Tiger hissed as claws came slashing across his muzzle. He looked over at Pine, then back at Ninja. "'Ha!" he spat "Who made you in charge of all this?" Tiger raked his claw's down the she-cat's back as she was talking to Pine and fastened his teeth into her scruff, shaking her like a piece of prey before tossing her aside and landing one more strike on her belly with his claws.

Ninja hissed and growled, her throat bubbling up with blood. Her blue eyes filled with hatred and betrayal. Everyone was dying and her own friend had turned against her. She made herself smaller and forced her fur to flatten and claws to sheath. It was all over.
Pine ran forward, moving in front of Tiger, taking the hit that was meant to slice open Ninja's belly. She winced as his sharp claws sliced open her flank. Blood tricked down her side. She turned towards Ninja, "Leave now. Your Tribe is dead. This place is occupied and was not, is not, and will never be yours." She spoke with confidence and elegance. She was giving Ninja a chance to run away and live anywhere but here. To be honest, she didn't know how Ninja would react. Being brought up in the Tribe had taught every cat to never back down from death or a battle and to never, ever run away.

(Can we just say Skit was terrified when the other clan cats came back and she ran off?)

(sure)
Ninja looked into Pine's eyes. How much could a cat change over six moons? Pine was already carrying the scent of those other cats and the Tribe's scent was all gone. Pine had gotten stronger, but her heart had softened. What a pity. Revenge, she would get revenge. She stood up and forced herself not to wince and ran back. To where? She didn't know, but somewhere where she could find more loners and rouges and force them to join her. Train them to be strong with hard hearts. Anything to teach these cats a lesson. Then one day, seasons later, this camp will be theirs. Just you wait, Ninja will be back. She called for any surviving Tribe members to follow her lead into the depths of the forest. She would be back even stronger.
Pine watched as her old friend ran away, her old Tribe. Everything was gone now, no more Tribe. Everything was gone now. Nothing left. She sighed in relief and turned to Tiger, "You okay?"

Dappledpaw looked around the camp, relieved that the loner left and called for the other loners to leave with her. Dappledpaw jogged over to Cloudstar and sat down next to cream colored leader. The calico she-cat looked at all of the blood and lifeless bodies of cats scattered around the camp before asking Cloudstar "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Cloudstar looked up at Dappledpaw, "Yes, could you take the TwilightClan cats back to their territory?" he asked. The name of the new clan sounded strange on his tongue.
Pine scoffed as Ninja scampered away with the rest of the cats. She padded over to Cloudstar, "Howdy, who are you?"
Cloudstar ignored the rude attitude from the loner, "Name's Cloudstar, I'm leader of DawnClan."
Pine nodded and left to find Heavyfoot. When she spotted him, she called out, "Hey Heavystar," (this is her way of saying that he's her leader now) she mewed, "So could I get one of those fancy, two-word names?"

Tiger watched as Ninja ran off. "Coward..." he muttered under his breath. The tom spun around to face Pina and said "I'm fine... but why'd you let her escape? For all we know, she could come back..."

Pine shrugged, "If you knew me, you'd know that I often don't fight cats enough to kill them. Unless of course, I need to. I just get up to the point where I could easily kill them, then I give them the option to leave, or I leave. It keeps them coming back. If I beat all my opponents, I wouldn't have the chance to rematch them. Then I won't get stronger."

Tiger shrugged. "That's a... interesting tactic but it isn't worth it for what's happened here," he said, flicking his tail to all the limp bodies scattered in the clearing, pools of blood lapping at the grass, "We would have been better off to end it than to let it continue. These cats could have died from these loners, and who knows, maybe she'll come back with more and even stronger. They got lucky. Next time, it could be more devastating."

Pine shrugged again, "Perhaps. But it's all over and done with. If they come back I'll kill them." she said it so calmly, as if it wouldn't be a problem at all.
Cloudstar then remembered Bluestream and quickly sprinted to the nursery, where Brushleaf was, "How are my kits?" he asked sadly. His kit's mothers were gone. He padded up to Featherkit and licked her forehead and looked at her face by lifting it up a bit with his forepaw. She looked fine, no scratches. He moved over to Spottedkit and licked her too, then lifted her face. No scratches, she looked fine... but he noticed something, "Um Brushleaf, what's wrong with Spottedkit's eyes?" he asked. He was scared, Featherkit was fine, and then Leafkit had been stillborn. And the last kit of Bluestream's has some illness with her eyes?

Tiger narrowed his eye. "Don't be so sure of yourself. She could become much stronger than you could go off. I shoulder have ended right there... pushed you out of the way," he said, a slight growl in his voice.

( Who was wanting to be deputy of Twilightclan? I thought someone wanted too be so. =o )
Heavyfoot had slightly listened to Pine, and the other cat, and moved forward to them with a slight twitch of his ears. " You'll get it once we're back at camp. And... who are you? You fought on our side. Would it be likely of you to join Twilightclan? " He felt a bit odd when he was called 'Heavystar', but caught the idea that Pine thought of him as leader. Does every cat in our new clan really think I should be leader? Heavyfoot thought curiously to himself.
Brushleaf stared a bit more at the she-cat's eyes, they were a clouded yellow, not the normal yellow a cat would have. " I think... Spottedkit is blind." Brushleaf told the cats, shivering at the thought. " I better go, let Speckleleaf check on her. I need to go with my clan. " She gave a slight dip of her head, and pushed past Cloudstar, catching a glimpse of Speckleleaf caring for some of the cats in the clearing. Brushleaf hurried over to Heavyfoot, Pine, and another cat she didn't know, and tended quickly to all of their wounds, also checking Dappledpaw, as she was to lead them back to their own territory.
Speckleleaf finished tending to the rest of the Dawnclan cats, heading quickly to the nursery, seeing that Brushleaf was looking unhappy when she left. The medicine cat twitched her orange spotted nose, and pushed quietly inside. " Brushleaf just came out of the nursery and didn't look quite happy, is there something wrong here? "

