Lightstar did not expect Rowanstar to order her to back of and run tail, she would enver do that. But he jumped in front of her, ready to fight the female lion. She felt her heart break at his determination. She turned around quickly at the sound of large pawsteps. She stared at a large lion coming towards her, it's paws out, claws unsheathed. She felt on of the huge paws make contact with her side, sening her flying away from Rowanstar, and banging into the rocks. She shook her head, trying to clear the blood from her eyes. It's ok...she thought to herself. I still have all nine of my lives. She tried to stand up, but stumbled over again. She spotted littlewing not to far of. She prayed that she medicine cat would notice her, oh and how she was praying with all her heart that Rowanstar was ok!

Snowfeather saw Lightstar stumble. She raced to her leader's side. Oh great! Snowfeather thought, No herbs to treat any cat with. She started to panic when a female lion ran strait at her and Lightstar. Remembering the moves her mentor Leafwing taught her. She reared and slashed its face. Snowfeather saw the female lion's claws reach her ear. She felt a sharp pain as her ear tore open. Snowfeather hissed in pain and leaped onto the lion's back. She held on ans the lion reared. Finally she fell to the ground as the female lion race away. Snowfeather turned back to Lightstar.

Cassiel let out a roar of satisfaction when the silver she-cat he had just attacked flew against a rock. He crouched low, his tail straight out behind him, and began to creep toward the she-cat. His long claws hooked into the ground with every step. He was just about to leap on the she-cat when another one came racing infront of him. Cassiel growled. Fine, I'll kill them both. He raised a huge paw, started to roar, but was stopped again my one of his Pride-mates. She came hurtling towards the two smaller cats and was pitifully defeated by one of them. Cassiel watched in shame. Beaten by tiny house pets. How pathetic. The female lion went streaking past him, her face bleeding. Seizing this an opportunity, Cassiel flung himself into the air and aimed straight at the two small she-cats. ~ Rowanstar let out a terrified yowl as a mountain lion raced past him, blood pouring from its muzzle. The ShadowClan leader watched in horror as it crashed into the undergrowth, and another lion came creeping out of the bushes. There were so many. They had to get out of here, and fast. Rowanstar looked around for the others. He did not see Willowstar, or Patchpelt, Littlewing or any other cat he knew. The moon had moved on; it was nearly dawn and everything was pitch black. Suddenly, a roar rose up from behind him. Rowanstar spun around to see the first male lion preparing to strike at a disgruntled-looking Lightstar and a furious Snowfeather. Without thinking, he raced towards the three of them. "Lightstar, Snowfeather, look out!" His cry was drowned out by another roar from the lion. Rowanstar was feet from them; the lion's front paws left the ground as it began to leap at Lighstar and Snowfeather; long black claws flashed in the darkness. Suddenly, Rowanstar too was flying through the air, his own smaller claws extended and teeth aimed at the lion's throat. With a loud roar and a furious hiss, lion and cat collided. Rowanstar's claws tore into the lion's pelt, and for once he penetrated the skin and the bitter smell of blood filled the air. Apparently, the force was much harder than Rowanstar had expected, and he and the lion fell to the ground in a heap of fur and claws. The dark tabby tom didn't stop to think. He raked his claws across his opponenets face and down its shoulders. The lion writhed and spun, trying to shake off the prickly cat, but Rowanstar wouldn't budge. ~ Cassiel let out a roar as the tiny cat rammed into his side. The two of them tumbled to the ground and, before he could do anything, he felt sharp claws raking across his shoulders. He tasted blood as the claws scratched at his muzzle and ears, and he tried desperatly to fight off the cat. No. He would not be defeated by this tiny waste of fur. With a tremendous roar, Cassiel reared up and spun in the air, and landed on his side, crushing the cat beneath him, in the same way he had done before. He rolled over and got to his paws again. The cat was lying on the ground and was just about to get up again. Cassiel leaped forward and landed with one large paw on either side of the small cat. "This is it, kitty," he growled, "Say goodbye."

Lightstar sat up, shaking her head trying to get the blood out of her eyes. She saw Rowanstar attacking the lion that had attacked her. The she-cat tried to stand, her narrow legs wabbly. She glanced at Snowfeather, nodding at her. She gasped as she saw that Rowanstar was being overpowered by the mountain lion. She couldn't just sit there! "Leave, him, ALONE!" She screeched, racing foward. She leapt onto the lions back, and bit own on his neck fur, and dug her claws in, ready to hold on for her life to save Rowanstar.

Willowstar and Patchpelt finally threw themselves out of the narrow tunnel and found a horrifieing scene before them. There were at least three massive, sandy coloured mountain lion's swiping and snarling at the other Clan Cats while more came creeping out of the bushes above them. Willowstar swung her tabby head back and forth, searching desperately for her comrades but only managed to catch glimpses of their soft pelts against the coarse fur of the lions. Patchpelt ran off in search of his leader just as Willowstar found Lightstar and Snowfeather. They were crouching low with their backs pressed up against the rock wall of Mothermouth, their eyes wide with fear. It wasn't until a horrible, heart stopping roar exploding through the dull darkness that the RiverClan leader realised a huge male mountain lion was wrestling with a muscular cat with dark mottled pelt. It was Rowanstar. The sturdy ShadowClan leader was trapped between the male lion's paws and was struggling to free himself. Willowstar was frozen with fear as Lightstar raced off to help him. ~~ Just then Patchpelt came out of nowhere and threw himself onto the lion's back mere seconds after Lightstar. Despite his age, the old black tom fought with the strength of a young warrior, his stringy muscles stretching and constricting as he raked his thorn-sharp claws through the coarse fur. Blood spattered onto his mussle when he bit down hard on the male's shoulder and he spat out fur as he pulled away. Still clinging on with his hind claws and raking his fore-claws across the lion's strong back, Patchpelt shouted to his leader and to Lightstar, "We must get back to camp! There's no way we can defeat them all!" ((Aaaaahh... crappy post! Sorry :]))

