Bluefang rushed to the rescue, leaping on the fox's neck and bitting hard. The fox snarled, letting go of Sleekfur and shaking to try and get Bluefang off of its back.

But the fluffy white warrior persisted, not letting go and bitting deeper until the fox finally managed to get Bluefang off of its back, and retreated. The fox looked skinny. No wonder it retreated. If it knew what prey wasn't worth it, why bother? The warrior looked over at Sleekfur. "Are you ok?"

Sleekfur tried to recover his breath. He was suddenly embarrased. Bluefang had made fighting off the fox so easy, while he ran away wailing like a lost kit! "I'm fine," he snapped. "I-I could've taken on the fox, it just surprised me."

*Bluefang rolled his eyes*

*He asked if Sleekfur wanted to hunt more or go back*

"Let's go hunt some more," he answered. "We need to help our clan as much as possible, with the tensions and all," he lied. He didn't tell Bluefang the REAL reason he wanted to go hunt some more, and that was because he wanted to make up for his embarrassment previously. He led the way, catching a mouse and a vole, as he neared the place where he encountered the fox. Unfortunately, the fox was gone, and so was the rabbit. Sleekfur tried not to let his disappointment show. "Well, I guess we can go back now, if that's what you want." He ran at a brisk pace towards camp when suddenly the fox he had seen before jumped out of the bush, along with two other foxes, skinny and gangly like the fox that had chased Sleekfur. "So, Bluefang, what do you want to do? I say we fight them." He grinned, ready to make up for his embarrasment as he unsheathed his claws.

*Bluefang knew that this fox problem had to be reported*

*He said they should at least chase them out and report this foxes to Gingerfrost*

Sleekfur agreed. Of course he would report this to Gingerfrost. But first, he would prove himself worthy of Riverclan, and show these foxes not to mess with him. He scanned the snarling foxes. There was one fox in the lead, bigger and fitter than the other two, however not fit enough that he could take on three warriors. Sleekfur launched himself at the lead fox, letting Bluefang fight the smaller two. Sleekfur ran right up to the fox, then just when he was within swiping range, leaped over and landed on its back. The fox desperately thrashed and violently writhed, successfully shaking him off. The two stood up on their feet and faced each other again. The fox snapped his jaws and snarled, while Sleekfur growled and showed his fangs. Eventually the fox leaped at him, but Sleekfur was too fast. He ducked under and scratched the fox's stomach and jumped onto his rump. The fox twisted its head and used its snapping jaws to try and bite Sleekfur, but was unable to. Sleekfur slowly used his claws to climb up the shaking fox, and reached its neck. Sleekfur aimed a blow and quickly scratched the fox's snout. The fox howled in pain and tried to bite Sleekfur. Then Sleekfur scratched the fox again, in the same spot, right on his eye. Once again the fox reeled and wiggled. By the third scratch, Sleekfur could tell that he had effectively blinded it in that eye. Quickly Sleekfur leaped off and was about to jump onto its neck and bite it on its throat when the fox barreled him over and pinned him down. Sleekfur writhed but could not get over its death grip. The fox started nipping him, teasing him of his death to come. No matter how hard Sleekfur tried, he could not get out of the fox's grip. Then the fox bit down hard on his neck, and Sleekfur struggled to breathe. Suddenly his vision started going black. no... Just when he thought it was over, he felt the foxes weight lifted off of him and he snapped his eyes open to see Bluefang attached to the fox's neck, biting down hard and choking it. Sleekfur tried to get up to help, but he felt too weak. Luckily, he felt strength returning to his muscles. Somehow he found the strength to get up. Now he could see the fox sprawled twitching on the ground, Bluefang standing over it, panting. Sleekfur started walking over to him. Bluefang turned around at the noise. Out of the corner of his eye, Sleekfur saw a dark shaped leaping towards Bluefang from behind. No! He thought. I must not let anything happen to him! Sleekfur ran towards his clanmate, who he couldn't see under the fox's frail body. Sleekfur leapt at the fox, clinging onto it with all his might. He glanced at Bluefang, hoping against hope that he was alive. Yes! he thought as he saw Bluefang getting up to his paws, fury in his eyes. With a jerk, Sleekfur snapped back to the present. This fox was severely weakened, but so was he. The tom dug his claws in deeper as he saw Bluefang cling onto the fox's pelt. Together, they overpowered the fox. With a last jerk, it flung the two cats off of it and ran away, limping towards another fox in the distance. Together, the two shadows disappeared into the forest.

