Maplestar left camp keeping up a quick pace. He followed Sunstone and Ivypaw's scent trails back to where the warrior and apprentice had been, and nearby he caught an odd scent that was a mix of mud and an unfamiliar cat's scent. There shouldn't be mud this far up the lake, he thought, and anyway he didn't see any signs of mud around. It was hard to follow the scent of the mud so he focused on the stalks of grass ahead, looking for signs a cat may have brushed by it, bending the grass or leaving hairs of fur behind. He pricked his ear hearing something running a short ways away, and the scent of rabbit and loner washed over him as the wind changed direction. Maplestar bounded in that direction, coming upon Zina killing the rabbit.

Maplestar stepped out to confront the loner. "You're on SteppeClan territory." he eyed her, but her scent wasn't the same as the loners who smelled of mud. "That rabbit belongs to SteppeClan." he nodded at the fresh-kill she was eating.

"You did not hunt it fair and square, you hunted it in our territory, therefore it belongs to SteppeClan. I will take it, we have hungry young cats to feed. There's plenty of space for you to hunt beyond our borders." Maplestar said, moving towards the rabbit intending to take it. He didn't snarl like she did, he kept a cool expression but folded his ears back. There's only one of me, yes, one of me that is nearly twice your size and has nine lives. he almost wanted to say.

Maplestar flinched back from her paw, then thought about Sunstone's words back in camp. "I will fight for it," he growled and extended himself to his full height, fluffing out his fur to make his already large size look even larger as he stepped towards the loner again. "Get off of our territory if you don't want to get hurt." he warned.

"I won't kill you. It's very likely we'll both be alive by the end of this. Unless you're suggesting you value your pride over your life?" Maplestar asked, circling with her so she didn't get behind him. He unsheathed his claws.

“I can tell from her belly that’s she’s had some and I can tell by her face that... something has happened to them.”
Swiftkill lashed her tail, glaring at her old lover.
“We’re they mine?”
“No.” Swiftkill growled, disgust in her voice.
Sky Wise just looked at her, eyes soft and sad. “I’m sorry Swiftkill.”
“I don’t need your apology.” Swiftkill spat, her tail coiling tight round her paws. “I need you to let me go.”
Sky Wise frowned before giving a long sigh. “I’d like for you to come willingly Swiftkill, see what life is like beyond those borders you trap yourself in.” The silver tom stole close to her, despite the bristling of her fur and took a seat beside the she-cat. “It’s not just your souls you hurt Swiftkill, it’s not healthy for a cat not to roam. Your fast, you always have been. Don’t you see the harm in letting that waste away? You should be stretching those legs, flying over the ground, doing everything you can in this wide world! Not sitting in one place, body wasting away till you can’t even provide for your kits.”
Snarling Swiftkill rounded on the tom and dove for his eyes. Sky Wise leapt back in time, her claws brushing the ends of his fur. He stared at her, panting and glaring at him with all the hate in the world.

Brindlebriar we've moved on quite a bit, they're on their way back to where the Wanderers made camp and stopped to talk to Swiftkill)

(Brokenmist is with them)
Hollow Moon listened to the conversation with interest. "If the kits had lived with us we could have provided for them. We can travel to the ends of the world to find enough food. Being born of SteppeClan cats they were probably weak as well. Moon-Hunter's kits would've been much stronger anyway." She said. When Swiftkill jumped at Sky Wise she leaped on the smaller she-cat's back, pinning her to the ground with her weight.

Brokenmist flattened his ears. All they were trying to do was have a decent conversation with this cat, and seeing how many times a fight had broken out, he wasnt sure if he was allowed to rake his claws down her side to teach her a lesson. He hissed in warning and stood to his paws.

"We're not going to spill your guts. We just want to let you know what you missed out on by not joining the Wanderers. Your kits might have still been alive, think on that. You could have more kits eventually, and they would fare better with the Wanderers than with SteppeClan." She hissed and backed off of Swiftkill, releasing her.

Hollow Moon shoved Swiftkill to keep moving as they followed Sky Wise. "We're not far from where we've camped now, and there might be some fresh-kill for you there. If not, Moon-Hunter can always catch you another snake like he did yesterday." She gave Sky Wise an amused look

Brokenmist shook his head in digust and followed the two other cats. He had been silent for the most part of this trip, and somehow he felt like he was intruding, but his mates needed him. "I am starving." He mewed, a feeble attempt at lightening the dark mood.

"I'm surprised she fell for anyone's charm." Hollow Moon scoffed as she passed the champion with a dip of her head. "No, she's not on our side. We brought her back because otherwise she would alert the entire Clan of our presence. She needs to stay with us for now so she doesn't go running off to the SteppeClan leader about our plans."

Brokenmist snorted and headed to where the other champions had the fresh kill. His paws were tired, and his fur still held onto clumps of mud from earlier. He shook his head and began to lick his fur clean, happy to be home.

Broken mist laughed. He knew he had to look silly, seeing his silver fur all patchy with dry and crusty mud. He began to lick, nearly gagging with the foul taste of the old mud. Maybe if he could jump in a river or something, he wouldnt have to throw up last nights meal in the process of cleaning. He sighed and looked around. Maybe someone would like to go with him.

Hollow Moon took a vole from the fresh-kill and followed after Swiftkill, getting the she-cats attention by tapping her back with her tail and setting the vole down. "You should eat something, you're so skinny." she said.

"That's none of your concern." Maplestar said, going over to where the rabbit lay in a bush and standing over it protectively. "You need to leave our territory now." he hissed.
