Here it is. :) Sorry it took a little longer than usual. I don't really have anything to say, so I'll just let you read.
Birdflame- I would love to use that idea, but I was wondering if I could change it just a little. Your idea will still be there, but I just want to add something to it. If that's okay with you.
WarriorCatsRock- That's a great idea! :) Could I use it? I was thinking of maybe changing it a little, bringing Foxleap into it or adding it with Birdflame's idea. Is that okay?
As they neared the camp, Ivypool hoped that Dovewing knew that they where coming and would warn Jayfeather.
She pulled ahead of the group to walk into camp first. She ran for the medicine cat's den and pushed her way inside. In the den, Dovewing was already whispering to Jayfeather quietly, ignoring the curious looks from Briarlight.
"Jayfeather," Ivypool walked over. "We found two hurt cats on our patrol. A tom, and a she-cat who is heavily expecting kits."
Jayfeather looked at her with his blind eyes for a second before turning to Briarlight. "Could you get the herbs? You know what I'll need."
"Okay." Briarlight pulled herself out of her nest and over to where they keep the herbs.
Ivypool took a step back as she saw Leafpool enter the den, Rosepetal helping Spots through the den entrance. Brackenfur and Dustpelt helped Snake in.
"Snake has a pretty bad scratch." Leafpool told Jayfeather. "But Spots has many deep scratches and her leg is dislocated. I did the best I could with the few herbs and cob webs I had."
Jayfeather flicked his ear to show that he had heard, then told the warriors, "Help them to the nests."
Brackenfur helped Snake into a nest, which he sank into gratefully. Rosepetal slowly lead Spots to the other nest and layed her down in it.
All the warriors left, leaving the medicine cats space to work. Ivypool paused outside the den and looked around at all the cats who had gathered.
Bramblestar walked forward to where Ivypool stood by the other cats on the patrol. "What happened?" He asked.
"We found two hurt cats." Brackenfur told him. "Their names are Spots and Snake."
"How bad are they hurt?" Bramblestar questioned.
"Pretty bad." Leafpool spoke up again. "Snake has a deep cut and Spots has lots of cuts and a dislocated leg. Spots is also especting kits, and she looked as if they could come any day now."
Bramblestar nodded to himself before deciding, "I'll talk to them after they have had a chance to rest. We'll see how they are doing then."
At this, cats started backing away, going on with their day as normal or splitting into small groups as speaking quietly.
Ivypool followed Dovewing over to the nursery but as she sat down outside it, Cinderheart's two kits ran over excitedly.
"What does Snake and Spots look like?" Firekit asked, eyes bright.
"Is it true that Spots is going to have kits?" Hollykit added in a softer voice.
"Firekit! Hollykit!" Cinderheart walked over. "Don't bother Ivypool. She's been very busy, she must want some time to rest."
"It's okay." Ivypool purred to the queen. "They wheren't doing anything wrong." She turned back to the kits. "Well, Snake was a brown tabby and Spots was is a black she-cat with white patches. And yes, she'll be having kits very soon."
"We're going to have more kits to play with?" Hollykit asked, her tail waving happily at the thought.
"I'm not sure." Ivypool meowed, looking over at the medicine cat den.
"It's up to Bramblestar if they can stay." Dovewing reminded them.
Ivypool looked up as Foxleap padded towards her. "I was wondering if you might want to come join a game?" He asked her, sounding a little unsure.
"A game?" Ivypool wondered.
Foxleap nodded. "It's been so calm between all the Clans, but we need to keep up our skills. So we are gathering some warriors to split into two groups and both will try to take over the abandoned Twoleg den."
"Okay, I'll join." Ivypool agreed and stood up. She turned to Dovewing and told her, "I'll talk to you later.
"Okay." Dovewing purred. "Have fun!"
Ivypool followed Foxleap as he bounded out of camp, "They were about to start but they needed one more cat. We need to hurry if we want to play too." He explained as they ran to the Twoleg nest.
