Rivermind suddenly noticed the fish all swim away, and she floated back up to the top, and got out. "Oh. I'm sorry." She huddled herself into a dripping wet ball. She didn't shake out, but instead just sat there, ashamed. "Messed up again, didn't I?"

{No problem! It's a rough week for a lot of us.} "Oh" Wolftalon responded seeing the she-cats obvious frustration. Wolftalon noticed Tatteredpaw sitting behind the rest of them. "Do you not want to learn how to fish Tatteredpaw?" He questioned with just a hint of a sharp edge in his voice. "It is important for a warrior to know how to feed his clan." Wolftalon added as he padded closer to the young tom-cat. Wolftalon circled around behind the apprentice and opened his mouth to make another comment. Right before he could say a word he heard a loud thud behind him. "What in the-" He started as he whipped his head around to investigate the source of the sound. He was greeted by a large set of fangs. The animal seemed to be about the same size as he was. It was snarling at Wolftalon, ready to strike. This must be his territory. Wolftalon's eyes widened as he unsheathed his claws. His heart started to beat faster. The tom fluffed his fur to make him appear bigger and let out a snarl back. He could jump over the animal and bite its leg. He knew he could make the jump, that wasn't the problem. If he did that he would be removing the barrier between the attacker and the apprentice. That barrier being himself. The animal struck a paw at Wolftalon. The tom-cat ducked in time to miss the claws but was able to feel the air from the force of the blow. "Tatteredpaw go back to camp" Wolftalon hissed through his teeth. "Tell them whats happened"

Tatteredpaw was going to open his mouth to reply to his leader about learning to fish when he heard the same loud thump from behind. He whipped around his eyes widening as he unsheathed his claws. He looked at his leader, ready to protest but thought better of it as he saw the look in his eye. He turned around and ran as fast as he could back to camp. After a few minutes he burst through the entrence and yowled "I need warriors. The others are in trouble. Huge animal attacking them!!"

Rockpath grimaced at her actions. Foolish. She scolded herself. Being hungry and tired is not an excuse to act out. She turned to explain herself when she heard a thump come from the shore. Her head whipped around. At first, she was still. She had never seen something so...large and monstrous. Her neck fur slowly prickled up as it snarled. It was only when it swung it's massive paw that she snapped out of her trance. The deputy let out a yowl as she charged at the beast. She stopped around the massive legs of the beast. Her swipe aimed at his brown fur didn't land, but it did distract it. The beast swung it's head to snap at the she-cat. She managed to dip away.

Riverwind spun to meet the creature, and she lunged at it, trying to sink her teeth into it. She ended up tumbling down, not being able to get a grip before it thrashed her off.
Polarfang felt his pelt go on end, and knew Rivermind would be part of this. He dashed over to Tatteredpaw. "Where are they?" His eyes were wide with fear.

{Wolverines are actually kind of cute when they don't look like they want to kill you} {I didn't actually think he was gonna listen xD} Eagleclaw was sharing a squirrel with Icemist when the young apprentice ran into the camp. "Stay here. Protect the camp" He instructed the she-cat not needing to say more. "Who's in trouble." Eagleclaw asked as he raced over to the apprentice. "Nevermind that where are they. Show me." He instructed as a few more cats gathered around him ready fight.
{That way whoever wants there cat to be apart of it can add it later}
When the animal whipped its head at Rockpath Wolftalon leaped on the animal's back trying to latch on. He sank his claws into the animals fur and went to bite it's neck but couldn't because the animal reared up on it's hind legs. This loosened Wolftalon's grip and he fell from the animals back. He landed roughly on the ground. The impact sending a jarring pain throughout his body. He let out a grunt of pain. Wolftalon may have fallen but he managed to get deep cuts in the animal's back.

(lol i considered that but I decided its a massive creature and he was caught off guard but he will be back for a fight!)
Tatteredpaw nodded meowing "follow me! they are just over by the river" He took off running as fast as he could following the sound of fighting back to the group of cats. As they got closer he unseathed his claws and burst on to the scene just in time to see his leader fall from the creatures back. He let out a hiss and leaped onto its back grabbing on to its shoulders with his front claws and racking its back with his unseathed back claws hoping it wouldnt go after his leader any more.

