It wasn't long and they had crossed over the Fallen Oak and into Hare Meadow. By the time they had made it to the foxes den the last of the sunlight was fading away and the half-moon was starting to rise in the sky. Moss-star slowed and twitched her tail for the patrol to stop. She sniffed the air experimentally and came to the conclusion that the foxes were not home, but that didnt tell her where they were. "Winterpaw, I would like for you to keep watch. The foxes could return at any moment. The rest of you can help me fill the hole back in." With her orders now given she wanted to get the job done and be back before moonhigh. Her joints were aching from their trek across their territory, and before moving any further the old she-cat stretched each of her once full muscular limbs.
Winterpaw was glad to know that Oceanfeather had the same thoughts as him and when they reached the foxes den all the tom could think about was the strong stench that the foxes had made by marking the grass all around them. Having his orders he nodded and looked at the rest of the cats before turning and looking for a good spot to keep watch at. A couple of tail lengths away was a small scraggly tree just big enough for the tom perch where the two main limbs split. Trotting quickly towards it he awkwardly clawed his way up the skinny tree and started scanning the tall grass for the russet creatures to appear under the gaining moonlight.

Oceanfeather looked over at the pacifist that was Fallowleaf, "You need to be honest with yourself. All of us do! We need to understand that with Moss star in charge we are in a border crisis. How can we trust her when she won't look out for us?" Oceanfeather was getting pumped now, looking between every cat she spoke in front of. She kept her voice raised enough to around authoritative and confident. "She is old, we should all know that too. There is a time in one's life where they become incapable of serving their designated duty, Moss star is well past that age." Oceanfeather was ready for the arguments that might come her way. Not only did Oceanfeather have an ambition to rule, she wanted to save the Clan from Moss star and put them under better leadership.

Fallowleaf followed behind Iceberry and started to do the same. "This is absolutly rediculous. Im going to have dirt caught under claws and in my pelt for days", she complained quietly to Iceberry as she looked down at the moist dirt. With her long thick fur it took twice as long to get anything out of it, including dirt. For the first time in a long time she wished she had short fur instead of long fur.
Moss-star finished stretching and went and joined the other she-cats, her eyes glancing around warily. The stench of fox was strong and as she started to kick the dirt back into the hole she hoped that Winterpaw would keep a good eye out just in case the foxes decided to return.
Winterpaws muscles soon started to ache making him fidgety, which wasn't helpful cause the tree was so small that it would shake every time he moved. Finally finding a more comfortable position he looked to the sky and found that the moon had risen halfway to moon-high. Looked down at his clan-mates he could see that they were almost done filling in the hole. Sighing with relief that it was almost over he looked back out across the meadow. He hadn't started scanning the meadow but for a second when something moving towards them caught his eye. Widening his eyes he scented the air and sure enough the two figures carried the harsh scent of fox. Quickly leaping down to the ground he raced over to Moss-star. "The foxes they are coming back!", his meow was full of alarm and his white pelt fluffed up in anticipation of the battle that was about to occur.

Oceanfeather looked over at Winterpaw with anger in her blue eyes, "Shut up Winterpaw they're not supposed to know we're here!" She whispered shouted. Her fur rising along her back, not just at Winterpaw but at the fact that the foxes were close. And it was all because of Moss star. She hissed quietly in frustration before nudging the others to pay attention to what Winterpaw said and run. She grabbed Winterpaw by the scruff, her teeth sinking in harder then she meant. Oceanfeather scrambled up a tree nearby the den of the foxes. Winter paws weight hurt her neck, he needed to lose a couple more pounds. The foxes were gaining speed, they had obviously heard the too loud alert from Winterpaw. Apprentices made her mad most of the time. Winterpaw wasn't awful, but annoying all the same.

