[center]As Brambletail slashed the fox's neck Duskwing pulled farther back away from it, fur bristling, waiting for whatever it decided to do. Even a creature as dense as this fox seemed to be should be able to tell that it is completely outmatched. The fox swung it's head around towards each cat, lips pulled back to reveal it's pointed teeth before it finally turned tail and ran back into the bushes, leaving a trail of blood in its wake. Duskwing took a moment to force her fur to lie flat, looking over each of her clanmates to make sure none of them were badly injured. Some blood matted Stormheart's chest but it appeared that his thick fur mostly protected him. Just to be sure, [color=f26522]"Is everyone alright?"[/color] she meowed keeping her ears sharp for anything else that might be in the bushes. [color=f26522]"We should probably get back to camp, I doubt much prey will still be in the area after all that noise."[/color] She knew Moosepaw should be back at camp already getting his paw looked at, so that just left Sunfur and Spidernose out by the stream. [color=f26522][i]I should go find them and make sure they didn't get attacked by anything like the border patrol did.[/i][/color] She turned and padded into the trees in the direction of the stream hoping to see the familiar shapes of the rest of her patrol.[/center]

[center]Stormheart let out a sign of relief as the fox turned tail and ran before sitting down in the snow and licking at the shallow scratches on his chest. [color=00aeef][i]They aren't deep thankfully, it should be fine.[/i][/color] He looked up at Duskwing's question, [color=00aeef]"I'm fine, just a couple scratches,"[/color] he meowed softly and nodded as she suggested going back to camp, [color=00aeef]"that's a good idea."[/color] As she walked into the forest to find the rest of her patrol he glanced towards Maplestream [color=00aeef]"Thanks for coming so quickly,"[/color] he shuffled his paws slightly in the snow, [color=00aeef]"I don't think just the three of us could've driven it off."[/color] Now that the fight was over he could feel the cold, and his nerves, starting to seep back into his fur, he was just thankful that no one else got hurt. They were lucky that so many of their clanmates were out, or else they would've had to try and fight it off while Hawkpaw went for help at camp. [color=00aeef]"That was a pretty bold move, jumping onto the fox's back like that."[/color] He meowed as he pushed himself back onto his paws and prepared for the walk back to camp.[/center]
