Noblestar opened his eyes, staring at Emberfrost. "Who...?" Then she told him. "Oh, no," he mumbled, "What happened? Whats it?" Suddenly his eyes flashed knowingly, despite his sleepiness. "Was it that fox?"
Yarrowleaf's voice sounded on the wind to Emberfrost and only Emberfrost. "You must hurry and find my body," she mewed, "The fox is probably about to eat it."

Emberfrost's ears swiveled towards the voice. "Yes it was the fox." She meowed, already trying to run towards the body. "I have to get to her body before the fox eats it." Streamsong. moved in front on Emberfrost, stopping her from leaving. "You will do no such thing. Stay here with Noblestar. Luarstorm and me will deal with the fox." With that, the medicine cat nodded to the young warrior and they went running in the direction Emberfrost had been going. They're going Yarrowleaf... She thought.
After a few moments, the two she-cats reached Yarrowleaf's body. The fox was standing over it, preparing to take a bite out of her neck. "No!" Lunarstorm yowled, lunging at the fox. It quickly moved out of the way, and turned to face the two cats.

Noblestar looked the way they vanished, sighing. "If you were to...die," he whispered to his former mentor, "I would have...well lets just say, you were sorta like a mother to me Emberfrost." He blinked, then closed his eyes.
The fox growled at them, leaping forward to the two she-cats. It knocked them out of the way, then stood over Yarrowleaf's lifeless body, protecting its kill. Snarling savagely, it lowered itself down, so the cats couldn't get Yarrowleaf away from it, or so it thought.

"I know. Yarrowleaf just told me in Dreamclan." Emberfrost meowed. "And you are like a son to me. My real son lives in Ashclan, so it's nice to have someone else that is always here for me."
Streamsong looked at Lunarstorm out of the corner of her eye. "I'll distract the fox while you get the body." She instructed. Then, without warning, the Beachclan cat lunged at the fox, ripping savagely at its body with her sharp claws. Even though she was a medicine cat, she was still a good fighter. The fox barked with anger and threw Streamsong away. The she-cat hit the ground with a sickening thud. She had hit the ground so hard that it knocked the breath out of her. Seeing another easy target, the fox ran over to Streamsong. While the fox was distracted, Lunarstorm ran over to the body and picked up Yarrowleaf by the scruff. She dragged the body in the direction of camp, which was also in the same direction as Emberfrost and Noblestar.

A blur a white came flashing out of the bushes and attacked the fox. Whitecloud unsheathed his laws and raked them against the foxe's eyes. The fox started whimpering, but it was determined to fight. Whitecloud jumped again, distracting the fox so Streamsong could get away.

The fox's eyes followed Whitecloud, then it propelled itself to his figure in midair. They collided and it landed with Whitecloud pinned underneath it. It grinned sheepishly, or so it seemed. Then it dove forward, lean muscles rippling elegantly, teeth bared for the kill.
Noblestar finally grew impatient. He got up and flat out ran, or at least limped as fast as he could, and ignored his pain. He passed Lunarstorm, so he turned around and backtracked. "Lunarstorm...I love you," he told her, murmuring it very softly, in case he didn't return from this battle and by some miracle the fox took all his 8 lives in one fight. He rocketed off, charging into combat screaming an angry yowl. He then flew towards the fox, knocking it off of Whitecloud with a nasty snarl. It growled back in return, then pushed up and flipped him over, pinning HIM. He blinked, and then started to struggle furiously. It did the same thing it had done to Yarrowleaf to kill him, but he died hard. He didn't stop struggling, and tore away from the fox, which took part of a layer of fur and a thin piece of flesh with it. He acted as if there was no pain, but it was about to overpower him. Looking up he saw the newest star twinkling, as if urging him to try his best. He suddenly felt something cold hit him, then something else, then rain started to pour on his pelt. He glanced at the fox, then narrowed his eyes. He was going to win, he was going to beat this animal.
Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me..
Noblestar darted back behind the fox, fast and agile for the fact he had a broken leg and a healing one. He watched the fox start to turn to look, then dashed around to the front, then back and charged. He knocked the fox down to the ground, and slid off, winded for the moment.
And other times I feel like I should go...
He eyed the bushes where beyond, Lunarstorm and Emberfrost were waiting. But no, he couldn't sacrifice Whitecloud like that. Turning back to the fox, he grunted in rage and lashed out with shining gray claws that stung the fox's face, etching long scars into its muzzle.
Went through it all, the rise and fall!
Before one could blink the fox was atop him, but Noblestar rolled out from under it, and it fell forward. While it regained stamina he jumped and latched on to the back of its neck, sinking his teeth deeper and deeper, planning to kill it once and for all.
The bodies in the streets!
The fox reared back and he went soaring through the air, landing with a thud. It was a good thing they were in an open field, or he would be in much worse condition, probably hitting a tree or something.
And when you're gone we want you all to know...
He slipped away, losing a life, finally after all he'd endured. Meanwhile the fox's pelt was completely crimson with blood - every inch of it. Most of it its own blood, some of it the cats it had attacked. It swayed, dizzy. Then collapsed at Streamsong's paws, dead from loss of blood.

