Wrenpaw's point of view

"Nectarsong! Nectarsong!" Wrenpaw cried rushing towards the brown she-cat who still sat unable to move.

All around Wrenpaw was chaos ShadowClan, SkyClan, and ThunderClan we're all locked in battle with The kin Shadowmaw was flinging cats around left and right Wrenpaw ducked to the ground as Conefoot and Flowerstem got flung off Shadowmaw and crashed into the brackens.

Wrenpaw booked it for Nectarsong narrowly dodging Violetshine crashing on top of a Kin cat the beige tom screeched in pain trying to shake off Violetshine sending both cat's tumbling away.

Wrenpaw suddenly felt a surge of force crash into her looking up Wrenpaw saw Gullswoop, Whorlpelt, and Bristlefrost battling with a group of Kin cats Wrenpaw struggled to roll out of the way of the group of battling cats.

Staggering to her paws Wrenpaw looked back to Nectarsong Wrenpaw's heartrate dropped a bit as she saw Cloudmist attending to Nectarsong Wrenpaw ran over to help them but was tackled over by a tortoiseshell she-cat.

Wrenpaw struggled under the she-cats weight feeling a sharp pain as the she-cat raked her claws along her side Wrenpaw kicked at the she-cat's side desperately trying to get free, but the she-cat only gripped down on Wrenpaw harder keeping her pinned to the ground unable to get up.

Wrenpaw began to flail her paws about rapidly desperately trying to get free but could only feel a sharp pain on her throat as the she-cat's claws gripped tightly around her neck.

Wrenpaw's flailing began to slow she began to panic as she saw the she-cat raise her claw up for the finishing blow. Wrenpaw panicked rapidly turned her head avoiding the worse of the she-cats swipe but still getting a long nick on the back of her head the caused a searing pain.

Before the she-cat could try again a loud yowl cut through the air Wrenpaw caught a brief glimpse of Brackenstar's tortoiseshell pelt flying through the air towards Shadowmaw's face.

Windclan and Riverclan cats streamed into the clearing the she-cat was rapidly tackled over by Oatclaw finally allowing Wrenpaw to get up.

Windclan and Riverclan's arrival had shifted the battle dramatically the already outnumbered Kin were now hopelessly outmatched even Shadowmaw as mighty as he was struggled to deal with all the cats Wrenpaw saw the beast swing he's head wildly crushing Nettlesplash, Cinderheart, Slatefur, and Grassheart under him.

Wrenpaw saw Nectarsong limping her way to safety with the help of Cloudmist Wrenpaw saw a blue gray tom charging towards the two Wrenpaw sprang forward leaping across the clearing landing on the toms back throwing him of. The tom was thrown off by Wrenpaw though being much large then her easily threw her off sending Wrenpaw flying to the ground.

Wrenpaw got to her feet ready for the tom to retaliate but before the tom could lunge at her Cloudmist dropped from above landing on his back and sending the tom to the ground.

"Wrenpaw help Nectarsong I can handle this" Cloudmist ordered as she held down the struggling tom.

Wrenpaw nodded and darted of to help Nectarsong to her paws the brown she-cat limbed her way across the ground her front paw appeared twisted.

"Oh, my Starclan thank you Wrenpaw" Nectarsong replied quietly still seemingly in a state of shock from the missed landing on the ground.

"It's fine Nectarsong lets just get you to safety"

Appleclaw's point of view

Applepaw sprinted beside Smokehaze and Leaftail through the Thunderclan forest trying not to trip over the various roots and shrubs that reminded her why she hated forests.

The Windclan patrol had taken the lead with the Riverclan patrol following behind the symphony of yowling and caterwauls from the battle grew closer.

Appleclaw shuddered as she saw the massive head of Shadowmaw rear his massive head upward throwing Tawnypelt into the snow the wolf turned its head at the Windclan patrol and let out a loud bark.

Applepaw picked up speed as she got closer to the mass of battling cats, she saw the pelts of Harestar, Crowfeather, and Heathertail rush past her.

Appleclaw leaped forward flying into the fray of cats slashing down on the hip of a white tom who screeched in pain as Appleclaw flipped him over on his side. With the tom flat on his back Appleclaw slashed widely at his stomach blood sputtering across the ground the tom screeched swiping a Appleclaw trying to defend himself.

Appleclaw continued slashing across the tom's stomach the tom desperately tried to free himself from Appleclaw's grip landing a slash across Appleclaw's face allowing him to free himself and flee from the battle.

"Oh no you don't get back here you rat faced Kin cat" Appleclaw screeched racing after the Kin cat as fast as she could.

