Watching (CLOSED)

The large black tom gazed out over the border between DarkClan and ThunderClan, almost as if he's considering crossing the border. He snorts and paces along the border.

OOC: I forgot how Dreampaw looked... T^T

A small Apprentice bolted from the bushes, chasing a mouse. Her extended claws grabbed the mouse, and she killed it with on swift bite to its neck. Her pelt prickled as she picked up the mingled scents of Loner, Darkclan, and a bit of Shadowclan. "Who's there?" She mewed, burying her mouse to get later.

Stealthclaw stops pacing and looks for where the voice came from and scents the air, smelling ThunderClan.

Dreampaw snorted when no one answered. I'll say this again... "Who's there?!" She spat, pelt prickling more.

Branchpaw walked near the border. Prey was thin and scarce in the regular hunting places, so he decided to hunt in the less hunted in areas. He was bent low, stalking through the undergrowth, eying every bush. Still nothing. He scented the air and caught a strange, new scent. One of another cat.

Branchpaw looked around frantically before stalking forward. There, he saw another cat, but he was outside the border.

"Not planning on walking over here, are you?" He looked behind him when he heard Dreampaw yelling out who was there. "Over here Dreampaw!" He called to her.

Stealthclaw finds the small apprentice and he smiles, "I am Stealthclaw." He laughs and his eyes burn when he starts to expect a fight.

Dreampaw pricked her ears at Branchpaw's mew. "Coming!" She darted over to where the voice was and skidded to a stop. "It's too wet these days..." She muttered, her eyes inspecting the larger cat.

Stealthclaw laughs roughly. He unsheathes his claws and says, "ThunderClan has always been weak."

Dreampaw's eyes slitted. "What gives you the right to call Thunderclan weak!?" She hissed, lashing her tail. Her claws unsheathed too, but she knew that an Apprentice was no match for a cat the age of a Warrior.

Stealthclaw smiles, "Don't you remember ThunderClan's past? While ThunderClan has had great leaders, they've weakened." He steps over the border. "I can take on BOTH of you and still win. Want to take the chance?"

Dreampaw stepped back. "I'd r-rather not..." Her shyness started to kick in, making her stutter.

Stealthclaw laughed loudly. "You're so tough when the enemy is over the border. HA!" He starts to circle the apprentice. "There is no escape." He looks at Branchpaw before looking back at Dreampaw.

Dreampaw fluffed up her fur. Where's my mentor, Silverstar, when you need her? The apprentice dropped into a crouch, eyes slitted, claws fully extended. "I could u-use some help here, Branchpaw!" She hissed towards the other Apprentice.

Branchpaw growled at the other cat. Did he just come here to start a fight!? He just came to see if this cat was planning on making a move over the border, then he'd leave and keep an eye on him, but now he dared to call their clan weak!? It was an outrage!

Branchpaw sheathed his claws when the other cat crossed the border and started to circle his clanmate. "Get out of our territory," he growled before leaping at the other cat.

The tom laughed and leaps over Dreampaw and attempts to claw Dreampaw's back. He looks at Branchpaw and steps back, trying to get the two apprentices to collide.

Dreampaw dodged the older cat's claws. She was younger, and full of energy. The she-cat leaped for Stealthclaw, claws extended. She somewhat flailed, thrashing her claws down on Stealthclaw's body.

Stealthclaw does a small flip to avoid attacks and slips into the bushes in the confusion.

Branchpaw, not expecting the other cat to do a.... flip? Out of the way, since he didn't know a cat was capable of that, fell into Dreampaw. She had leaped after he leaped, the impending collision was no doubt going to happen, and it wouldn't end well. He unsheathed his claws, so when they did crash, he wouldn't cause her harm.

Dreampaw was knocked to the ground when she and Branchpaw hit. "Ow..." The she-cat winced as she got up. Dreampaw stayed as far away as she could from the bush that Stealthclaw disapeared into. "This is no use..."

Stealthclaw watches, amused, at the two apprentices, hidden. He then leaps out of the bush at Dreampaw.

"We need to get him out of the territory, who knows what this crazy cat will start." Branchpaw said as he heaved himself up and looked over at the bush. "Do you have a plan?" He whispered to her. He tensed himself when he saw Stealthclaw jumped out of the bushes, aiming for Dreampaw. He unsheathed his claws again and jumped at him again so he can knock him over and intercept his attack.

The large tom crashes into a tree, tackled by the apprentice. He groans and tries to get up, but just collapses. "How... was I... beaten by... APPRENTICES!" He spat and tried to get up again.

Branchpaw jumped back from the tom and growled. He walked back up to him and put a paw on him to pin him down. "So are you going to leave now?" He growled.

NO MUSE

Stealthclaw sighed and snapped at Branchpaw and winces. He tries to get up and whines. "Beaten by an apprentice and gained broken ribs to prove it..." he mutters and his eyes darken.

Branhcpaw grunted at Stealthclaw futile snap. He stepped off him and slashed at Stealthclaw, aiming at his flank. "Get out of here!" He growled.

STILL NO MUSE