They ran through the entrance to see cats who where playing already in two groups. On one side was Cloudtail, Thornclaw, Birchfall, Hazeltail, and Rosepetal. On the other side was Brightheart, Icecloud, Spiderleg, Whitewing, and Toadstep.
"Foxleap." Cloudtail called him over. "You're on this side."
"Okay." Foxleap agreed before walking over to stand by Rosepetal.
Ivypool joined the other group and Cloudtail explained the rules. "The point of the game is to take over this Twoleg nest. Both groups will walk in a different direction until they can't see the nest, and then they will plan for as long as needed. Use anything to your advantage. No claws, and if your pinned down for more than five heart beats, you're out of the game."
And the two teams of cats headed away from the Twoleg nest in opposite directions.
"We have only a little time to plan." Brightheart started when they could no longer see the nest. "Anyone have any ideas on what to do?"
"I think that we should let them take it over first and then attack." Toadstep said. "If they have gaurds outside, we could try to take them first."
"Or we could hide up on the second floor of the Twoleg nest and attack when they come in." Whitewing added.
"We can do both." Ivypool meowed. "And if we find some wet ferns we can use it to hide our scent."
"That's a good idea." Brightheart nodded. "Who is going to be inside?"
"I will." Icecloud meowed.
"Me too." Spiderleg nodded.
"I guess I'll join too." Ivypool meowed.
"How will we know when to attack the cats though?" Spiderleg asked.
"The cats who aren't inside the den could make some noise to make one of the gaurds come and check it out. We get them out, then when all the guards are gone we'll make a sound that'll tell the cats inside that it's time." Toadstep suggested.
"What will the sound be?" Ivypool asked.
"You'll know when you hear it." Brightheart promised. "Dose anyone know where some wet ferns are?"
"I saw some on the way." Spiderleg told them. "But we need to hurry if we want to get there first." He jumped up and all together, they followed the warrior to the ferns. Everyone rolled in it, hopeing that the fern scent would hide their own.
"Let's go." Brightheart said when they where done. They silently ran towards the edge of the trees and paused.
"I don't see anyone." Icecloud whispered as she narrowed her eyes at the den.
"Okay, go!" Brightheart told them.
Ivypool, Spiderleg, and Icecloud bounded over to the den and through the entrance. They whent over to the stairs and climbed up them to hide on the second floor.
It seemed like forever, but finally Ivypool heard the soft paw steps of Cloudtail's group sneaking into the nest. She heard a few quite whispers, but couldn't tell who they where from or what they where saying.
Ivypool shifted quietly and got ready to jump down. The cats beside her did the same. She wondered what the signal to attack would be.
In the quite, she heard someone ask, "Where did Hazeltail go?" It sounded like Rosepetal.
"Wasn't she keeping watch outside with Birchfall?" Cloudtail asked.
"She was." Rosepetal said, trying to keep quite. "But she isn't there any more."
"Go check on Birchfall." Cloudtail told her.
It was quite for a little before Rosepetal's voice sounded again. "He's gone too."
"Then we-" Cloudtail was cut off as a battle cry sounded. It was Brightheart's!
Ivypool jumped down the stairs and landed at the bottom, Icecloud and Spiderleg a heartbeat behind.
Inside the den was Cloudtail, Rosepetal, Thornclaw, and Foxleap.
Ivypool growled and leapt at the closest, Rosepetal. The she-cat let out a surprised yowl and fell over, Ivypool easily pinning her down. Around her, the fighting started, Brightheart her the other cats joining in.
Rosepetal kicked Ivypool away and Ivypool turned in air, landing clumsily. She hissed as she barely missed landing on were Cloudtail and Icecloud were fighting.
She leapt at Rosepetal, landing in front of her. She ducked to avoid the warrior's blows. Ivypool lashed out a paw, hooking Rosepetal's legs out from under her and making her fall forward.
Ivypool backed up and stood on her hind legs. She then brought all her weight down onto Rosepetal, who was scrambling to get up. Rosepetal tried to get up again, but Ivypool held her down, silently counting.
After five heartbeats, Ivypool was about to let her up, but suddenly something grabed her scruff and pulled her off of Rosepetal.