(Nope it's all good! Also really sorry for the short post I'm feeling down again)

*Bluefang did everything that was said above and recommended that they go back to camp to get their wounds looked at and repeat the fox problem to Gingerfrost*

(No worries make the posts however long you want )

"That sounds like-" he winced from a sharp stab of pain from his flank. "Like a good idea," he agreed.

She blinked up at the tom as he explained what was going on, nodding along to his words. As he mentioned Stonepaw asking him and Marigoldleap for help healing, though, her face fell. Oh. he had asked others to help him. Not her. He didn't want Snowpaw to help. Was Stonepaw really that mad at her? She had only done what she thought would help, and she had just really wanted to use the knowledge that Stonepaw had taught her...

Snowpaw shuffled her paws, glancing toward Stonepaw with a crestfallen expression before turning back to the warrior in front of her. It was fine. She would be fine. She was just helping, there was nothing wrong with that. Using the knowledge she had been given. Stonepaw wouldn't be mad forever, right...? Yeah. Right. Mister Stonepaw just had a lot of hurties to heal, and Snowpaw just wanted to help. She could be helpful!

Speaking of help, as the warrior continued speaking, Snowpaw's eyes flitted to him. Anyone that needed a bigger patch up? Uhmm... she had only really talked to two cats that had hurties. Did they count? But they would be going to Stonepaw, so that couldn't work. Snowpaw had already gotten under Stonepaw's legs enough, she didn't want to bother him about cats she had already taken on without his permission. Hrm.

"U-Uhm, mister, uh, N-Nightbark or s-something? The, u-uh, Lionheart guy h-had some hurties so Snowpaw told him t-to go ask Stoneypaws f-f-for mmmm...mmaarrigold! That w-way his hurty won't get all icky and s-stuff," she explained, head tilting to the side as she spoke, "A-And uhmm, Snowpaw h-helped a kit, but she d-doesn't remember his name. But she used some of.... this s-stuff to make his b-bleeding slow d-down. Snowpaw thinks h-he went to Stoneypaws as w-well, though. B-But Snowpaw hasn't b-been able to check anyone else y-yet." As she described what happened, the apprentice held up the strange plant (burnet) that she still had. If this warrior asked why she used it, Snowpaw wouldn't be able to explain, though. She just... felt like it would help the bleeding. But she didn't know what the plant itself was called- it wasn't in the list of things Stonepaw had taught her.

Sedgestorm watched as Snowpaw's expression fell and a small stab of guilt needled its way way into his heart. She was trying, and he could see that clear as day. He could also see that being left out had hurt her.
Carefully, he brought his tail to brush against her shoulder in an attemptnto soothe her.
"Hey, there. I don't think Stonepaw was meaning to leave you out. You're already doing a lot to help him, but sometimes our problems need more than two sets of paws, and maybe he figured you'd understand that you're already being a big help."
He gave her a soft, reassuring smile.
Her pain was really tugging at his heartstrings, and the strong fatherly instinct to make that pain go away was overwhelming, even as she got around to the question he'd asked.
Maybe he could catch two frogs with one pounce, and he put himself in a headspace to listen to her again.
Nightspark was likely okay if he could walk on his own to Stonepaw, but what worried him was the kit she mentioned. As she brandished the Herb she'd used to help staunch the kits bleeding, he leaned forward a bit to sniff it, recognizing it faintly.
"One of our old Medicine Cats used to keep a store of it. I don't remember what it's called, but I think what you did might have really helped that kit."
His tail swished uneasily.
"I know you said the kit was supposed to see Stonepaw, but do you think I could take a look at the wound? Stonepaw seems to be busy, and I would rather be extra sure they'll be okay."
Truth be told, there was also the possibility the kit hadn't had a chance to ask Stonepaw about it either. There were many things that could have kept them from being seen seen to and he wanted to be sure it was checked out.
A kit couldn't gauge the severity of a wound or symptoms like a warrior could.
