Fawnstar noticed the other leader was trembling slightly. Being the arrogant cat he is, Fawnstar grinned and just sat there. He said nothing, but continued to glare at Thistlestar. Fawnstar, like Thistlestar, was a new and young leader. He was hoping to prove himself with this fight. That is, if a fight ever began.

Dragonheart watched from the shadows of the ferns as niether Thistlestar nor Fawnstar made a move. He grinned and stealthily crept towards Thistlstar, planning to make this fight happen. He purposefully snapped a twig between his jaws...
Thistlestar waited as calmly as he could get while niether of them attacked. He easily had the fight won when his warriors were here, but in his rash moment had sent the away. Was that the right choice? Suddenly, a twig snapped nearby. Thistlestar, being uneasy already, jumped, wincing as he realized even a blind badger could see how a twig scared him. Opening his eyes, he looked down and saw that both of his front paws were across the border...

Fawnstar quickly jumped to his paws, glaring at Thistlestar. He looked back at Dragonheart, before turning his gaze back to Thistlestar. He knew the Duneclan leader hadn't tried to come across the border, but this gave him an excuse to fight. He lunged at Thistlestar, claws unsheathed. He raised a paw in the air, and brought it down across Thistlestar's face.

Thistlestar yowled in surprise and pain as Fawnstar's claw scored across his face, he fell backwards, Fawnstar with him, as he struck out with his hind paws in a vain attempt to get away from Fawnstar. Lashing out, he plunged his fangs into Fawnstar's shoulder, shaking violently to try and dislodge the opponent.
Dragonheart smiled from the shadows and turned, running back towards the FernClan camp. His leader would shurly win.

Fawnstar yowled in pain as Thistlestar's sharp teeth dug into his flesh. Blood was already beginning to flow out of the wound. He dug his claws into Thistlestar's face, hissing in anger. His green eyes were narrowed to slits as he thought of his next move.

Thistlestar cried out in agony as Fawnstar's claws dug into his face. He closed his eyes, trying to keep te blood from coming into them, but already he was blinded from his own blood. Rolling over, he locked claws with Fawnstar and lunged again with his teeth, barely missing. He was pinned to the ground, unable to fight back, unable to see.

Fawnstar grinned, thinking he had the battle won. He pulled his claws away from Thistlestar's face, and brought them crashing down into Thistlestar's chest. Blood was still flowing from the wound on his shoulder. It was a deep wound, and hurt a lot, but he tried to ignore the pain.
Then a thought crossed his mind. Why am I doing this? He thought. There was no reason to start this fight. His grip on Thistlestar loosened as he fought a new battle. A battle inside his head. If he stopped fighting now, he would look like a coward. But on the other hand, this fight was pointless. Fernclan would gain nothing from it. He shook his head, trying to decide what to do.

Thistlestar cried out in anguish as Fawnstar tore into his chest. He shook, trying to free himself, but every move made him weaker. He soon was panting heavily, eyes closed and blood oozing down his face and chest, pooling on the ground beneath him.

Fawnstar released Thistlestar. He stood there, staring at him while gasping for breath. As he watched his enemy, his glare turned to a look of sympathy. "Thistlestar?" He whispered. "Are you going to be okay? I'm so sorry. I- I never meant for you to get hurt so bad..." Fawnstar looked down at his brown paws, embarrassed.

Thistlestar tried to rasp his reply, but instead broke into a coughing fit and curled into a ball, trembling from whiskers to tail-tip. He shook his head weakly to try and see, but the blood still came. He pushed with his hind legs weakly further onto his own side of the border, stopping on the warm sand, which turned burgandy from the blood of his wounds. He raised his head towards where Fawnstar stood, rasping, "I never.......wanted.............to fight........." He took a shuddering breath. "Thats why..................I............sent my..............warriors away..."

Fawnstar just looked at the Duneclan leader, his body bleeding from so many places. "I- I wanted to fight to prove that I was a good leader." He closed his eyes for a second. "But this fight just did the exact opposite. A good leader is kind and forgiving. I was... I was too arrogant to let your warrior go without confronting him." He opened his eyes, and fixed his gaze again on the Duneclan leader. "Are you going to lose a life, or will you recover? Because if you are well enough to move, I will help you back to your camp if you wish."

"Lay one paw on my leader and I'll take five of your lives!" Spat Ravenfrost as he came over the ridge, sliding down to Thistlestar's side. "Call yourself a leader." He hissed, glaring at Fawnstar. "Just go, I can take care of him myself." Ravenfrost snarled, nudging Thistlestar, who had grown un-naturally still. His eyes widened and he again nudged Thistlestar with his nose, receiving no response. Looking up at Fawnstar, his eyes clouded over, Ravenfrost hissed, "You took one of his lives to prove your worth."

Fawnstar looked at Ravenfrost, his normally bright eyes dark. "Ravenfrost. I'm sorry. I know what I did was wrong, and I hope you can forgive me for it. You probably won't, but then again you really have no reason to." He meowed, looking down at his paws. His voice was unnaturally quiet because he realized how evil he must seem to the Dunclan cats.

Ravenfrost shook his head, quivering with anger and sorrow. "You have no idea..." The black and silver warrior trailed off as Thistlestar gasped for breath, his eyes snapping open. He shook his head to clear away the blood then look up at Ravenfrost, confused. "I thought you went back." He meowed, sitting upright, wincing from the chest wound as he looked at Fawnstar, amber eyes sparking with anger, but behind that a hint of being afraid.

Fawnstar dipped his head in respect to the Duneclan leader. "I'm glad you are well enough to move." He meowed, no sarcasm in his voice. He looked back and forth between Thistlestar and Ravenfrost. "I really am sorry. If there's anything I can do to pay you back for what I just did, just let me know." He let his eyes rest on Ravenfrost. I will have to watch him. He seems more hostile than Thistlestar.
