Jackalpaw padded through the scorpion burrows, enjoying the heat of the sun warming his brown fur. His green eyes looked at the scorpions all over the sand covered desert. Despite the large amount of prey right in front of him, he continued walking. Pretty soon the heat became unbearable, and the pads of his paws burned every time they hit the sand. All of a sudden Jackalpaw heard a noise. His ears pricked up and he stood completely still. He opened his mouth to see who it was. He relaxed immediately. He recognized the scent.

Ravenfrost sat nearby, though he made not a move towards Jackalpaw, not even knowing the apprentice was there. His eyes were closed and his shoulders hunched forwards. He continually muttered something incoherent, but to one who listened closely, you could tell the black warrior was muttering, "Fawnstar will pay."

Jackalpaw turned his brown gaze toward Ravenfrost, and ran over to the warrior. "Hello Ravenfrost." He meowed. "What are you doing?" The apprentice sat down and wrapped his long, brown tail around his paws, waiting for an answer.

Ravenfrost looked over his shoulder at Jackalpaw, smiling. "Jackalpaw." He purred. "I'm just going over my thoughts, what are you doing?"

The apprentice shrugged. "I was just wandering around." He replied. "Then I was going to hunt on my way back to camp." His brown eyes looked at Ravenfrost, sensing there was something the warrior wasn't telling him. "Are you okay?" Jackalpaw asked. "You seem kind of... distant. And what were you saying before I came up? I heard you mumbling, but I couldn't make out the words." Then all of a sudden he stopped talking. He heard someone else coming toward them. He turned his head to see it was another Duneclan apprentice, Duskpaw.
Duskpaw had seen Jackalpaw and Ravenfrost in the distance, and wondered what they were doing. So she started to walk toward them. When she was pretty close, she saw Jackalpaw look her way. "Hello." She meowed as she came even closer. She stood next to Jackalpaw, the tip of her tail twitching.

Ravenfrost shook his head, then nodded in greeting to Duskpaw. "What I was saying should have nothing to concern you with. Its only between me and Thistlestar." He murmured.

Jackalpaw and Duskpaw exchanged puzzled looks, then they both turned their gazes back to Ravenfrost. "You can tell us." Jackalpaw meowed, his eyes gleaming. "We won't tell anyone else."

"Thistlestar has lost a life." Ravenfrost meowed bluntly. "And it was lost to Fawnstar, who attacked him on the border with FernClan. Thats when he sent us away from the border." He growled, eyes distant and steely cold.

Both apprentices gasped. "Thistlestar lost a life that day?" Duskpaw meowed, amazed. "Wow." Jackalpaw's eyes turned darker and he hissed in anger. "Why don't we go get revenge?" He asked.

"Thats all I want. Fawnstar took advantage of Thistlestar. You have no idea how that angers me." Ravenfrost growled, standing. "I'm going to the border to pay a certain FernClan cat a visit." He hissed, padding past Duskpaw and Jackalpaw.

"Wait!" Jackalpaw called, jumping to his paws and taking a few steps after Ravenfrost. "Can we help?" Both him and Duskpaw looked at Ravenfrost, hoping his answer was yes.
OOC: now I have writers block...

Ravenfrost kept padding on, not looking back. "If you wish, but do not tell a soul of what we are about to do." He meowed over his shoulder, heading closer to the FernClan borders.

Jackalpaw and Duskpaw ran after Ravenfrost, matching each other stride for stride. "I can't wait to get revenge on Fawnstar!" Jackalpaw meowed happily. "We'll show him not to mess with Duneclan!" Duskpaw said nothing, but just nodded in agreement.

Ravenfrost only grunted in agreement as they neared the border. He slid down the same mound of sand to the border and stared across it, his claws unsheathing as he searched for signs of a patrol.

Jackalpaw and Duskpaw slid down the mound of sand behind Ravenfrost. Neither said a word. They just crouched a few mouse lengths behind Ravenfrost, waiting for something to happen.
Fawnstar was patrolling the Duneclan border alone. He knew it wasn't the smartest thing to do, since he had recently fought with Thistlestar, but he kept going.
