SparrowSong looked worried. "We could take him prisoner!" she blurted out to LemonStar. EbbPaw had crept up and was now latched onto the rogue's back. EbbPaw was trying to wrestle the MoorClan warrior away from the rogue.

*Fangtalon*

I desperately knock them away, standing over my half-brother protectively.
"None of you understand! I am taking him to a safer place! I refuse to stand by and watch as he dies of starvation or is killed in a pointless fight! I don't want to come one day and find his grave!" I yowl. I stand over Mudstripe, hissing every time a cat comes close. Then I turn, and see Foxflame and Crowfeather behind me. My eyes widen.
"You! You of all cats should understand Foxflame! I don't want him to die!" I snarl.

SparrowSong looked at her leader with determination. She looked back at the rogues. "I will escort you to your destination to make sure no cat takes it as trespassing, it would also make our clan feel safer with a warrior escorting you." she said padding up to the rogues. EbbPaw stood there with his head held high. He was to full of pride to admit defeat. He gave them a snort of disgust before bounding off to camp, his tail flicking in great annoyance. He was no doubt going to brag about defeating a rogue all alone. She gave a sigh and looked back to the rogues.

*Foxflame*

"Fangtalon I can't let you do this I...."






*Fangtalon*

"I must" I cut her off with a hiss. "Thank you" I say gratefully to the warrior. "I just need to get out of Clan territory with Mudstripe" I explain, picking up my half-bother in my jaws.

She padded along the border. "May I ask why MudStripe is unconscious." she said looking at him curiously. This MudStripe seemed to be very thin and you could see his ribs. MoorClan must be having trouble with finding food. She gave a small frown, they should be asking for help from the clans, WispClan would most likely try to help. She perked her ears. Something was rustling in the underbrush. She saw a flash of a silvery reddish orange. She instantly picked up the scent of fox and she froze. Why so many challenges today? she asked herself. The she-cat turned to the bushes and slowly crept forwards.

*Fangtalon*

"Fox!" I hiss quietly, avoiding the question. I relax though when Foxflame steps out of the bushes.






*Foxflame*

"Ugh, must have stepped in fox dung. Come on Crowpelt" I say to my father. I almost bump right into the warrior.
"Oh! Hello there...." I quickly run off into the bushes and towards the border, my father running alongside me as we cross into unclaimed territory.

The fox lept forwards, aiming for MudStripe. It was thrown off track by SparrowSong who threw herself at the fox. She backed up snarling as the fox prepared to lunge again. She met the fox at the peak of its pounce and forced herself at its eyes. She clawed its face before letting out a yowl as she was thrown off and into a tree. She struggled up and ran at the fox again.

*Fangtalon*

"Now that is a real fox!" I hiss, leaping at it. We finally drive the fox away, but now I have a deep gash in my front right shoulder and I limp slightly. Picking up Mudstripe again I motion for the warrior to continue on our way.

She had been thrown continuously at the same tree. "Curse you tree!" she spat at it. She most likely had a broken paw. She felt a bit dizzy but she padded after the rogue. "What is your name?" she asked him. "I'm SparrowSong." she looked around. The sky was darkening.

*Fangtalon*

"I'm Fangtalon, Mudstripe's younger half-brother" I inform her with a bit of pride.
