RiverClan had rights to fish and swim in the river, even if it was on the border with SkyClan. Foxface knew this. He knew it for sure- he kept reminding himself of this fact, over and over. Still, the tom's copper eyes kept wandering from the river to the opposite side of the border, where looming trees and the far bank marked the start of SkyClan's side of the border.
[break][break]
Normally, this was not the RiverClan warrior's choice fishing spot. It was far too close to the border, far too close to where he might encounter an enemy warrior... and he was alone. Foxface swallowed, forcing his gaze back towards the slow-moving waters, trying not to think of the worst case scenario as was a habit of his. He needed to catch something before returning to camp, and the other inlets he had tried seemed to be barren- no doubt the fish had been scared off by some apprentices splashing around in the water, now that it was finally warm enough. Worst come to worst, Foxface could always try his luck with land hunting.
[break][break]
He sat there a few moments longer, sinking deeper into his concentration; his only movement was his ginger tail twitching slightly behind him. Vague shadows flickered in the water, just beneath the surface. He bided his time, but his claws slowly unsheathed. Finally, he lifted a paw cautiously into the air.
[break][break]
With a quick strike and a small splash, Foxface flipped a silver fish out of the water, killing it quickly with a bite. A wave of relief washed over him warmly... and was just as quickly replaced with anxiety as the scent of SkyClan- and another, stranger scent, one he didn't recognize- hung in the air. Puzzled and nervous, the ginger tom's fur fluffed up slightly as he searched for the source of both smells with pricked ears and wide eyes.

let's start a riot for the fun of it

[attr="class","itdscroll"]Spiderfang slunk along the riverbank without purpose in his steps. He stopped every so often to lie down in a particularly sunny spot, the warm newleaf glow warming his black fur. The lithe tom was not making much progress down the riverside, despite his long ground-eating legs. Spiderfang rather preferred to take his time and laze his way down the river, scratching up earth with idle claws and rubbing his itchy spine against the solid ground. He found a patch of new springy grass, bursting up from the earth like a stubborn sprout of tufted kit fur, and rolled in it with vigor. The grass was somewhat bent and forlorn-looking when he arose, having thoroughly squashed its personality, but all Spiderfang could feel was that new grass smell burrowing into his brain. He liked these long walks of his, all alone and unbothered by the harrowing masses. Skyclan, in particular, seemed to have its fair share of idiots. Lately, all these idiots did was display their stupidity for the world to see and for Spiderfang to bear witness to. He was about sick of the lot of them, clan or no clan. There was just not enough common sense in Skyclan, these days.

Spiderfang padded a few foxlengths away, pawsteps as creeping and soundless as the steps a long-legged spider might take on its spider web. He felt increasingly like such an animal, tripping on the power lines of creatures everywhere around him, fools flying into his space and disrupting his solitude with their buzzing. Spiderfang liked to prey on the weak and wimpy, but even he got tired of dealing with their dung constantly. Spiderfang's tail whipped around behind him just thinking about his clan mates and their clamoring. "How many kittens would Pinestar have if I eat someone?" He wondered out loud. And then, "Ah, but Pinestar having kittens might be worth the bellyache alone." Spiderfang chuckled to himself and carried on, heartened by the idea of his esteemed leader birthing a whole nursery full of brats in response to whomever Spiderfang had downed. His train of thought was amusing to the morbidly-minded tom, but not so entertaining that he didn't notice the scent of a Riverclanner nearby. Spiderfang pricked his ears curiously and turned his attention onto the opposite riverbank. He could beat a hasty retreat and avoid confrontation.... but who was Spiderfang kidding, that wouldn't be any fun at all.

He trotted after the scent, only vaguely familiar to him, and halted upon sighting the Riverclan tom, who was fishing on the opposite bank. The other cat was of a handsome sort and unluckily so, as noticing his good looks irritated Spiderfang, who opened his mouth to say something horrid, only for another scent to hit him. He shut his mouth immediately and tilted his head, pricking his ears and drawing in a deep breath of air. Is that... dog? The longer he stood there, seconds ticking by, the more aware and certain of that scent he became. Spiderfang loitered, eyes on the Riverclan tom, who glanced up with nervous eyes. Spiderfang hesitated. I could abandon him to his fate. A fat Riverclan dealing with a savage dog on a warm sunny day, that sounds like a good afternoon. But... The more Spiderfang hesitated, the more he was aware of his personally endangering this cat. And if I'm being fair, he's really not fat.. oh, for Starclan's sake. Spiderfang growled to himself finally and raised his voice, snapping, "There's a dog on your side of the river, birdbrain!"

TAGGING ame with Foxface; Spider's actually the worst omg. Maybe you could have the dog appear in your next post and then Spider can swim very badly/flop across the river and save him? That sound good?

