GloryClan RP (only to those who signed up :) )

Tornpaw coughed and mewed "I'm... okay," she rolled over to show some scratches down her stomach from the dog; blood dribbled from them but they weren't deep. She got up unsteadily and watched her mentor Leafheart leap into battle. Every instinct told her to join. But she licked Twistedpaws cheek instead "Are you hurt?" she asked.

Blueleaf was dropped to the ground and stepped on by the dog before it ran away. She got up slowly and leaned on Solareclipse's shoulder for soport

His sides heaved, but he was long trained to ignore pain and fatigue. Twistedpaw would fight untill collapsed if need be. He merely nodded to show he was alright. He swiped his salmon colored tongue across her ear before spinning and jumping at the nearest dog. He clung to its fur, but this one seemed more wild. He fell from it, and dove beneath it. Emerging on the other side he slashed at its muzzle, just as it was snapping at him. Its jaws encased around Twistedpaw's foreleg, but not with much force. It was only to hold Twistedpaw in range while it repositioned, quickly lunging to force its jaws around his neck. Twistedpaw choked, clawing at its features to try and loosen its grip.

Tornpaw leaped and latched onto the dogs legs. She clamped down into its flesh and dug in with her claws to get a better hold. The she-cat bit down harder until she felt bone. The dog kept a good grip on Twistedpaw and shook it's left leg trying to dispatch the cat. When that didn't work it dropped the tom and ducked down its head to grasp the she-cats scruff in it's mouth. It lifted it's head to show the cat screeching in it's jaws; dangling by its scruff. The dog began to shake the cat viscously it's eyes gleaming with fury. Tornpaw screeched her eyes flailing wildly. The apprentices eyes began to roll back in her head.

Twistedpaw's ivory throat and chest fur were stained crimson, blood dribbling from the gashes torn into his pelt. He felt dizzy and the world tipped on its axis, but if there was one thing that kept him on his paws, it was knowing that Tornpaw was not yet safe. He gathered himself, squinting his eyes in focus then leapt forward with all of his remaining might. His claws dug into the dog's eye, the tom hissing and snarling as he dug in. His hind legs scrabbled for support along the dogs neck and shoulders.

The dog dropped the unmoveing cat and stepped back yelping and howling. It shook away the tom and howled retreat! The dog looked up and turned following there leader out. There tails streaming behind them they disappeared into the forest.

Tornpaw hit the ground with a dull thud. The apprentice landed awkwardly her limbs sprawled out. Blood gushed from the wounds on in her scruff, her eyes closed, and jaws open.

Twistedpaw fell from the dog, blood welling from his wounds. Even so, he pulled himself over to the albino she, outstretched on the ground beside her. Crimson life oozed from him in a small pool around his chest, and his paw prodded her shoulder. "Tornpaw!" His voice was strained and masked by the blood he was choking on, and his head was rested on the ground beside hers. His tongue rasped over her muzzle, trying to get a response.

Tornpaw didn't move she only had a few breaths left. The dog had shaken the life out of her.

Badgertooth stumbled over her eyes dark and her fur tattered. Blood gushed from her left shoulder "She's dead, Twistedpaw." the warrior said softly.

Solareclipse looked over; his pelt was clumped with blood. A deep slice was across his muzzle and would undeniably be a scar. He padded over slowly "I'm sorry, Twistedpaw."

Turtlepaw was bleeding from a wound across his neck and a bite was on his back. He went over even his eyes conveyed sorrow "She fought like a warrior." he mewed softly.

Twistedpaw shook his head, disbelieving. He pulled himself nearer, placing his ear by her muzzle. Where was the oxygen? He stared at her in fear, the feeling in his chest far worse than his severe wounds. Physical pain was nothing compared to this. He dragged his tail over her shoulders, silently willing her awake.

Badgertooth touched him with her tail "You can't change the fact that this happened, it was her time to join StarClan."

Solareclipse tried to move the medicine cat apprentices body away.

Turtlepaw had a glint of humor in his eyes and of utter hate. He narrowed his eyes at Twistedpaw who will want you now? He didn't dare to say anything hurtful around the warriors though. He sat down and wrapped his tail around his paws.

As Twistedpaw choked on his own blood he glared at Solareclipse. Though his eyes were narrowed, true pain reflected in them. He loved this she cat, and couldn't believe she was dead. The whole idea was just impossible! The blood loss and stress finally caught up with the tom, and his eyes closed. His breath came softly, the only thing indicating he was alive. Physically alive, at least. Twistedpaw had died there with Tornpaw, now he succumbed to sleep as a hollowed shell.

Solareclipse moved the body away and placed her in the middle of camp for vigil. He closed his eyes as he started to cry...

Badgertooth close dher eyes realizing her final kit was dead... her heart ached horribly. She glanced down at Twistedpaw and mewed "I know how you feel."

Turtlepaw smiled as he realized that Twistedpaw was truely broken...

Tornpaw awoke in StarClan... Hazelkit and Finchkit sat around her; their eyes sad but revealed a glimpse of hope "Tornpaw. you saved your Clan. Yet, your duty is not yet done." Tornpaw tipped her head "What do you mean?" she asked. The StarClan cats mewed "A small flitter of life remains within you. We have sent Twistedpaw message trying to tell him... if they nurture that small life light inside you, you should survive."

Badgertooth's words fell upon deaf ears, the apprentice passed out in his puddle of blood.

Hazelkit and Finchkit appeared before Twistedpaw they mewed to him "A small flitter of life remains within her... if the Clan nurtures that small life light inside her, she should survive."

Twistedpaw jerked awake at the words, stumbling to his paws. He staggered across to Tornpaw. "You have to help her!" He slurred, coughing blood at his paws.

Tornpaw took a small breath.

Solareclipse leaped backwards his pelt fluffed out "AHHH!" he screeched.

Badgertooth ran over "LEAFHEART!" she called loudly.

Turtlepaw hissed at Twistedpaw "I guess today was your lucky day!"

Twistedpaw's head spun, but he smiled briefly. He fell down onto his haunches where he stood, fearing that if he moved around much more the blood loss would catch up to him.

Tornpaw rolled around slowly to meet his eyes "Twistedpaw?"

Blueleaf Looked at the apprentice's and purred

Solareclipse pressed his side against Blueleaf; he was also purring.
