Sunningrocks is ours! [Riverclan attacks!]

[Elmo]

The Riverclan deputy stood at the head of the battle patrol in place of their aging leader, Rushstar. His usual warm, brown eyes were narrowed with coldness. While it was true he didn't see the sense in taking Sunningrocks he would never disobey a direct order from his leader, would follow him to the ends of the earth.

The brown tabby turned to glance back at the rest of the patrol, flicking his tail in a gesture to follow as he moved toward the river. In this weather the icy waters seemed to burn through his short coat and right down to his skin, but he held in the gasp that threatened to escape and swam strongly forward and toward their goal. Sunningrocks.

[hummingbird]

gazelleflight plunged into the water behind the deputy, her long, sleek calico fur quickly becoming drenched in the process. gasping a little, she slitted her vivid green eyes and swam towards sunningrocks, her lithe body being tugged back and forth by the current.

[•• hawky]

Prowling through Thunderclan territory, Warmfront jerked her head up when she heard a small noise. Pricking her ears, the Thunderclan warrior realized with a jolt that the splashing noise was coming from Sunningrocks.

Great Starclan! The ginger tabby thought, bounding toward the large boulders. Lifting her head, she scented the air and made out fresh scents of Riverclanners. She immediately recognized Shiftingreeds and clenched her teeth.

Slithering up on top of the tallest rock, Warmfront stared down at the enemy warriors, muscles tensed. Where was the rest of her clan?

[fiction]

"What're you doing here?!" spat Runningpaw, eyes narrowed. She sprinted at top speed and lunged up to flank Warmfront. Immediately, she anticipated a fight between both clans and rolled her eyes in an annoyed way. Standing tall to not show fear, the calico apprentice leaned over to mutter in Warmfront's ear, "Should I go get a backup patrol, Warmfront?" she asked quietly.

[•• hawky]

Warmfront thought about it for a moment. If Runningpaw left to get backup, Riverclan might attack. But if she didn't, it would be the two of them, unless their clanmates came. She shook her head. Riverclan was sensible, as was Shiftingreeds. They wouldn't dare attack a single warrior. "Yes, but hurry up," the she-cat muttered.

[hummingbird]

gazelleflight flicked her tail, mewing in sarcasm 'what does it look like?' she spat back, emerging from the water behind her clan. irritably kneading her paws against the pebbles, she waited for the order to attack. she would gladly rip out some thunderclan fur. especially annoying apprentice fur.

[•• hawky]

Warmfont glared at the Riverclanners, muscles tensed. "Do you fish-faces really think we're going to give up Sunningrocks so easily?" she spat.

[fiction]

Runningpaw turned and galloped towards the camp at top speed, her eyes narrowed in a fierce way. She stepped on something sharp, but ignored it, refusing to stumble.

[Elmo]

Shiftingreeds growled, rowing his powerful shoulders, "it doesn't matter. Regardless it's going to be ours! Riverclan, attack!"

With that said the brown tabby lunged for Warmfront, aiming claws at his chest.

Small timeskip for anyone on the backup patrol

-----

Runningpaw sprinted back with her paws thudding against the earth.

[•• hawky]

[Warmfront's a femme. c:]

Letting out a snarl, Warmfront fell backwards with a thump, blood welling on her chest. The spot where Shiftingreed's claws had pierced her flesh stung like hell, but she sprang to her paws and lashed out at the Riverclan deputy's head.

[hummingbird]

gazelleflight bared her teeth, hissing as she scanned the battle. realising that the apprentice had just returned with a battle patrol, she bounded forward and fluffed her fur out, leaping with her paws outstretched towards runningpaw's chest.

lockedheart ran through the trees with the battle patrol, eyes flashing in rage and fur spiked up in fury. seeing warmfront tackling the deputy, he rushed forwards to his clanmate and thrust his claws out at shiftingreed's legs.

[fiction]

Runningpaw squealed, tackled down. Blood welled from her chest violently. "Let me go!" The apprentice squeaked, thrashing around. Forgetting the code and suddenly only thinking of her survival and escape, she aimed to shoot her claws into Gazelleflight's throat, a death blow.

[hummingbird]

rearing back, gazelleflight let go of the apprentice and gasped as the claws whisked past her throat, leaving a long, but shallow scratch. the white on her neck becoming stained with blood, the river clan warrior stepped back to watch the apprentice escape before closing her eyes to slits against the pain and leaping forward, sinking her bloodied claws into a unknown thunderclan warrior.

[Elmo]

Oops, sorry D:

The brown ticked tabby hissed making a move to stumble backwards when another Thunderclan cat lunged forward. Paws tripping him. Shiftingreeds lost his footing and went down, teeth bared with blood dripping down his new head wound. It was a few painful scratches but wasn't anything he couldn't handle.

Rolling to his paws the Riverclan deputy rushed forward, aiming claws once more for Warmfront.

---

The Thunderclan deputy was right on the heels of his clanmates, lips already curled and teeth bared for battle. He knew they wouldn't be able to count on Rushstars word, he'd already broken it and was trying to take sunningrocks!

Breaking through the trees and onto the rocks he paused, taking in the battle with a quick glance before lunging forward, aiming a heavy blow toward Gazelleflight's head.

[•• hawky]

Warmfront ducked out of the way, the large tom's claws only grazing her forehead. While she was low to the ground, the agile warrior lunged forward, aiming to headbutt the Riverclanner.

[hummingbird]

gazelleflight reared back, stunned temporarily by the harsh blow to her ears. lucky she'd ducked out of the way in time… otherwise.. the she-cat gulped to think about that. leaping towards rabbitfoot's back, gazelleflight's eyes flashed with the battle. sunningrocks would be theirs once again!
