A Dangerous Way The soft breeze of moonlight drifted by with a great aroma of mouse and rabbit. Fireheart walked up to the fresh-kill pile and scooped up a mouse in his jaws. He trotted over until he was underneath the little, green bush where he liked to eat. As he nibbled on the mouse, his mate and also the leader of Howlclan, Thornstar, walked up to him. Her amber eyes were drifting with affection. She lied down next to Fireheart and licked his flame colored pelt. She began to take a bite out of the mouse too, until she heard a rustle in the bush far away from them. They both quickly got up and stood beside the creek and saw Wingclan coming out of the bushes. Thornstar yowled for her clan to get in a battle line. Wingclan, who were the intruders, got in their battle line as well. Deerstar, the leader of Wingclan right in the middle. Thornstar spat, "Deerstar, how dare you come in our territory. Get out or you will loose some warriors tonight. Deerstar chuckled, "Fool, you think you'll win this? It's time we get our territory back! "As you wish," Thornstar replied with a tint of dark happiness in her voice, "Howlclan! Attack!" Fireheart leaped at the closest warrior and fastened his fangs deep into her leg. He twisted, until he heard a snap, then as quick as a flash, he leaped onto her back and digged his teeth deep into her throat until he tasted blood. He then let go and kicked her away. He saw in the corner of his eyes Thornstar, who had pinned Deerstar down by her neck. She had her paw firmly on her neck. Deerstar wiggled out of her grip and slidded under, Fireheart quickly raced to help but was battered away from a muscular brown pelted tom. Fireheart showed no mercy, how dare these cats attack! He rolled away as the tom tried to jump on him. Fireheart darted under and shredded some fur of his belly using his jagged claws. The tom who was in pain, ran away yelping in pain. Deerstar saw her warriors beginning to run away, she called, "Wingclan, retreat!" She then turned over and sneered at Thornstar, "Don't think this is the last of Wingclan Thornstar. We'll be back," and Deerstar ran away with her clan in front of her limping away. Howlclan yowled their victory, Fireheart padded over to Thornstar and rested his muzzle on her head. The battle was won, Howlclan yet again, has another victory.
