Border Battle

(Thank you for all those who have reviewed lately.)

The Moonclan warriors hid themselves in trees near the border. The new border that is. They were waiting for Stormclan. And sure enough, Stormclan cats showed up. There weren't a lot of them, unlike Moonclan, they weren't expecting trouble. However Stormstar and Emberpaw had come, among others.

Stormstar stopped when he reached the new border. "What happened here?" he asked.

"They changed the border!" Emberpaw hissed.

"Well obviously." Said a cat. Dragonflame didn't recognize who. "The question is, what do we do about it?"

Stormstar shook his head. "We move it back."

Blueblaze flicked his tail, a cue that they were supposed to come out of hiding. "No, you're not moving it back." He growled. "You moved it first!"

"What?" Stormstar looked confused.

Emberpaw looked at Stormstar; she was doing an amazing job at acting innocent. "What are they talking about?"

Stormstar shook his head. "I have no idea." Then he looked darkly at Blueblaze. "Now get out of the way."

He tried to cross the new border but Blueblaze stepped in front of him. "No."

Stormstar looked like he might've attacked, but it was Emberpaw who started. She launched herself onto Blueblaze trying to cover his eyes. He swatted Emberpaw off and Stormstar attacked him. "Emberpaw! Get back up!" he shouted. Emberpaw dashed off.

Dragonflame tried to go after her but the third Stormclan cat stopped her. She slammed Dragonflame across the ground. She was glad the twoleg ground was over grown, or it would've really hurt.

The fight didn't last long with only two Stormclan cats. They ran off. "And don't come back!" Blueblaze shouted. Unfortunately, they did come back, and with a lot more cats. Soon a battle started up again.

Dragonflame ended up fighting Nightwind. Nightwind knocked her off her feet and she hit the twoleg ground. Dragonflame hissed, this time it had hurt. Nightwind lunged for her neck, but Dragonflame kicked her in the chest. While the wind was knocked out of her, Dragonflame slammed her claws across her face. Nightwind dropped to the ground. Dragonflame gasped. Had she done more damage than she intended?

Dragonflame leaned down to find out. Nightwind shot up ripped her claws into Dragonflame. Dragonflame staggered back feeling dazed.

"Dragonflame!" The daze ended. She saw who had called, Eclipsepelt. Somehow he had ended up fighting Stormstar. Where is Blueblaze? Dragonflame thought angrily.

But she abandoned her fight with Nightwind and attacked Stormstar. She managed to take him by surprise and got a few hits in before he fought back. Then he slammed her into the ground. That caused the world to spin a bit, but Dragonflame had already been forced into the ground a few times so she was kind of used to it. She scrapped his stomach. Stormstar hissed and crashed onto her. He shoved his claws into her neck.

Stormstar had no intention of killing her, but Dragonflame didn't know that. She kicked him off with all the force she had. Then she jumped up and flung herself at him clawing blindly. She was attacking so randomly it took her a little while to realize she was no longer fighting Stormstar.

In fact she was didn't know it until Stormstar shouted, "You!"

Dragonflame blinked. It was a dark forest warrior. She was fighting a dark forest warrior. The warrior turned to Stormstar. "Hello Stormstep, or Stormstar I believe."

Stormstar growled. "Get out!"

"Stormstar, I'm here to help. . ."

"I don't need your help!" Stormstar hissed. "Now get!" and with that, the cat left.

Still, it shook Dragonflame up a bit. What would the cats do if they found out she worked with Death Trap? She staggered to the side as the thought hit her. And that wasn't the only thing that hit her. Someone smacked the top of her head and she went sailing to the ground. There was laugh.

Then another cat stepped in front of her and snarled. Dragonflame recognized his scent. Eclipsepelt.

BOOM!

Thunder and lightning crashed over-head. That gave all the cats a pause. They might have just gone back to fighting if Emberpaw didn't choose that moment to scream. The cats looked at her. "What if it's the poison rain?!" she shrieked. She looked like she was going to hyperventilate.

"Poison rain doesn't kill you by touching you. You have to drink it mouse brain!" Smokepaw spat. He wasn't looking so good honestly. He had been fighting Emberpaw and she had the obvious advantage of vision.

"Enough!" Stormstar shouted. "I don't care if the rain will hurt us or not. This fight has to stop." He looked at the Moonclan cats. "If you want this area, fine. Have it. There's not much prey anyway. Now I suggest we get out of the rain."

"What if we went in there?" Nightwind offered, flicking her tail at the old twoleg place by half bridge. "It's shorter than going all the way back to camp."

Stormstar nodded. He led his clan towards it. He was almost in when he turned around and asked the Moonclan cats, "Well, are you coming?"

The Moonclan cats looked at each other. It would be terribly awkward to accept the help of a clan they'd just been fighting with. Then a big wet drop hit Blueblaze's nose. "Let's go guys." He led his clan in; clearly embarrassed by the situation.
