Fallingsky felt his stomach turn as he looked up the tree to see the fisher that attacked their camp earlier. He faced Sunpaw, not knowing wether to run or fight. “Run!” He blurted out as he took off towards Sunpaw to make sure she ran too. As they jumped over and dodged brush and logs he could hear the fisher jump on the ground and chasing behind them. Fallingsky could feel the wind in his fur and the adrenaline in his body as he fought to get away.
Suddenly the fisher grabbed onto Fallingsky’s leg causing him to let out a terrible screech. He dug his claws into the ground as the fish tried to drag him back, anger flooding through him as he felt he couldn’t get away. “You stupid creature!” He shouted.

(let's get this plot rolling! The current idea is very flexible, I'm more than open to any changes  ) SunpawSunpaw stumbled on her paws at Fallingsky's order to run. She quickly followed, fearing the feeling of teeth and claws grasping at her with each step. She could hear the heavy steps of the fisher getting closer with each stride. At one point, unknown to her, she had managed to run ahead of her mentor, her smaller size allowing her to traverse the forest with greater ease. She she heard the cry of the warrior, she stopped, turning quickly to see the figures of her mentor and the beast struggling in the undergrowth. She hadn't realized how far she had gotten from him. She wanted to rush back to him, but she knew the beast would easily beat them both. "Fallingsky, I'm getting help!" She cried to her mentor, pleading to starclan that he will be able fend off the beast long enough for help to arrive. Quick on her feet, she raced towards the camp as fast as her paws could take her. "Help!" she yowled between breathes as she saw the camp enterance "It has Fallingsky!" FisherThe fisher growled as it gripped onto the cat in front of it, snapping it's jaw as it attempted a killing bite. It's frustration grew as the cat fought back, stronger than the creature had expected. It stepped away from the cat for a moment, it's white teeth bared viciously. Now in the clearing of the forest, it was easy to see. It was rather large, but only in height, ribs poked out from it's thinning fur, scabs and scars covered it's body. It was clear that it was starving, and had been struggling to survive for some time. Once again, it pounced at the tom, releasing a loud, high pitched cry as it did. HollowGreen eyes watched from the undergrowth as the two creatures fought. It sat calmly in the shadows, seeming to wait with great intention. For a moment, it's eyes followed the small calico that raced away, but it soon settled it's eerie gaze back onto Fallingsky. It decided it would help, but only if it felt that the tom was worthy of such assistance. |

Fallingsky felt relieved when the fisher let go of the grip on his leg, he thought that was going to be the end of his life. He gained his balance and made a hunting crouch towards the creature, growling and showing his teeth. The creature was horrifying and dirty, Fallingsky felt like running away but there was no chance he’d let the creature raid the camp again if he had the chance to stop it. The creature pounced at Fallingsky and quickly he divided under the creature making it stumble. He pounced at the creature with unsheathed claws and latched onto its back, ha! I got you! he thought as dug his claws further into its back. He knew he couldn’t kill it, but he could fend it off long enough until Sunpaw came back with help.

Blacktooth stood near the entrance ready to attack the strange creature if it tried to come back. He had never seen anything like it before and wondered where it came from. He half expected the creature to come charging in for round two. He was more than ready to show the creature the error of it's ways. Sunpaw: Sunpaw’s ears perked when she saw Blacktooth at the entrance. Her lungs were burning with every breath, she had punched herself to her limit when she had raced to camp. “Blacktooth, it’s Fallingsky! We were heading towards the tundra to hunt and that thing jumped from a tree and chased us!” Her legs felt like they were on fire, but she still urged herself to the camp. "It grabbed Fallingsky while we were running." Fisher: The creature shrieked as it felt claws dig into its back. It repeatedly attempted to swing its head around to snap at the cat, but Fallingsky was just out of reach. Hissing in frustration, the fisher threw itself onto the ground, hitting the forest floor with a heavy thud. It attempted to dislodge the cat as it blindly snapped and clawed. It’s inexperience was on full display, but it’s determination and recklessness still proved to be a threat. When it eventually was able to wiggle away from the cat, it turned in an attempt to pin down Fallingsky, unaware of the greater threat hiding in the shadows. |

I'll edit it so Sunpaw has said where they were then Sparrowsong will be able to run over to help him out. There is a Lynx (Hollow) that will come help but I'm just waiting for another cat to be there. I have it all on the plot page, very loose plot though and I'm up for changes. They were making their way towards the tundra. I'm actually going to add my map in on the front page!)

