Midnightstar's yowl rang out across the ThunderClan clearing as she sat in the center of the hollow. As it was sunhigh, she wanted to hurry with the meeting. AS cats gathered, she began.
"A battle shall be held, now."
Stormflower's eyes widened as she sat. The leader had never told anyone about this. It was so unexpected....
"I know you all were unprepared for this, but so will the opponent clan. We will be fighting for Horseplace. We need the extra territory with all the rabbits, and since ThunderClan's growing bigger, we neeed more territory. Because they have such few cats, we don't need fighting patrols, so the fighting cats will all come in one group. I, Lunafire, Flamefur, Spottedheart, Mapleclaw, Enchantedpaw, Brushfire, Stormflower, Dustflower, Brindlestream, Cedarstorm, Flounderpaw, Fizzlepaw, Snowpaw, Darkpaw, Rockfall, Frostfire, Tigerpaw, Applestorm, Otterclaw, Bluesky, Sparklepool, Wolfpaw, Hollyfoot, Dandypaw, Ivypaw, Rainpaw, and Scarletpaw shall go. Together we are 28 cats. Vixen, be prepared for wounded cats; but I have thought of that you may not be fully stocked of herbs, so Russetpaw shall stay and help you collect herbs and take care of the wounded, since she seems so eager to make them." She turned her hard gaze to her kit. Would she ever learn? Shaking her head, she began to speak again. "Fallenpaw, Sageleaf, Mossheart, Moonclaw, Thornclaw, Mousepaw, Blackpaw, and Leopardpelt shall stay back to gaurd the camp. Redpaw is still too weak to battle, so he has to stay back, sadly, since he's getting closer to his assesments."
Ivypaw nearly leapt out of her claws in excitement when she heard her name called to go to battle.
Sparklepool's eyes glittered in excitement. This would be her first battle!
Wolfpaw howled in excitement with the yowls of eagerness from other cats.
"This'll be so awsome!" He meowed to Dandypaw through the cheering.
"And even if ShadowClan joins, we'll be able to beat them all!" She yowled as her clan cheered.
Mapleclaw rose to his hind paws and swiped the air, eagerness burning in his eyes. His heart suddenly seemed to skip a beat. Seashell was in RiverClan. Nervously and shifted on his paws. Well at least she wouldn't be in the battle....
Flounderpaw swatted the air, excitement pulsing through him. Since RiverClan only had 13 warriors, it was like catching a kit. Even if ShadowClan joined the battle to help RiverClan, their five cats couldn't beat ThunderClan. He snorted and let his paws pound the ground.
Snowpaw kicked out with her hind paws, eagerly pacing.
Lifting her head, Midnightstar yowled and pounded through the forest and cats began to stream through the entrance tunnel into the woods.
Dustflower raced after her leader, her short paws springing as her heart raced. What about Cloudwhisker? She couldn't fight him! She fought as thoughts engulfted her but she continued.
Darkpaw skittered across the earth, his short legs pounding as he bolted through the forest.
Midnightstar built up energy and her muscles bunched as she leapt the stream. Her pelt gleamed as she soared over, the sunlight peircing her pelt.
Enchantedpaw, splashed through the creek, holding her head up as she tried to keep her head above water. Scrambling toward the rivers edge, she scrambled up, shivering.
Tigerpaw covered the creek quickly, leaping through the waters that just reached his neck line. He was going to battle!
Fizzlepaw reached the edge of the creek, shaking her pelt that was soaked up to her belly line.
"Brr," she mumbled, trotting after Midnightstar who'd slowed the pace.
Mythpaw dug into a water vole at the fresh kill pile. Everything seemed so peaceful in the RiverClan camp. Leaping to her paws she flexed her muscles. She'd just done training with her father, Cloudwhisker, and was planning to go for a nap, but instead, with such the nice autumn morning, she slipped into the reed and disigduous hunting territory. Bounding through the grass, after a while she reached the marsh, panting.
Midnightstar slowed to a trot as she waited for her clan to cross the river and catch their breath.
"Remember, we'll wait at the end of Horseplace, until they eventually find us. It wouldn't be right to barge into their camp. That would start not a battle, but war." Walking slowly until they pushed their way through the the last forest edges unto the moor, she once again picked up the pace. Running at a canter, grass bunched beneath her claws.
Stormflower panted as they reached the begginning of Horseplace. She hadn't been in a battle since she was an apprentice, and that was against ShadowClan. They still owned the territory until the first twoleg path across the shadowClan stream border.
Midnightstar turned into a full run, pulling farther away from her clan because of her long legged run. Letting out a peircing battle cry, she suddenly stopped at the end of horseplace and reared onto her hind paws, slashing the air.
Mapleclaw joined the yowl, letting his cater-waul peirce the air.
Mythpaw suddenly swung her head up, still slightly panting.
"Oh no!" She cried, turning and pelting back through the reeds to camp.
"ThunderClan's attacking!" She wailed, skidding into camp.
"A battle shall be held, now."
