[ti]Private[/ti]A Patrol With A Catch

[GnawingOnIce]

Dogear was on a border patrol with Icetail, a white tom with black markings. Dogear's muscles rippled under his pelt, his gaze stern and steady. They were checking along the Ivyclan border, because of course they couldn't just keep their eyes on the Mothclan one all the time. He weaved through the trees and shouldered his way through the undergrowth, assuming Icetail was following him. His large ears constantly switched ways, seeing if he could hear anything, and his nose twitched, his jaws hanging open to see if he could catch any scent.

He caught a sharp scent, and stopped mid-walk, trying to identify it. "Keep low, and be quiet." He told Icetail, crouching to make sure whoever the scent belonged to didn't see them. It wasn't Ivyclan or Mothclan, but it could be a kittypet, loner, or rogue. Any cat in these categories could be potentially dangerous, so Dogear wanted to make sure to keep low.

Icetail knew this sent from some were, but he couldn't put his paw on it.


Max was walking though the woods not know where he was, cause he got lost while hunting for his family, his nose caught a smell that he knew to well. "Could it be?" he said just above a whisper. "Could he still be alive?" Max stoped on full alert when there was noise in the bushes with the smell that he knew and a smell that was unknown to him.

The unknown cat started speaking, and Dogear's green eyes narrowed. Without warning, he jumped out of where he and Icetail were hiding and landed in front of the cat, snarling and baring his teeth. "Get out of our territory!" His fur bristled and his tail lashed aggressively, keeping his eyes on the other. The cat was black with green eyes and scars, certainly not a kittypet. His ears pinned back and he snarled again, unsheathing his claws, waiting for the cat's reaction.

Icetail knew that voice."Max, is that you?" he said in a small voice hoping that it would be him, but Dogear told him to hush.


The other cat looked like he was ready to start a fight, fine by me he thought, bearing his teeth back with his claws out. Then he heard the voice that he had longed for so long and got to see his little brother after so long. " We'll talk after I deal with this clan cat, well are you going to help Ruby?" He said with a big smile on is face.

[GnawingOnIce]

"Ruby?" Dogear growled, snapping his head back to meet Icetail's gaze, "Is he talking about you?" He demanded, his teeth still bared. He turned back to the black cat, Max seemed to be his name, and striked at the side of his face, his claws raking his cheek. "Get out!" That was a warning. If the cat refused, Dogear was afraid a real fight would break out.

[krh9235]

"Dogear you should have not done that!!" Icetail said with his fangs showing at the clan cat.


"My little brother is right, the real fight began's now!" Max said while rubbing his cheek, man that hurt he thought
Then he leaped at the so called Dogear, thinking that his eyes looked just like Toffee's, wait Dogear - Dog! he thought but he was to late.

[GnawingOnIce]

Dogear fell back, lying under Max when he lunged at him. He hissed and grabbed the back of Max's neck with his large paws, his claws digging into his neck, and hoisted himself upward. Maybe Max wouldn't be able to bear Dogear's weight and fall forward, giving Dogear a chance to bite one of his shoulders. For now, he held onto his front leg by biting it, growling, making sure Max couldn't shake him off.

[krh9235]

"Stop it both of you, please!" When Icetail saw Dogear bite Max's frontpaw he rushed in to save his big brother. Biting Dogear's tail before one of them got hurt.


Max tried to shake Dogear of his paw. When Dogear dug his claws in his neck he hissed in pain, only then to scratch Dogear on is cheek Payback he thought to him self. He then felt Ruby bitting Dogear's tail, Max didn't need his help so he kicked Ruby in the face, knocking him down.

[GnawingOnIce]

Dogear hissed in pain as Icetail bit down on his tail and Max scratched his cheek, but this only made him bite down on Max's paw harder. He let go for a split second and hoisted himself upward more and bit down on Max's shoulder this time. He let go and pushed Max off of him and rolled back onto his feet and arched his back, hissing.

[krh9235]

Max snarled as Dogear bit into his shoulder and stumbled away, Dogear flinging him off of him.
"Toffee is going to kill me if I'm not back soon and if she sees my wounds she really kill me."


At the cave,Gigi was scared of Toffee when she was worried,oh gosh hurry Max!.