Anxiety sunk its claws into his stomach as his fur continued to fluff up. There was nothing worse than knowing of a threat but unable to see it. He rose to his paws, claws unsheathing almost reluctantly. He wasn’t much of a fighter- getting caught alone was one of his worst fears, particularly by a predator or a rogue. At least warriors, even enemy warriors, were bound by the warrior code.
[break][break]
He spotted the SkyClan cat first, and took a precautious step backwards. Tall and solid black with bright yellow eyes, Foxface couldn’t help but turn his ears back at the sight of the other tom. The other more foreign scent forgotten, he regarded the opposing warrior with bright, worried eyes. He knew it had been a mistake to come here to fish. Foxface’s mind immediately jumped to the worst-case scenario, and he swallowed, bracing himself for a confrontation and very much wishing that another one of his clanmates would stumble by before anything could happen.
[break][break]
The black tom opened his mouth to say something, and Foxface tried unsuccessfully to make himself seem stern… but he paused.
[break][break]
The seconds were painful. The RiverClan tom pricked his ears. "There's a dog on your side of the river, birdbrain!"
[break][break]
He’d protest the insult if the words hadn’t struck him like a stone. Foxface whipped around in time to see what could only be a dog bounding towards him- a large, hulking black-and-white dog with a collar absent from its neck. His first instinct was to sprint off- he was no WindClan cat, but he was fast, faster than a good amount of his companions. But the gruff, imagined voice of his mentor Owlclaw filled his mind: “The river’s your best bet; no one and nothing else fights in the water.”
[break][break]
Without taking his eyes off the creature, Foxface backed into the river, hissing quietly as the cool water surrounded his paws, his legs, his shoulders. He was still on his own side of the river- the last thing he needed was to let the SkyClanner jump on his back. But a cold fear still gripped him as he watched the dog draw closer and closer. ‘Take the fish, take the fish, just take the fish and go,’ he pleaded, cautiously widening his stance and lowering his body, his chin nearly touching the surface of the water.
[break][break]
A splash announced the dog’s choice to instead follow the RiverClanner into the water; Foxface squinted against the flying water droplets and grit his teeth. Panic bubbled in his chest as he waited, unwilling to take the first swipe. Maybe, maybe, if he didn't antagonize it, it would decide he wasn't worth it and leave. The tom wasn't too hopeful.
[break][break]

[attr="class","itd"]

let's start a riot for the fun of it

[attr="class","itdscroll"]The Riverclanner backed up into the river, away from the dog, while Spiderfang paced on Skyclan's bank, ears flat against his skull. It would be easy to leave, to slip away into Skyclan's woods and leave this tom to fend for himself. Spiderfang could slip away without another word, having warned this tom of his danger, and let nature take care of itself. But... as much as he wanted to give Magpiestar something sour to think about, leaving now would be cowardly. Spiderfang hissed, his distaste sticking in his throat. When have I ever ran from a fight? He rolled out his shoulders and glanced back at the dog, who stepped over the fish as though it wasn't even there, zeroed in on the cat in the river. "Of course," Spiderfang muttered. He backed up, shook himself up again to fluff out his fur, and then took a running leap into the river.

The black tom couldn't see through the river water that sprang up from his smacking the water with all four paws, but the dog hesitated at the sudden crash. Spiderfang floundered briefly, before getting all four paws beneath him, and he half-swam half-waddled to the tom's side. Spiderfang shook out his fur again, letting the water spike his pelt up, and snarled, putting his lungs behind the sound and letting it belt out, back arching to push the volume out like a war cry. "Come on, then!" He called, tail lashing animatedly behind him. "Bet you won't take on two warriors, you ugly cur." Spiderfang was wrong. The dog took another step, ears pricked and big eyes wide in confusion, as though considering his options with interest and consternation both.

Spiderfang snarled again and slipped forward, turning aside just enough to come between the dog and the Riverclan warrior. His black body looked like a slashing claw mark, curved between threat and threatened. "Try me," he invited the dumb brute, whiskers drawn back by his vicious grin. "I dare you."

