Lionpup's head whip-lashed as Spottedsky grabbed him and took off, while the cougar was distracted. He was frozen in fear, that his eyes just stared blanky. When Spottedsky set him down to challange the couger he let out a loud terrified wail. He just wanted to get out of there and into the saftey of all the clan warriors.

"Go! Go get help!" she snarled at him, never taking her eyes off of the cougars'. "I'll be okay! Just go!" She snapped, faking a lunge downhill at the cougar. It roared, but advanced, clearly knowing she was alone. It paced to the side and she matched it, shielding Lionpup with her own bulk. "Run! I won't let it through!"

Lionpup still lay crouched, to frozen in fear to move. He just stared at the tall lean figure snarling furiously. "I-I-I can't" He stammered, barely mustering out the words. 'Besides, I can't move!' he shouted to himself.

Spottedsky snarled and picked up Lionpup by his scruff, swinging him away from the slashing claws of the cougar. She knocked him down behind her again as the cougar leaped, gouging out the ground where he had laid a moment before. Spottedsky lunged and sunk her teeth in the cougar's unprotected face, feeling blood splatter up onto her fur. Twisting and mangling, she clenched her jaws around the cougar's open maw, trying to get at it's eyes with her blunt claws, even though they could not tear like the cougar's. White hot fire scorched her stomach as claws scored down it, and she knew she couldn't be overpowered and pinned. With renewed energy, she twisted under its stomach, ducking under its claws again and tearing at her opponents hamstrings. The blows falling on her seemed to fade away and she kicked out with her back leg, feeling it connect with something. Scrambling out from under as the cougar collapsed, she backed up the hill, snarling again until she shielded Lionpup. The cougar had wounds covering its face and jaw, while it's back leg buckled. Blood ran down into its eyes and the cougar roared again. Feeling her heart pounding in her chest, she roared the best a wolf could back at it, burning anger boiling up again. She put all of her hatred into the stare she gave the cougar and snarled one last time, charging to the edge of the hill and snarling. The advance made the cougar yowl and slither back a few yards before slowly starting to advance again. Please help! she willed with her heart as she howled as loud as she could. She staggered back, feeling dizzy, the world swimming before her eyes.

Lionpup stared in horror as dark cream fur mixed with tan, a tussle of teeth and claws. Blood spattered around him, some even sprayed his face, but he was to horrified to notice. A chill sank through his fur as Spottedsky let out a howl. He couldn't stand it anymore, he wasn't going to stay here! Lionpup finally turned and tried to run away, only stumbling over himself from the sudden pain and rolling down the hill into the thick bush that would hide him.
Swiftstar's ears pricked, "Was that Spottedsky?" She breathed to herself. Quickly padding to the Shadowclan leader, he asked in a rushed tone, "Duststar, have you seen your deputy recently?" She asked, unsure of the howl. She growled and decided to check it out herself, expecting the Shadowclan leader to follow her. Swiftstar launched herself up the first hill, arounding a quick bend. In a fast trot to climbed the hill at the base of the mountain. She saw a flash of gold in the corner of her eye, but her full gaze was brought tp the Shadowclan deputy and fierce cougar in front of her. "Spottedsky!" She yowled, seeing the blood everyone, not knowing whether it was Spottedsky's or the cougars.

Darkfur stoped walking, tasting the air.Blood. "Brambleleaf. Find Spottedsky now. Find a medicine wolf on your way. Something isn't right." he ordered, looking arround, inspecting every wolf with his well traned medicine wolf eyes. "Spottedsky and Lionpup are missing." Darkfur's gaze quickly turned to a near by mountain. A flash of familiar grey fur passed by. Inspecting the area, he spotted what seemed like a few clumps of fur. Growling he snarled "That flee brain of Swiftstar. She should know better than heading off on her own!" Darkfur twisted arround and ran towards his leader, spotting Tidebraker on the way, he barked "don't just stand there! Get some help! Now!" --Hold on a bit longer-- pleaded darkfur in his head --help's comming.--

Spottedsky gave one last defiant snarl at the cougar, feinting around it to shield Lionpup again. "Mangy crowfood eater.." she gasped at it as it came in and out of focus. It yowled again and made a move forward, but Spottedsky summoned the last of her strength and clenched her teeth around it's ear, shaking her head until her teeth came free. With a shocked yowl, the cougar turned and sprinted away down the hill and she followed it with her eyes until it was over the horizon. She grimanced and spit out the cougar's entire ear, coughing up some blood in the process. She unsteadily stumbled to Lionpup's side at the bush, she breathed out a rattly breath and collapsed, blood steady dripping out of claw and teeth wounds that covered her body. She closed her eyes and quietly listened to the sound of Lionpup's breathing and her own.
(That was fun.. xD. No, Spottedsky won't die, I luff her too much <3 )

