The ShadowClanner fell quicker than she expected. Pinning the warrior down, on the edge of the border, Redhawk glared down at her. All she saw in her head was Gentledoe, and how she had suffered at the claws of this rat-infested Clan. Hind paws battered her belly and the blows were tough - but she dug her claws in and let out a snarl. "You'll pay for w-what you did t-t-to my sister." And with parted jaws she lunged forward, biting harshly into the cat's neck and ripping away. Scarlet blood spilled around the body as Red stepped off, her glare not leaving the cat.
It seemed she had company though, and glanced up as she spotted another ShadowClanner raced towards her. Adrenaline was already flaring as she turned to face them, tail lashing. All she saw was red. Her sister... she needed to do this for her sister. The leap straight for her was easy enough to dodge, but the claw flying towards her muzzle was a surprise. It stung and Redhawk scrambled backwards, eyes now fixated on this newcomer. Her jaws were parted and coming for her shoulder - but what was more interesting was the legs that were coming for her.
"For you, Does," she murmured under her breath. She hadn't yet done this on a cat other than the one ShadowClanner that had crossed the border back when Bumblestar had taught her, but the leg was coming, momentum was there. Jerking herself to one side to avoid the cats teeth Red lunged forward and aimed to clasp at the base of the ShadowClanner's hind leg. From there she jerked her head upwards, knowing that momentum would cause the leg to dislocate or break.

Alderblossom jerked her hind leg back just in time, narrowly missing Redhawk´s jaws. She lunged, aiming a sharp jab to the shoulder. A clever blow - one that would numb the front leg temporarily and send her opponent tumbling to the ground.
If that blow landed, Alderblossom would try to open a couple of deep gashes on Redhawk´s flank as well as snap her jaws around the ThunderClan Hornet´s (not that Alderblossom knew that) tail, attempting to crunch down ´til she felt bone beneath her teeth.
[ redhawk will be able to sprain a paw, but not break a leg. since shellwhisker didn´t get to half-blind redhawk, do you want me to have alderblossom do that or nah? ]

Frustration flared through her as the leg was pulled from her grasp. Being so close already to the ShadowClanner, Redhawk yelped as claws pierced her shoulder, sending her scrambling backwards once more. She gave a lash of her tail, watching as her opponent tried again to slash at her flanks. One blow manage to strike her before the reddish-brown warrior moved out of range, scarlet blood welling up at the gash on her side.
Teeth were coming for her tail and she whipped out of range and sprang away to create some distance. "You're on T-ThunderClan territory now," she spat giving a lash of her tail. Every instinct was screaming at her to stop and let this cat collect their dead, but the rage? Oh the rage was... addicting. Red found herself exhilarated by it, tumbling through her veins like pure bliss.
She lunged once more at the ShadowClanner, lashing a claw out to swipe at her face. It was more so a distraction and Red didn't care if it landed or not. Her jaws were already parted, aiming to sink into the space between Alderblossom's neck and shoulder.

The blow to Alderblossom´s face landed, but not the bite as the ShadowClanner quickly dodged away. A gash had been opened beside her left eye and down her muzzle, and a hiss escaped the tortie.
´´I should have every right to be here since you killed a ShadowClan warrior on ShadowClan territory,´´ Alderblossom spat back. She crouched, shoulders hunched and head held low to guard her throat. The warrior then darted forward, circling Redhawk in an attempt to confuse her before trying to grab the ThunderClan scum´s tail once more and yank her backwards.
If she succeeded, she´d open a wound in Redhawk´s chest that would end the fight and cause Redhawk to retreat.

