ShadowClan Territory

Rosebelly instinctively unsheathed her claws in preperation for a battle, and stood infront of Morningblue, ready to defend him. "Look, Sharppaw," she began. "If you were to fight any of us, you would be over powered, and killed if it came to it. Do you really want to start a fight?" Although her voice was calm, Rosebelly had hints of coldness in it. The tall and lean she-cat looked down at the apprentice with a harsh expression. "We are not here to harm you," she repeated for the third time. Rosebelly narrowed her eyes at Sharppaw.

Dirtpaw winced as the apprentice grew hostile. Yelling struck fear into her heart, for her mother and father used to yell at her before they died. Dirtpaw backed up a step, and curled her tail defensively around herself. She was ready to defend herself from the apprentice if he decided to fight.

Sharppaw sat down and raised his paw, looking cocky. His claws were still unsheathed, and deep inside he knew if these cats decided to break the warrior code, he was most likely doomed.

"If you aren't here to hurt me, why are your claws unsheathed, and why are you here anyway?" he asked, trying a more innocent approach. He purred in wicked delight as he witnessed the she-cat stepped in front of the first tom. "Defending your mate?" he cooed, wanting to dig his claws in. Verbally, that is.

[ He's a nasty one, he is. ]

[He's definitely got a mouth. And we are failing our diplomacy checks big time! (D&D joke)]

"The warrior code says to defend your clan, even at the cost of your life," Morningblue said calmly, his voice even. "She is right to have her claws unsheathed while yours are as well." Morningblue stepped around Rosebelly to stand evenly with her and face the apprentice, lifting his paws high so that the apprentice could see that his own claws were sheathed. "We saw that you were in distress and we assisted you. We offered you additional help, and you declined. This conversation can no longer serve any purpose." Morningblue turned his back on the younger cat and began to move away, confident that if the apprentice did decide to attack, he would not only be overwhelmed by the patrol, but by Morningblue as himself, who was trained, experienced, and a gifted fighter and he had his ears perked and was alert for the sound of an attack.

Rosebelly fought down the urge to spit at the kit. "I did not say I would fight you," she explained curtly. "You looked as if you were going to attack." Rosebelly shot Morningblue a grateful glance, but became flustered as the apprentice spoke once more. "We are not mates," she hissed. The warrior turned on her heels and padded back down the rise. "I think we should leave," she murmured to her patrol. "A ShadowClan cat has discovered us, and there's no hope for prey here. What do you guys think?" Dirtpaw grunted an agreement. "I, personally, want to head home," she mumbled. Rosebelly nodded. "That's one vote."

"Hold up ThunderClanner. I'm not done. Why were you on my territory? To "check on us"? Or steal prey?" he hissed, hating when cats ignored him. "My claws are out because I'm defending my territory." Sharppaw snarled showing his claws, making sure they knew he was ready to fight if it came down to it. "Give me a reason not to report you to Halestar."

Rosebelly froze. She glanced at her patrol, panic in her eyes. What could she say? The apprentice was suspicious enough. In a burst of sponteneity, Rosebelly turned around, and faced the apprentice. "We heard the storm from far off," she began her half-truth. "We were all worried so we decided to, yes, check up on ShadowClan once the storm died down. Clearly, you're the only ShadowClanner I see. Is your Clan alright?" Rosebelly inwardly cringed as she waited for a reply.

Morningblue gave Rosebelly a glance that warned her to keep calm, then answered Sharppaw as he continued to walk off. "There's no sign of prey stealing from us. Check every pawstep of your territory if you like, you won't find so much as a sniff of prey blood," the tom said, his voice level and cool. "Your scent markers were faded and that was unusual, that's the truth. I suppose if you'd like you could lie to your leader about us stealing prey, if Shadowclan values that sort of dishonesty. But if you feel you must talk to Halestar, I'm sure he'd be very impressed with the apprentice a Thunderclan patrol had to save from dying alone in the mud." The tom motioned with his tail for the others to follow him, keeping his pace steady and leisurely.

Rosebelly smiled slightly at the tom as a silent 'thank you'. Dirtpaw snickered at the ShadowClan apprentice, and turned towards Rosebelly. Rosebelly followed Morningblue, slowly gaining lead. She felt like she needed to lead, as patrol leader.
(Super short! Sorry!)

Sniffing, Sharppaw stalked the other way, to the RiverClan border. He distinctly remembered Halestar yowling to get to RiverClan. 'Stupid ThunderClanners,' he thought bitterly. "I know I'm right." he muttered, claws still unsheathed. Tail dropping in the mud, he trudged onward, with only his thoughts to entertain him. His dark, painful past threatened to consume his consciousness as he walked, but he forced those memories down with a sharp growl and bile in his throat. As he crossed the border, he looked back at where the patrol was. He turned and stepped over the scent lines without looking back.

Sprucefur looked back at the apprentice as he left. Sighing, he darted to the patrol. He walked through the mud in silence before finally speaking. "What will we tell Snowstar?"

Morningblue's ear twitched when he heard Sprucefur's question. "The truth," was all he said. Though he appeared calm, Morningblue was more terrified in this moment than he had been in any battle before. More terrified than when he had to defend his kit-heavy sister from that crazed rouge. That was one enemy. A battle between Shadowclan and Thunderclan could cost so many lives, and the risk of a major battle would increase if that apprentice decided to tell mention their patrol to Halestar regardless of what specifically Sharppaw decided to say. We can't have a battle now. Not with Jaystorm kitting any day now. What if Shadowclan invaded? What if her mate Thrushwing were killed? The tom could hardly stand the thought. His hackles began to raise as they approached the border. If anything happens to any of my family, that apprentice is freshkill. His claws were out now as he stalked along, trying to remind himself that a warrior doesn't kill, doesn't need to to win battles. But he didn't think he'd be able to stand it if his sister or her mate were hurt.

Rosebelly nodded in agreement. "She would be disappointed if we didn't tell her what happened," she mumbled. "Let's head back. There's no prey." The ginger she-cat turned once more, leading the patrol away from the territory.

(Short bc i have alot of notifs.
Do you guys want me to set up a meeting with Snowstar?)