Streamsong looked down at the dead fox, then up at Noblestar. Keeping calm she yowled to the others. "Emberfrost, Lunarstorm! You can come out now! Whitecloud and Noblestar killed the fox." A few seconds later, Lunarstorm came dashing over, moving so fast that her body was just a blur. She was at Noblestar's side in an instant. "Great Starclan, are you okay? Well, obviously you're not okay, but Streamsong," She meowed, looking at the Beachclan she-cat, "will he be fine?"
Streamsong smiled at the young she cat and meowed, "Of course he'll be fine. He will just need to rest a lot. Running and fighting with his legs that bad really didn't help." Then Emberfrost emerged from among the Blaze Plants, dragging Yarrowleaf's body. She set it down and approached the others. "Good job fighting." She meowed to her former apprentice. Then she turned to Whitecloud. "You did well too."

Noblestar's eyes were already open by the time Emberfrost arrived, and he smiled slightly. "Thanks, Emberfrost." His body tensed as he struggled to his paws, and then his gaze flickered to Lunarstorm. His eyes met Lunarstorm's, now a deep shade of green, indicating contentment, but also a tinge of yellow flashed in them from time to time, revealing his true pain. But being there, with Lunarstorm, and having saved Emberfrost's life, despite losing Crimsoneyes' and Yarrowleaf's, and despite the pain...Lunarstorm seemed to make it all better when she was around. He stumbled towards her, then leaned up against her unintentionally when he almost fell down from exghaustion. "Sorry," he apoligized hastily, pulling himself away from her momentarily.

"It's okay." Lunarstorm purred, moving closer to Noblestar. She pressed her creamy brown body up against his, trying to help support him so he could keep weight off of his hurt legs. She licked his cheek, trying to help him relax. She knew he was tired.
Emberfrost looked at the two and smiled before turning to Streamsong. "Thanks for your help. It is probably time for you to return to your own clan. They are lucky to have such a good medicine cat." At this compliment, Streamsong dipped her head in thanks. Then without a word, the Beachclan she-cat turned and ran towards the border.
When Streamsong was out of site, Emberfrost turned to Noblestar and Lunarstorm. "We should go back to camp soon too." She meowed. "We need to get Yarrowleaf's and Crimsoneyes' bodies back to camp." The she-cat turned to grab Crimsoneyes' body and started to drag it towards camp, not bothering to wait for the others.

Noblestar looked at Lunarstorm. "Lunarstorm...could you erm...pick up Yarrowleaf? Sorry to pit this much work on you but I'm not in good enough shape," he murmured, quietly as he always was around Lunarstorm. He turned to face Emberfrost's departing figure and limped after it as fast as he could go without hurting it. "Wait up!"

"I'll help." Whitecloud offered, and padded after Lunarstorm.
OOC: Haha, dun't worry. Whitecloud only likes Cloverstem, his mate. =]

OOC: Haha... nice
BIC: Lunarstorm nodded, knowing that Noblestar was right; he was in no shape to help. "Thanks for your help." She meowed to Whitecloud before bending down and picking up Yarrowleaf by her scruff.
Emberfrost paused and set Crimsoneyes down. She turned to wait for Noblestar, who had called out to her. Seeing her former apprentice in such bad shape made her upset.

Whitecloud bent down, and scooped Yarrowleaf onto his back. "I'll take her." He told Lunarstorm gently, but he made it, so it would be her choice.

"Thanks again." Lunarstorm meowed as she looked at Whitecloud. Then she turned and began to walk back to camp. All of a sudden, a calico with green eyes stepped out of the Blazeplants in front of her. "Hello Cloverstem." Lunarstorm meowed. Then because she knew her friend like Whitecloud she added, "He's back there." Cloverstem nodded in thanks then padded in the direction Lunarstorm indicated.

Whitecloud came padding into view a couple a moments later. His eyes sparkled when he saw Cloverstem. "Hey Cloverstem." He mewed. He suddenly forgot how scratched and torn he was.
