Fighting And It's Not Play

[minttail]

Minttail was licking a calico paw, purring to herself. Everything was perfect! She was hoping to hunt with Deathclaw that evening and then share tongues after that. She sighed, but that sigh erupted in a yowl of fear. Flickerheart was suddenly in front of her. He gave a raspy laugh, but hissed as she growled in anger," Hello, Crookedheart." He gave a battlecry and clawed into her pelt. Minttail gave a shriek as they tumbled over the clearing. Flickerheart clawed her cheek; as if she were a fox. "HELP!" But her cry was muffled as he ripped his claw down the side of her neck. She managed to bite his paw. A panting she-cat sat inches away...anger engulfed the tom as he leaped, and in a second he had clawed her left eye, blood soaked his white paw's and her gentle face. She collapsed and Flickerheart left triumphantly, yet slowly.

[Deathclaw]

Deathclaw walked into the clearing wondering what Minttail had wanted with him. "Minttail you there?" he asked as he stepped into the clearing, and then he saw her. "Great StraClan!" he muttered. "MINTTAIL!" he yowled as he rushed to her side. 'Ok what did Heathersky say when someone was injured?' he cursed himself for not paying more attention. He ran to get a _____ leaf to heal her wounds. " I'll go get help after I get the cobwebs." he muttered.

[minttail]

Minttail gave a cough,"Deathclaw?" She asked, keeping her left eye closed. A blue eye peered at him, showing fear and confusion. "Flickerheart; where is he?" She gave a cough, her flank was mixed with blood from the wound on her neck, eye, and sides. The injured cat managed a smile, "So you know a little medicine?" She questioned in a strangely weak voice. She closed her right eye, and gave a flinch, "He's here!" She wailed in a thin voice before fainting in fear and blood loss.

The she-cat was correct, a now blood thirsty tom lurked in the shadows, ready to pounce on the tom and Minttail. In a furious yowl he launched himself at Deathclaw's face. He landed farther than he intended, staggering to regain balance.

[Deathclaw]

"AHHHHH!" Deathclaw yowled as he swept around and clawed at Flickerhearts face. "How could you do this to a Clanmate!?" he yowled again and jumped onto the Toms back after recieving a scratch on he flank from Flickerheart. He then went into a blind fury clawing wherever he could get at the opposing tom. "You probably don't know this but I haven't been defeated once and It ain't gonna start now!" then he resumed he furious onslaught.

[minttail]

Minttail listened to screeches and yowls of the battling toms. Each swipe they made was one step closer to death, her old friend and her new love. Staggering under the weight of her shuddering body she managed to push Flickerheart away from Deathclaw, one eye covered in bloody cobwebs her remaining eyes burned with anger,"You can hurt me, but not my friends!" In a single yowl the two were tussling weakly. Blood and fear scent spread as a white tom stood over the white and calico she-cat in triumphant. "Who's hurt now?" He hissed in a taunting tone. In moments the she-cat lay limp, the tom yowled in happiness. A yowl pierced the air as he was knocked aside by the formerly still warrior. In second Flickerheart was gone; and Minttail lay in a bloody heap.

[Deathclaw]

"Minttail I'll get you to saftey." he cooed to the injured calico cat. He then pulled the cat to a mossy area and looked about finding alot of cobwebs. 'Great.' he thought. "Here this'll stop the bleeding." he said softley. Then he lifted the she-cat onto is large back and started to carry her back to camp.

(not trying to powerplay ok)

[~Wintertail~]

OOC: I'll use Wintertail, she'll help

Wintertail was at the fresh-kill pile, gnawing away at a small wood-mouse. She dropped the mouse from her claws as she saw Deathclaw carrying.......something bloody. She then gasped in horror as she figured out what the bloody limp body was.

Minttail!

Wintertail shot up from where she was laying, and darted toward the two injured cats. She quickly helped lift up Minttail, her snow-white fur getting full of the sticky blood.

"Here, we'll take here to Heathersky(If she posts)!" meowed Wintertail urgently, "Then you can tell me what on earth happened!"

[Deathclaw]

((THANK YOU *exaggerating tone*))

Deathclaw saw Wintertail but only vaguely as if in a dream. His fight with Flickerheart made him tired and too beat up to even move. But even so he moved robotically so that he could save Minttail. "Uhnn-uhh..... sure..... after I get some sleep...."he said in a dimming voice. Deathclaw collapsed to thr groun with Minttail still upon his back.

'Am I dead?' Deathclaw thought as he floated around in his subconsciousness. 'NO i can't die yet!!' he thought. "No no no!" he called as he slowly reclaimed consciousness. "I-I'm alive?" he asked.

[minttail]

ooc: Kill him! Muhahaha! Sealpaw go whack whack to Flicker and hopefully he goes to a kitty grave. WAIT! I RP him so he will die somehow...evil!

"Yeah. Wintertail, let me see Minttail...here's some cobweb." A silver tabby furiously pushed the cobwebs into her pelt. "You guys stay with her I'm getting Flicker--" Before the young tom could finish a voice interrupted. "Looking for me?" The two toms met head on and soon Flickerheart lay, almost dead. He quickly pulled the apprentice down, "Die a painful death!" The white warrior's eyes softened, "I'm sorry...Minttail, Sealpaw, Star--" In a shudder the tom's life was finished. Sealpaw beckoned for them to leave.

[Deathclaw]

((*What the HECK!!!!* i wanted to kill him but ok))

[minttail]

(Sorry!)

[Deathclaw]

(No no it's fine)

Deathclaw stared in awe at the dead body before him. "Are you sure he's dead?" Deathclaw paws at Flicker's corpse waiting for something to happen. Waiting, waiting,waiting. Nothing. "*sigh* ok so he really is dead, cause he really wouldn't have wanted to meet me in battle after wht he did to you Minty." Deathclaw says caringly..... then he blushes and turns away. 'I hope she didn't notice the look i gave her.' he thought. he looked back at her and saw how beautiful she was.

[minttail]

"Come on, lover boy. We need to help her somewhere...let's see if she'll wake up." Sealpaw gently nudged the older warrior. She lightly lifted her head as her blue eye fluttered open. "Where am I?" Sealpaw gently licked her clawed cheek, "The camp, Flickerheart hurt you; he's gone..." The silver tabby explained, almost sobbing. "Come on, Deathclaw let her lean on you, cause your the biggest. Minttail come over here, we need to see if anythings broken." After he finished Minttail managed a weak limp or two before laying down. "I'm exhausted." She complained in pain, "What happened today?" She asked in confusion.

[Deathclaw]

"wow the loss of blood must have gone to her head." Deathclaw says. "Minttail just come over here and lie on my back I'll carry you ok." he suggests to his bleeding friend. He waits for Minttail to climb on before he says." Sealpaw, even if I'm not deputy or your mentor, I'm telling you to go to camp and get help I won't be able to carry her for long because I fought Flicker too and am weary." he tells Sealpaw.