Appleclaw quickly caught up to the white tom slamming her claws down on his spine both cats lost their balance and went dumpling through the snow.

Appleclaw wiped the snow from her eyes only to see the white tom was gone say for a trail of blood staining the snow towards the bracken.

Before Appleclaw could give chase, she caught site of her sister Smokehaze charging towards a ginger she-cat gray she-cat who was chasing Hootwhisker into the snow. Behind Smokehaze a very dark gray she-cat was following silently from the bracken.

Appleclaw knew that she had to help her sister and took off running after Smokehaze.

All around her Appleclaw could see the clans were gaining the upper hand in their battles against The Kin cats were running into the brackens well others stayed in groups trying to hold out against the clans even Shadowmaw was wearing down his black tan and gray pelt covered in wounds and panting heavily as he sluggishly stumbled around the battlefield.

Smokehaze was getting closer to the she-cat Appleclaw rushed past multiple battles and Kin cats fleeing seeing the dark gray she-cat getting closer to Smokehaze.

Appleclaw sprinted forward after the she-cat she could see Smokehaze meet the ginger she-cat with a series of hisses and swipes Appleclaw could see the she-cats eyes shining from the bracken.

"Stay away from my sister you mangy Kin cat!" Appleclaw screeched lunging into the bracken.

Appleclaw swiped wildly sending clumps of bracken flying through the air. a sharp pain hit Appleclaw across the eyes as the very dark grey she-cat slashed Appleclaw over the eyes blood bracken and snow obscuring her vision.

"Oh, you little" Appleclaw screamed as she saw the she-cat lunging towards her face Appleclaw retaliated jumping forward meet the she-cats outstretched arms.

Both cats tumbled into the snow Appleclaw began slashing and biting wildly feeling the taste of blood as and the pain of claws raking her pelt.

The she-cat bit down hard on Appleclaw's the side of Appleclaw's head the sharp pressure raked her whole body.

"Oh, your frrraaaa" Appleclaw hissed in rage she began to slash and bite at anything she could get a hold of blood and dark gray fur went flying from Appleclaw's claws and mouth. Appleclaw knew that her opponent was landing many blows on her, but it wasn't really Appleclaw's primary concern she was more concerned with betting her opponent.

Rising onto her hind legs Appleclaw slammed down onto the she-cat sending both off them rolling down a hill.

Appleclaw and her opponent slashed wildly Appleclaw's vison blurred as they picked up speed.

Appleclaw managed to bite down on the she-cats back leg slowing there decent as they both went flying through the air Appleclaw landed onto of the she-cat when they landed with a loud crash sending the two of them rolling again.

Both of them rolled faster and faster Appleclaw's vision became a haze of blurry lines she still slashed and bit wildly occasionally feeling the she-cats pelt.

Through the blurry lines Appleclaw could make out she was rolling towards bush's Appleclaw didn't have time to braise for impact.

Appleclaw slammed into a large bush the last thing she heard was a loud smash before she blacked out.

Wrenpaw's point view

Wrenpaw carefully help Nectarsong away from the battlefield and towards the bracken

At the edge of the bracken's were Shadowclan had first ambushed the Kin the medicine cats had set up a makeshift medicine den the four cats that Shadowmaw had crushed were being treated for any broken bones Alderheart was trying to stop the bleeding from a bad wound on Spotfur's flank well Puddleshine and Willowshine were treating a gash on Harelight's head and Kestrelflight and Jayfeather were dressing a wound around Oatclaw's shoulder.

"Fidgetflake take Nectarsong she twisted her front leg when she jumped out of a tree" the black and white tom ran over to Nectarsong helping her over to Frecklewish.

"Frecklewish!" Whistlepaw called out from the entrance of the den Frecklewish turned her head to see Whistlepaw with Kitescratch leaning against her.

"I found one of your warriors says he got caught in Shadowmaw's jaws"

"No Frecklewish honestly I'm fine" Kitescratch huffed short of breath.

"Kitescratch just because your pelts normally red doesn't mean I can't see the giant gash you have on your flank" Frecklewish meowed sweetly before helping Whistlepaw carry Kitescratch down for treatment.

"Mothwing! Willowshine!" Icewing meowed frantically running into the dappled golden she-cat in her jaws was the limp Tortoiseshell body of Brackenstar.

"Shadowmaw landed on top of her I think that she lost a life I don't know I think I saw Mistystar do this when she lost her lives" Mothwing ran over to help her leader over to a nest.

"Don't worry Icewing she'll be fine you get back out there" the white she-cat gave Mothwing a node before running back out into the fray" Wrenpaw decided to follow Icewing into the battle the white she-cat was tackled over by a reddish she-cat Wrenpaw watched as the 2 went tumbling in a hissing ball of red and white.

