    Lol I just saw ur last post of the ooc thing. Hehe yea I get confused a lot XD and after reading ur post I got so scared....as if I were actually there....


    Wildheart snarled, unsheathing his claws, and clawed at his muzzle. As icegaze yowled angrily, wildheart pushed dawnleaf out of the den, and ran after her. "dawnleaf, run. As far as u can!!" he stood infront of her, protecting her from the surrounding elite cats. He scanned the elites. They were built, and large in size. He cudnt beat them alone, but if it was for dawnleaf, he wud fight, if it meant risking his own life. His gaze then landed on creamclaw, and falconpelt, who were hissing at him and dawnleaf, but the look in their eyes, were full of confusion, worry, and pity. Wildheart, snarling and clawing at every cat that came close, kept his guard til icegaze walked out, a scratch now on his muzzle. "elites." wildheart spat.

    Dawnleaf


    She slid to a stop and turned, tears in her eyes when she saw Icegaze leap at Wildheart. No....no! She shook her head and unsheathed her claws, bolting back toward the ring of cats. With a furious yowl, she leapt over them, paws outstretched for Icegaze. The dark tabby looked up, his ice eyes glazed with hatred. Dawnleaf spat as she felt her claws collide with his fur and, with the strength of the warrior blood pumping through her veins, ripped at his fur. "You.. Leave. Him... ALONE!!!" She spat. Icegaze's anger grew and, as it did, the Elites backed away slowly, knowing that when Icegaze got into a rage, he meant business. (that's his 'ability' XD Rage and FURY! Rage being the more powerful >=P) Icegaze, claws unsheathed, opened his mouth and bit into Dawnleaf's shoulder. The she-cat yowled as he ripped her off him. When he clawed her away from him, she landed and rolled, stopping on her side. She was hissing as she stood, her ears against her head, her fur fluffed up to twice her size.


    Icegaze stalked toward her and Dawnleaf immediately seen the similarities between Falconpelt and Icegaze. Descendent of Tigerstar. She thought bitterly. Icegaze bared his teeth, his own fur fluffed up and his ears back. "You! The one Tigerstar spoke of! The one who will bring the end of Darkstar!" Dawnleaf trembled only once, not wanting to show the Elites she was afraid.(their 'ancestors' are those in the Dark Forest >=P) Icegaze crouched, his muscles rippling under his pelt. "Well, that will not happen!" Dawnleaf's eyes went wide when the massive tabby leapt at her. "Dawnleaf..remember what I taught you. Let your enemy tire himself out." Dawnleaf closed her eyes and leapt to the side, dodging the tabby's attack.


    She continued to dodge until she noticed the tabby tiring. "Now!" Stoneheart hissed in her ear. Dawnleaf leapt, giving a battlecry as she did. When Icegaze shifted, she dodged his paw and swiped at his leg, knocking it out from under him. When she spun around to face him, he yowled to the Elites. "Take them!" He yowled. As one, the Elites closed the circle around Wildheart and Dawnleaf. "Wildheart," She mewed when she saw him bristling. "No. There's too many. Trust in StarClan, Wildheart. They are never wrong." She mewed softly, her eyes meeting Falconpelt's. He blinked and dipped his head, obviously saying: "Don't worry. It's being worked out." Dawnleaf dipped her head in response and looked ahead as the Elites began to herd them toward their camp.

    Wildheart pressed close to dawnleaf, hissing. He whispered quietly do only she cud hear, "thank u. You fought so well. But please, next time save urself. Don't get ur self hurt, or I swear I will die of worry........" he glared at all the advancing elite cats. Then he whispered more urgently, "I do trust in u, dawnleaf, and starclan. I hope things go well."

    Dawnleaf


    She nodded, her ears flat against her head. "We're in this together, Wildheart." She whispered just as the Elite's camp came into view. A tall, oddly shaped mountain loomed ahead of them and above them was a stone arch, stones forming a wide circle around, connecting to the base of the mountains. Icegaze went ahead, the Elites following more slowly. Dawnleaf could hear Icegaze's mew ring around them and flinched. "Darkstar! We have caught intruders!" A dark cackle rose up as the Elite troop stopped in the middle of their camp, not leaving the circle. A dark tabby stepped forward, his amber eyes glaring at the HawkClan cats. "Move, Elite." The elite cats split away from the intruders but stayed close enough to keep them from running. Darkstar approached them, his tail flicking angrily. "How dare you encrouch onto my territory!" He spat, his eyes not leaving the two cats.


    Creamclaw and Falconpelt shared a glance before they silently shifted sides so that they were closer to their friends, their eyes not leaving Darkstar as he continued to hiss at the HawkClan cats. Darkstar narrowed his eyes, looking at first Dawnleaf and then Wildheart, waiting for either cat to speak. Dawnleaf just pressed her pelt against Wildheart's, fear coursing through her.

