One Paw Out Of Place

[| Crowstar |]

"You crossed the border flea-bag!" The black tom said, arching his back and hissing loudly.
"I did no such thing, Crowstar!" the white tom yowled, unsheathing deadly claws.
"Do you dare lie?!" Crowstar snarled, raising a paw up at the other Clan cat who crossed his border.
"You calling me a lair, mousebrain!?" Thornfrost hissed.
"That's what I said fox-breath!" The black tom hissed.
"I'll tear you apart!"
"Try it, bird-brain!" Crowstar yowled.
The white tom launched himself at the ThunderClan leader and raked his claws down the long tom's sides. Crowstar yowled loudly and kicked Thornfrost in the side, sending the warrior away for a moment. Both of the Clans would have heard their yowling, Crowstar could not avoid the coming battle.

Thistleclaw rushed to Thornfrost's side, his long gray and white fur poofed out in anticipation of battle and a rumbling hiss echoing off of his body, "Get away from him, mousedung!" he spat, hurtling himself at Crowstar.

[| Crowstar |]

"What?!" Crowstar yowled loudly and thrust himself at Thistleclaw, razor claws latching onto the other tom's shoulders with a volent hiss. He pushed on his back legs, pushing against the other tom and trying to back him up.

Thornfrost hissed loudly and let his tail lash, "Mousedung!" He growled his tail lashing, a white shape exploded from the bushes and tackled him. Whisperpaw's long claws raked down the older warriors sides, Thornfrost thrust the young cat into a nearby tree with a triumphent yowl. Whisperpaw, not being one to stop, hissed loudly and fluffed up her white pelt. She launched herself into the air, twisted rapidly and landed on the white toms shoulders with a furious hiss.

Silentstar ran as fast as she could. She had heard the yowl that tore throw Windclan. As she came to the place where the yowls had come from. Her hackles raised as she saw two cats belonging to Windclan, Thistleclaw and Thornfrost, and the Thunderclan leader, Crowstar, along with a Thunderclan warrior. The gray and white she-cat hissed angrily and launched herself at Whisperpaw. She unsheathed her claws and hoped to hit the young cat.

[| Crowstar |]

Whisperpaw felt claws curve into her side, the young cat yowled and rolled off Thornfrost. She uncurled her long claws and slashed upwards, desperately trying to shake the Windclan warrior. This was not going to work, she and her leader were out-numbered.

Thornfrost launched himself at Crowstar and lunged for the black tom, avoiding Thistleclaw. They were going to win, three against two. He almost purred but slashed at Crowstar's long legs, spitting angrily.

Crowstar yowled as claws slashed his legs and he pushed harder on Thistleclaw, trying to make the smaller tom move. He watched Thistleclaw's muscles twist and push and he figured there was no way in Starclan he could fight two cats as one, and he couldn't let Whisperpaw take on Silentstar.

Webwhisker heard the yowling from the borders and his ears pricked in interest. Berrypaw was with him, the young apprentice bounding around happily. She stopped and grimaced. "Fighting." You got that right." The orange tom said, flicking his ears and trying to see who the winners were.

Harepaw bounded across the land, running towards the sounds of fighting. He wasn't needed just yet, so he took his sweet time.

The young apprentice's claws raked down Silentstar's face leaving bloody trails. She hissed and swiped at the apprentice. She wasn't going to let a mouse-brained apprentice and her clan beat the Windclan. Silentstar glanced quickly towards Crowstar. She'd have to watch her back with him if Windclan was going to win this.

Thistleclaw whirled around, raking his claws down the sides of Crowstar's face with a snarl of rage and was tossed to the side as several cats came rushing in all at once, and he rounded on Crowstar, opening his jaws and enclosing them on the black tom's tail and he bit down.

[| Crowstar |]

Whisperpaw saw her chance, and faster the you could say mouse, she pushed up with all the weight in her small, power-packed body and pushed Silentstar up and off. With a hiss, as she rose to her hind legs, she armed her paw and slammed it at the other she-cats face. She hoped for a face blow but then leaped at Silentstar, eyes wide as she hissed and bit down on her scruff.

Crowstar yowled in pain as the other tom bit down on his tail, but Thistleclaw had made the wrong move. The long tom's hindquarters bunched together as he lashed out with both paws, catching the other cat on the shoulder. Crowstar then pulled away from the other cat, hoping to pull his tail free and send Thistleclaw flying. Then the black tom turned on Thornfrost, with a hiss of annoyance, he launched himself at the white tom. Thornfrost rose to his hind legs and batted at the larger tom as he came, but Crowstar easily unbalanced him. As Thornfrost landed the white tom have Crowstar's shoulder a nice hit, blood welling up easily on the shoulder.

Silentstar hissed in surprise as the young apprentice pushed her off and then hit in the face by the she-cat's paw. She hissed angrily but before she could retaliate, Silentstar felt Whisperpaw's fangs sink into her scruff. The grey and white Windclan leader shook herself roughly, trying to shake off the other cat.

[| Crowstar |]

Whisperpaw hissed and held on tighter to the violently shaking she-cat, she dug her claws into the other cats shoulder blades and hips. Whisperpaw wished the cat would stop shaking, for each time she shook the apprentices paws sunk in deeper. This was the first training move she had been taught, and Crowstar had taught her it. She was a small cat, even for an apprentice, so aerial moves were as easy as walking for her. She gripped tighter to the Windclan leader, with her her being occupied, maybe Crowstar had a chance. She hoped a Thunderclan warrior would come soon, they were heavily outnumbered with another Windclan cat on the way. Whisperpaw looked frantically over at Crowstar as he battled the well muscled Windclan tom, her claws sunk in deeper as she began to slide, then she regained her balance by lashing her tail in a rapid circle.

[X. Acidstar .X]

Thistleclaw snarled and spat in rage as his shoulder caught the enemy's claws, and he wrapped his four paws around Crowstar's belly after he was temptingly thrown away but he dashed back, and he began to thrust his back legs against the softer underbelly of Crowstar, leaving his back unprotected but allowing his claws to sink into his opponent.
