Midnight Darkness (OPEN;;IMPORTANT)

[Jet$tar]

The tiger-like tom slunk through the battle, ignoring the fighting cats around him. His yellow gaze was set on one thing and one thing alone; Wolfstar. He let out a ferocious cry and the cats there were attacking Wolfstar looked his way. One glance at his blazing yellow eyes and the rogues knew enough the flee. Before Wolfstar could get back to his paws, the lanky tom pounced as if he were a piece of prey and began shredding and ripping furiously. He felt his flesh rip between his claws, felt the blood well up and slide across the pads of his paws. How he savored it and how he still wanted to savor it, but there was no time for this. He had to make a point and make it now. There was no time for games. Barley making a sound, the tom sank his teeth into Wolfstar's throat. Wolfstar struggled furiously, but after taking on wave after wave of rogues and then fighting him there was no way he could get out of the death hold. He kept his jaws clamped tight until the gray and white tom stopped moving. He dropped his body to the ground and then placed a paw on his lifeless form as the body began to convulse. He let out a roar like a lion that silenced the fighting cats '' Let this be a warning to all of you! I will not stop until I get what I want, and none of you have lives to spare like Wolfstar! '' he meowed, his voice an icy fire.

[Wolfy//June]

Wolfstar's muscles ached as rogues just kept attacking him. But, suddenly it all stopped. There was a loud yowl and a lanky, orange tabby with jet black stripes stalked forward, his yellow eyes daunting. He then leapt at Wolfstar and he felt himself being torn apart. He was covered in pain and his throat felt tight. So tight, he couldn't breathe. Wolfstar tried to claw at the tom to escape, but he was so worn from the rest of the fight that he couldn't. He was flushed into darkness.

When he opened his eyes, the cats were gone, but his clanmates were badly beaten. a few lay dead, so many of them badly injured. He struggled into a sitting position and surveyed the camp. This is not good at all. he thought.

Suddenly a grey shadow brushed past Wolfstar straight for the rouge attacking. Besides Wolfstar, Starlingsong was by far one of the biggest and strongest tom in camp. He hissed loudly taking him to the ground. He targeted his opponent's extremities like the legs, tail, scruff, or ears before sink in his teeth into the tom's neck and had a good hold on him. This is for Wolfstar! He though to himself.

Sleetmasked nodded to Featherheart watching over Snowfur's kits. Being heavily pregnant herself in a battle, this was putting alot of stress on herself. "Its OK, little ones. I'll watch you." She purred to each one as she moved them to the back and safest part of the den. She was just getting them settled when her water broke and she started to panic. "Roseflight! Sagepaw! The kits are coming."

~

Hearing Sleetmask'ss ceying call. Sagepaw swiftly wiggled into the nursery besides the worried queen. "Its going to be alright, Sleetmask. No one is going to harm you or the kits." Sagepaw purred to sooth the queen.

((please don't kill Starlingsong, I love him and he's been through alot. I'll let you wound a leg or something, but don't kill him. Also Sleet's only going to have one kit- a little tortoiseshell she-cat))

[Ebonyfang]

Rainkit was trembling in fear. Her mother was badly wounded and Sleetmask's kits were coming. Yet, a strange curiosity rang within her and seemed to move her paws. Bravely, she padded over to Sleetmask and set a paw on the she-cat's stomach. Instantly she could feel warmth, trembling, and squirming, all in less than a breath. The kit was taken aback by the feeling. Then suddenly, a skinny rogue pounced on Featherheart and lepat into the nursery. Her eyes immediately went to Sleetmask, seeing he weakness. Rainkit stepped bravely in front of her. "If you want Sleetmask, too bad. You'll never get her!" she snarled at the intruder.

[xfeatherheartx]

"Rainkit! Back inside!" She said while lashing at the rogue. She finally got the cat running away out of camp. Then she ran back to the nursery. "Maybe next time kid." She said to Rainkit who sat disappointed."Can I do anything to help Sleetmask?"

[Roseleaf]

Roseleaf had jumped to attention as soon as she heard Wolfstar's call. During the battle, she had lost sight of many of her clanmates in the fray, but she spotted one of the rougues attacking Wolfstar. She headed towards him to help, but Starlingsong beat her to it. She looked around for other cats that needed help. Instantly, she spotted one and leaped into the battle.

[Shatter]

Shatter casualy strolled into the scene. He stood at the edge of the fighting, watching the cats rip eachother to pieces. Most cats would have not wanted to be involved. To walk away and forget the grisly sight and crys of wounded warriors. He flexed his claws on the blood soaked earth. But Shatter was no ordinary cat. He enjoyed the conflict. He purred with pleasure as blood soaked into the fur of his paws. The jet black tom sat down and curled his tail neatly around his front paws. He waited for someone to notice him. He wanted to add to the bloodshed!