    Wildheart spat. "that wud be none of ur business. And we were just passing through." Wildheart hissed, calmly glaring coldly back at Darkstar, trying to hide his uneasiness. Wildheart cudnt think of anything better to say, and rather chose to not give anything away, just try to make themselves more innocent. He pressed closer to dawnleaf, and her scent assured him, raising up his confidence. He scanned the whole area. All the cats were big, built, strong looking...... No way cud they fight all of them. Wildheart looked around, looking for nighthawk.

    Dawnleaf


    She cringed when she heard the leader of the Elites yowl the name she hated. "Nighthawk!" The jet black tom stepped forward, the white on his fur gleaming in the sunlight as it rose higher into the sky. "What do you think, Nighthawk? Are they just passing through? Or are they spies?" Nighthawk narrowed his eyes at the HawkClan cats, his eyes glowing unnaturally. "I do not believe the deputy's words, Darkstar. If they were just passing through, where would they be headed? Surely not to the land not settled, for there are dangers there that are beyond them." Darkstar looked back at Wildheart, his head lifted high. "My trusted cat says you are lying." He hissed, taking a threatening step toward them. "And here in the Elites, we have a rule against lying. Nighthawk, advance." The black tom grinned as he stalked toward Dawnleaf, who shrank back against Wildheart's flank, her ears flat against her head, her fur bushed up to twice her size. Her mouth was open and a furious hiss came from her.


    Creamclaw, being close to Wildheart so that the deputy could see him from the corner of his eye, had problems. He took a step toward Nighthawk, as if to challenge the cat but stopped himself, his paws trembling as he remembered the punishment he had endured when Nighthawk told Darkstar of the fresh scent of HawkClan on his pelt. Falconpelt gave a silent hiss, also having difficulties holding himself back. Darkstar cackled and lowered his head. Creamclaw remembered what Stoneheart had told him and, not caring anymore, with a furious hiss, leapt out in front of Dawnleaf and Wildheart, his fur bristling, his claws unsheathed. This sudden movement caused Nighthawk to stop, his own claws unsheathed. "Get out of my way, Creamclaw! Or have you already forgotten your punishment?" Creamclaw tensed but didn't flinch, his eyes hard. "You will not touch her, Nighthawk." He hissed.


    Nighthawk threw his head back in a dark laugh before he looked at the cream tabby. "And what will you do about it!? I don't see any cat standing with you, Creamclaw. You're out numbered!" Falconpelt hissed and leapt to stand beside Creamclaw, his claws unsheathed and his eyes glaring in defiance. "Falconpelt!" Darkstar hissed, his claws flexing against the ground. "Get back in line!" Falconpelt growled, his ears flattening against his head. "No, Darkstar. I was never one of you. And I never will be! I left my Clan because they decided to help you! HawkClan has done nothing to deserve to be wiped out!" Falconpelt spat, his fur bristling. Dawnleaf looked to Wildheart, confusion in her eyes. "Wildheart, why's Creamclaw defending us?! He's one of them!" She hissed under her breath. Stoneheart's voice drifted into Wildheart's ear. "Tell her now, Wildheart. Tell her how Creamclaw is your lost Clanmate." He whispered before his scent vanished.


    Creamclaw's tail lashed from side to side as he stared at Nighthawk. Never again will the Elite harm my Clan. Never again will I break the warrior code. He hissed to himself.

    Wildheart, surprised by falconpelt and Creamclaw, just had to smile. He lifted his head a bit higher, returning a cold look to nighthawk and Darkstar. Yes, Stoneheart. tilted his head, and whispered, "I'm sorry, dawnleaf. Stoneheart came to me and told me about Creamclaw. I didn't like keeping things hidden from you, but the time wasnt right. Dawnleaf, Creamclaw is our long lost warrior. A long time ago, when I was just apprenticed, and Creamclaw had just become a warrior, his father was killed, and he was taken, along with his sister. He was always a hawkclan cat. But because of the elites, he cudnt come back, or escape. He cudnt, not with his sister Skytail in danger. Now, we must fight alongside falconpelt and Creamclaw. But promise me u'll be right close to me. If anything happens to u........" Wildheart could feel anger welling up in his chest, along with pain and worry. He unsheathed his claws, hissing. Oh please, starclan, help us. Help me protect dawnleaf. Help us fight the elites.