(Duststar read over the last few posts, you'll get caught up then)
Swiftstar seeing Spottedsky chase the cougar off, she quickly stumbled down to the Shadowclan's deputy's side, "Are you crazy!?" She snapped, "You never take of a cougar on your own! Your lucky that it was old and starving. Desperate for a meal" Swiftstar growled, looking back at the image of the cougar, seeing gray tints in it's fur and it's ribs poking out. "You run or warn us, don't fight it unless you have back up"
Lionpup turned his gaze to Spottedsky as she tottered down the trail, and lay just at the edge of the bush. Lionpup didn't dare to come out, though he was trying to gain the effort and courage to stalk out and see if she was okay. But a swift grey shape caught his eye, he turned to see Swiftstar skiding down the hill towards Spottedsky. From how she acted, she probably didn't even know he was there.

Darkfur ran up to Swiftstar's side panting. "She....needs medical attencion...." catching his breath, he sniffed Spottedsky. "Are there any medicine wolves arround?"

Swiftstar turned to the black elder beside her, surprised he got here so fast, before anyone else that might be coming. She looked back, seeing no one, she shooke her head. "We have to get her back to the others" Swiftstar said, heading to stand beside Spottedsky to get her to stand and lean against her.

Spottedsky coughed up a wad of sticky blood and nosed the bush, "Get Lionpup. He's paralyzed, I think. Moonstream needs to help him." She laid down her head again, too tired to move. Her wounds burned into her brain, making it impossible to do anything but lay there. "My eye hurts.." she whimpered lightly.

"Lionpup?" Swiftstar breathed puzzled. Looking into the bush she saw a small golden pelt in the center, "What was Lionpup doing here?" She questioned, but soothed her voice for the pup to come out. "Lionpup, come out" Swiftstar turned to Darkfur, "We need help"
Lionpup slowly crept out of the bush, knowing that it was safe. Pain still seered through him, making him move only in a crouch. He made his way to Spottedsky, then looked up at Swiftstar and Darkfur, "Is she going to be ok?" He asked worried.

Spottedsky half-smiled. "I'll be okay. This Shadowclan Deputy has too many pups, young and old, to look after to die." She gave a grunt and put one of her paws under her, the blood pounded in her ears and she strained to get herself standing. Get up. You must get up..

Swiftstar caught Spottedsky on her side, and helped to push her to her feet. "Come on, I'll help you back" Her tone was still soft, full of sympathy for the Shadowclan wolf.
Lionpup tried to stand with Spottedsky, his belly fur not even reaching off the ground. 'How am I going to get back with them?' He thought desperately, Darkfur couldn't carry him.

Spottedsky collected her legs under her and winced in the tight pain in her stomach. She lifted herself up onto her paws, leaning heavily against Swiftstar. She steadied herself and tried to move one leg forward, barely catching herself. She moved her back legs under her, "I'm okay, I'm okay." She moved forward as far as she could, feeling stiffness clench her muscles. "Come on Lionpup, I'll carry you." She inched forward and locked her jaws onto his scruff, lifting him up. "My job isn't done. I still have to get you back to camp." With a grunt, she began moving forward up the hill.

"No" Lionpup rolled away from Spottedsky's grip. "You can't carry me, your hurt to bad" Lionpup rolled back on his feet, and tried to push off the ground. Pain seized his legs and back, but only pushed off past that. He stood stiffed legged, to his surprise there wasn't any pain in this position. "I can walk" he craned his neck to look up at Spottedsky.

She nodded, quietly relieved, and stumbled up the hill. She hunched her back to keep her claw wounds from ripping open and carefully tip-toed up the hill. Blood smeared on her paws tracked behind her and she felt blood sluggishly ooze out of her scratches. Once again, her stomach heaved and she hunched over, blood dripping from her throat. She tried to open her right eye but nothing happened, she still couldn't see. She turned to Swiftstar, "D-did anything happen to my eye?"

Darkfur grabed Lionpup by the scruff, quickly troting up to Spottedsky, trying not to hit Lionpup on the way. Darkfur looked at the warrior's face, his expresion didn't show anything, all he did was to stand by Spottedsky's side, offering her to lean on him. --Oh please Starclan. Why the Shadowclan deputy?--
