Wet Paws (TC to SC border, DAWN patrol)

[R*E*A*P*E*R]

The small white and brown tabby weaved his way through the thick undergrowth. He was an expert at this, having grown up within Thunder Clan his entire life. He could see the dawn beginning to streak the morning sky. His brown and white pelt blended in well with the fall undergrowth. He loved fall the best because of this, it was the best time for him to hunt and hide. He struck for his destination, the Shadow Clan border. The sickly sweet scent struck his nostril's harshly. How he hated the smell! He turned back to his leader and Foxheart and meowed so that they would barely be able to hear, "All seems calm, for now. Still Shadow Clan are a fox hearted bunch...erm, no offense Foxheart, and they would do anything for a scrap of prey. If you ask me."

Foxheart

The reddish-ginger tom loved this time of season as well. It was the only time of year that you might actually mistake him for something other than a cat. His bright red fur was easily seen in the buds of new-leaf, and the snow of leaf-bare. Foxheart gave a slight scowl at the mention of the fox-hearted, but quickly forgot about it.

Dawn was just beginning as they touched the border. The scent was slightly faint, so Foxheart left a little something to make sure the scent stayed strong. Looking over the border, Foxheart wondered what ShadowClan was doing this very minute.

Smallstar

~I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear~

Smallstar's tiny body quickly weaved through the undergrowth that covered ThunderClan territory. This season was actually her second favorite, for she liked green-leaf the best. As that was the nicest time of year for catching prey, though this would have to be the pretties season. Finally Smallstar made it to the border, she had been at the back of the patrol, listening and scenting the air. Eaglefur was right, nothing seemed horrible wrong."I agree it seems pretty calm right here." She meowed, her bell like voice low and hardly loud enough to be heard.

~And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away~

[R*E*A*P*E*R]

[glow=brown,2,300]Eagle[/glow][glow=beige,2,300]fur[/glow]

The young tom dipped his head in answer then stiffened, his neck fur began to bristle. The unmistakebly fresh scent of ShadowClan washed upon him. He knew his leader and Foxheart would be able to smell it perfectly. After all, they were ThunderClan. Still he muttered low, "Incoming..."

The silver tom slipped through his home territory. The faint meows of the enemy Clan met his ear and he flickered his blue gaze to his partners, two warriors he had brought from his camp. He felt the she-cat closest to him stiffen her body, but his mind was already working. "Calm yourself Feathersong, I believe it is merely a dawn patrol." His next words came out in a mrrow of laughter, "Much like the one you are attending dear sister."

[glow=gold,2,300]Feather[/glow][glow=silver,2,300]song[/glow]

Feathersong followed her leader and brother through the shaded forest of Shadow Clan. She loved the smell of crushed pine needles, it was so soothing to her. When she smelled the ThunderClan patrol she banished all thoughts of how nice this day was. Her brother muttered his calmings to her and she snorted in anger, "Just because your the leader you go and act all high and mighty..." She muttered, but she couldn't hide the teasing affection in her tone. She watched as Reaperstar's blue eyes met hers, twinkling with amusement. Then he meowed in a loud voice as, probably to the Thunder Clan cats, appeared from nowhere.

"Greetings! On a patrol I see." His voice was courteous and kind, but he marked his territory in a way that was obvious he was watching the cat's carefully.

[~Moonflower~]

Foxheart

Foxheart turned his glare to the incoming ShadowClanners. He bit back a retort. With Smallstar on patrol, he would have to be on his best behaviour. Stupid, no-good, lazy ShadowClanners! Here the ShadowClan leader was, pretending like they were the best of friends. How could he forget the obvious? They were from different clans, and they were currently guarding their borders. Even one move to go over the border, and I'll slit their throat. Feathersong, one of the ShadowClan cats, seemed to be thinking the same thing. Foxheart let out a small hiss, barely noticing if his leader saw him or not.

[{{♠Dahlia✈}}]

Smallstar

~Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me~

Smallstar did indeed hear Foxheart's hiss, and she quickly rested her tail on his shoulder. Though she understood his feelings, she also realized that so far nothing had happened to make them completely hostile. Though she was happy to know he was so loyal to ThunderClan. "Greetings Reaperstar," She meowed quietly. Unlike Reaperstar's her voice held that of business, no friendliness. The tortoiseshell she-cat removed her tail from Foxheart's shoulder, sure now that he wouldn't really jump the gun or anything. The she-cat was on guard though, watching the other cats just as carefully as he was watching them. Her beautiful blue eyes were narrowed, carefully watching every movement of each cat across the border.

~Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end~

Frostedfate
>>Giving in, falling down...

Frostedfate's green eyes narrowed in hatred as she watched the Thunder Clan cat's from her side of the border. She was at her leader's shoulder. He had done nothing but be courteous and that stupid tom had hissed at him, a low warning growl came from her throat and her claws slid from her paws. She would not tolerate any cat treating her leader with such disrespect. She turned her lime gaze on her leader, begging and pleading with him to let her leap over and turn that ginger lump of fur into a heap of rubbish.

