as sharpened claws dug into his flanks; he leaped up with all his might, unbalancing the other warrior. Stoneclaw whirled around to face a pale tabby tom; his fur was bristling, his eyes sparking with rage as he scrambled to his paws. Stoneclaw recognized the SunClan cat as Yarrowtail; he'd seen him at Gatherings.
Stoneclaw narrowed his eyes, letting his claws slide out of their sheathes. Before he had time to plan his next move, however, Yarrowtail lunged, scoring his claws down the RainClan deputy's already-bleeding flank. Stoneclaw cried out in pain; while he was distracted, the pale tabby twisted to rake his ears. Coming back to his senses, Stoneclaw whipped around, throwing Yarrowtail to the sodden grass. He pinned the SunClan warrior down with large paws; Yarrowtail battered the gray warrior's belly with claws as sharp as dog's teeth.
Stoneclaw gritted his teeth against the pain; he wasn't going to lose this battle. Lunging forward, the RainClan deputy sunk his teeth into Yarrowtail's throat; a gush of salty blood spurted into his mouth. Yarrowtail flailed his limbs, kicking out with his hind paws; a gargled screech burst from the SunClan warrior's throat. Stoneclaw's sides heaved, blood dripping from his jaws; he was barely aware that the battle around him had come to a halt as cats from both Clans turned to see what was happening.
Stoneclaw stepped off Yarrowtail's motionless body, the taste of the rival warrior's blood stinging his mouth. His mind was numb, his paws nearly slipping on the blood-soaked grass as he backed away.
Yarrowtail was dead.
