silverflame charged in and skiddid to a stop right in front of fang, her teeth bared in rage.
''ah, my dear old rogue friend, and old mate... silver'' fang mused, an evil grin crossing his face.
she hissed at him and gritted her teeth.
''hello fang... become a leader i see'' she growled.
he chuckled and dismissed all of his fellow rogue's to patrol close to camp, and they all disappeared into the shadow's, all but fang and his deputy, the she-rogue who sat beside the sandstone highrock.
''let crystalheart go and i won't have to tear you to shred's....!'' silverflame growled quietly.
''and why would i? beside's... it's been a while since a seen those stormy gray eye's of your's...'' he muttered, his tail placed under her chin.
she snapped her teeth around his tail, catching the tip of his tail as he yanked it away, the whole tip of his tail missing.
he yelped and scrambled away.
she spat and there on the ground was the tip of his tail.
''i warned you mouse brain!'' she hissed.

Ravenclaw purred in approval of her friends actions. "Nice shot," She looked down at the black tail-tip on the ground. "I'm surprised that mouse-brain only took one bite to take down, though," She grumbled, a bit disappointed. "And you, half-face, let go of Crystalheart." She ordered, turning around to the battle-scarred brown tom with some flesh on his face missing, and wounds and scars coating his pelt.
"Why?" He asked, his left cunning deep-blue eye shimmering. "Stop flirting, furball. I'm being serious when I say this--let her go or I will kill you." She snapped. He huffed, and stepped away from Crystalheart. "Yeah. I thought so." Ravenclaw growled, her sharp teeth clenching. She nudged Crystalheart softly on the ear. "You okay?" Ravenclaw murmured. Silverflame's kit nodded, her eyes shock-widened. "Lets get you back to OakClan." She mewed softly. "Oh, Silver... I needed to talk to you about something important, but I guess it'll have to wait." She noted, and led Crystalheart to OakClan camp.

The deputy halted in front of them. "Stop. You're not taking our prisoner," She growled. Silently Ravenclaw embraced her teeth tightly around the rogue's neck, slamming her onto the ground. Her claws furiously sank into the she-cat's back and slashed along her spine, leaving her paralyzed. "H-how'd you do that?" Crystalheart stammered. "They don't mentor apprentices the old dirty rogue tricks. Only the clean harmless stuff." Was her reply as she rambled on.

silverflame grunted and walked back toward's oakclan.
''fang know's better then to get on my bad side blaze...... beside's i could have ripped his whole tail off if i wanted to...'' she grumbled.
crystalheart followed after silverflame, keeping her silence now.
but due to the quiet, crystalheart looked over and seen fang charging.
she growled and turned back, taking on his challenge.
''crystalheart!'' silver yowled as she heard the spund of both the cat's colliding with a spine-chilling thud and the fight started.
crystalheart slashed her claw's and fang slashed his, but her claw's met his face first and sent him flying.
she leaped over to him while he was dazed and slashed her claw's down his spine just as ravenclaw did with his deputy, paralizing him.
she bounded back and held her head up high, now very content and the mother and kit walked on as the started talking.

(skip as well... before i had an idea but i think i fell asleep T-T and i had it unplugged........)

Ravenclaw looked at the dark-blue tinged sky, then switching her gaze to Silverflame as the stars blinded her eyes. "Silver, do you ever think about leaving OakClan?" She asked. "I think about it, but I can't really go it without you..." She trailed off into silence to give Silverflame a chance to answer.

---

silverflame slowed her pace down to walk beside ravenclaw, her good ear perked up.
''leaving oakclan...? why..?'' she asked a little confused, but continued. ''what about my apprentice? i can't just leave him while he still need's training.... though he is pretty good in combat, hunting, not so much... but to answer your question blaze.. yes, i do sometime's think of leaving.....'' silver added quietly.

"Maybe after Brackenpaw gets trained. I think the Clan life is a bit rough and complicated for me, but I can manage for you..." She meowed, her tail tip flicking. "Besides, Lilacheart forces me to be overfed... I'm getting fatter by the moon," She groaned, pawing at her plump stomach in proof. Suddenly her nose wrinkled and her ears pinned back.
The calico's dangerous claws slid out, glinting slightly in the moonlight as the urgent expression in her eyes told the silvery she-cat to stay silent. Her hackles slightly raised, and her eyes narrowed down the hill in alert.
She heard a silent pad of paws stepping on the grass swiftly through the silence. A broad-shouldered tabby dark-brown tom with gleaming yellow eyes trudged only a fox-length away from them. "Halt, StoneClanner. Why do you dare trespass onto OakClan territory?" The she-cat growled, once more taking the job of a warrior.

"Yeah, right. A medicine cat is going to drive me out. Me, Hawktail, one of the greatest fighters of StoneClan?" The trespasser retorted, as if this were a challenge that the calico should actually be afraid of. "That's exactly what I mean," She replied, a slight teasing purr rumbling in her throat. "Please. I'll go easy on you," Hawktail grimaced. "Then you'll only get wounded even more severely." Ravenclaw shrugged, brushing her fluffy tail in the air once.
Hawktail rolled out his shoulders and cocked his head to the left, causing a crack that stretched it out. Ravenclaw supposed he was showing off. "Tell me when you're ready, Medicine Cat." He growled, puffing his chest out proudly as if sure he could defeat her in battle. Poor StoneClan. They have such a over proud tom as a warrior... She was only maybe a bit sorry for his Clan.