[Spruceburn]

Spruceburn sent the skinny rogue running away bloodied and beaten. He glanced around the clearing to see if one of his clanmates needed help and gasped as he saw a lanky orange striped tom slinking toward Wolfstar. '' Wolf- '' The tabby tom began to cry but was cut off as another rogue jammed his shoulder into him. After a few moments of harsh battle, Spruceburn sent the rogue she-cat limping out of camp with a wounded leg. The scarred tom turned to see the tiger-like rogue place a paw on Wolfstar's body, '' Let this be a warning to all of you! I will not stop until I get what I want, and none of you have lives to spare like Wolfstar! '' The clan was silent for a moment except for the sounds coming from the nursery. Suddenly SunClan warriors dove for the rogue to avenge their leader, but Starlingsong made it there first. As the sleek SunClan warrior attacked, the fighting around them began again.

[Jet$tar]

The striped tom sturggled in the warrior's grasp and then went limp, his yellow eyes dissapearing behind closing eyelids. He felt the SunClan cat loosen his grip, waited a few moments, and then suddenly sprung up lashing at his face. Blood was dripping from his neck but it wasn't anything that would stop him from fighting. The sleek tom got in a few good hits but in the end the invader bowled him over with his broad shoulders and lunged, ripping at his under-belly. This is enough He thought as he got off the tom. He wouldn't kill him. He fought hard, he desevred to live. But for good measure, the rogue spat on the ground close to his face. '' You waste your fighting skills and risk your life defending a cat like Wolfstar? You're pathetic just like him. '' he meowed, his voice as cold as ice.

[Shatter]

Shatter sat in a clump of bushes. Sure he was defeated! One defeat on the field of battle isn't anything as long as the leaders survive! That was your one mistake! You let me live. Now you will die for your mistake! The evil cat thought with relish as he imagined brutal ways of killing Spruceburn. He promised to himself that cat would die. And Shatter never broke a promise. As he was joyfuly licking his wounds clean, he developed a plan. It was a grand plan! Sunclan wont ever see it coming...

[mouse]

Starlingsong gasped in pain looking up at the tiger striped rouge. He was in real pain but he still managed to get to his paws. He glanced down at his stomach and back up. "If I-I don't fight for my clan then who should I fight for?" He meowed weakly, he glanced over at Wolfstar then back up at the rouge.

~

Sleetmask gasped. "Please...Where is Roseflight?" The silver queen meowed in pain looking around for her sister.

~

"Its OK, Sleetmask. Me and Featherheart are here for you." She smiled. "Featherheart, can you talk to her. Sooth her please....I need," Sagepaw meowed looking around the nursery for the herbs she needed. It was a very good thing Roseflight and Sagepaw have stocked the nursery so they would be ready for just in case something happen. "Sleetmask, your going to be just fine." She purred.

[xfeatherheartx]

"Don't worry. Not only will it be fine but Clayheart will be here soon."
Featherheart said, trying her best to calm down Sleetmask.

[Leaf/Frost]

Leafwing entered the camp, seeing writhing, hissing, spitting cats locked in combat. Her tactical mind switched into action. She knew that she couldn't barge right up to the nearest rogue and pounce on them. No, that would be a suicidal move. Instead, she darted in and out of the fray, giving bites and scratches to the enemy rogues, then slipping out before they could counterattack.

~~~~~~~~~~

Frostpaw woke to snarls of battle outside his den.
Protect the nuresry! Sleetmask is kitting!
He ran to the nursery, then flug himself at a rogue nearby.
"Don't worry Sleetmask! I'll protect you and your kits!"

[Furyclaw]

Furyclaw's eyes locked with a tom. "You should learn better to attack clan cats head on!" THe she-cat tackled him to the ground she hung on to his shoulder before batting his head around several time. Scratches streched across his face from her claws. The former Thunderclan cat let go of his should the gray tom stood but collapsed shaken before he stumbled off in an amuseing way. Furyclaw couldn't help but laugh. Her amusement was stopping when teeth dug into her tail. She whirled around to see a she-cat clinging on. "Not smart" was all the cat muttered. Furyclaw flung the small tabby into a far off bush. "My tail is my strongest weapon" she meowed. The white she cat was then tackled by several rogues but they wer mearly thrown off when took into a run through a bush and into another cat.

The she-cat lept up toward Starlingsong. This tom had harmed Wolfstar badly, the very cat that accepted her into his clan. Now, he was being ridue to the very first cat she had made friends with. "You're wrong, I will fight for these cats till my very last life is gone!" Furyclaw may have very well left her former position as leader of Thunderclan but it can't get of her extra lives, 7. The gray and white cat lept onto the tom, digging her claws into his shoulder refusing to let go.

[Greenlily//Topaz]

Greenlily attacked blindly, trusting her nose rather than her eyes. She could scent if it were foe or Clanmate in front of her, and then knew whether or not to attack. Her claws raked down flanks and slashed faces, but she was begining to wonder how much hope there was of winning this battle.