>>Hold my hand, don't let me drown

[R*E*A*P*E*R]

[glow=gold,2,300]Feather[/glow][glow=silver,2,300]song[/glow]

Feahersong felt her entire body tense up as well, was this ginger tom going to start a fight. When she heard Frostedfate's snarl she felt her pelt prick with dread, "Frostedfate..." She meowed low.

[glow=navy,2,300]Reaper[/glow][glow=lightblue,2,300]star[/glow]

Reaperstar took a step back and bent down low and close to Frostedfate, "Behave yourself Frostedfate. They have not started anything, don't you do the same on our side. Let's avoid any bloodshed." He turned his crystalline blue eyes to Smallstar. He knew that she was a new leader, much like he himself. For he had become leader only two moons ago. An alliance with Thunder Clan could be good for both of them, and he may need it to gain any territory he could from River Clan. He looked at Smallstar, pondering his strategy. He would have to find a way to build friendships between their clans, but now did not seem the time.

[glow=brown,2,300] Eagle[/glow][glow=beige,2,300]fur[/glow]

Eaglefur snarled but didn't make a sound when the gray and white she-cat growled. Still his claws slid out and dug deep into the turf and his body became tense. He had to hold back laughter as the warriors leader reprieved her.

[~Moonflower~]

Foxheart

As Smallstar placed her tail on his shoulder, the reddish tom looked over the border at the ShadowClan cats again. Are they trying to make an alliance with us? Pathetic! Foxheart felt no mercy for the SC cats. He wished he could just jump over the border and tear them to shreds. His every muscle was straining to do so, but he barely held them back. He had to wait for his leaders orders.

Featherfur wanted to pounce of Foxheart. He could tell, and he so badly wanted to pounce back, but he held his posture, tense, but ready for anything. He gave a look at Featherfur that seemed to say, Try me!

Smallstar

[/center][/color]

Smallstar glanced swiftly at Frostedfate, then her eyes traveled back to Feathersong. She ignored them, though she almost laughed out loud. Here they were, two new leaders holding back some warriors. She was sure if she let Foxheart go he'd race across and show them what ThunderClan was made of. Instead she felt him tense up, she could feel how much he wanted to be free. This time Smallstar dipped her head, kindly toward Reaperstar. She wondered if they should leave, then she quickly banished that idea. They would wait until the ShadowClan cats were on their way.

[R*E*A*P*E*R]

[glow=gold,2,300]Feather[/glow][glow=silver,2,300]song[/glow]

Feathersong's rage boiled, she tensed her entire body. Her lean muscles coiled and her claws slid out as she watched Foxheart's glare. "Alright that's it!" She spat and tensed to jump, however her brothers soft silver pelt was suddenly barring her way, "Reaperstar!" She yowled in fury.

[glow=navy,2,300]Reaper[/glow][glow=lightblue,2,300]star[/glow]

Intersception, he saw the look of burning rage in his sisters golden eyes as his blue ones met hers. "Forgive me dearest sister, I did not realize I had gotten in your way. If you would like to sleep in the apprentices den for a few moons go right ahead and attack the ThunderClan patrol if you wish, know this however, I shall let them have at you with little assistance unless severe injury is imenent. I think I could let them claw you a bit first." His voice had gone from jovial and courteous to very very cold, he narrowed his blue eyes at his sister, "I believe we are done here. Good hunting to you Smallstar. Come Frostedfate, Feathersong." He turned and padded away from the border, without glancing back at his sister.

[glow=brown,2,300]Eagle[/glow][glow=beige,2,300]fur[/glow]

Eaglefur let out a little mrrow of laughter, so that tom had a dark side after all. He leaned over to Foxheart, "Ouch, lost her cool I guess, nice move there Foxheart. Goes to show you that Shadow Clan cat's can't keep their heads."

[glow=gold,2,300]Feather[/glow][glow=silver,2,300]song[/glow]

Hurt stabbed through Feathersong at her brother's words. Embarassment too, he'd maded her seem like little more than a kit! Still she felt guilt stab at her like a thorn, by losing control she had made him seem like a bad leader. She turned and didn't look back but at hearing Eaglefur's words she felt her throat sting. Moron! She thought as she padded after her leader.

[~Moonflower~]

Foxfeather

Foxfeather smiled evilly. His stare had made Feathersong crack. In doing so, Reaperstar had to scold her as if she were his kit. Foxfeather chuckled. This had been a win for ThunderClan in Foxfeather's eyes.

The red tom gleefully watched them walk away. She was so easy to crack. If I did that whenever I met up with her she would go crazy! Once the ShadowClan cats were out of sight, Foxfeather turned away also, ready to go back to camp.

[{{♠Dahlia✈}}]

Smallstar

Smallstar watched carefully as the ShadowClan cats left the area. She didn't really think that was necessary but as soon as they were out of sight she felt much better. "Let us return back to camp." She meowed to her two warriors, flicking her tail back and forth. She needed to speak with Darkdagger anyways. So the pretty tortoiseshell she-cat turned quickly and began racing back to camp. It wasn't something urgent or horrible wrong, she just wanted to get to Camp.

OOC: You accidently put Foxfeather instead of Foxfur. I think Feathersong did that at one point too. Anyways she went to the post Darkdagger posted. Bye!
