Sharp scent

[twia]

Pebbledpaw was out hunting when it hit her. It was a sharp, pudgent smell. Rouge or Loner perhaps? She parted her jaws and the scent hit her glands, helping her verify who's scent it was and where it was coming from. 'Definately not a clan cat'. She knew for sure.

She followed the scent trail, her eyes narrowed with determination. She would find this cat and persue them. She unsheathed her claws, and kept her ears pricked just in case.

The scent took an unsuspecting turn... it was now behind her! She felt her throat tighten in fear, as she whrilled around. But it was too late, the cat was already in mid-air and was about to crash down on Pebbledpaw.

Pebbledpaw felt the weight of the cat crash down on her, her lungs screamed for air. 'Is this it'? She thought, as she clawed blindly at her attacker.

'Fight!' She could hear a voice in the back of her head telling her to fight. Fight back. She peeled her lips back into a dangerous snarl. She kicked her back legs with all her might.

The attacker was dislodged, and Pebbledpaw scrambled up. She hissed in defiance, "This is Mysticclan turf!" She yowled menacingly.

The tom cat's eyes glittered rage. "Not anymore!" He hissed crossly, and circled the young apprentice. "So what's a pretty cat like you, doing here? Defending a worthless piece of land?"

"If it's so worthless why are you here?" Pebbledpaw countered.

"Isn't it obvious? I want you." He mewed darkly and lundged for her once more.

That's when it sunk in. He wanted Pebbledpaw's body. For the moment, she cursed herself for having gorgeous features. She had to fight or she would be taken advantage of.

She let out a yowl of fury, "Get away you filth!"

"I always like a she-cat with a little spice." He taunted and began to circle her once more.

Pebbledpaw crouched down low, and sprung. The two cats were locked in battle. Each spitting and yowling.... (Anyone who has a cat(s) who could help her out!)

[~Stormy~]

Blueflower snarled and leapt, knocking over the tom. "Want a she cat with spice? Go find one in your own place! What a pitiful rogue, to want a mate outside rogues," She growled, unsheathed her claws into his shoulder and growled angirily, keeping ehr face and belly away from his attacking reach.

[Burn]

Burningheart was near by and heard the trouble, she raced over her eyes wide with fear. Burningheart raced up to the odd cat and scratched his underbelly with her sharp claws. "Why are you here?" She growled.

[twia]

The tom yowled in frustration, he hadn't detected another clan cat. He cursed himself for being so stupid, he lundged at Blueflower. Aiming for her flank.

Pebbledpaw was only slightly winded but she wanted to give this tom a piece of her mind, "Your crow food." She spat, and leapt onto the rouge. Her claws pierced his flesh, she twisted her claws then ripped them out.

The tom yowled in agony.

[~Stormy~]

Blueflower waited as he leapt at her side. When he was close enough she batted him in the side of the face to the ground, where she put the other paw hard on his neck, where she bit into his shoulder, and tore away.

[Burn]

Burningheart helped and dug her claws into his flank. Her eyes were gleaming with fear and a battle hungry look. Her pupils were mere slits and her fur was bristling.

[twia]

The tom hissed, and staggered up. His eyes glittered with pure hatred, "Your both going to be mine..." He whispered darkly, then darted off back to his own 'kind'.

Pebbledpaw watched him go, her eyes narrowed into tiny slits. She was bleeding heavily from her flank, and she was winded. But otherwise she'd be fine. The tom hadn't done much damaged, just caused alot of comotion.

[~Stormy~]

(Who both?) BlueFlower watched him go, and somehow laughed. "I didn't think that move would work," She meowed. "We'll keep an eye out for him.

[Burn]

Burningheart nodded then sighed "I was not at all expecting that... we better report it" Burningheart exclamed. She was wondering what he ment by i'll have u both...

[_)Misty-ith(_]

A small brown tom came to the entrance of the medicne cat's den. His eyes widened as he looked at the injuried cats. Turning back into the den, he scrabbled to grab the right herbs, yowled "DESTINYWINDS!" then darted back to Pebbledpaw, BlueFlower, and BurningHeart. "BurningHeart! You should be back in the nursery! Here, let me patch you up then get straight back there!" MudPaw worked quickly, chewing marigold to spread over her wounds, then patching it with cobwebs. He turned to PebbledPaw next. Mudpaw...hadn't been the same since WilyPaw had left for the Fifth Clan. He justed hadn't had his soft, kind generous nature. He'd been more silent and wilted.

RiddlePaw was drawn from the FireSeers den by the fight. He seated himself beside PebbledPaw, saying nothing, becuase his large yellow eyes already said it all. 'Are you alright?' They said. 'Who was he?' Then RiddlePaw turned back to watch his brother work.

[twia]

Pebbledpaw flicked pulled away from Mudpaw's grasp, "Work on the others first, I'll be fine until then." She mewed quietly, but there was a sharpness to her voice. She took a couple steps back to give Blueflower and Burningheart more room.

She felt Riddlepaw's eyes burning into her own eyes; her fur began to prickle. She turned to face him, her own eyes burning right back into Riddlepaw's. She studied them for a moment then replied, "Of course I'm okay, don't I look okay?" Her tone was edgy, "And how would I know who he was? I haven't been attacked like that before." Her tail lashed to one side, she could feel her anger bubbling inside of her.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. 'Calm down. He's only trying to help.' She told herself. Her fur laid flat once more, and her temper slowly began to decrease.

[~Stormy~]

BlueFlower shook her head. "BurningHeart first, then PebbledPaw, me last." She meowed. She sat to watch them work.

[_)Misty-ith(_]

MudPaw rolled his eyes. "Look, all of you need treated and we're not going to stand here all day while you arhue amognst yourselves!" he barked angirly, but suddenly stopped and blinked. He had nevered yelled at anyone before. "Now PebbledPaw, hold still." he meowed softly this time. He sniffed her wounds carefully and applied marigold on the worst, but just patched most with cobwebs. "You'll be fine." MudPaw muttered. "Just don't agitate your flank for a while and it'll heal fine."

RiddlePaw blinked and looked int he direction the rogue tom came. He stood up and padded a few steps, then stopped, his ears pricked.

[twia]

"Thanks," Pebbledpaw mewed curtly, then limped over to Riddlepaw. Her fur rubbed up gently against Riddlepaw's, but she remained quiet, and still. She opened her mouth slightly, the rouges scent hit the top of her mouth. "Alley Rouge." She mewed quietly. Her eyes looking directly ahead.

[_)Misty-ith(_]

RiddlePaw nodded slowly. He could remember that scent from his earliest kit days, when he was merely an abandoned Cavern Rogue. Everyone there knew the scent of their 'enemies' the Alley Rogues. The FireSeer blinked once and glanced back at his brother who was busily working on BlueFlower.

[~*Demon*~]

DestinyWinds nodded at her apprentices work"Very good." she said dryly, she knew MudPaw missed his brother, but she thought there was a she-cat eh missed as well, all the better she was gone then, so he couldn't make the mistake her mentor did.

[_)Misty-ith(_]

MudPaw nodded to his mentor, but it didn't feel the same. Nothing was the same anymore. Oh and how he wished WilyPaw was back, with his rude, sarcasticness and FairyPaw with her kind, gentle nature. But at least he'd get to see them at Gatherings....