Moss-star unsheathed her claws at the alarming warning. She could see the grass moving up ahead and knew that it was too late to make a run for it. There were know big trees close by to escape up, and they couldn't outrun a pair of foxes in the open field. "Have no fear", she meowed to her clanmates just as the large creatures came into view. As soon as the foxes seen the cats they both growled and the biggest of the two, probably the male, barked at them before diving straight at Moss-star. The clan leader may have been old but she was a very seasoned warrior and she wasnt about to go down without a fight. Sliding out of the way the shecat hissed and raked her claws at the foxes face. She could feel the flesh tear beneath her claws and blood splattered her pelt. The scratch made the fox yelp and jerk its face back before diving into the group of cat jaws snapping ferociously.
Fallowleaf was on the outter edge of the group and when the male fox attacked Moss-star she was forced to focus on the smaller female fox which way trying to sneak its way to her side to attack. "Winterpaw, stand with me", She ordered as she faced the other fox growling like a creature from hell. Winterpaw came to Fallowleafs side and together they circled with the fox trying to figure out when the best time to attack was. Fallowleaf could hear small yelp from the other fox and apparently so did the fox they were facing. Just as the fox turned to see if its comrade was okay Fallowleaf leapt forwards and landed on the top of the foxes head. Biting down on and ear the she-cat sank her claw into its pelt balancing herself inbetween its ears at the back of its head. Growling she shook her head tearing the foxes ear to shreds as she tried to claw for its eyes.
Winterpaw watched at his clan-mate saw her opportunity to strike and before throwing himself at one of the foxes hind legs he sent a prayer up to Starclan for safety for all the cats in the battle.

{{ OOC: Ooops sorry I didnt see your post @blubberywhales but lets just say they stayed on the ground cause there really was no avoiding them.
And @cookiecollecter94 Stormgaze is good but you'll need to change up Heatherstripe. Grassclan borders Tangleclan to the west so there cant be two Heatherstripes lol }}

Iceberry saw her leader take on the larger fox, and the white she cat bristled, leaping forwards, clawing the canine with a vicious snarl as it backpedaled at Moss-Stars attack, hitting from behind. The russet creature whirled around, snapping its jaws, biting down on the she cats paw. She let out an angry yowl of pain, trying not to let her panic set in. The young warrior wasn't the most experienced with fighting other animals besides cats, this being her downfall.

{{OOC: Alrighty both accepted Welcome to Tangleclan here is a quick update. Moss-star, Iceberry, Fallowleaf and Winterpaw are out in Hare Meadow dealing with two foxes. The rest of the cats are back at camp. It is early mid leaf-fall. The time of day is halfway to moon-high so obviously night time. Most of the cats in the clan are upset with Moss-stars leadership and are ready for her to retire and a younger cat to take control, may that cat be Timberfall the deputy or any cat willing to challenge him for leadership over the clan. }}

{{ Well from what I know. Cavegrowl want to be mates with Oceanfeather and I think the feeling is mutual, we are just waiting for it to play out. Timberfall is hardcore crushing on Iceberry. Viperfang is a queen with three or four unbirthed kits, mate is unknown unless you want one of your to be her mate. Other than that I think thats all thats going on crush wise. }}

Falconwing sweetclover1 okay!) Heatherstripe licked her paws as she felt an itch on her fur. She started to scratch herself, but was irritated by this particular itch on her fur. Heatherstripe growled in frustration and decided to go to Stoneshadow's medicine cat den. "Hey Um, Stoneshadow, I believe I have some fleas I earned from a hunting patrol.", mewed the embarrassed warrior to the cat. Stormgaze went into the nursery and saw Viperfang. "Hey Viperfang.", purred the tom as he showed a swift smile to the queen. The gray tom laid beside her, but not too close, and waited for her reoly. His blue eyes examined her.

After eating and sharing tongues with Willowpaw, Viperfang had fallen asleep outside in the camps clearing with Willowpaw curled up beside her. The queen would have probably slept there through the night but with it halfway to moon-high and it being the middle of leaf-fall a chill had set in the air and her clan-mates warmth was not enough. She nosed her friend awake, "I'm going to head to the nursery for the night, why dont you go to your den so you dont get cold." Viperfang knew the young cat wasnt as cold as she was due to her longer pelt but she nosed the young cat up and watched her walk slowly with tired paws to the medicine cats den. Taking a couple of steps to the nursery she changed her mind and headed to the fresh kill pile seeking a small snack.