    (SOOO EPIC!!! :D)


    Dawnleaf


    She nodded, understanding. "I will stay beside you, Wildheart." She mewed just as Nighthawk spoke once more. "It appears you don't care about your sister anymore, Creamclaw!" Creamclaw lowered his head and let out a hiss, his eyes blazing with a fire that had been kept in check ever since he was forced to do what the Elite had told him. "If you lay a single claw on her, Nighthawk, I swear by StarClan I will rip your fur off!" Creamclaw spat, crouching down, ready to fight. Falconpelt dropped into the same crouch, mirroring Creamclaw's tensed position, as though they were brothers. Dawnleaf, feeling no fear, dropped into the same crouch the two toms were in, her claws unsheathed. I am ready to fight, Stoneheart! She thought, her eyes blazing with hatred. "These cats will pay for what they have done to HawkClan!" She spat out loud. Darkstar threw back his head and gave a battle cry. "ATTACK!!!" He yowled.


    As one, the Elites unsheathed their claws and leapt forward. As one, Creamclaw and Falconpelt met the cats and began to fight, their claws and teeth flashing, their pelts getting stained with the blood of their enemies. Dawnleaf clawed several cats, sending them yowling away from the fight. Darkstar and Nighthawk circled the battle, waiting for their chance to spring and catch their enemies off guard.

    Wildheart had fought along side dawnleaf, falconpelt, and Creamclaw, every so often, he would look around for his mate, just in case. He clawed out at every elite cat, slicng their throats, raking their belly. He caught a movement at the corner of his eye, and noticed Darkstar and nighthawk. Growing, he advanced towards them. "Darkstar, nighthawk!!" he snarled.

    (D: he's not thinking of taking them both on at once, is he?! D:)


    Creamclaw


    He leapt to Wildheart's side, his eyes locked on Darkstar. "You go after Darkstar. I'll take care of Nighthawk." Creamclaw hissed, watching as the two cats advanced toward them. "Nighthawk!" Creamclaw spat, his fur bristling, his eyes blazing. Nighthawk's black pelt wasn't stained at all, neither was Darkstar's tabby pelt. They're fresh... He thought, looking over at Wildheart to tell him the news. "Wildheart! Be careful! They haven't been fighting! They're strong and fresh!" He yowled to the deputy of his Clan.

    Lol no I expected someone to jump in XD


    Wildheart nodded thankfully, glaring at Darkstar. They're also big in size...... He thought. Wildheart yowled, angrily, "Darkstar!!" and advanced closer towards him, his claws waiting to shred his fur to bits. Darkstar snarled, laughing darkly. "you think you and Creamclaw can beat us?? You are only clan cats. We are elites!! How stupid can u be....." (sorry if I'm powerplaying ur cat Darkstar >< ) Wildheart growled, but grinned coldly. "I'll rip u apart, slowly and painfully, just like how u killed other cats. I'll make u regret u ever met me..........." and then he pounced, with Creamclaw beside him.

    (okay, I just got done drawing a picture on my computer and it took FOREVER!! -_- it was a pain in the butt! But it was well worth it cause it turned out sooo fantastically!)


    Creamclaw


    When Wildheart leapt at Darkstar, Creamclaw leapt at Nighthawk. The two cats clashed in midair and landed in a screeching ball of fur and claws. "You will pay for taking me away from my Clan!" He yowled, raking his claws along Nighthawk's pelt. The dark cat grinned and threw Creamclaw off him. As soon as Creamclaw was on the ground, Nighthawk leapt and planted a paw on the cream tabby's neck, holding him to the ground. "You are weak, Creamclaw! You couldn't even save your own father." Creamclaw's pupils slanted and a deep purple color crept over his light amber eyes. "SHUT UP!!" He yowled, pressing his paw against Nighthawk's chest and, with a sudden surge of strength, threw Nighthawk off him. As soon as Nighthawk was off, Creamclaw immediately leapt to his paws and began to run straight at the black cat, who was still trying to regain his balance.


    Darkstar hooked a massive paw under Wildheart's legs, swiping outward. "Ha! You are pathetic!" He hissed, leaping on top of the deputy. Creamclaw bit Nighthawk's neck, causing the dark warrior to yowl with indignation. With a heave, Nighthawk flung the enraged cream tabby off him. Creamclaw landed on his paws, skidding across the ground. When he stopped sliding, he leapt again, not giving his enemy any time to regain his balance. Instantly, they crashed to the ground once more, Creamclaw leaving deep wounds all along Nighthawk's body. With a final heave, Nighthawk ran, leaving the fight. Creamclaw whiped around and ran at Darkstar, ramming the tabby off the deputy. "TOUCH HIM AGAIN AND SEE WHAT I DON'T DO!" He spat, clawing the leader's pelt. Darkstar bit into Creamclaw's leg and threw the tabby away from him.


