Cloudstorm was chasing a rabbit. This was the first prey he saw that day and he was desperate to catch it. As he ran, he realized that he was in Clan territory. The whole place smelled of disgusting Clan cats. It doesn't matter, he thought irritably. It's still my rabbit. It just ran into their territory, it wasn't there in the first place. With a huge leap, he caught the rabbit and killed it swiftly with a bite to the next. He sat down on the ground and started to eat the rabbit slowly, enjoying every bite. It was unusually fat and tasty. He was still eating when he scented ShoreClan cats. With that stench anyone could smell them from across the forest. he thought as he straightened up, stiff-legged, but ready for the fight. As he waited for the cats to notice him, stooped and gulped down the last mouthfuls of the rabbit, leaving the bones scattered in front of him.

Dawntear stalked out of the bushes, with her tail and head high. She was unusually energetic today and she was on a border patrol. Suddenly she scented rogue, and, hissing furiously, charged toward the smell as if she cared about nothing else than to fight Cloudstorm immediately.

As soon as Dawntear was out of the bushes, Cloudstorm flew at her, clawing at her flanks and muzzle, and sinking his teeth into her shoulders. It felt so good to be fighting again, defending himself. He found he was almost enjoying the sudden action. At least he didn't have to live such a lazy life.

Dawntear fought back as hard as she could, clawing, biting mercilessly. But she know well that the rogue was a better fighter than she was and he was bigger and stronger than herself. She soon found herself fighting for her own life.

Cloudstorm could see at once that the she-cat was not as good a fighter as he was. She was also smaller and younger than him, and this gave him an advantage too. He forced Dawntear under him. He did not intend to kill her, though it wouldn't matter to him that much if he did. Still, he wasn't a murderer. He hated losing battles and would do almost anything to avoid that, and if that meant killing this young, but fierce warrior, he would do that. Right at the moment, though, he merely intended to give her a few scars, so that she had something to remember by for a lifetime.

As she was forced down onto the ground by the big rogue, Dawntear instinctively kicked out her hind legs and slashed with her claws at Cloudstorm's soft underbelly. At the same time she lifted her head up as far as she could and bit down on Cloudstorm's front leg.

Cloudstorm screeched in pain, but did not let go. He fought even harder, squashing Dawntear almost flat, while trying to slam her head into the ground.

Dawntear did not let go of Cloudstorm's leg, and she kept clawing at his underbelly, screeching in pain as well as satisfaction that she was drawing blood from the rogue.

Cloudstorm backed away, tearing Dawntears paws from his belly, but not to give up. Before the warrior had time to stand up, he jumped and landed squarely on her claws extended. "You won't win this fight!" roared Cloudstorm in fury, careful not to expose his soft underbelly to the she-cat.

"No, you won't!" Dawntear spat, even though she wasn't as sure about that as she sounded. She knew she was beaten, helpless against this big rogue who seemed to know all about fighting. She tried hard to think of some tricks to get out of this tight corner, well, I could play dead... No, he would know. I could try to bite his front legs... That seemed to be the only sensible thing to do, so once again she rised her head and fastened her teeth around Cloudstorm's other front leg.

Cloudstorm felt Dawntear's teeth sink into his leg, but did not cry out in pain. With his other leg, he tore at Dawntear's side with his huge hooked claws. He bit her upper muzzle trying to pull it away from his bleeding, while scratching and clawing her with his hind legs. "I don't want to kill you. You are brave and a strong fighter. But don't be foolish. Leave this place and return to your camp. I could kill you, but I'll spare your life if you leave me alone." he breathed into her ear.

"No, you have to get out of ShoreClan territory first," Dawntear growled, still biting hard into Cloudstorm's front leg, "I'm not leaving until you get out of ShoreClan territory!"

"Then you'll die, you mousebrained fool!" Cloudstorm spat, finally tearing his leg away from Dawntear. He raised a mighty paw and landed a blow on Dawntear's face with all the strength he posessed. he bit down on her left shoulder and gripped it with his jaws tightly.

Dawntear's sensed swam as Cloudstorm's big paw landed a heavy blow on her head. She barely felt the pain on her shoulder as he bit into the flesh. She felt herself slide into unconsciousness.

Cloudstorm looked for a moment at the unconscious she-cat then drew back. He looked around. There won't be any prey left now with the racket we were making. he thought. He looked once more at Dawntear, Her Clanmates will find her. They're so weak they have to rely on other cats.... He turned and padded out of ShoreClan territory, leaving the heap of rabbit bones beside Dawntear.
