Noblestar leaped effortlessly from branch to branch, muscles rippling under his sleek gray and white pelt. His eyes shown turquoise with contentment in the moonlit night, and he kept up his jumps until he reached the top branch. Teetering dangerously on the edge, he blinked down below with a smile. The spirit jungle. But then suddenly something hit him and he fell down, down, down...all the way to the bottom. CRACK! His left hind leg hit the ground full force before the rest of him, snapping. CRACK! The other hind leg broke like a twig, without any time to scream. He then felt himself finally fall into an awkward slump on the ground. His body lay in a crumpled heap, both back legs stretched in the wrong directions. He let out helpless cries of agony, but as the hours went by, they grew weaker and weaker. No one ever suspected a leader would have this happen. And what had hit him? He looked up, shaking his head. Probably a branch. His pelt littered with loose dirt and leaves, he shuddered and fell into a painful sleep. Waiting for a saviour.

OCC: Can i post?
Ivorystorm and firefly ran to noblestar.They tried to push a branch off of him but there was only two of them. Twilight had followed them, knowing something might happen. She helped push the branch off.
Hurricanepelt watched feeling bad she could not help them. Hurricanepelt shook her head mad about all the death she saw.

"Noblestar!" Cinderfrosts urgent yol pierced the earily silent air as she raced over to him, helping Ivorystorm, Firefly, and Twilight push the branches away. Once they had been removed, Cinderfrost crouched beside Noblestar, her blue eyes clouded with sorrow. Her gray dappled pelt rippled beneath trembling muscles. "Noblestar, please talk to us. Please." Turning to the other warriors, she meowed, "Go get Brokenstorm, quick! If you cannot find her, just go to another Clan, I don't care. Find someone who can help!"

OOC: They no warriors, I think they're all loners oh well
Noblestar jerked in his slumber, and his eyes flew open. "Cinderfrost?" he mumbled, "I'm sorry, I've burdened you, and all of BlazeClan. I...I wasn't being careful. I wasn't thinking." He forced the words through his gritted teeth, and grimaced from the pain. He felt like screaming, but he couldn't break down like that, not in front of one of his warriors. He had to be strong...

Cinderfrost gave Noblestar the smallest of nudges on his shoulder, meowing, "You are no burden, so stop saying that. We need you as much as we need DreamClan. Don't worry, you'll be better in no time, trust me." She trailed off into small murmurs while looking over his hind legs, grimacing at the site. Both were grotesquely twisted at awkward angles.

Noblestar closed his eyes, breathing heavily. He didn't reply, just sat there a moment. Eventually he tried to drag himself in the direction of camp, face screwed up in pain. He let out a low cry of agony, then quieted himself, attempting to keep dragging himself. He ended up on his side, panting. "Hopefully you're right about...that," he murmured, "I need a medicine cat."

"Don't worry, I'll get help, just don't move. I promise you will be okay Noblestar, I promise." Cindefrost raised her head and stared out into the surrounding forest, searching for someone to come and help She had no experience as a medicine cat, and thus had no clue as what to do.

Noblestar opened his eyes and met Cinderfrost's gaze unblinkingly. "No, no, I'll be okay. You don't need to get a medicine cat, and I'll be okay if you leave me here alone, just for a moment. Just, get help."
OOC: Can you have Cinderfrost leave, and not time skip back, 'cause like, I want a foxer to attack and like, almost like, kill him, like, yeah. I like, like, saying like. *starts laughing*

Cinderfrost hesitated, not wanting to leaver her leaders side, but consenting a moment later. "Alright, but I'll be back as soon as I can, trust me." She stood, gazing down at her helpless leader a moment, then turned and raced through the forest, searching for a medicine cat anywhere. Even if that means asking another Clan, I'll help him.. She promised.

As if it sensed the utter helplessness of the leader, a fox suddenly emerged from behind a tree. It grinned and lolled out its tongue, panting. Slinking towards Noblestar, it paused right beside him, seeming to mock him. Then it lashed out its paw, slashing long ivory claws across Noblestar's nose. Jumping around behind him, it latched onto the back of his neck, and dragged him back behind a bush. Noblestar growled quietly, and scored his claws down the fox's nose. It yelped in surprise, releasing him for a moment. He rolled over onto his back, pushing the fox away. But the fox only snarled, then sunk long fangs into Noblestar's neck.

"Noblestar?" Cinderfrosts urgent call rang through the forest. Beside her was Nightcloud and Heathersong of MeadowClan. Nightclouds green orbs shined as she scanned the thick foliage. Cindefrost grew worried, meowing. "He was around here somewhere, I know, but I don't understand why I cannot scent him." Heathersong, having grown out of her old attitude as a kit and apprentice, meowed softly, "Don't worry, We'll help you find him. We may be of different Clans, but that does not mean DreamClan forbids us from helping one another." Nightcloud smiled at her younger sisters words and nodded in agreement. Cindefrost murmured her thanks, but was still very anxious for Noblestars health. "Noblestar?" She called out again.

Noblestar heard his name called from somewhere, far away. "Over....here!" he rasped before drifting into unconcsiousness. The fox, thinking he was dead for just a moment, halted in its attack, and leaned back, checking to make sure. But its ears soon picked out his tiny pulse. It seemed to laugh at Noblestar, and then tore into his sides with its sharp claws.

Cindefrosts ears twitched to the left, hearing a faint voice. "Hurry, this way!" She meowed to the other she-cats. They nodded and all threesped off into the forest, silently dodging around shrubs and logs. Heathersong pulled up along side Cindefrost and hissed, "Fox, very close." Cinderfrost could only nod and pressed on harder, bursting forth and colliding with the fox, letting out a small cry of surprise. Heathersong and Nightcloud slid to a stop, seeing the bloody Noblestar before them. Heathersong immediatly went towards the fox, leaving Nightcloud to tend to the injured leader. "Noblestar, I'm Nightcloud from MeadowClan. Don't worry, weare here to help." The black and white she-cat murmured into his ear.

Noblestar's eyes opened half-way, and he groaned in pain. "I haven't even lost a life...does DreamClan want to torture me?" he meowed, half to himself, "Both hind legs broken, neck torn apart, and being helped by another Clan who may one day become my enemies...why can't I lose a life already? Oh well...well, Nightcloud, as long as you don't plan to tell MeadowClan of whats happening today, your help is appreciated greatly." He blinked, opening his eyes all the way. He struggled with wasted effort to turn over, so he could reduce his vulnerability.q

Nightcloud gently laid a paw on Noblestars shoulder. "Stay put. Cindefrost and Heathersong are fighting back the fox, and if another comes I'll protect you, don't worry." Silently, Nightcloud glanced around and caught sight of a cobweb, sprinkled with dew, latched btween two tree trunks. She quickly wrapped it around one paw and placed it gently on Noblestar's neck wound to stop the bleeding. All she needed now was some way of straightening his legs so they could heal properly.
Cindefrost dragged herself away from the fox and stood beside Heathersong, snarling in a prompt to let the fox now it would be flayed if it came any closer. Heathersong stood beside her, occasionaly glancing back at Nightcloud and Noblestar.