She arched her back downwards to the grass and stretched out her dangerous silver claws out, her tail straightening until she returned to her normal state. Wonder if he's bright enough to notice my dump leg... Ravenclaw thought with a snicker, looking at the leg she had broken. It seemed like a lifetime ago when she'd last ran down the grass pelted hills with Silverflame. The only reason she'd refused to cut it off was because it helped her seem less helpless. It was one of the very few things that made her feel a bit more strong...
Swiftly she lashed herself to the tom's side, slower than ever with her poor leg, and zipped her claws furiously across his side. Hawktail seemed to refuse to yelp in front of his enemy, but he stiffened and his posture only became straighter as he endured the pain. His enormous bear-like paws slammed at her, only managing to slash her ear as she dodged it. "Threatening claws you got there," He mused, his whiskers twitching as if he'd just made a joke.

Too proud to shut his muzzle in battle, She noted as the air sliced at her face when she leaped towards the tom. Her poor leg backfired her a bit, and set her slightly off-course from his chest. Instead she forced herself to stand on her two hind paws momentarily while she bounced her unsheathed claws into the tom's underbelly, counting she was a bit taller than her. He growled, his cheekbones in a visible tense and sheathed his claws, aiming his giant left bear-paw towards Ravenclaw's forehead.
He missed due to his slowness, but got a good shot on her cheek. Stumbling a bit, the agile she-cat slammed her unsheathed claws in the center of the trespasser's shoulder-blades, bringing him down and a yowl escaping his mouth. She cuffed his hard against the ear. "Leave." She hissed. The warrior urgently got up and scrambled off of the territory.

''the thing is blaze.. i want brackenpaw to come with us.... i know i sound like some mouse brained love struck she-cat falling for the tom..'' she grumbled, not wanting to continue talking about the subject she brought up.

The medicine cat shrugged, and sat back down. "We can ask him." She meowed, her ear flicking. "Silver, we could ask him now if he wants to come with us and if so we can just leave." The former rogue mewed, her eyes glinting in the moonlight. "Should we just ask him now, then?" Ravenclaw meowed a bit hopefully.

---

silver's eye's gleamed and she nodded quickly, a quiet purr escaping her muzzle.
she stood up and bounded toward's the camp, her speed quickly causing her to get out of blaze's and crystalheart's sight.
crystalheart sighed.
''why does she always have to run off like that..'' she grumbled and waited for blaze to get up.

Ravenclaw just gave a breath of amusement, and padded off as quickly as she could to OakClan camp. She bounded into the Apprentices' Den, where Silver was hovering over Brackenpaw. The apprentice stirred, and blinked himself awake. "Why in the name of StarClan did you wake me up at this time.." He groaned.

---

she laid down and perked her ear's up.
''me and blaze were thinking of leaving the clan... it's just, getting harder to be in this clan.....'' she muttered.
his eye's shot open as he sat up.
''you thinking of leav!-'' he started to yell in shock when silver whacked him in the head to shut him up.
''quiet you mouse brain...!'' she whispered and grabbed a hold of his ear between her teeth, and he yelped in protest but she dragged him out of the apprentice den and toward's the training field's, crystalheart following.
''come on ravenclaw...'' crystalheart muttered tiredly, but keeping her pace slow that way she could catch up.

"Call me Blaze," The medicine cat murmured in reply, and dragged herself back to the training field. Her tail swept against the long stalks of fresh grass, and she turned to Brackenpaw. "I'm sure we would be gone already if Silver here didn't want you to--" She stopped herself, but her eyes were still ever so slightly narrowed. "Silver? It's Silverflame," Brackenpaw muttered, a bit confused. "It's Silver for me and it always will be." Ravenclaw grumbled.

''brackenpaw.. my rogue name is silver, and i've always been called that after i left my old clan.... and made the biggest mistake in my life with fang.. though i love my kit very much, i just wish her father wasn't that flea ridden rogue......'' she grumbled.
crystalheart didn't really seem that bothered by what she said, but her expression seemed to agree with her mother.
''anyway... i'm offering you to join me, blaze, and crystalheart by leaving the clan behind.. no rank's, no need to worry about cat's attacking...... less stress..'' she offered quietly, her tone of voice soft.
he looked at the ground in thought, his ear twitching.
brackenpaw looked up and nodded.
''alright then... i'll come with you'' he said calmly.
silver's eye's gleamed with joy.
crystalheart muttered to herself on what her rogue name will be.
''so... when do we leave?'' he asked, sounding rather upbeat now.

The rogue let out a huff of amusement. "Now." She meowed, her tail swishing happily. "Oh, and it's Blaze." Her eyes glimmered. She trudged pass OakClan camp, and now into OasisClan's border when she turned back to Brackenpaw. "Do you want to keep your clanname or be called Bracken or something else?" She asked, her ears flicking. "You seem different now that you're free," Crystalheart mused in a tone that reminded her of Fang.

---

''something other then bracken...'' he muttered.
then he looked over at crystalheart as if she were just figuring out why he joined so quick.
''of course i'm different now that i'm free, no more stressing out over having to work for a mouse brained warrior rank'' he spat, seeming to instantly hate clan life.
silver chuckled in amusement.
''wow, you hated clan's faster then i did'' crystalheart and silver both said in sync.

Blaze let out a purr of satisfaction. "Yep, I'm liking this one already. I was about three moons when I started hating Clans..." She meowed, trudging into OasisClan territory. "Oh, and Crystalheart, you lead. I have no idea where the end of OasisClan territory is," She added.

---

''this way.. and i'm choosing my rogue name to be crystal... that way i can keep part of my old clan name like silver'' she said walking along the edge of the territory.
silver purred and followed after her kit, her only good ear perked up.
brackenpaw muttered something and followed.
''hmm... hawk.. yeah, that sound's like a good rogue name.....'' he muttered to himself.

Blaze finally crossed the OasisClan territory, and she stuck her muzzle in her air to smell the fresh air. The smell of freedom. She thought.