Yeah. They look like a cross between a bear and badger. Plus, they normally aren't really that angry either. This one is just old and grumpy. xP )
The creature reared up on it's front legs, making Rockpath's weak. No creature should be this tall and have those long teeth. The she-cat may be a warrior, but she was young and frankly hadn't been in many battles. She wasn't sure what to do. The beast's fur was thick and she couldn't reach his eyes or nose. The she-cat's tail puffed when she realized the creature was coming down and it's claws were aimed to squash her. The only option was to dodge. The dazed she-cat couldn't get her paws working fast enough. The beast clipped her bad shoulder. She yowled in protest and swiped at it's nose. The scent of blood was thick in the air now and the creature was starting to only snarl and growl. Rockpath's tail lashed as she took steps back.

Polarfang followed, and lunged at the creature, lashing out as furious as he could. Rivermind fought next to him, clawing at the beast as hard and as furious as she could. It gave him some comfort that she was safe, and only slightly injured, seeing the cut along her shoulder.

Rivermind noticed she was hurt, and jumped off of the creature to tend to her. She now has several bleeding cuts, all of which were along her flanks from that thing. She remembered what a medicine cat would use, and grabbed some nearby cobwebs, and wrapped them around Rockpaths wounds.

Wolftalon leaped to his feat and ended up face to face with the creature once again. He swiped at it as hard as he could trying to do as much damage as possible. The creature didn't like this very much and swiped at Wolftalon himself. However hard Wolftalon could hit, this thing could hit much harder. The blow was to Wolftalon's shoulder and chest. This caused him to stumble but he was able to regain his balance. He felt hot sticky blood start to pour from his body but didn't feel any pain. Adrenaline was flowing through his blood luring him into a false security. He may not feel it now but he sure would later. Wolftalon prepared himself to attack again.

Eagleclaw rushed out of the camp following the apprentice. He froze when he saw the animal. When Tatteredpaw meant big, he meant big. Eagleclaw assumed that the young apprentice just hadn't seen a fox before. This creature, whatever it was, was far more dangerous than a fox. Eagleclaw charged toward the rear of the animal and sank his teeth into it's tail. He accompanied this by sinking his claws into the animal's hind quarters.

"pst!" Firepaw called out. "Mousepaw! Over here!" He said in a hushed voice. "I didn't think you'd ever make it! Where should we go? We can go to the mountains or to the forest!" Firepaw went on making no attempt to conceal the excitement in his voice. Mousepaw let out a breath of excitement, her tail swishing across the ground around them. "The mountains!" She exclaimed, looking from Firepaw to Sootpaw, "I'm sure we'll get to see so much there, yeah?" She said to them nervously, hoping she wasn't speaking out of turn.

Tatteredpaw saw the beast hurt his mentor and he yowled in protest he lunged for the beasts neck sinking his teeth in but not quite enough. It shook its huge head and Tatteredpaw went flying taking with him a chunk of the beasts fur and skin. Its neck still bleeding it turned on the other cats while Tatteredpaw shook his head trying to gain his bearings.

Polarfang sank his teeth into the monsters pelt, and clawed and kicked him as hard as he could. Anger surged in his blood, causing him to attack as hard and as ferocious as he could, for his clan. For his Rivermind. His sister. He never considered her a half, only a whole. He kept attacking, and found a weak spot between his head and neck, and hit it as hard as he could.

Rockpath gasped as Wolftalon was hit. The tom was taking foolish risks. The deputy had to get back in to the fight. "I don't need them." She told Rivermind when she tried to apply cobwebs. The she-cat stood up, ignoring the sharp pain in her shoulder. It was more important to protect their mousebrained leader. The she-cat scanned the area. Thanks to her clanmates, they had surrounded the beast. With their numbers, it was outmatched. They would be able to win, but at great cost. She knew the medicine cats were struggling with finding herbs in this area. Infections were not fun or good for the clan. "Try to drive it up the tree." She ordered. She hopped by giving it an escape route, it would take the opportunity to leave. She took a swipe with a yowl. Her fur was fluffed up as she tried to appear scary.

{Hello Morticat! If you would like one of your cats to be involved in the wolverine attack then just throw them in. They could have came from the camp w/ Eagleclaw.} Firepaw nodded his head excitedly. "I bet we can see the whole territory if we go high enough!" His tail was flicking back and forth very quickly in anticipation.

Rivermind sighed, and went up to the monster, fluffing her fur as long as she could, and hissing and baring her teeth as much as possible to attempt to scare it. She knew it might not work, but she just had to try. She had to.

Polarfang rolled his eyes, and raked his claws at the creatures eyes, clawing them horribly. Blood thudded in his ears.