Now what in the world was going on here? The ShadowClan leader hasn't been bothering to patrol ThunderClan's border, but there was an increasing number of cats not returning to camp, which worried her. Sadly, she hadn't been as clear as she should have been when giving her clan the freedom to challenge ThunderClan at their leisure. Her clanmates were being idiots, why she thought they'd used what few brain cells they had in their brains she wasn't sure. So naturally, she felt the need to at least check up on them.
She had not been expecting to walk into the mess that she did. A heavily injured commander, and a dead hot head with ThunderClan's deputy. How annoying. "Hawkbite?" Dawnstar meowed, tail swaying back and forth as she glanced at the warrior and then looked over at Shadefrost's corpse. Yup, he wasn't getting up from that. She had expected Shadefrost to bite off more than he could chew one day, she had not expected Hawkbite to be a part of it though. Dawnstar more or less completely ignored Spiderthroat in favor of checking on Hawkbite.
As much as Dawnstar would like an explanation for this, she should probably focus on getting Hawkbite to Lostspark first and bring Shadefrost home. Honestly, she couldn't summon any anger or outrage for this. She knew the risks when playing with ThunderClan and so had her clanmates, she had warned them.
On ShadowClan territory?? "She was on the border, you frog-brain!" Did this cat not have eyes? Whatever, it didn't matter anyways as Redhawk watched the ShadowClanner circle her. It was a move she was familiar with and as Alderblossom darted forward again towards her tail she once again whipped it away from her and spun around. Claws were coming at her chest and just like before Redhawk rushed forward, and with parted jaws aimed to grab the base of the cats paw and jerk her head upwards and sideways with enough force to either break or dislocate. With the way the claw was reaching forward, it would be difficult for the ShadowClanner to react quick enough to pull it away. This time, it had to work.
His mind couldn't keep up with what was happening. One moment, he was staring up at Shadefrost with an angry Spidethroat hovering over him and the next, he had a searing pain in his throat and found himself flying.
What an odd sensation.
Damn, that really hurts.
His body smacked the ground with a thud.
His head found contact with one of the pine trees.
Hawkbite then lay there unconscious.
Blood poured from the wound on his neck and shoulder.
For a moment, he didn't breathe. Long enough someone might've thought he died. When the breaths finally caused his chest to rise and fall, they were shallow and far between.

Letting go of Redhawk, the tortie bounded back over to ShadowClan territory, pausing on the border to grab Ospreysplash´s body.
Redhawk had killed her, and Redhawk will pay. The ShadowClanner´s eyes narrowed. Hopefully the wounds Alderblossom had given the ThunderClanner would give Redhawk something to remember her by.
Lifting Ospreysplash by the scruff, she crouched down and managed to drag her Clanmate´s limp body onto her back. Alderblossom grunted as she stood up, but padded on towards the ShadowClan Camp. Dawnstar would hear about this soon enough.
[ @Ladiebugg - Ospreysplash Mention to lyk Alder grabbed the body. ]

The familiar 'pop' sound rang in her ears and she watched Alderblossom yelp in pain. Redhawk backed up a bit and watched through narrowed eyes as the cat collected the dead body of their Clanmate and disappeared into ShadowClan territory. With them gone and the adrenaline starting to wain, the hornet shook her head and twisted around to look at the gash on her side. It stung badly, like the claw marks on her muzzle and shoulder; she would definitely need it patched up.
Turning to limp away from the border and head back home, Red caught a sliver of movement in the undergrowth. Immediately her claws came out and she flattened her ears. "If another o-one of you SSS-ShadowClan t-t-toads is there, t-this is your last warning t-to come out!" she snarled, tail lashing as she caught a glimpse of a calico pelt.
Redhawk stalk-limped forward as fast as she could, ready to claw whoever it was and - Oh no. Instantaneously her claws were sheathed and her eyes rounded in concern. "P-P-Poppypaw! What are y-you doing out h-here??" she questioned, her heart beat racing in her chest.

Ah, what a mess what a mess. The ShadowClan leader sniffed at the tom's bloody throat when she didn't get the response she was looking for from the commander. His wounds didn't look lethal, but blood loss was always a concern. Hawkbite was growing on her, she wouldn't call him a tumor, he wasn't that bad, but something like that, and she didn't want to find a new commander. Plus, wherever Vixensnarl was she doubted she could face her properly if she let the molly's brother die. Not that her wayward kin deserved such kindness.
Grumbling to herself, Dawnstar's paws hastily took her towards a bush where she scavenged around for a nice glob of cobwebs. She returned to the tom's side took the webs and plopped them down on the tom's neck wound, and shoulder wound. She was just hoping they'd stem the blood flow a bit to give it the time to coagulate. It was sloppy, she was no medicine cat, but at least he wouldn't die from blood loss now.
She was exceedingly disappointed that he did not wake and refrained poking him with her claws to see if he'd get up. His legs weren't broken, at least not from the angle she was looking at. He could walk home. The molly continued grumbling to herself, something about deadweight and cleaning blood out of her fur.
Do you know how hard it was to get full-grown tom onto your back while trying to be mindful of their injuries? Hard, and time-consuming, but she somehow managed to get the deadweight onto her back. It was too awkward to double-check if the cobwebs had held in place. She had to get to camp. After ensuring Hawkbite was as secure, she made her way over to Shadefrost. She could just leave him and come back for him, however her maw was empty.
Scruffing more dead weight, she felt her muscles strain at the extra weight, the leader began the trek home. This sealed the deal, no one else was allowed over ThunderClan's border. She gave them a chance to play and they all acted like idiots and got themselves killed. They were called ShadowClan. SHADOW! This was the last time she was ever allowing them to do this. Dumbasses. She completely ignored Spiderthroat if he was still around, not her problem. Gotta go visit Lostspark and bury Shadefrost.