Ivypool landed heavily on the ground. She looked up to see Foxleap standing over her. "Come on Rosepetal, get up!" He called back as he attacked Ivypool.
"Thanks, Foxleap." Rosepetal meowed, backing away. "But it's too late. I'm already out."
Foxleap growled and leapt at Ivypool. Ivypool ducked under him and quickly turned, hitting the side of his head with a quick paw before ducking away.
Foxleap stood up onto his hindlegs amd Ivypool did the same. They wrestled together, both trying to get the other down.
Ivypool then noticed something. As quickly as she could, she pulled away, dropped onto four paws, and tuged on his tail, knocking the red tabby off balance. Foxleap's eyes widened as he fell sideways onto Ivypool and they both ended up on the ground, struggling to stand.
"You'll have to do better than that!" Foxleap said playfully as he shook out his fur.
Ivypool took the risk of looking around her. By now, most of the cats had gotten out. The only cats other than Ivypool and Foxleap who where still in, was Thornclaw and Spiderleg. But now, Spiderleg's movements where slow and tired.
Ivypool ran over and jumped onto Thornclaw's back, jumping back off when Thornclaw rolled over. Spiderleg panted as Ivypool took over with Thornclaw, but he soon jumped back in.
She heard Foxleap coming from behind her and looked back. She kicked out with a powerful hingleg. She jumped, turned and pinned him down. But he rolled over so that he was on top, looking down at her.
Ivypool quickly brought up her hind legs and kicked at him, driving the breath out of his body. While he gasped for breath, she rolled so that she wa on top, and pinned him down.
She waited five heartbeats and then carefully helped him up.
"Are you okay?" She asked him worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Foxleap shook his head. "I just wasn't ready for that. Nice move."
"I'm sorry I hit you so hard." Ivypool meowed.
"It's okay, really." Foxleap told her, flicking her ear with his tail.
Rosepetal ran in, glared at Ivypool, and lead Foxleap away. Ivypool watched them leave before looking back at the fight.
Spiderleg and Thornclaw where on their hindlegs, both trying to knock the other down. But Spiderleg easily lost balance and fell sideways, bringing Thornclaw with him. Thornclaw wrestled until he was on top.
Ivypool ran over and pulled the tom off. Spiderleg got up, and together they fought Thornclaw. Finally, they finally got Thornclaw pinned on his back.
Ivypool let him up and they padded out of the den to where the others where waiting. "It's over." Thornclaw told the team he was on. "They won."
All the cats then talked about what could have been done better and what each cat would need to work on, and then they left for camp.
Ivypool looked up at the darkening sky as she entered the camp. The game had lasted longer than she had expected.
She looked around at the camp, which was now almost empty, most cats in their dens. She headed for the fresh kill pile and picked up a bird and a mouse, then carried it over to the medicine cat den. Jayfeather and Briarlight must be hungry after all the work they had done. If not, they could leave it for Snake and Spots.
She padded into the den and paused to let her eyes adjust to the darker lighting. "I brought prey." She meowed.
"Prey?" Briarlight's head showed over the side of her nest. "Can I have the bird?" Ahe asked.
Ivypool nodded and set down the mouse before walking over and giving the bird to Briarlight.
"Thank you." Briarlight purred before tearing off the feathers.
Ivypool looked around the den and found Jayfeather already asleep.
"How is Snake and Spots doing?" Ivypool asked Briarlight as she moved the mouse closer to the two loners.
"Jayfeather says that they'll live. But he doesn't know how the kits will be." Briarlight told her, looking worried.
"He'll do the best he can to save them." Ivypool told her.
"I know." Briarlight nodded and took of more feathers from the bird.
"I should go now." Ivypool said. "It's been a long day."
"Okay, bye!" Briarlight purred as Ivypool left the den. Ivypool padded to the fresh kill pile, picked out two mice for herself, noticing just how hungry she was. She quickly ate them, and then padded into her den and curled up next to Foxleap, easily fallinf asleep.
That was a long chapter! I still can't think of anything really to say, but please review!
