Jayleaf padded into camp after Redscorch, panting hard. Redscorch had unsurprisingly won and he wasn't panting at all. Cinderspirit slowly dragged herself in after them, followed by Butterblaze.
"Good race." Redscorch meowed.
"You too." Jayleaf meowed once he had finally caught his breath.
Yowls suddenly sounded from outside the camp. Frantic yowls of fear and pain. Then there was a barking noise.
"Dog!" Brackenpelt yowled, racing towards the thorn barrier to help the cats fighting it.
Redscorch raced after him, followed by Jayleaf. Redscorch stopped suddenly, looking hesitant.
"Come on!" Jayleaf yowled over the barking at him. "Our clan needs us!"
He raced past the dark ginger tom and into the forest. Ten dogs. That's what he saw. A couple cats were already bleeding badly, yet still fighting. The dogs barked viciously, drooling the cats' blood. Fear raced through Jayleaf.
There was no way they were going to beat these dogs.