Melodyheart twitched her whiskers as she settled down. It had been a while since she had looked at toms, but then again, it had been a while she had looked at anything. With her eyes, she couldn't focus on much of anything. "Hmph, maybe you haven't. Have you forgotten the furballs sleeping next to us. Those kits cause more trouble than I have ever heard." She said before taking a bite out of the freshkill. Her words held no actually malice. She was glad they had a warm place to sleep and didn't really mind using her voice to tell stories. Her ears flicked when she heard the apprentice yowl. "What do you suppose the beast is this time?" She asked.

{Aww Tatteredpaw <3}
Wolftalon knew Rockpath was right. The thing was only fighting harder now that it was cornered. The animal wasn't only defending its territory anymore, it was fighting for survival. Wolftalon felt the need to kill the thing. He was blocking it's way to the tree line and he didn't want to move. He had been so angry. So devastated about what happened, this thing, whatever it was needed to die.
Eagleclaw was toward the rear of the creature"Wolftalon!" He called. "Wolftalon!" he called again. no change "You're in its way!" He growled to his leader
Wolftalon stood face to face with the creature daring it to attack him. He vaguely heard his name being called. Then again, clearer this time. The instructions that followed were crystal but he didn't want to budge. He stood there the tension in his muscles growing. Everything around him seemed to be frozen. Eagleclaw kept calling to the leader urging him to move out of the way. What finally caused the tom to move was not the voice of Eagleclaw. It was the voice that belonged to the reason of his sorrow. The very reason he was standing there in the first place
Wolftalon growled as he walked sideways circling to the side of the creature

(what?)
Tatteredpaw took a few wobbly steps before shaking his head again. He was able to come to his senses and see the creature bleeding from his neck wound and scratches on its eye as well. It was still fighting but not nearly as hard. He ran back biting its hind leg quickly before taking a step back before it could hurt him. He looked from his leader and then his mentor wanting to attack more. He knew there were injuries but this thing could come back. Now was there chance!! Why wasnt anyone taking it??

Rivermind spun around to find the apprentice, who she could tell was losing a lot of blood. She grabbed some cobwebs, and fastened them as securely as she could, and ignored any protestings that he might have. "Hold still." She meowed firmly, but kindly. "Yes, I know I'm not a medicine cat. I'm just the next best thing."
Polarfang clawed the creatures muzzle, trying to find some way to kill it. He had to prove himself. He had to.

{Oh. He's just looking out for Wolftalon who is being stupid. lol}
"Stop!" Wolftalon exclaimed. "Let it go! It will go home to heal. We can come back and track it to its den and see if there are more." Wolftalon hissed "And your deputy gave you an order" He added through barred teeth. Just because they could kill it doesn't mean they should. It could very well die on its way back to wherever it came from.

(aww yeah. Okay couple questions. Why not Wolfstar? And he lost his mate so thats why hes sad? He needs someone to talk to about all this)
Tatteredpaw growled but knew he could ignore a direct order from his leader AND deputy. He took a step back but did not sheath his claws. He hissed watching the creature slink away into the trees.

Polarfang froze, and the creature threw him off like he was a rag doll. During his rage, he didn't notice how bad he'd gotten hurt. His side's were badly wounded, and his ears were badly scratched. He collapsed to the ground, sides heaving.

Rockpath watched the group with a growl forming in her throat. Mousebrain toms with their precious ego was going to be the death of them at this rate. She had almost thought she was going to have to push Wolftalon out of the way and now it was Polarfang. "Don't claw it." Rockpath said with a growl. The beast was already retreating with occasional swipes towards the cats. The deputy inched towards the beast, making sure it would make its way up the tree. The creature let out one last toothy snarl before scampering away. Well, it wasn't up a tree, but it did get away. Rockpath relaxed a fraction with a sigh. She turned to look over her clanmates.

Rivermind heard the beast run away, and turned to see her brother, bleeding, but otherwise alive. She sighed in relief. She dashed over, and cobwebbed his wounds. "You'll hold until we get back."

{Because there is nowhere for him to go get his new name/ nine lives. Owlstar died at the new territory and the cat's haven't discovered The lost Cave yet. Plus, he is kind of upset with Starclan {ie thinks they abandoned him/the clan} because they didn't warn the clan about the fire and Arcticsong died in the fire. Yeah she wasn't his mate but he loved her very much. He never had the guts to tell Articsong that he loved her. </3 But yes that is why he is being super depressed. And yes he does need someone to talk to }