"Go inform Redstar! I'll head out to help him" Without a second thought, he dashes out of camp and follows Sunpaw's scent. He should have waited for more cats but he didn't think that part through. He wanted to sink his claws into the fisher.

Sunpaw:
Sunpaw nodded, though her face was flooded with worry. She watched as Blacktooth raced past her after Sparrowsong. Quick on her feet despite how swore they have gotten, she raced to Redstar's den, not hearing Darkclouds protests behind her.
"Redstar!" she cried as she entered his den, forgetting her etiquette. She looked at the red tom who was grooming his pelt, all signs of the bettle healed and hidden. "Fallingsky was attacked!" She explained.
Redstar:
The red tom watched the apprentice enter and was quick to stand. He motioned for the younger cat to move from the den entrance and quickly trotted to the clearing where Darkcloud was ready to give him a briefing of what happened. "Go follow them, everyone else is to stay here. We don't know if it's the same one." His voice was a hushed whisper though he knew others were growing restless. Without making a formal announcement, he firmly addressed the concerns as Darkcloud chased after Blacktooth. "One of you take Blacktooth's position at the entrance. I want everyone on alert until everyone has returned. Kits and elders are to stay in their dens. We do not need to be in position for an attack, but pleasantries will have to wait until we've confirmed that the threat is gone." When he gauged that everyone was doing as they were ordered, Redstar turned to Sunpaw "Let's go see Shadowheart, I want you to get those paws taken care of." He mewed as he lead the apprentice to Shadowheart's den. He did not want the rest of the clan to grow more concerned due to how shaken up the young she-cat was.
Darkcloud:
Darkcloud chased after his clanmates, able to see Blacktooth's figure in the distance. He eventually was able to catch up, but kept some distance to prevent an easy ambush. His eye's widened when he saw two clanmates fighting the fisher. He could see it was even more aggressive than it had been previously. Was hunger driving it mad? "Sparrowsong!" He called as he watched the fisher attempt to strike at the she-cat.
Fisher:
The fisher's frustration grew when another pesky cat joined the fight. It howled in pain when the she-cat's fangs bit down onto it's paw. Hissing at the cat, it temperaroly forgot about Fallingsky, and raised a clawed paw to swipe at Sparrowsong, ingonring the other two cats that were closing in. Compared to when it was fighting the large number of cats that were at the camp, the fisher was sure it will fair much better. Drool pooled underneath the creature as it thought of it's next meal.
Hollow:
Hollow's large ears twitched as it watched other cats arrive. They will still need his help, he could sense it. However, the urge to observe remained. Was this truly the clan that he was asked to warn? He was told it was a clan of unnerving bravery and unwavering belief- he must make sure that is true, or it could all be for naught.

Blacktooth reaches the fight and growls at the fisher. He considers on what to do next as he watches the fisher swipe his paw at Sparrowsong. He crouches down and carefully moves to get behind the fisher. His plan was to attack his back and possibly bite the back of his neck.

Shadowheart stood quickly when Redstar and Sunpaw entered the den, “is everything okay?” He asked quickly as eyes searched both of them up and down looking for any obvious injuries.
Fallingsky held onto the fisher as tight as he could, letting out a sigh of relief to see some of the clan showing up. With all of them there was a better chance of defeating the horrible creature and then maybe it will be gone for good. He could feel the fisher starting to flail around as some of the others began attacking it, but Fallingsky just dug his claws in deeper.