Cassiel screached in pain as what felt like hundreds of tiny claws piercing his fur and ripping at his back and shoulders. He reared onto his hind legs, trying to shake off the cats clinging to his thick fur. His roars of pain and anger rang off the surrounding rocks, and his long black claws left grooves in the ground as he spun around. Cassiel didn't know how he was going to dislodge the small cats, and was starting to feel tired after struggling so hard to rid himself of the sharp thorn-like claws. His muscles were cramping where he had been bitten and scratched, blood turning his brown pelt a crimson colour. "Get ... off ... me!" He growled through his teeth. Cassiel thrashed his huge head back and forth. "GET OFF ME, YOU LITTLE VERMIN!" ~ Rowanstar closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, preparing himself for the agonizing pain of huge teeth closing around his throat. But it never came. In its place came the sound of furious cats, slashing claws and another thunderous roar. Rowanstar opened his eyes and gasped. The mountain lion was leaning back on its hind legs, and Lightstar and Patchpelt were clinging to its back, clawing and biting madly. Seizing this halt in the attack, he shot out from under the huge animal's shadow and didn't turn back until he was a good three fox-lengths away from the lion and the two Clan cats. His olve-green eyes wide, he yowled desperatly, "Lightstar! Patchpelt! Let's go! We can't stay here any longer!" He spun around, searching for any other Clan cats, hoping they had heard him. He spotted Dawncloud stumbling out from behind a boulder, her steps wavering but she looked alright for the most part. Dashing over to her, Rowanstar meowed loudly, "Go back into the Cave and get Flameheart and Gryphonstar! We have to go now!" His sister blinked, then nodded blearily and trotted off to the tunnel, into which she slipped, her tail disappearing. Littlewing had just emerged from the same boulder Dawncloud had been hiding. "Rowanstar," she meowed, "This is not going well! We have to get out of here now, before they kill us all!" The ShadowClan leader nodded and meowed quickly, "Rally the other medicine cats and get out of here now. Get back to your camp as fast as you can. Don't wait for us." Littlewing nodded once then shot off to where Crowfur was bristling with fury in front of a smaller lion. Rowanstar then turned back to Ligthstar and Pacthpelt. "Let's go! Lightstar, please, we have to leave!" He felt desperate and was silently begging the ThunderClan leader to leave the lion alone and run away with him. ~ Deep in the tunnel, Dawncloud raced along, her brown pelt brushing the walls of stone. In what seemed like a much shorter time than their previous treck underground, she shot into the open cave, startling Flameheart so much that he yelped and toppled over. "Sorry about that," the she-cat muttered breathlessly, "But we have to go. Now. There are huge lions attacking, and if we don't get out of here soon they're going to kill us all." Flameheart's eyes widened in fear, then flicked over to the still body of Gryphonstar. He still hadn't moved. Dawncloud felt her heart sink. What were they going to do? Suddenly, there was a frantic scrabbling and Crowfur shot into the tunnel, once again startling Flameheart to the point of him stumbling backwards and tripping over. After andother mumbled apology, the RiverClan medicine cat padded over to Gryphonstar. He examined the WindClan leader with his cool yellow, eyes, then pressed his nose to Gryphonstar's forehead. He stood still there for a moment, then snapped his head up. "Something's wrong," he meowed in a hoarse voice. Dawncloud's heart sank even further, and she heard Flameheart sigh in disbelief. "He is not in the paws of StarClan," Crowfur continued, " He seems to be stuck inbetween our world and the Stars. I have heard of this happening. He will not wake until StarClan come looking for him in the abyss, but we do not have time to wait for him. We must go, and he is safe here. The lions cannot fit in the tunnel." He padded over to where Dawncloud and Flameheart sat. "We must leave him here, and pray to StarClan that they send him a warning of what lies above ground. But for now, we must go back to our territories before every one of us is killed." He flicked his tail, signalling for the two warriors to follow, and slizered back into the tunnel. After exchanging one worried, reluctant glance, Dawncloud and Flameheart followed, leaving Gryphonstar lost in his own abyss. ((Sorry, I just kinna made that up. . . we had to do something for the time-being, and hopefully when Gryph is able to come back, she can fix things up.))

Lightstar uncheathed her claws from the lion and leapt to a ledge. She jumped over the lion nad landed beside Rowanstar panting. She moved a paw over her face to clear the blood from her eyes. "Shadowclan is to far of," She panted, "Rowanstar, please...allow your cats to come to my camp to get treated!" She hissed, her eyes still on the lion, "It is closer, and with the state your sister is in, I'm not sure she could make it to Shadowclan!"
