Opalstone, a pure white DuneClan she-cat with opal-like multicolored eyes, stood near the AshClan border. Her white pelt was covered with flecks of sand where they had blown in it, making it a light, faded sepia. Opalstone was near the place where the land starting to level out and instead of sandy dunes, it became hidden by soot and ash. She was frozen with her ears pricked at the sound of a dull scuttling, muffled by the soft sand ground. But this made it easier to creep up unheard. She approached the sound and soon saw a rabbit, rarely spotted on DuneClan territory. DuneClan cats usually were thin and small because of the fact they usually ate shrews and mice, with the occasional scorpion. But a rabbit meant good news; there could be more near here. Since she was small, Opalstone thought that she could probably outrun the rabbit, and kill it. She measured the distance, then leapt, landing just behind the rabbit. She hit the ground running, but the rabbit had seen her shadow. She chased it with tireless energy, not noticing at first when she strayed into AshClan territory. She wandered farther and farther, but neither her or the rabbit where losing, or gaining, any distance. She was very far from the border, to into her prey. But then the prey tried to turn sharply to get away, but misjudged and fell short. Opalstone jumped and killed it quickly. Only then she noticed where she was. "Uh oh," she muttered between the rabbit in her teeth. She dragged it along, but was utterly lost. Which was was the border?

Winterpatch often explored AshClan territory alone, finding every crevice and hiding spot on the territory. His dark eyes glowed with anger when he saw a DuneClan cat chasing a rabbit on AshClan territory. He ran full speed at the DuneClanner and when she stopped he tackled and pinned her, snarling angrily.

Opalstone let out a muffled yowl of pain and fear as something hit her hard. She was pinned lying on her stomach, the rabbit still in her jaws. Opalstone knew from her training all the fighting moves, at least all her mentor had taught her, and remembered the one fatal move: the killing bite. It was used in last resort, or sometimes crueler cats used it regularly. All you did was bite the back of the victim's neck. She knew she was also very vulnerable to this move, the move that would end her life. She struggled helplessly, kicking her hind legs and flailing her forelegs. She managed to do a clumsy roll, but it got her out from under the cat. She saw before her a jet-black cat with a white spot on his chest. She blinked, and growled, setting down her catch but guarding it preciously. "This is a DuneClan rabbit," she meowed angrily, fur bristling.

Winterpatch jumped back when the she-cat rolled from under him "Its not DuneClan if it was on our territory you piece of fox-dung" Winterpatch did not take kindly to cats who took prey off AshClan territory and claimed it as whatever their clan's name is prey.

"But it is!" Opalstone meowed defiantly, "I chased it from DuneClan territory. I only just noticed I was here. You don't see many rabbits in DuneClan, and I was so into catching it I didn't realize." She hoped the tom had arrived in time to see the moment of confusion she had had and the look in her eyes when she finished hunting. She growled though, realizing she'd said a little too much. But she didn't say anything.

Winterpatch snorted "Ill let it go this time, but I never want to catch you on our territory again, even if its just an accident I wont hesitate to attack" This she-cat was pretty and he didnt want to be mean but as usual he had to put on this act to protect AshClan.

The she-cat snorted back. "I see right through you," she meowed, flicking her tail, "You're a horrible liar." She smirked. "What a waste, such a handsome cat like you being spent as an AshClanner." Coming from Opalstone, that was a big compliment. She never was too friendly with other Clans, though in DuneClan she was sweet and kind.

Winterpatch blinked, then hissed "I havent always been an AshClanner" He didnt actually want to be one at first, but his sister, SIlverdream, wanted to live in a clan so badly and he went wherever she did because he protected her.

Opalstone looked confused a second, and then hissed in anger. "That was a compliment you worthless piece of fox-dung! But obviously you've got bees in your brain. Good bye." She turned on her heel, picked up her rabbit, and started to storm off.
OOC: You could post again, maybe, I don't know.

Winterpatch watched her walk away, fur bristling in anger and claws unsheathed, just ready for a fight. How would he tel this to Rowanstar? A cat trespassed on their territory and he was just letting her go!

Opalstone turned around with a snarl, dropping her rabbit with a sudden anger. She looked weary but furious. "What? Do you want to start something?" she challenged, fur standing on end.

Winterpatch crouched down, growling angrily "I cant just let you leave with a piece of prey without at least giving a fight, if I did Rowanstar would have my tail." He snarled

"Fine!" Opalstone hissed, springing into action and jumping onto his back. She scored her claws into his flanks and dug them in mercilessly, holding on with them, and sunk her teeth into the back of his neck, not in the manner of the killing bite, though. Somehow she didn't actually feel like KILLING a cat.

Winterpatch yowled in surprise and felt the sting of teeth in his neck. He rolled over onto his back to try and dislodge Opalstone by smashing her under him.

The wind was knocked out of her as Opalstone was smushed under the larger tom. She let go and rolled away, snarling in frustration. She picked up her rabbit and turned tail to flee, since she wasn't looking for a battle. As she neared the streams she looked over her shoulder, at just the wrong time. She misjudged and soon found herself flunged into the steaming river. Not used to the heat, even hotter than a desert sun, she yowled in surprise, but her yowl fell short into a gurgle as she passed underwater. She was soon in deep water, and unable to swim, she struggled to get back to shallow depths. She ended up swallowing a mouthload of water and losing her rabbit in the stream, and when she emerged from the streams she was soaking wet and hot with anger at herself.