I update the fisher when Jasminedusk can reply!) Darkcloud: Darkcloud joined his clanmates, positioning himself at the fisher's flank. Quickly he observed the creature, landing his sights on the injury to it's hind leg. "It's the same one as before." he muttered, almost in disbelief. He had expected the fisher to have ran off, away from Taigaclan territory after what happened at the camp. What was driving it to be so aggressive? Sunpaw: Sunpaw looked up to Shadowheart, her body now shaking as she took everything in. "It got Fallingsky...I didn't do anythinhg, I just ran away and left him." She cried mournfully, unsure if her mentor was alive or dead. She could just remember the yowl he made when he was caught. She knew she wouldn't have been able to help him but part of her wondered what would have happened if she did. Redstar: Redstar gave the apprentice a look of pity. "Fallingsky is a very strong, and brave warrior, and he has three of our very best racing out to support him." He assured the apprentice, crouching slightly to be at her level. "Now, let Shadowheart look at your paws, you ran them raw." He added, wanting to make sure Shadowheart was aware of the situation. When the red tom felt that the apprentice was as okay as she could be, he dismissed himself, heading back to the clearing. He would like to stay with Sunpaw to comfort her, but he was needed by the rest of the clan as well. He put on a brave face, wanting everyone to feel confident. |

Shadowheart watched the leader leave and looked to Sunpaw, “you did what you thought was right. Now let’s see those paws.” He mewed gently to the apprentice, hoping to ease some of the guilt that he could see in her eyes. As she lifted a paw he inspected, she really had run her paws raw. Shadowheart took a few steps to reach his medicine cabinet, searching and shuffling through each herb. He grabbed some Dock leaves and crouched beside Sunpaw, beginning to chew the herb into a poultice. “Put one of your paws here as I chew this.”
Fallingsky flashed a glare at Sparrowsong, “that’s going to help so much!” He snapped at the she-cat, who was she to tell him what to do? Looking for an escape route he noticed a branch he could leap on, if Sparrowsong wanted him to sheath his claws, then he would. It would now be her problem. Fallingsky took his chance and leaped for the branch about two tail lengths from him. As he reached the branch the bark began to crumble and he could feel himself slipping, but he was able to find a better grip and heaved himself onto the branch. He let out a sigh of relief and caught his breath as he watched the fisher.

(check out the plot page if you are confused!- i'll update it now)
Sunpaw nodded and did as the medicine cat said, her eyes however looked as though she was already mourning the loss of her mentor. What if she hadn’t been fast enough? She watched as Shadowheart place the substance on her paws, wincing as he touched them.
The moment Fallingsky release his grip, the Fisher turned and snapped at Blacktooth and Darkcloud. Desperate, it swiped, managing to graze Darkcloud with one of it's long claws.
Darkcloud hissed and backed away, still waiting for an opening to attack, but the creature was moving so wildly that he was unable to find a sure opening. He knew that it would only take one power bite from the beast to send a cat to starclan. He shook his coat, droplets of crimson blood blending with the pines beneath him. Luckily, the injury was mild, but the pain still made the tom wince.
When Darkcloud back away, the fisher turn it's attention to Blacktooth, charging at the tom. With a scream-like howl, it leapt at the grey tom, attempting to grab him as it had Fallingsky. When it was only a tail's length away, it was crushed under a large form of silver fur. The creature growled and hissed, attempting to fight it's attacker, but it was silenced by a single, loud snap- it's brown body now limp. A large silver lynx now stood over the body of the fisher, it's pale, green eyes seeming to study the cats. It sat down, licking blood from it's lips, then waited for the the next actions of the cats, it's gaze opposing, but also unworldly.