Wrenpaw decided that the RiverClan deputy could handle the fight on her own Wrenpaw ran to look for someone to help casting one last glance at Icewing she could see she had already gained the upper hand against her opponent.

Wrenpaw swerved to the left to avoid a kin cat being chased by Twigbranch and Finleap with a long gash dripping from there stomach only for Wrenpaw to turn right to avoid Tigerstar and Cloverfoot battling a massive cream and brown tom who was clearly struggling as he landed on the ground with a massive fud.

Wrenpaw stopped as she saw Leafstar battling the same silver-gray tom both clearly worn out.

Leafstar rolled onto her back pushing the tom upward off his feet Leafstar rose to her feet launching at the tom and delivering a swift bite to the tom's back leg Wrenpaw heard a loud crunch as the tom screeched in pain yanking himself free from Leafstar's bite and limping away his yellow eyes burning with hatred.

Wrenpaw froze as she saw a long furred black, she-cat running out from the crowed of cats Wrenpaw realized it was Raven one of the highest-ranking cats in the Kin Wrenpaw realized she was making a run at Leafstar well she was weak.

Wrenpaw leapt forward springing into the air, unfortunately Wrenpaw wasn't fast enough Leafstar turned her head to see Raven coming towards her the black she-cat slashed Leafstar across the back with both her claws Leafstar screamed in pain Raven hooked her claws into Leafstar's back before she could sink her death to deep into her neck Wrenpaw landed on her.

"Let me go you stupid kit!" Raven screech as she tried to shake Wrenpaw off. Leafstar buckled under the weight of two cats on top of her sending all three tumbling into the snow.

Wrenpaw shot up to her feet realizing she was way outmatched by Raven but what else was she didn't really have a choice she couldn't just leave Leafstar to face Raven alone. Wrenpaw jumped forward at Raven but before she could even strike her Raven swung around and kicked Wrenpaw with her back legs Wrenpaw was sent flying with a umph landing on her side.

Before Raven could go after her Leafstar emerged from the snow biting down on Ravens tail Raven turned around furiously slicing Leafstar across the face and chest multiple times.

Wrenpaw leapt forward landing on Ravens back the black she-cat staggered backward throwing Wrenpaw off.

When Wrenpaw looked up she saw Raven had been tackled to the ground by Hawkwing the SkyClan deputy slammed into Raven throwing her across the snow Hawkwing lunged forward landing on Raven both cats slashed at each other.

As Wrenpaw watched them she realized that the battle was nearing it's close Kin cats were running down the quarry slope and away into the forest beyond.

"Don't run you idiots get out here and fight!" Wrenpaw saw a muscular gray tom yell.

"Forget it Thistle it's no use" Sleekwhisker appeared from behind him.

"Yes Sleekwhisker"

"Retreat!"

The Kin cats who were still battling finally gave up the ghost upon hearing Sleekwhisker's signal fleeing down the quarry slopes past Thunderclan camp and down into the forests beyond.

Wren heard Thundering paw steps coming from behind her she jumped out of the way of Shadowmaw as the wolf thundered after The Kin his pelt stained with blood.

Raven rolled out away from Hawkwing shooting him one last death glare before running to Sleekwhisker and Thistle.

"We did it we won" Tigerstar's mew rang through the battlefield the dark brown tabby tom stood near the edge of the quarry wall amber eyes glimmering with pride and determination.

Appleclaw's point of view

Appleclaw's eyes shot open realizing that she had blacked out.

Looking around the very dark gray she-cat that she had been battling was no ware to be seen say for the trail of blood heading into the forest.

From over the hill Appleclaw could hear a chorus of yowls and caterwauls Appleclaw's heart dropped until she realized that they were coming from the clans, and they sounded Joyous.

"We one oh thank Starclan we one" Appleclaw meowed in joy limping her way up the hill to see the Clans milling around in the battlefield most talking to each other well others were getting wounds treated by the medicine cats.

"Appleclaw there you are" Woodbeam meowed before padding over to greet Appleclaw.

" Where were I haven't seen you since the start of the battle"

"Oh, uh I was chasing a kin cat off over the hill over there"

"Well, me and the apprentices were gonna go and check out the ThunderClan camp if you want to come"

"Of course, all come" Appleclaw responded as the two of them walked down the Thunderclan quarry.

"So how are you doing looks like you got a couple pretty bad wounds" Woodbeam pointed to Appleclaw her yellow fur mudded and dirty with blood dirt and snow "Oh its nothing all just get Kestrelflight and Whistlepaw to check me out later" Appleclaw could feel her wounds stinging on her pelt.

