(Here! Thanks for being patient with our absence. ^^) - - FlamewhiskerFlamweshisker was just about to go get Duskstorm when he scurried by. Okay, well... job well done, he thought with some curiosity when he thought about how fast he ran by. He gave him a flick of his ear and a somewhat confused look before seeing his prey and offering a congratulatory head nod on a good catch. I hope these cats don't think they can just leave, he thought with some worry. How was he coming across to these cats? - - Tawnyclaw Tawnyclaw heard the faint rumble of Rosebriar's stomach and shifted her gaze onto the cat. She heard a small snap in the near distance, and picked up the appetizing scent of... a rabbit perhaps? She turned to Rosebriar with a stern expression and flicked her tail to indicate that she wanted the she-cat to follow. She began to pad silently in the direction of a large bush where she was zeroing in on the scent. Rosebriar saw Tawnyclaws signal and followed her. As she did she caught the scent of rabbit and swung around the opposite side of the bush to hopefully block the rabbits exit. Then she heard heard the call that there were foxes. She might have been shy and a hunter but there was no way she would back down and let anyone get hurt protecting her. |

Maplefall padded cautiously around the plants, anxiously sniffing at each one. They were fine--just as they had been the last three times she'd checked--but one could never be too careful, and anyway she wasn't in the mood to find out one of her plants had suddenly died. No matter how improbable that was. Pretty improbable. But.
She did another round, letting the feeling of leaves brushing her fur soothe her. The familiar musty smell of herbs never failed to refresh her, to make her eyes narrow in pleasure.
She enjoyed her time alone with the plants before finally convincing herself that they were okay and she could go find something to eat or do quickly enough no flash plant poison or crazed rabid mouse would be able to wreck the herbs. Sighing, she gave the plants one last glance--just making sure they hadn't mutated or been destroyed in the last six seconds--and padded out of the room.
(Feel free to bump into Maplefall!)

Icefang was patrolling the royal tower when he saw king Stoneheart approaching the royal tower. He immediately stopped patrolling to go to the door and wait for the king.

She shook her left paw, which was hurting badly, and strained against the urge to show she was in pain. |

Rosebriar growled at the horrid smell of the foxes. She looked around to follow the lead of the older cats.

((*crawls out of the earth* hey everyone thanks for ur patience i was moderating an art class c'  ) Fox 1The fox bolted after Duskstorm, snapping at his tail. It was caught by surprise by Flamewhisker's attack and snarled as the cat's claws raked his cheek. It turned to face Flamewhisker and lunged for his face. Fox 2Fox 2 followed its companion, but stopped when it saw the rest of the patrol. It bared it teeth threateningly at Thunderheart, Rosebriar, Tawnyclaw, Aspenwhisker, and Pebblesong.ThunderheartThunderheart stepped in front of the hunters and snarled, his hair standing on end. He leapt at the fox . . . and was grabbed the neck, shaken vigorously, and thrown aside. He crashed into the bristly plants and lay still, too disoriented to move. ----------- StoneheartStoneheart paused when he saw Icefang. He nodded his head to the white tom. "Hello, Icefang," he said. "I apologize for leaving so suddenly, I just . . . needed some fresh air." |

Duskstorm span and rushed to help Flamewhisker, releasing a vicious yowl and leaping onto the Fox's back, digging his claws into its shoulders and biting its ear, shaking his head.

{Sorry for my day-long absence!}
Pebblesong | Heath - Fox Attack
Pebblesong darted towards Thunderheart, standing in front of him and turning to face the fox. The fur on the back of her neck stood on end. She flicked her tail threateningly before glancing back to ensure the guard was doing alright. Afraid to turn away from the fox, she nudged him gently with her tail. Her narrowed green eyes remained focused on the second fox, watching its movement as she unsheathed her claws.

Maplefall squinted at the young she-cat, noticing how she favored one paw, and leaned closer. "Fox, are you hurt?" She darted her eyes up to see how Fox was trying not to grimace. "What happened? We should get you some herbs--" she already began herding the young cat toward the herb garden. |

(It's fine, Hawkclaw. ) - - Flamewhisker Flamewhisker felt everything happen at once. Thunderheart was thrown to the side, the fox attacked him, Duskstorm leaped onto it's back, Rosebriar was stammering, and he barely had the time to dodge, which he used to hesitate and drown in the confusion of the sudden turn of events. When the large paw of the fox made contact with his cheek, he felt the sharp claws carve perfect bloody streaks into his face as the world moved in slow motion. Then he jumped to the side, and the world was too fast again. He darted back and made a fast swipe for the creature's shoulder. |

((Welcome back Hawkclaw!))
Fox 1
The fox yelped and began jumping and swerving, trying to shake Duskstorm off. When Flamewhisker scratched its shoulder, it yelped and started kicking wildly in his direction, all the while craning its neck to snap at the cat on its back.
Fox 2
The fox snapped at the hunters, hoping to toss them aside like it did to Thunderheart.
Thunderheart
Thunderheart started to catch his breath and the sounds of the battle drifted into his awareness. He tried to get up, but his fur was caught in the thin branches he had landed in. He started clawing at the shrub with his hind legs and slowly tried to struggle to his feet.