Willowpaw purred a sleepy greeting to her mentor Stoneshadow, and Goldenleaf who were hovering near the mouth of the Medicine Cats den. "Is there anything you need of me before I turn in for the night", the long haired pale grey she-cat mewed as she did her best to blink the sleep from her eyes just incase he had a task for her.
After quickly devouring a half-sized mouse, probably the catch of a new apprentice, feeling that it filled her up perfectly the queen retired to the nursery. As she was laying down trying to get comfortable within her nest she heard the friendly greeting of Stormgaze. A purr sounded in her throat at the welcomed guest just as she settled down. "Hi Stormgaze, how was the prey running today?", she questioned the tom curiously. In the queens heavy state she hadn't left the Tangled Hollow in days due to the feeling that it wouldn't be long and she would have her kits. Viperfang couldn't wait to hurry up and have her kits for her paws itched to run through the forest and feel the thrill of a hunt. As she thought about it her claws played with the moss and feathered nest that she laid in.

FalconwingStormgaze's gray fur ruffled a bit and puffed up a bit as he heard her reply. Smiling, the tom replied," Good actually Viperfang. How are you, if I may ask?" He wanted to try to use fancy words, to sound like he was a good warrior and deputy materiel to her and the other cats. Stormgaze's blue eyes looked down at his gray paws. He started grooming his gray fur and gave a sigh.

"Ugghh Im so ready to get back on my paws and to my warrior duties. I get bored just laying around all day. Dont get me wrong I'm excited to have kits but I love being a warrior", the brown tabby she-cat said in a relaxed tone as she stretched out and pushed her paws playfully on the tom to show that she highly welcomed his company. "That and it gets lonely seeing that I'm the only queen at the moment", Viperfang added as she rolled on her back, showing her swollen belly.

FalconwingStormgaze mewed," Oh I understand Viperfang. I know if I was a queen, I would be bored and be a warrior instantly again. So, maybe to get you up on your feet, want to take a walk Viperfang with me?" The gray tom flashed a quick smile at the queen as he saw her swollen belly. He blushed at seeing it and quickly glanced away finding that disrespectful to look at her belly. " Well one day there will be another queen Viperfang.", mentioned Stormgaze.

Viperfang stifled a small laugh when she notice the tom look at her belly and then quickly look away. It didn't bother her none that he looked at it. Having kits was just part of life and she knew that her belly wouldn't be swollen for forever. "Ah yes a walk would be lovely! I havn't gone out of the hollow lately due to my state mainly just cause I don't want to be alone just in case anything happens." With that said she got to her paws and waited for him to lead the way.

Falconwing" Lets go then Viperfang. I'll lead the way okay, but lets go to the hollow since you mentioned it?", purred Stormgaze as he got up and took a quick stretch and gave a quick smile again to Viperfang. Stormgaze's muscles showed and hoped the queen did not took a good glance at t, he felt uncomfortable for a queen to look at his muscles, especially if they ha a mate,but Viperfang did not. Stormgaze smiled and waited for the queen to get up, so they could leave..

{{ The hollow is in reference to Tangle Hollow which is where the clans camp is located... which is where they are currently at }}
The queen quickly got to her paws and shook her the moss bedding from her pelt. She moved out of the nursery and gave a quick look up at the Silverpelt. The sky was clear and the stars were bright, it is the perfect night for a night walk. Viperfang then looked to Stormgaze and waited for him to lead the way.

Falconwing yup I know i gtg bye ] Stormgaze purred softly," It is really beautiful tonight Viperfang." The tom continued walking towards the Tangle Hollow, his tail swished on the ground softly touching the ground. Stormgaze smiled a bit and continued heading to te Tangle Hollw. He looked at Silverpelt.
