I just had a crazy idea last night and so you just might see another story coming. I might and I might not maybe when I write another chapter or two first. Anyway I hope you enjoy this next story.

"Yelling"

"Speaking"

Thoughts

//We left off with Mousepaw running to get help for the small patrol of six…will she make it or will she not…we shall find out//

Mousepaw was running as fast as her legs can carry her, she ran and ran and ended up crashing into the cold hearted tom himself. He growled in irritation, "What is with the running apprentice?" he asked. "You have to help…the patrol…Shadow clan…help…Feather…attack..."she panted and Iceheart wished she could talk in a complete sentence but can only assume that Shadow clan is attacking a patrol and glanced to Mousepaw "Go back to camp and get more help" he called back as he rushed to find the patrol Mousepaw nodded and ran off again.

When she got back she ran to Blackpelt, we need help…we ran into a huge Shadow clan patrol…taking territory from us again" she meowed. Blackpelt nodded, Foxstar who over heard jumped on high ledge, "Okay lets go assist the patrol, Wolffang, Silvercloud, Greypaw and Stormpelt" he called. Greypaw got to his paws determined to claw some shadow clan tail and help his sister. "Blackpelt, head this group to help out, Mousepaw lead them to where the attack is and then come back to rest." Foxstar added and got off of high ledge. The black warrior left with the four warriors with Mousepaw leading the way. Hold on guys we're coming! She thought.

The patrol was a bit bigger as a few more cats joined in, they really wasn't going to give up the stretch of territory which was always rich in prey. A big tabby knocked Brightcloud into a tree and was prepared to do the finishing bite to the neck Iceheart leaped from the undergrowth and tackled into the tom with a snarl. The two ended up in a wrestle of tabby and blue fur, each tom was slashing and biting. Brightcloud was surprised to see him and he just saved her. Featherpaw went to assist Swiftwind who was fighting three cats and jumped on a she-cat's back and bit hard on her ear. The cat hissed and shook violently to get Featherpaw off who just hung on. Swiftwind quickly slashed at her flank and she fell to the ground and Featherpaw got off and he shot her a grateful look. Before long she heard Blackpelt's battle cry she saw Blackpelt with more help along with her friend Mousepaw who went straight to her looking tired. "Oh no there's a lot more now, are you okay?" she meowed and lightly traced a gash along Featherpaw's flank with her tail, "Yes of course the others are worse off though" Featherpaw replied not concerned about herself and jumped back in the fight while Mousepaw went back to camp like she was told.

Blackpelt went straight for Greyclaw, and the two were at it, hissing and slashing at one another. They were pretty evenly matched which made it harder on Blackpelt. He was too slow and just received a gash on his right eye, a scar that won't ever fully heal. Owlpaw came to the rescue and jumped on the gray tabby's back and hit at his neck. Taking this as his chance Blackpelt signaled Owlpaw to move and knocked Greyclaw to the ground and pinned him down with a paw placed firmly on his neck, not to kill him but to hold him. Greyclaw yowled and hissed and spat curses "Leave now!" Blackpelt hissed and let the tom up who called a retreat while running off. Silvercloud clawed at a she-cat but let the ginger warrior go, Greypaw had an apprentice pinned down but didn't let him go until he raked his claws along the cats belly, Stormpelt watched as the cats leave he has a few slashes and small tuffs of fur missing. Iceheart wanted to finish off this tom but knew it wouldn't be fair and let the tom run off. He looked to see a group of cats still trying to have a go at a cat and hissed and charged at them and they instantly left. To his and Silvercloud's horror there lay Featherpaw and Nightwing in a bloody and bruised heap on the ground, "Sister…." Greypaw mewed and held his head down….

Iceheart's POV

I ran when I found out there was an attack on our territory from Shadow clan. It was worse then I thought when I saw the shadow clan patrol. I saw one about to try and kill Brightcloud, my eyes narrowed, I may not care for anyone in this clan but I won't let them become harmed either. So rushed in and tackled the large tom, he was tough, way bigger then me but I managed to chase him off but I felt the stings of the cuts he gave me along my flank. I saw a flash of Silver and saw Featherpaw helping out Swiftwind. I hear Blackpelt's call and knew Mousepaw was successful in bringing help and I continued to fight. Eventually I heard Greyclaw calling it quits. I saw a group of Shadow clanners and attacked to help the poor cat who maybe trying to fight this group of cats, I held back a gasp and my gaze fixed on the bloody silver she-cat Featherpaw and Nightwing's limp bodies. I heard Silvercloud moan in sorrow and looked to see poor Greypaw looking like he might cry. I didn't want to believe this apprentice was dead, something tugged at my belly at the thought. I walked over to her and gently brushed my tail around the nose and mouth area to tell if they were alive…I sighed when I felt both Featherpaw and Nightwing breathing.

Normal POV

"Stop the sobbing…they're alive" Iceheart told them and Silvercloud rushed to her daughter and gave her gentle licks and murmuring in her ear. To confirm her being alive she flicked her tail and whimpered. "Lets get both of them back to camp" Blackpelt ordered, Nightcloud, still conscious shakily gets to her paws and Stormpelt and Blackpelt help support her. While Silvercloud carried Featherpaw in by the scruff and followed them all back to camp with Greypaw never leaving her side and Iceheart takes the rear.

At camp Mapleleaf quickly rushed to work she patched up Featherpaw she was very concern about the blood though some of it was from Shadow clan. "Very deep gashes…" she murmured and licked the young cat's forehead. She and Bluepaw fixed up the remaining warriors and they left minus Silvercloud and Greypaw who were grooming Silverpaw's ruffled pelt. Before leaving Stormpelt brushed against his mate, "Okay you two, give her some rest, you can come back later" Mapleleaf hated telling them that but the silver apprentice needed room to sleep. "Oh yes, my apologies Mapleleaf" replied Silvercloud who lead Graypaw out.

Later on Featherpaw woke up and was looked over by Mapleleaf. Iceheart walked in and looked at both Nightwing and the apprentice who only blinked at him. Mapeleaf twitched her whiskers and moved towards the back to give him room as she knew he wouldn't come to visit injured cats. "Came to see me?" she asked. He padded to her and stuck his nose against her, "Of course…for a moment I thought you died." He said. "So did I…those group of cats came from no where and attacked me…then Nightwing came to help and next thing I knew I'm in camp." She meowed practically explaining what happened. "Well thanks for worrying" she said. Without his fur, Iceheart would have had a thin blush, "I wasn't worried about just you, and Nightwing was injured too" he said. Featherpaw's eyes held laughter as she could tell he was at least concerned for her she proved that when she tried sitting up when he instantly came to her side to support her. He didn't know why but he didn't like seeing her injured and it made him just as bitter towards shadow clan then towards the very clan he was in. His eyes bore into her, "This won't happen again…" he mumbled. "Huh? What do you mean? Shadow clan? Well as long as they are shadow clan cats then there will always be fights" she said. "No, that's not it. I meant you getting hurt. I won't let that happen again." He declared. She blinked, "How…not let me battle…I'm a clan cat so I have to fight it's my duty" she said. "No, but I'll protect you" he said without much thought. She didn't want to seem like she needed it but she felt warm all of a sudden Do I have fever again… she wondered. She gently touched noses with him "Thanks Iceheart" she meowed. He looked stunned at the contact and blinked, he placed his mask on, now expressionless and left without a word.

Sorry it took so long as I wanted to try and make this chapter longer. Well I'll try to update more but I would like to know what you think about this story.
