Hey everyone. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Bluefeather20- *nodds* I see that... XD
Featherpaw jumped over a mossy log that ran through the trail. Beside her was Whitepaw, on the other side was Driftpaw. Now it was her turn to stay silent, she said nothing to Driftpaw, and he was the one feeling bad instead.
In front of them where Seedfur and Berrynose, Whitepaw's mentor. Bramblestar wasn't there because he was on a different patrol, checking out a fox scent at the Windclan border.
"Hey Featherpaw." Whitepaw started as they walked on.
"Yea?" Featherpaw turned her head to look at her brother.
"I bet I can catch more prey then you." Whitepaw mewed with a smile.
"We'll see about that." Featherpaw purred. She knew that Whitepaw had always been better at hunting then her. "Well, I bet I can beat you in fighting."
"Just because you beat me once doesn't mean you can again! Me and Berrynose, we have been practicing the Upright Lock!" Whitepaw puffed out his chest proudly. "Isn't that right Berrynose?"
Berrynose walked on, still chatting with Seedfur.
Whitepaw sighed then turned back to Featherpaw. "I can show you it!"
"This is a hunting patrol Whitepaw. Not a time for showing off battle moves." Featherpaw reminded him gently.
"Oh yea. Are we almost there?" Whitepaw asked no one.
"We are here." Berrynose said, looking back at his apprentice.
"Finally!" Whitepaw exclaimed as they all stopped walking. He sniffed the air for prey.
Featherpaw rolled her eyes. She opened her mouth to sent for some prey, but stopped when she scented another cat, out of the clan.
"Hmm. Sees like some rogues have came for some trouble." Seedfur mewed, smelling it as well.
"It leads this way." Berrynose took lead of the group. He led the way through the forest. As they rounded a bush the cats came into sight.
There was four cats. A tall, skinny black she-cat with one white front paw, and icy blue eyes. A red tabby tom with amber eyes and multiple scars on his face and a stubby tail. A light gray tom with green eyes and a large scar across his face. And a small white she-cat with a purple collar around her neck and amber eyes, she was only six moons by the looks of it.
"Who are you and what are you doing on our territory?" Berrynose demanded.
The white she-cat jumped, and they all turned around.
The the skinny black cat with a white paw she-cat glared at them, looking at each cat. Suddenly she gasped a few seconds after stareing at them. "Drift!" She ran forward.
Seedfur blocked her path, snarling. But before she could say anything, Driftpaw spoke first.
"Mom?" Driftpaw called, surprise showed clear in his voice.
"Move!" The she-cat snapped at Seedfur. "Let me see my son!"
"Get off our territory! He's with us now!" Seedfur growled.
"Nonsense!" The cat exclaimed. "Drift, come here! Now!" She yelled.
Featherpaw looked from the angery cat, to Driftpaw. Drift just stood there, staring at his mother emotionlessly.
"No." His voice cracked but he didn't seem to care.
"No?" The cat echoed angerily. She growled. "Drift, we are going home. Right now."
"No." Driftpaw said firmly this time.
Seedfur, who still stood between the who, said "He doesn't want to go. Leave our territory."
"You can't make me leave my kit!" The she-cat fumed. She suddenly leapt at Seedfur.
"Mom!" Driftpaw exclaimed, eyes growing wide.
Featherpaw hit hard against the ground as a cat knocked into her. It was the red tabby.
"Hey there, kit." The tom laughed, pinning her down easily. "Nice scars you got." He smiled, showing his yellow teeth. "Want some new ones?"
Featherpaw struggled under the tom. "No." She whispered, desperate not to let what Soul did to her happen again. She raked her back claws against his belly and he pushed away.
"Little piece of fox dung." The red tabby hissed. He leapt at her, making her fly into the air and land hard on the ground a few fox lenghts away.
Featherpaw quickly stood up and shook out her pelt. He leapt at her again, but this time she stepped to the side and lashed out at him. A wound apeared on his side and blood flowed as he landed clumsily.
Featherpaw batted at his with unsheathed claws, hitting his side and shoulders as he quickly turned towards her. Featherpaw ducked as he tried to claw at her face, then grabed his paw with her claws and unbalanced him.
The tom fell to the side and Featherpaw took the chance to claw at his belly again. The red cat got up and fled from her.
Featherpaw stood back and saw that the clan cats where actually beating the rogues.
Whitepaw was pinning down the white she-cat easily, as she was younger. Berrynose and Seedfur attacked the gray tom, fighting well together. But Driftpaw was off to the side, talking quickly and angrily to his mother.
"I don't want to leave!" Driftpaw protested loudly.
"You don't want to come home?" The black cat exclaimed. "Just imagine what will happen whenI tell your father. He will come here and kill any cat that stops him, you know it!"
"Just talk to Soul first! She can explain everything!" Driftpaw promised her. "I promise she will." Featherpaw held back a shudder at Soul's name.
"Panther, we got to go!" the gray cat limped over. "Now. Snow and Red have already fled."
Featherpaw turned to see that Whitepaw sat to the side, watching Driftpaw and the other two cats hostility. Seedfur and Berrynose waited silently.
The black and white she-cat stood there, staring at Driftpaw with confused eyes. "Alright." She sighed and then pressed her muzzle to Driftpaw's fur. "Just be careful." She turned and padded away, the gray tom limping after her.
Driftpaw stared after her.
"Come on, lets go back to camp." Seedfur spoke up after a moment of silence.
They all headed back to camp.
Sorry if this ia a little short, and not as good as the others... Anyways, tell me how it was.
