It may sound absurd, but don't be naive...[/u][/i][/s]
Fearowstrike trudged along in the Icicle Cavern. Her tail drooped and dragged and her eyes were lacking their usual lively spark. Her own apprentice doubted her wisdom of the warrior code! She shook her head to herself.
Even heros have a right to bleed.[/b][/u]
She flicked her gaze up at a sound from farther in the cave, and her ears swiveled to the sudden alerting of another presence. She could smell fox, and her nose wrinkled in disgust. Tail lashing, she crept forward, trying to keep it still as she searched for the fox.
I may be disturbed, but won't you concede?[/u][/s]
Spotting it, she stayed low to the ground as she tried to sum up the situation. It looked like there was only one, and it didn't have any tinge of milk. No kits. She blinked, taking one last deep breath, then sprung forward, making no sound as she flew through the air towards the intruder. Landing on its back, she dug her ivory claws into its back, snarling.
Even heroes have a right to dream.[/b][/u]
The fox flopped over instinctively, crushing her under its bulky frame. Fearowstirke let out a muffled cry of pain and outrage, still hanging on to its back even after its bold move. She struggled against it, letting go and squirming out from underneath. She whipped around, confronting the fox head-on. But it was ready. It jumped, pushing her onto her back. Pinning her down, it lunged for her throat, sinking its sharp fangs into the tender flesh satisfactedly.
Its not easy to be me.[/u][/b][/s]

Soulfrost was a white blur as she tore through the tunnels. The she-cat let out a rage of snarl as she ran head on and crashed into the fox with a force that sent them both a good deal away from Fearowstrike.
OOC: Hmm.....I may end up killing Soulfrost soon...hm

Rapidrush ran in and went to help Fearowstrike she went to Fearowstrike and stood beside her, snarling at the fox.

OOC: Just one fox. And Squid - a 'rage of snarl'? Don't you mean a 'snarl of rage'?
Fearowstrike hopped back onto her paws, blood dripping down her front. She blinked, letting a wail of pain that was a thousandth the pain she felt escape. There, the exact spot where the fox had bitten, was the same place Kwt341 had chose to sunk her teeth in when she killed Fearowstar. Now Fearowstrike was back, but her neck had still bore a scar til that very day. Now the fox's attack had reopened it, even with little contact, and blood flowed from it unevenly. The regal brown tabby she-cat swayed, eyes closing involuntarily. Not from blood loss, though that might affect her soon, but from fear at the mere memory. Steadying herself, she charged at the fox, yowling a curse. Hooking her claws in, she dug down, snapping and catching it by the tail when it lashed its tail at her.

Swirlmark came dashing towards the fox. She jumped into the air, unsheathing her long claws. Her white and silver fur rippled over her muscles as she landed on the fox's back. She dug her long claws into the fox's red fur, tearing off big chunks of fur. She hissed angrily in the fox's ear, then bit down in the back of its neck. She felt the metallic flavored blood seep into her mouth, but she knew her bite wasn't going to kill the fox.

Fearowstrike still held onto the fox's tail, snarling. It snapped at her and its other attackers, shaking itself wildly. Fearowstrike lost her grip and was hurled across the caverns, landing with a very much audible thud about a fox-length away. A rumbling sound began to sound in the cavern, and then giant icicles began to fall. The fox jerked away, sending Swirlmask and Soulfrost tumbling away, and started to run. One of the falling icicles speared into its back, halting it on the spot. It let out a strangled choking sound, then fell to the ground, causing more to fall. Fearowstrike yowled in fear and shrank back, watching the shower of frozen spikes in horror. They fell from all sides around her, and one spiraled down towards her figure. She shrieked and jumped back, but it came down on her paw, going right through it, and causing her to let out a scream of pure agony. She struggled and kicked, screaming all the while. But now she was stuck. Looking up as more icicles fell, she hoped to StarClan none would fall from up above her. She had no way to dodge now, and it would surely kill her. Gasping in pain and starting to hyperventilate, she forced herself to remain calm as the rumbling stopped. Many icicles had fallen, but not all, or too many. Just her luck her paw was now splintered with one of them. She peered around, but the fallen crystals blocked her view. "Hello? Rapidrush? Soulfrost? Swirlmask?"

Swirlmark had been lucky enough to avoid all the icicles. She dashed over to Fearowstrike, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Just hold still, I'll get you free." She looked down at the icicle, then turned her head so she could grasp it between her teeth. As she placed one paw on the edge of Fearowstrike's punctured paw, she tugged upwards at the icicle. She braced her self to see what Fearowstrike's reaction would be; she didn't want to hurt her fellow warrior too much.

Fearowstrike grimaced and sunk her other claws into the ice, but was silent. She screwed up her face, still not saying a word. Finally after this, she spoke quietly. "Please make it quick," she murmured.

Rapidrush was still replaying what happened, because, one minute she was snarling, the next she was alone and Feartrike had a icicle in her paw. Then when Fearowstrike said "Make it quick" she then came over and nuzzled Fearowstrike, to make it more comfortable while Swirlmark was taking the icicle out.

Swirlmark said nothing, narrowing her eyes in concentration. Then with one quick jerk, she ripped the icicle out of Fearowstrike's paw. She let the chunk of ice fall to the ground, where it shattered into many tiny crystals. Then she looked over at the young warrior. "Are you able to walk back to camp with your paw injured like that?"

The paw was now rapidly and freely spurting blood, and Fearowstrike winced, but nodded slightly. "Yes, I can make it, I think, though not without limping," she replied, voice strained but determined. Her eyes flashed and narrowed. "We need to inform Mustangstar there was a fox here, though its dead now. And to warn other cats not to come because of these scattered, shattered icicles"

Soulfrost had been on an opposite side of the tunnel and when they'd started to fall she had tried to swerve around them and get to Fearowstrike. First she was dodging and avoiding falling icicle's, the next thing she knew she herself was underneath an unusually large one.
OOC: Yesh, I am going to kill her off now x3

Swirlmark nodded as Fearowstrike spoke. "We must find Soulfrost before we go back to Mustangstar though." She looked around the cavern, not spotting the she-cat anywhere. "Soulfrost?" She meowed. "Where are you?"

"Swirlmask!" Soulfrost called hoarsely as she tried to pull herself from under the icicle only to have no success.

Fearowstar limped around the icicles, searching for Soulfrost. Eventually she spotted her, and her eyes widened into huge orbs of sorrow and shock. "SOULFROST!" she screamed, running as fast as her injured paw would allow to the older warrior. "Don't die on us Soulfrost, please don't!" And then she leaned in. "Soulfrost, it is me Fearowstar! Don't die!" she whispered softly, "Proof - I came to you in a dream when you fell asleep before a Gathering. You had to save the ten Clans from the Empties!" Fearowstrike was near tears. "Now its our turn to save you, Soulfrost...you're going to live, and we're going to carry you back to camp, and Dewdrop is going to heal you up, and you'll be good as new, and..."
