"Morningpaw trespassed?! He is giving ShadowClan a bad name! I'm going to mane him!" Ninjapaw yelled mad.

Darkpaw hissed at Nightstar, his fur bristling. He narrowed his eyes and looked over at Ninjapaw. "Hey, he's only getting a bad name for himself," he meowed, trying to calm Ninjapaw down. "ShadowClan aren't just boarder-crossing cats; we are loyal." Wait a minute.... he thought, something suddenly hitting him. We know our own way back to camp! Why should we be following Nightstar?
It's because you're weak, Shadowclaw sneered in his mind.
I am not weak! Darkpaw thought angrily, digging his claws into the ground as they continued to walk.
Then why are you following Nightstar, since obviously you know your own way to camp? Shadowclaw meowed.
Darkpaw was silent for a few moments. You're right. He turned his head to Ninjapaw and murmured low enough to where Nightstar couldn't hear, "Why don't we just get to camp by ourselves? We don't have to follow her like we don't even know our own territory!"

Nightstar shook her head. I hope Ninjapaw's not serious... she thought amusedly. Otherwise he'll be in even more trouble than he already is.
Turning to Darkpaw, she scowled. "How am I supposed to know that you won't get into trouble again?" she mewed sharply. "You two were already mousebrained enough to wander by that Twoleg nest, and get yourself trapped."

"What is the wrong with you,Darkpaw? Your not acting like yourself." Ninjapaw said.

Nightstar scuffed at a bit of dirt in slight frustration. She had never liked ShadowClan much, and now she had potentially saved the Clandom of two of its apprentices, who were being rather cheeky.
"I wouldn't know," she muttered in reply to Ninjapaw's question. "Does this mean that he's not always this much of a clawed-tongue?" She nearly chuckled at her slight joke.
Nightstar never had been the most friendly cat in the eyes of others, but in reality, she was quite friendly to anyone that hadn't personally annoyed her, such as Morningpaw, or in moderation these cats that she was escorting...

"Does it matter?" Darkpaw muttered to Ninjapaw. He then turned his icey glare to Nightstar. "I was trying to save Ninjapaw!" he snapped. "The Twoleg trapped me inside with him. We could have still found our way out even if you didn't show up." His tail lashed back and forth behind him, his lip slightly curling over his teeth.

Nightstar whipped on Darkpaw, fur bristling, and eyes glinting furiously. Now she was angry. The black leader did not usually command respect from cats of other Clans just because of her position, but this apprentice was beginning to piss her off.
"Oh really?" Nightstar hissed to the defiant apprentice. "Would you have rathered that we hadn't come at all? I'm sure that you could have made it out..." The last sentence was laced heavily with icy sarcasm. "As kittypets, perhaps!"

Darkpaw snarled, his claws unsheathing. Ignoring what Ninjapaw said, he leaped at Nightstar.
What are you doing?! Shadowclaw hissed in his mind.
Something I've been wanting to do! Darkpaw thought as he brought his claws down in attempt to slash the leader across her muzzle.

Nightstar was taken aback by the apprentice's attack, so even though she attempted to dart out of the way, the claws scored the right half of her muzzle a bit.
Screeching in fury, Nightstar launched herself onto the young apprentice, aiming precisely, and attempted to grab the tom by the scruff to freeze him as most cats pause when scruffed.

Ninjapaw attacked Nightstar to defend Darkpaw. But Stopped seconds later.

Darkpaw rolled out of the way just in time, but then growled as Ninjapaw got in his way. "What-" He was cut off as he yowled in pain, his legs buckling from beneath him.
Shadowclaw, no! he thought desperately, feeling as if his whole body was on fire again.
Do not attack the Thunderclan leader! Shadowclaw snarled in his mind, making Darkpaw yowl again as the pain increased. Doing this is a serious mistake, and I will not let you get away with this one!
Darkpaw yowled again before blackness covered him, and he stopped moving; he was still breathing, only he was knocked out.
The apprentice opened his eyes to see an angry Shadowclaw looming in front of him; he was frozen in fear.
"You will not attack anyone unless I say otherwise," his father said in a low, menacing voice. He then unsheathed his claws and slashed at Darkpaw, leaving a deep gash on his side. Darkpaw yowled and backed away, crouching low.
"I won't do it again, father," he whispered, looking up with frightened eyes.
"I hope you won't," Shadowclaw snarled. He aimed a blow at Darkpaw's head, his claws sheathed this time, and knocked the apprentice to the side. Darkpaw felt darkness swallow him up again, and heard his father whisper, "Do not disobey me again."
Darkpaw woke up, yowling in pain as the wound from Shadowclaw appeared on his side. Blood was oozing from it, and he was already feeling dizzy.

OOC: Dark, I'm acting as if your post took place in only a second or two in reality, XD.
Nightstar followed through with her pounce and landed on the apprentice who was now on the ground. She grabbed his scruff, and scratched on his eye with her unsheathed claws, though not enough to damage the eye itself. Then, she noticed that Darkpaw was not resisting to her attacks, and released him.
She was stunned to see that the tom was bleeding from a wound in his side. "I didn't do that!" she gasped. The wound was still oozing, so she looked left and right frantically. "Where's a medicine cat when you need one..."
I should probably just let him bleed, Nightstar reflected, but this just goes to show that I have a soft heart, it seems...
"I seem to be using my own knowledge of some of the herbs and stuff a lot today," she muttered, grabbing a cobweb that was stuck to a nearby bush. "Small, but it'll do." She pressed the web onto Darkpaw's heavily bleeding wound, where it soon staunched the bloodflow.

Darkpaw mewed quietly in defeat, his eye stinging; he didn't bother resisting anymore. Now Darkpaw didn't care what happened, but he just wanted to curl up in his nest and sleep for a moon or two. But why is Nightstar trying to help me? he wondered weakly. I'm surprised she doesn't just leave me to die.
It's because Nightstar has a soft heart, Shadowclaw meowed, seeming almost angry about it. She'll always be weak because of it.
Darkpaw ignored Shadowclaw, opening his eye that hadn't been clawed. "I'm sorry, Nightstar," he whispered, closing his eye again and laying his head against the ground, fainting because of how much blood he had lost.