"What about you I can see that you also have a couple good nicks" Appleclaw pointed to a large gash above Woodbeam's eye that was covered in cobwebs.

"Oh, me and Brindlewing got into a fight with this white Kin cat well she cut me above the eye"

"Actually, how is the rest of the family doing?"

"There all doing good dad and Oatclaw even got into it with one of those really high-ranking Kin cats I think it was Silt was it"

"Not surprised with that seems like dad to go for the strongest Kin cats I'd go for them myself if they I could find any of them, I think they only go for the leaders and deputy's"

"Appleclaw!" Wrenpaw ran over to greet Appleclaw amber eyes glowing.

"Oh, hay Wrenpaw how's it going"

"Good I got to fight Raven" Wrenpaw squealed.

"Really Raven like one of the top three cats in The Kin Raven"

"I mean it wasn't really much of fight I just kind of got thrown around by her well Leafstar and Hawkwing did most of the fighting"

"Well, it's still Raven someone who has a confirmed body count so it's still impressive that you handled it that well"

"Thanks"

Inside the Thunderclan camp was a disaster although Appleclaw hadn't seen it the battle had clearly gone into the Thunderclan camp inside was full of dried blood and wet snow all the dens were destroyed and the fresh kill pile empty The Kin had clearly taken the prey as they left.

"Yeesh this whole place is swimming in wolf stink" Woodbeam sneered in disgust.

Appleclaw smelt the sent hit her nose it washed over her like a putrid wave of musk and urine.

At the edge of the quarry wall Songpaw, Flutterpaw, Splashpaw, Fogpaw, Rootspring, and Needleclaw,

"Oh, hay Appleclaw Woodbeam over here" Flutterpaw signaled Appleclaw, Woodbeam, and Wrenpaw walked over to join their companions.

"We were just talking about you we saw you ran right in that white cat" Needleclaw meowed.

"Oh, Ya him Ya, I completely beat him he barley even got a hit in on me" Appleclaw boosted.

"Were'd, you get all of the wounds those seem pretty nasty" Fogpaw pointed to Appleclaw's matted yellow fur.

"Oh, that was from another cat dark gray she-cat pushed me down a hill that probably were most of the wounds came from.

"So do you think were all gonna go back to our own separate camps?" Splashpaw asked.

"Don't know ThunderClan's in no condition to defend their camp and for all we know The Kin are lurking in that forest waiting to strike" Needleclaw pointed out.

"Let all cats gather around high-ledge for a meeting" Squirrelflight's meow cut through the clearing everyone moved down towards high-ledge were the leaders deputy's and medicine cats were gathered.

"Hay did anyone else see how Fernstripe was helping Slightfoot up after the battle" Songbird meowed excitedly.

"Oh lord Songpaw is this the new topic of conversation between you and Gorsetail" Appleclaw sighed.

"Ya, sis she could have just been showing common decency" Flutterpaw replied playfully.

"I mean to be fair I didn't think anything about that one-time Podlight asked Shimmerpelt to share a carp with him and then one thing led to another and there mates now" Splashpaw meowed.

"Ya I would never have though that someone as strong-willed and strict as Shimmerpelt choose someone like Podlight as their mate" Fogpaw added as they reached High-Ledge.

"Cats of the clans we have beaten the Kin her at Thunderclan and have driven them out of Thunderclan's camp" Squirrelflight announced eyes shimmering with pride as she looked down on the warriors.

"However," Tigerstar meowed sternly "We don't know when they will strike next, and they could be lurking around Thunderclan's forest ready to strike at any time"

"We are in no condition to pursue The Kin into Thunderclan's forest at the moment" Leafstar added "So until we are healthy enough to push further into Kin controlled territory, we will have cats stationed here in Thunderclan camp to make sure that it is guarded from any future Kin attack"

"We will have cats from all 5 clans stationed here shifts will last for the day you will be allowed to bring pray from your camp and hunt in any areas controlled by the Clans" Brackenstar added.

"Anyone who wants to take the first shift can come see me and Crowfeather by the nursery" Harestar pointed over to the Thunderclan nursery.

"Meeting dismissed we will be heading back to our camps shortly"

"Oh, my Starclan we should totally all take a shift in Thunderclan camp together" Songpaw suggest.

"That's a great idea what time do you think we should do that?" Needleclaw asked.

"Um how about a quarter moon" Fogpaw suggested.

"Ya quatre of a moon sounds good" Rootspring replied.

"Wrenpaw, Appleclaw, Flutterpaw, Woodbeam, that time good with you?"

"Yep"

"Definitely"

"Sounds good to me"

"Sure"