(Hey guys! I’m planning to make a tom who is a real jerk and I’m looking for someone to rp his ex-mate with whom he had kits shortly after becoming warriors. They will have a very frosty and unpleasant relationship. And they would be around 25 to 30 moons. Does anyone have a cat fit for this role or is someone willing to make a character? If not I’ll make her myself but I think the interactions would be very interesting ^^ )
Dewsong had been working on strengthening the den walls after the fisher’s earlier attack on their camp. When Sunpaw rushed into camp and warriors hurried off she could only pray that nobody would get hurt again by that vile creature. Her blue gaze followed the leader and apprentice as they walked to the medicine cat den. She tried to pick up their words but from where she was standing she could hardly hear a thing. Hopefully Sunpaw’s mentor was okay and hopefully Darkcloud wouldn’t get hurt either. He was so brave throwing himself out there again. The she-cat quickly shook her head to gain clarity again. No! Focus! No time to have your head in the clouds right now.

Blacktooth stood his ground ready to attack the fisher as the creature started running towards him. He readied himself to sidestep and rake his claws against the fisher until the large looking cat comes out of nowhere and attacks it. He looks at the large creature in surprise unsure of what it was exactly.

Just waiting for Fallingsky’s and Sparrowsong’s reactions. I don’t mind making an extra cat if no one has one to spare. I could also age up Echoheart, she hasn’t been developed a lot.)

Fallingsky’s jaw about dropped when he watched the Lynx jump out of the brush and kill the fisher, thank Starclan, or the lynx, whatever. He jumped down from the branch and approached the lynx slowly, “so, did you enjoy watching me practically get killed by that thing.” He mewed bluntly to the large cat with smirk. He was finally able to catch his breath and let out a sigh of relief, the fisher was dead and hopefully no more would be a threat to the clan.

The lynx seemed unbothered by the cats' reactions. It waited until they all seemed to have settled down before speaking, it's voice surprisingly like their own, aside from a slight accent, a clear indication that this was not it's native tongue. "Hollow brings a warning." he said, his voice breaking the silence that filled the forest around them. The battle with the fisher had caused all the nearby animals to flee, not even a song bird remained. The Lynx stood up and looked to each of the cats standing in front of him, his posture refined and relaxed, a stark contrast to the fisher that the cats had been fighting but a moment ago. It was now that the cats could see how large the lynx was, much larger than any that had strayed in the clans territory before. It's coat was an odd silver, which seemed to shift to a white or grey as he moved. "The mountain, it will kill everything. That is what the stars told Hollow to say- to the cats of the forest." He stated, his voice calm. The large feline leaned it's massive head forward pressing it's nose into the brown fur. It soon opened it's jaws and picked up the creature with ease, the fisher seeming small in comparsion. Without a word, it stood and walked away towards the distant mountains, ignoring any attempts to speak with it until it seemed to disappear into the forest of birch and pines.
Darkcloud watched everything wordlessly, he had never seen anything like it. A talking lynx? The stars? His head was spinning. He looked to his clanmates hoping that they too heard and saw what he just did. "Let it leave." He ordered, not wanting the larger, more dangerous animal to attack as well. "We must return to the clan, now." He mewed, wincing as he turned, his shoulder wound was not deep but it certainly hurt. He wordlessly began to race back to camp, unsure if that others would follow. He needed to tell Redstar as soon as possible, and needed the cats with him to testify what he had seen, lest he be considered insane by the clan.

Blacktooth watched the lynx leave and shakes his head. He couldn't make sense of what he tried to tell them. Blacktooth lets out a small soft sigh wishing he had gotten a chance to sink his claws into him. He turns his gaze and begins to follow Darkcloud. "The mountain." He mumbles softly to himself.

Fallingsky wasn’t sure what to think about what just happened and began walking towards camp as Darkcloud told them. Confused and worried about his family he began running through the forest making his way to the camp entrance quickly. Realizing he didn’t bring back any prey as he was supposed to he let out a disappointing sigh.
Shadowheart finished up squeezing the poultice onto Sunpaws paw pads and signaled her to lay in the nest near the medicine cabinet. “Rest for a bit, I’m sure Fallingsky is fine. I’ll find out what happened and I’ll eat you know.” The tom mewed before exiting the den, hoping to the see the rest of the cats back soon.

