[ti]Private[/ti]Runaway

It was a long run from RootClan territory, her home, where her family was. She looked around anxiously. Twoleg dens? She felt empty in a way. This was such a violation to the Warrior Code, but she couldn't bear to see her Clan fall apart. "I'm a coward!" , she thought hopelessly. Her heart was pounding fast in her ribcage, her head pounding in her skull. The world around her was distorted. Sunblaze was deliriously exhausted from the bolt through the territories. she knew she'd return, but not now. This was all so wrong! Her thoughts were racing, but she found a cozy grass patch and settled down for a while, dangerously close to a Twoleg Nest, but why did it matter at this point?

Braxton glanced out into the distance. He was outside of his Twoleg nest, out exploring. His ears perked up when he heard something in the grass. A rabbit? He cautiously stepped forward. It sounded like something bigger. A cat! He picked up the smell of some wild cat, following the scent. He saw an orange tabby cat near his Twoleg nest. He felt his fight or flight response kicking in. He knew it was possibly dangerous. With a sudden surge of bravery, he decided to charge and decide whether to attack or not.
He bolted forward, his paws slipping under him. He stumbled for a moment and fell onto the grass. The cat was just a few steps away. He quickly staggered to his paws, shaking out his fur. He unsheathed his claws, feeling the fur on his spine rising. It was one of those Clan cats. They were known to attack kittypets. Although he wasn't a skilled fighter at all, he prepared to defend himself.