    Creamclaw, still in a rage, stood, shook himself off and leapt at the leader of the Elites again, this time getting a good hold on him. Forgetting the warrior code nearly altogether, Creamclaw sank his teeth into the Elite leader's neck, biting down hard, causing the tom to struggle underneath him. Falconpelt and Dawnleaf stood back to back, panting as they sent the last of the Elites yowling into the undergrowth. Both of them turned to Darkstar, Wildheart and Creamclaw. Creamclaw and Darkstar struggled for several more moments. Creamclaw slid his claws effortlessly through Darkstar's pelt until the tabby flung the cream tabby off him. Standing on blood-soaked paws, Darkstar faced the four cats. Creamclaw, alongside Falconpelt and Dawnleaf, stalked toward the leader until they had him cornered. "It is over, Darkstar. Your cats have left you." Creamclaw hissed, his voice deeper than normal. Darkstar hissed at them, his eyes frightened.

    Wildheart glared at him furiously. "for what you have done, to other clans, to Creamclaw, to falconpelt......." he felt his claws dig deep into the dirt. Wildheart crouched low, to finish him off with one blow, but stopped. He turned to falconpelt nd Creamclaw. "i think, this one would be ur fight, Creamclaw, falconpelt. After all, he is the one who made u leave ur clan, who killed ur father and used u, threatening to kill ur sister." Wildheart gave one last look at Darkstar, deep, cold anger, and nodded to the two cats, stepping back with dawnleaf. "it's over now."

    (i drew it on the computer XD i can draw on the computer but not on paper -_- that's pretty awkward XD)


    Creamclaw


    He looked at Falconpelt, who nodded. Together as one, the cream tabby and the chocolate tabby leapt as one, their combined weight dragging Darkstar to the ground. Falconpelt held the massive tabby down while Creamclaw looked at the pathetic cat in front of him. "For everything you took away from me....my life, my father...my heart.." He hissed and lunged, sinking his teeth deep into Darkstar's neckfur. The leader, though having 'star' on his name, did not possess the gift of nine lives that StarClan granted to Clan leaders. Within heartbeats, the cruel leader stopped breathing, his eyes closing for good. Creamclaw, once he saw Darkstar dead, released his hold. The purple that had overridden his eyes drained and he returned to himself, breathing hard. He trembled and then sank to the ground, his legs no longer supporting his weight.

    Wildheart quickly padded over to Creamclaw, and muttered, "Creamclaw, you have done well. It's over now, everything. Ur free, we can go back home. Youre real home..... And, look for ur sister. Now rest, we're all exhausted. I will go and hunt." then he turned to falconpelt, who was staring at Darkstar. "falconpelt, will u be going back to ur own clan?? You are always welcome to hawkclan, if u like." Wildheart padded over to dawnleaf, a look of relief. Purring, he licked her cheek. "dawnleaf... I'm so glad ur ok...you've fought well." he nuzzled her, then muttered, "I will go hunting now. We all need some energy and strength. Wait here, dawnleaf. Catch ur breathe for a few minutes."

    Dawnleaf


    She nodded at her mate, laying down. Her claws and paws were stained with the blood of her enemies. Falconpelt lowered his head and sighed. "No. If I return to BoneClan, they will want to know everything that has happened. At least BoneClan's leader will. If I let them know Darkstar is dead, they will want to know who killed him. I won't go back there. They will only find some cat to take Darkstar's place." He mewed and sighed, laying down. "Will Rushstar accept me into HawkClan?" He mewed the question, looking around. Creamclaw smiled weakly and inhaled. "Rushstar is a kind leader. He wouldn't turn any cat down." He mewed. Dawnleaf nodded and yawned.

    A while later wildheart came padding back, exhausted, with a vole, a mouse, and a sparrow. he dropped it infront of the other cats, and nodded for them to eat. "you should all eat. After, we will have to find a place to rest for the night." and he grabbed a mouse, and padded back beside dawnleaf, and collapsed. he gave a small smile to her, licking gently at her blood stained pelt.

    Dawnleaf


    She purred and pawed a vole, not really that hungry after what had happened. But she forced herself to eat it anyway. She looked around and noticed Falconpelt and Creamclaw were the same way. After he had eaten, Creamclaw stood, stretching his limbs, which now supported his weight. "I know a great place. It's a long walk from here, but it's close enough to the border of HawkClan." He mewed, padding past Wildheart and Dawnleaf with Falconpelt following. Dawnleaf stood, stretching her muscles before she nuzzled Wildheart. StarClan, what is to become of the Elites now? She asked, glancing up as the sun began to sink and hte first stars of Silverpelt began to twinkle in the sky. Her spine ran cold and she looked up. At the top of the rocks, a black cat was outlined in the fading sunlight and the words of her ancestors echoed in her ears. "A new threat will rise to take the menace of the Dark. The Night shall reign, cruel and cold." She shivered and pressed herself against Wildheart, afraid suddenly.