- - Dewfern
Voices down the hall became clear to Dewfern, but distant yowls of battle were also being heard in the distance. Ooh, I don't know which thread to follow, she thought, reveling in the realization that she had two interesting things available for once. She eventually decided to abandon the supposed battle in the Heath and pad over to the other side of the room and press her ear up to the door. She heard her father, who sounded... different. And by different she meant slightly normal. He was talking to Icefang. Oh, this is going to be boring, isn't it? She sighed slightly, but kept her ear against the door.
Dewfern knew it was impolite to eavesdrop on cats, but when you're locked in your room for as many moons as she had, you cease to care about little things like that. It was weird to have Icefang here since he wasn't part of the family. He had always been in her life and he was extremely loyal, but it felt strange since he hadn't been exposed to cats outside of the tower for a long while. Like a violation of her own little world. Maybe I'm a little scared of the world too... She shook the thought off.

Pebblesong
Pebblesong lowered her body to the ground, hissing up at the fox. She wanted to allow Thunderheart enough time to recover before doing much, as she wasn't confident in her fighting skills. Her stance served as protection for the guard until he was able to fight again. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep them alive.

((Foxes are attacking the patrol; Duskstorm and Flamewhisker are fighting the first fox, everyone else is fighting the second fox, and Thunderheart got KO'd immediately but is trying to save face))
Fox 2
The fox's jaws snapped shut just above Pebblesong's ear. It started to bite at her again, but instead let out a high-pitched yelp as Rosebriar clawed its side. It turned around and tried to grab Rosebriar by the tail.
Thunderheart
Thunderheart felt blood drip onto his paws and realized he had a wound on the side of his neck from the fox's grip. Hearing the battle, he decided to ignore his injuries as best he could--after all, his job was to protect them, not the other way around. He thrashed against the shrubs and finally broke free, twigs entangled in his fur as he shakily rose to his feet.
-------------
Stoneheart
Stoneheart sighed quietly. "Just tell me my daughter's still safe," he said.

Pebblesong
Pebblesong yelped in shock, immediately jumping back from the fox. She quickly glanced back and noticed Thunderheart rising, giving her confidence to turn back to the fox. A snarl erupted from her jaws as the fox turned to Rosebriar. The she-cat lept towards the fox, outstretching her claws as she aimed for the fox's shoulder.

He let go of it's ear and sunk his fangs into its neck instead, tearing at the fur. |

(Hi Hawky!)
- - Tawnyclaw
Tawnyclaw hissed at the fox when she saw it whirl around to face Rosebriar. She dashed in to make an attack on the fox, and made an attempt to bite at the fox's leg, being as quick as she could.
- - Dewfern
Oh father, Dewfern thought with a tinge of sadness. Why do you worry so much? Don't you know that nothing could ever happen to me without you knowing about it? Am I not the safest cat in the world? She sighed a long sigh. This was the opposite of what she wanted to hear. She sat up and stepped away from the wall. Of course listening in on royal conversations would just make me sadder. It's my father. She padded over to the window and returned to listening to the yowls and shouts of battle, hoping she wasn't becoming a downer too, but realizing her day always just got depressing near the evening mealtime. She just tried to focus on positive things and wonder what the cats were doing on the patrol.

Maplefall held out her tail to stop the younger cat and leaned down. "I'm going to pull it out, if it's okay." She lifted Fox's paw and squinted at the thorn. "That looks a lot like it hurts. It'll probably hurt coming out, but you'll feel much better after it's out." She began licking the paw around the thorn. |

- - Fox 1
The fox yowled and rolled onto its side, hoping to slam Duskstorm into the ground and crush him under its weight.
- - Fox 2
The fox took its chance while Tawnyclaw was close to it and sank its teeth into her flank--but when Pebblesong clawed at its shoulder, it yelped and let go of Tawnyclaw, taking a swipe at Pebblesong instead. It began to realize it didn't stand a chance against this many cats and backed up, bristling and baring its teeth.
- - Thunderheart
Thunderheart took an unsteady step forward and tried, once again, to put himself in front of the hunters, but he knew it was pointless--they were about to win, in spite of him.

Duskstorm released a loud yowl of pain as his leg was twisted beneath the fox, desperately trying to drag himself away, ears flat against his head and fur standing on end. The pain was unbearable, and he knew he wouldn't be able to stand on it for a while.
