Opalstone padded right past AshClan border, on a solo patrol. She halted, catching a strangely familiar whiff, an AshClan cat. She opened her mouth and the tang hit the roof of her mouth sharply. A tom...Winterpatch?! She toed the border line, barely stepping over it. No other scents were with him, so she called out. "Winterpatch?"

Winterpatch was out hunting when he heard someone call his name...he knew that voice anywhere "Opalstone!?" he whipped around and ran to the border, seeing Opalstone "What are you doing out here?"

"Sorry," Opalstone apoligized, taking a step back so she was on the DuneClan side, "Hi, Winterpatch!" She tried not to think about last time she saw him, when his Clanmate had died. She smiled slightly. "At least this time we don't have to meet on hostile terms, where I've stolen a rabbit from your Clan."

"Yeah, and I had to tell the clan I killed Erminefire, because, I didn't find a foxhole on my way to camp and wasn't going o rat you out" Winterpatch purred in amusement, suddenly shaking his fur to get rid of the ashes falling on him.

Opalstone grimaced. "Sorry 'bout that," she meowed, flicking her tail. She looked deep into his eyes, trying to find out what he was feeling

"Its okay, no one was mad at me, after I explained that it was what he wanted" He remebered the look on Lonemist's face when she saw Erminefire's limp lifeless body being dragged into the clearing.

"Whats wrong?" Opalstone asked suddenly. She was really shocked, in her head. Why did I ask that? she wondered, He's my friend, but he's from AshClan...

Opalstone still eyed him a bit skeptically, but let it go. She might have misheard, but she thought she caught a tone of sadness before. Shrugging it off, she sighed. "Nevermind," she replied quietly. Suddenly her ears swiveled towards a sound behind a burnt tree. Turning towards it, she tilted her head curiously. Huh? She blinked at the black crisp of a willow, narrowing her eyes. Just as she started to think it was nothing, a big red-orange shape came bounding out, grinning stupidly. Fox! She growled. The fox was on DuneClan's side. She rushed to it, and sprung onto its back snarling. It plopped down and rolled over, crushing her underneath.

Winterpatch beared his teeth, midnight black fur bristling as he bounded across the border and leaped at the fox. He landed on its stomach while it was still flipped over and scored his long razor claws across its underside, also snapping his teeth down on one of its forlegs.

Opalstone rolled backwards and jumped up, lashing out with her claws on the fox's muzzle. The fox growled and snatched her by the scruff, ignoring Winterpatch's belly rakes and pulling her towards it. Then it sunk its ivory fangs in her neck greedily. As the crimson flowed from her wound, Opalstone gurgled and choked on her own blood.

Winterpatch let out a feirce battle cry and with every ounce of skill and strength he had, leaped onto the foxes back, forcing it to the ground and clamping his jaws around its neck, he was going to kill this fox for hurting Opalstone like that. Winterpatch promised not to let go of the wretched red beasts neck until it was officially dead and gone.

Opalstone faintly saw the fox grow limp. It rasped in a tiny gurgling voice, and then died. The fox let go of her when it rasped, and then fell onto her lifelessly. She struggled unenthusiastically out, finally escaping. Then she got up and walked a few paces. Suddenly she fell to the left, landing on her side, flanks heaving with the effort to breathe. She could, but it was difficult.
OOC: You know what this reminds me of? That scene in SP (Simbas Pride) where Simba is with Kiara, Timon, and Pumbaa telling them about Kovu's 'betrayal' and he falls. Thats what it should look like - Opalstone's collapse, I mean.

Winterpatch shook it violently one last time then noticed Opalstone collapse on the ground "Opalstone! You won't be able to make it back to your camp, you have to come back to AshClan with me" He urged, it was the first time in a long time that he cared if someone other than his sister died.

"No, no, I'll be fine," Opalstone mumbled, but she wasn't in her right mind at the moment. Things swirled before her eyes and she blinked, trying to right herself. She shook herself vigorously, slowly rising to her paws. "Wha..." she murmured, then her voice rose to a frantic mew, "What happened?! Oh no, I...Agh...this really...hurts." She realized a little too late the throbbing pain in her neck as she looked down and saw the blood. She yelped at the amount, and the full force of the dull throbbing pain hit her. She shrieked and gritted her teeth. "Ow, ow, ow," she whispered, then felt herself grow dizzy yet again, this time threatening to faint as she tottered dangerously on her toes. The sight of blood had shaken her, and almost made her faint from loss of blood, but also shocked her. "Maybe...I should..."
