Jackalpaw and Duskpaw stood there, watching the battling cats. Then Jackalpaw had an idea. A grin spread across his face as he crept over to Stormpaw. Without warning, he jumped on top of the other apprentice and dug his claws into his back.
Fawnstar hissed in frustration as he tried to get away from Ravenfrost. The warrior had gotten a good grip on him when he first attacked, and Fawnstar couldn't get away. He swung his paw toward Ravenfrost's neck, and dug his claws into him.

Ravenfrost yowled out, and pushed away from Fawnstar, getting his bearing back.
Stormpaw shrieked and fell under the older apprentices weight. He writhed beneath Jackalpaw, trying furiously to get away. Then, something else hit him. He rolled over, pinning Jackalpaw on the ground, then rolled again, leaving the other apprentice flat on his back upon the sand. Stormpaw snarled and lept towards Jackalpaw, but landed right in front of him, swerving to the side and attacking Duskpaw unexpectedly.

Duskpaw yowled at Stormpaw and jumped right on him, pinning him to the ground. Jackalpaw jumped to his paws and ran over. "He's a pretty good fighter for being so small." He hissed. "But when we're done with him, he won't be able to fight very well anymore." Then Jackalpaw scratched Stormpaw's side with his sharp claws.
Fawnstar gasped for breath for a few seconds before looking over at the apprentices. He saw that the Duneclan cats were ganging up on Stormpaw. He rushed over to help him, sending Jackalpaw flying with a powerful hit. Then he turned back around to face Ravenfrost.

Stormpaw smiled sheepishly at Fawnstar, thankful. He rounded on Duskpaw, since Jackalpaw was out of the way. He lunged with his fangs, then pulled back and lashed uot with his claws, giong forwards step by step.
Ravenfrost watched as Jackalpaw was flung away. He looked over at Fawnstar, his yellow eyes gleaming coldly. "You still owe Thistlestar a life." He hissed, lunging again, this time for Fawnstar's throat.

Jackalpaw lay where he landed, a few foxlengths from the fighting apprentices. Duskpaw took one look at him, then turned back to Stormpaw. She lunged at him, claws outstretched.
Fawnstar tried to move out of the way, but he was losing energy quickly. When Ravenfrost's teeth connected with his throat, he knew it was over. Ravenfrost was going to get his revenge. He thrashed around, trying one last time to get free.

Ravenfrost gripped harder as Fawnstar began to thrash. He planted his feet firmly on the ground as the FernClan leader grew weaker and weaker...
Stormpaw hissed at Duskpaw and dove forwards, silding beneath her paws, then pushed upwards, slamming his arched back into Duskpaw's belly.

Fawnstar could feel everything slipping away. His vision went black. He was losing his first life. A tremor went through his body.
Duskpaw flew into the air, then came crashing down a tail length from Stormpaw. She stood up slowly, dazed. Then she ran at Stormpaw and jumped at his again. This time, she landed on his back and dug her claws in.

Stormpaw growled and rolled to the side, Duskpaw latched on his back. He stumbled over and slammed her against a nearby tree on the FernClan side of the border, his paws scrabbling on the gruond as he pushed harder.
Ravenfrost dropped Fawnstar onto the ground, then turned, padding over and grabbing Stormpaw by the scruff. He casually lifted the apprentice off the ground, then tossed him into the ferns on FernClan's side. The apprentice didn't reappear. He then went to Jackalpaw's side, and lifted the apprentice onto his back, beckoning with his tail for Duskpaw to follow. "We finished what we came to do, now we can go back to camp." Ravenfrost meowed.

Fawnstar's green eyes snapped open and he slowly pulled himself to his paws. He glared at Ravenfrost's retreating figure. "I will get you back for that. So watch yourself. I have many lives to spare, but you don't." He hissed. "Oh and next time, let your leader get revenge himself instead of coming out to do it for him." As he said this, he padded closer to Ravenfrost on unsteady legs. When he was right in front of him, he brought his unsheathed claws down the warrior's face. Then he stood there and sneered, waiting to see what Ravenfrost would do.

Ravenfrost backed up slightly, hissing. He raised a paw and swiped it across Fawnstar's face, growling, "My leader can do things for himself, but I wanted to personally do this." He then turned and padded deeper into DuneClan territory, him and the apprentices disappearing over the ridge.

Jackalpaw padded after Ravenfrost, still a little unsteady. Duskpaw looked back at Fawnstar and glared at him, befors turning to Ravenfrost. "Are you going to tell Thistlestar what we did?" She asked.
Fawnstar stood there and watched the Duneclan cats walk away. Then he turned around and walked over to the spot where Ravenfrost had tossed Stormpaw. "Stormpaw!" He called. "Are you okay?"

The apprentice rasped, his flanks heaving. Then he lept up at Fawnstar, paws outstretched, but claws sheathed. "Fawnstar, you're alright!" He meowed, jumping around his leader, hardly having been phased by his momentary flight.
Ravenfrost looked down at Duskpaw, smiling grimly. "That, I am unsure of. While he will be most upset that we attacked another Clan patrol, mabye it will please him to know that we took one of Fawnstar's lives for him."

Fawnstar chuckled as he looked down at Stormpaw. "Yes, I am." He meowed. "You did a pretty good job fighting. If Ravenfrost hadn't ended that fight, you might of won. And that apprentice looked like she has been training a lot longer than you."
"I think we should tell him." Duskpaw meowed. "If not, Fawnstar might say something to him at the gathering, then he will be mad at us for not telling him right after it happened. Plus, he will probably be glad that you got revenge for his lost life."

Ravenfrost smiled down at Duskpaw. "You are wise beyond your age." He purred, nodding. "Alright, we'll tell him as soon as we get back, but first we should hunt to bring back some fresh-kill." Stormpaw smiled at Fawnstar, his gray and black tail shot straight up. "Did you see me though? I had Duskpaw no problem. If only Ravenfrost didn't interfere." He growled.

Duskpaw purred at Ravenfrost's praise. "Okay." She meowed. "I bet I can catch the most!" She meowed. Jackalpaw's eyes lit up. "No you won't!" He meowed, "I will!" Then the two apprentices dashed off in search of prey.
"Yes, you were great." Fawnstar meowed. "I'll have to tell your mentor how good you are doing. With some more training, you will be unbeatable. Maybe one day you could even become leader."