Cloudstar looked up, "Look at Spottedkit..." he said with a shaky voice. It was a shock, Spottedkit seemed so... normal.
Spottedkit's ears perked up at the sound of her name and lifted her small nose into the air. After two sniffs, she quickly padded towards her father, licking his paw, seeing that she was too small to greet him properly. If it weren't for her clouded eyes, no one would be able to tell she was blind.
Cloudstar sighed, heart full of grief, "Brushleaf thinks she is blind."
--
Pine nearly caught herself from groaning out loud. She didn't want Tiger to be in the same clan as her. They had just had an argument and she didn't want to keep it going. She bit her tongue back, just imagining what kind of name she would get. What name did those other cats have? Plenty of cats had the name kit and paw, so those were probably not a good suffix. There was storm, foot, leaf and fang. Pinestorm? Pinefoot? Pineleaf? Pinefang? What about this "DawnClan?" They had different names too. Pinefur? Pinestream? She shuddered, it was too complicated to think about. (pineleaf actually sounds pretty good XD)

(Yeah, I like Pineleaf! LOL Pine and Tiger remind me of Sandpaw and Firepaw in the first book and how they were always fighting. xD)
Tiger removed his gaze from Pine and rested it on the grey tom standing before him. "Oh, of course... I'm Tiger," he said. His eyes widened at the offer. Did he really want this? Would he abandon them like he did with his Tribe? Was this meant to be? Of course, it couldn't hurt. Being alone wasn't the most tender life a cat could have. After thinking about it, he said "I accept."

Dappledpaw thanked Brushleaf for checking her, even though the only wounds she had were the ones she got from Pine. "All twilightclan cats that are ready to leave meet at the camp entrance." Dappledpaw called, already jogging quickly to the camp entrance. She stopped at the entrance and looked back at the camp. There was so much blood, the camp itself looked like it was bleeding. Dappledpaw waited for the Twilightclan cats, trying to not look at the blood covered ground and limp bodies.

Heavyfoot nodded slowly, " Then come, we're going back to our camp. You'll get your warrior names, or fancy, two-word names as you say, once we get back to our camp". He twitched his tail and padded over to Dappledpaw, Brushleaf right behind him.
Speckleleaf glanced down at the young kit, mewing," Let me see. " The brown tabby medicine cat blinked once and gazed into the kit's eyes. Spottedkit's eyes were a clouded yellow. She heaved a sigh, " Brushleaf was right. She is blind. " Speckleleaf stared sadly at the kit, glancing around the nursery, catching a glance at Featherkit's bright eyes. They were normal. Atleast one of Bluestream's kits would be able to become a warrior.
Featherkit blinked her blue eyes up at the brown tabby, turning away to pad on wobbly legs over to her sister. Her silver pelt was fluffed up and her face was terror-stricken. She gave her father a little lick on his other paw, like Spottedkit was doing.
( All Bluestream's kits don't seem quite normal. Blind, reincarnated, and dead. : { )

Cloudstar sighed and laid down, watching his kits lick his paws. A slow smile sneaked its way on his face. Featherkit seemed to be alright...
Spottedkit scrunched up her nose when Speckleleaf got near her. But when she scented the herbal aroma wafting from the cat, she padded up nearer. Oh how she loved the scent.
Acornfur grabbed one of the dead loners by the scruff and dragged them out of camp and onto the side of the thunderpath. No way did DawnClan want these dead loners. If the surviving cats wanted them, they could taken them.

Tiger nodded and trotted to where all the TwilightClan cats waited. He haulted beside them and looked over his shoulder. The camp was drenched in crimson and lifeless, mourning bodies showed no sign of movement and had a terrified facial expression on them as if their soul was still encased within the body. He shuddered and quickly looked forward, refraining himself from glancing back again.

Dappledpaw looked at the warriors around her, most of them were here. She looked around the camp and noticed Pine not to far away from the group. Tired of looking at the bloody camp Dappledpaw decided to head to Twilightclan's camp as soon as possible. "Alright Twilightclan cats we are heading out!" The apprentice shouted, already jogging out of the camp. She headed toward the battlegrounds, glad that she was doing something to help. Taking the Twilightclan cats back to their camp helped her keep her mind off of the battle that had occurred at Dawnclan's camp.

Heavyfoot and Brushleaf followed the apprentice, sharing few words of the recent battle.
Thornfang took a rogue's limp, scarred body, placing it by the Thunderpath, as Acornfur had done. He found himself standing over Ripplestream's limp, silver body, horror crawling through him. Ripplestream's claws were unsheathed and her eyes were glazed with clouded horror, her mouth agape. Thornfang gently closed her eyes and pushed her claws back into their sockets, also closing her mouth until she was in a position that made her look like she was sleeping. He padded to the entrance of the nursery and mewed, " Cloudstar. Ripplestream... we lost her. She's dead. I- I think she was the only warrior we lost today." The young tom stared at the ground, he had never truly known Ripplestream well. But, it still hurt to lose a clanmate.
