She resisted the urge to burst out in laughter, as she enjoyed a good fight. The other cat had not hit her face, but rather scratched her side and sent her tumbling to the ground. She growled and quickly pulled herself away from Mistwing, stood up, and faced the other cat fiercely. "Oh, kitty. You're going to regret that, Dear," she said in a calm mocking tone. Nightshadow shook herself off and looked at Mistwing her eyes glinting. It seemed to happen so slowly for her, but she knew all of this had only happened in a few seconds. Her whiskers twitched as she put her weight on her back legs and lurched forward with her arms out and claws extended, not jumping but leaning forward so she could recover her balance after the attack.

Mistwing felt a confusing rush of emotions as she skidded past Nightshadow, frustrated she hadn't dealt a meaningful blow, but an excited rush as her claws glided shallowly through Nightshadow's flank. By the time she hurled herself around, her Shadowclan opponent had already gathered herself to her paws and glaring at her intensely, her voice betraying none of the emotions glinting in her eyes. Mistwing noticed too late that Nightshadow reared onto her hind legs, and without thinking, lunged forward. Mistwing kept her body low to the ground and attempted to reach Nightshadow's briefly exposed stomach, but at the most crucial moment, just as she was about to reach Nightshadow, her front paw slipped in the mud and her gait failed.