(I'll just go ahead with the camp stuff)
When they reached camp, Darkcloud felt a wave of relief, he hadn't realized how shaken up he had gotten. Taking a deep breath, the tom calmed himself and stepped forward into the camp. As soon as his paw touched the clearing, he could feel the eyes of the whole clan focused on the group. He motioned a nearby warrior over, and quietly ordered them to go gather the group that had been sent out. He watched as Redstar walked across the clearing to join the four warriors.
The red tom inspected eat cat before turning away, his bushy tail flicking once. "To my den, all of you." He said quietly, urging them to be silent until they were away from the others. Any cat that was still staring was given a gentle, but stern look, indicating that he was expecting them to continue as they were. He made eye contact with Shadowheart to silently order the medicine cat to follow as well. Once they were all seated behind the redwood, just outside his den and out of the range of curious ears, the leader sat. "I will have Fallingsky tell me what happened." He stated, glancing to the warrior, ignoring any words from the others until he was happy with the response.
Echoheart and the other warriors that had gone to chase away the creature returned to camp, many of them confused as to what happened. Echoheart, upon hearing news of Sunpaw, rushed to the medicine cat den to comfort her kit.

Dewsong watched the group of cats return into camp with a curious blue gaze. They looked somewhat shaken up. Did they really see the fisher again? What happened? She guessed she'd have to wait until Redstar would make an announcement to get all the information. Quickly she put the last finising touches on the den.
---
Thornfang rolled his eyes and grumbled under his breath as he saw Echoheart run up to the medicine cat den to comfort Sunpaw. How was their daughter supposed to stand on her own legs when her mother babied her so much? His striped tail lashed behind him with annoyance.
----
Frogwhisker quietly followed what was going on with the patrol that returned from her spot near the warrior's den. Her paws were tucked under her body and her tail was tightly wrapped around her. She hoped they had taught the fisher a lesson for rummaging through their camp.

Fallingsky sat down as everyone had looked at him for the story, he took a deep breath and began, “I took Sunpaw with me to go hunting so we were hunting and then we heard a huge branch crack and pine cones started falling. When we looked up the fisher was in the tree and my first instinct was to run-“ he paused and took another deep breath before continuing. “The fisher chased us and got ahold of my foot, that’s when Sunpaw ran to the camp for help and I was fighting that ugly creature.” Fallingsky let out a long sigh after finally finishing the story, hoping no one would ask him any questions. He was anxious to leave the den and let Sunpaw know he’s okay, and see his kits.

Fallingsky had Redstar's full attention as the cat spoke, occasionally nodding. "Your kits and apprentice are fine." He told Fallingsky, indicating to the cat that he had no intention on letting the cat leave until he was happy with all the information that was provided. He gave Shadowheart a glance, to confirm that Sunpaw was indeed fine. The red tom let out a slow breath, thinking of what to ask next. "Then I'm assuming it was chased off?" He mewed, looking to Darkcloud.
Darkcloud shook his head, glancing to his fellow warriors to indicate that he will need them all to support him as he spoke. "It's dead, a lynx saw to that."
"A lynx?!" Redstar stood quickly, his expression grave. A lynx was much smarter than a fisher, it could easily pick off half the clan if they did not prepare.
"It was friendly....I believe. It spoke our tongue." Darkcloud added. He glanced to the others, hoping for someone to agree to what he was saying. He could see Redstar looked as if the black tom had just spoken in some unknown language. The dark tom decided it would be best to wait for the support of the others before moving along with the telling of the incident.

Shadowheart signaled to Fallingsky that Sunpaw was indeed alright. He listened closely to the rest of the story and looked at Darkcloud, “a lynx.. you say it spoke our tongue, what did it say to you?” He asked the tom curiously, this had to be some sort of sign.
Fallingsky nodded as Darkcloud told the story, “it’s true, I couldn’t believe it.” He said after the deputy had spoken, thinking back to the lynx. It saved their lives and gave a strange piece of advice, he was sure if they told Shadowheart he could help them sort it out. The message was important, but Fallingsky didn’t feel like giving the message to everyone. He eye balled Darkcloud, trying to remain as silent as he could.
