Mapleshade's POV.
Mapleshade walked along the border, pausing every once in a while to remark it, and check for any signs of OceanClan crossing the border. She walked proudly, like she had just won a massive battle. She was patrolling with Thistleclaw, and he was on the lookout for any OceanClan warriors. His ears were perked high, his ears prepared to receive any noises. Mapleshade was very bored. "Do you think we should cause a bit of havoc, Thistleclaw?" He looked excited at the prospect of causing harm. "I would love that, Mapleshade." She nodded, and they crossed the border in unison, leaving a very obvious trail of scent.
They went to the waterfall, thinking if any of the warriors or the medicine cat were there, they could rough them up a bit. They went to the top of the waterfall, and saw that the medicine cat and a warrior were gathering herbs. She looked at Thistleclaw, and they came to a soundless agreement. Thistleclaw jumped on the warrior and
Mapleshade jumped on the medicine cat.
The medicine cat shook Mapleshade off her back. Thistleclaw weighed down the injure warrior so she couldn't move. . Thistleclaw smiled. The medicine cat, Cherryleaf, Mapleshade remembered from the gatherings, started running to camp. Mapleshade ran straight after her, and tackled her to the ground.
Thistleclaw disengaged from the warrior, and raked his claws down her side, creating a huge gash. The warrior let out a cry of pain, and kicked Thistleclaw into the brush, but he jumped back at her and clawed her eye, creating a large wound across her eye. He laughed, and ran off to help Mapleshade with Cherryleaf. Mapleshade had Cherryleaf pinned to the ground, and she was writhing, trying to break loose, but Mapleshade was too strong.
Mapleshade heard "CHERRYLEAF", and then the warrior jumped at Mapleshade, and began to claw her face. She dug her fangs into her neck, and then suddenly she was off of Mapleshade, ripped off by Thistleclaw, whom she proceeded to kick in the chest, and whipped around to face him. She leaped at him and clawed down his ear, creating yet another nick, but was then hit on the head by Antpelt. He dug his claws into her throat, but a Grey figure knocked them away.
Thistleclaw ran over, and stood in front of Cherryleaf, looking very smug. "I hope you like it in Starclan, Medicine Cat. It'll be such fun." He slit Cherryleaf's throat with one small movement, watching as her blood drained to the ground.
Mapleshade started dragging her dead body towards the edge of the waterfall, and she kicked it off, watching it fall slowly to the water, spiraling.
Swallowtail's POV
Swallowtail was padding through the path to the herbs' location when she was knocked off her paws and pinned to the ground by an unknown gray figure. Her nose was filled with the scent of ShadeClan. She yowled in pain as he tore into her flesh, his long, jagged claws ripping down her side, forming a long, deep gash that was sure to leave a scar for eternity.
She kicked him off, digging her claws into his belly and throwing him into the brush, but she was knocked over once more and he created another deep gash, this one along her eye, also sure to be a scar for life. He leaped off to leave her screeching in pain, and suddenly she heard an ear-splitting yowl. Her eyes snapped open. "CHERRYLEAF!" She screeched, her pain quickly shifting to a full-out rage.
She leaped at Mapleshade, knocking her over, and she began to shred her face, digging at her flesh like a dog digging up a bone. She had dug her fangs into her neck when she was ripped away, kicking and spitting at the cat that did so. She kicked the cat- who just happened to be Thistleclaw again- in the chest and whipped around to face him, her eyes clouded with hate. She leaped at him and clawed down his ear, creating yet another nick, but was then hit on the head by Antpelt.
She felt blood well up on the claws that had begun to tear into her throat, but a bulky gray figure knocked them away and dragged her to safety. "G-grayfish?" She spit out blood and blinked rapidly, clearing her vision. "Ch…Cherryleaf's dead." She murmured, her eyes closing.
Antpelt's POV.
Antpelt was looking across the border, looking for Mapleshade and Thistleclaw, who were supposed to be back a while ago. There was nobody there. Then his erect ears detected the faint sound of cats going to battle, and he signaled his patrolling mates with a flick of his tail, and they ran towards the noise. They arrived to see OceanClan warriors entering the scene from a different side, and Mapleshade and Thistleclaw dealing with one other cat. Antpelt ran over, followed closely by his other patrol members on his heels. He jumped into battle, knocking the cat on the head, and grabbing her neck with his long, sharp claws. A large, thick Grey cat knocked his paws away, and pulled her to safety.
Swallowtail's POV
Swallowtail's eyes opened in the medicine den. Only 3 other cats were there, gladly. "Wh-what happened? Who won?" She asked, lifting her head to look around the room.
"We did. And I have excellent news." The injured warrior looked up to see Wavestar hovering over her, him having a long scar across the left side of his face, down across his noze and to the bottom of the right side. It had obviously been recently treated, because there was no trace of blood left on his fur or scar (That was bleeding heavily anyways.) "You killed Mapleshade." He grinned, his short but sharp fangs revealing a tiny bit of blood remaining from the battle. She leaped to her paws, ignoring all signs of pain or infection in her wounds. "Just because she's dead doesn't mean this is over." She growled, stalking out of the den.
WARNING, VERY DETAILED AND GROSS PART RIGHT HERE!
Swallowtail sat by where the battle was, staring at the dead body of Mapleshade. "Just because your body is dead doesn't mean this battle is over. Your soul still remains, and I plan to destroy it along with your destructive clan." She hissed, pushing her off the edge and watching as the sharp stones caught at her body, ripping it into chunks as it fell. She suddenly got an idea, and slid down after her. She was careful not to gain too much speed and she landed next to the torn form, ripping the head off of her body. She took the head and ventured into ShadeClan territory, now covered in Mapleshade's death scent. She carefully caught Mapleshade's head into the weaved branches of the arc making up the entrance of ShadeClan. No one was in the clearing to notice her, and she left, leaving the head to hang above the entrance.
Okay, Warning Over
Swallowtail washed all of Mapleshade's scent off of her and trotted into camp, her eyes darkened with the color of loathing. She paused at a puddle in the middle of camp, and took a breath. She looked down to see her face. Her left eye had a long fresh scar on it, and her left ear was torn. Her side had a long fresh scar along it as well. There were no other serious wounds that she could see or feel, and with that she walked off to her nest and laid down, falling asleep.
How was it? Review below! The ShadeClan characters were written by Ronan, and the OceanClan characters done by me! Could you see the difference? Please review! We need story suggestions, character suggestions, pairing suggestions, (Like, cats being mates and having kits), and even death suggestions! (MUAHAHAHA!) XP~ Bella