A sudden crash to his left nearly made Foxface jump out of his pelt, half-thinking another dog had arrived on the scene. But no, it was the warrior from the other side of the border. The last thing he expected was for the SkyClan cat to join him in the river, and for a split second he worried if the black tom would drown- they couldn't possibly be good swimmers, right? [break][break]

The RiverClanner's eyes flicked back towards the dog. Luckily enough the commotion had a similar effect on the beast, it's attention temporarily torn between the two warriors. Somehow with a bit of extra splashing, the tom made it over to Foxface and let out what was probably the most ferocious snarl he'd ever heard. Foxface would be impressed if he wasn't so terrified, his gaze still fixed on the dog even as the SkyClanner turned to stand between the two. [break][break]

'Go away, go away, go away,' Foxface found himself mentally pleading with the dog, but the longer it stood there, the more acutely he felt his heart sinking in his chest. After another second or two of what seemed to be deliberation, the tom saw it's eyes fix at last on the black-furred warrior.
[break][break]

"Oh no you-!" He started just as the dog lunged forward. Instinctively he struck at the surface of the river at an angle, sending a shower of droplets flying towards it. They hit their mark, splashing on its face and in its eyes, forcing it into a half-blind charge instead. Immediately he aimed to shoulder the other tom out of the dog's way, leaving himself with just barely enough time to dodge. [break][break]

His feet slipped briefly out from under him in the attempt and he plunged underwater. With a hard kick, Foxface propelled himself away from the chaos of bubbles and thrashing, and soon resurfaced a few foxlengths behind the dog. Eyes wide, he looked for the SkyClan warrior first.

[attr="class","itd"]

let's start a riot for the fun of it

[attr="class","itdscroll"]The dog bristled with violence, a snarling bramble edged with thorns, its lips peeled back to uncover dirty teeth. Spiderfang revealed his own fangs with a hefty hiss. The tom behind him made no noise that Spiderfang could hear; perhaps he would flee. Not out of character for his clan, Spiderfang thought derisively, and so he was astonished when Foxface pushed him aside. The dog lunged forward as Spiderfang sprawled, too surprised to catch himself in the spray of water and slick pebbles flurrying beneath his grabbing paws. He snagged on a submerged limb, hind paws bracing against the thin branch, and lashed out reflexively with his paw. The dog was half-turned between them, apparently unsure of which tom to pursue, and so Spiderfang yowled at him. Given that Spiderfang was the closer target, the dog swiveled to him, its coal-black nose flared hard in rage. In the same breath as his ferocious yowl, Spiderfang snapped at Foxface, "Fight or get out of the way!" His amazement that Foxface hadn't turned tail and fled buried itside beneath his battle lust, sure to rear its unexpected head again later, but Spiderfang could not focus on that now and bared his teeth again, making enough noise for a whole patrol of Skyclan warriors.

Proving its general inferiority as a species and mammal, the dog made the mistake of turning its black gaze on Foxface. Spiderfang launched himself up and collided with its side, clawing at the skin-slippery ribs there. His claws came away clumped with fur and he slid off into the water, as the dog spun in a rapid circle. The mutt created its own current, a wave that crashed over the Skyclanner. Spiderfang backpedaled, river water clouding his eyes, and scrubbed at his face with a wet paw in the hope of freeing his gaze. In his blurry sights, the soaked tom could see Foxface and blinked hard. Why doesn't he just run? Confusion swept over him again, but he crouched and blinked hard, clearing his gaze of dirty water and his mind of doubts. If Foxface was here, he might as well make himself useful. "Attack it from behind! I will keep its front end busy. Together we can confuse it enough to give up and leave!" It was Spiderfang's business and Spiderfang's business alone that he allowed Foxface to deal with the less dangerous side of the brute animal; after all, Spiderfang always welcomed a challenge, so it was perfectly natural that he insist on fighting its teeth. Spiderfang snarled. Mine are a match for anyone's anyway.

The lithe black tom lunged forward, clawing at its nose and dancing out of reach, issuing a throaty challenge all the while. Excitement and adrenaline warred in his veins, equal measures of his delight at this game. In the face of a dog's slavering jaws, what did Spiderfang really have to fear?

TAGGING ame FINALLY. We can end the fight itself with your next post, if you wanna, or with my next one, whatever!

He was able to relax (albeit only slightly) when he saw the SkyClan warrior, black fur spiked from the river water. Between the other warrior’s ferocity and the dog’s viciousness, Foxface would be hard pressed to choose which he’d rather cross. Luckily- or perhaps unluckily- he didn’t have to.[break][break]

"Fight or get out of the way!"[break][break]

The ginger tom almost winced at the other’s words, but he did his best to steel himself, turning his full attention to the beast of a dog before him and resuming his defensive position. It was a tense few heartbeats before it turned its gaze back towards him, and anxiety flared in his chest like a raging forest fire. Foxface was prepared to dodge once more, but motion out of the corner of his eye made him stop short. It was the SkyClanner, rushing in to attack the dog- guilt leaned on him, and he edged forward, ready and willing to provide support before panic could overtake him. He didn’t have to wait long to receive his opportunity.[break][break]

"Attack it from behind! I will keep its front end busy,” came his rescuer’s voice, and with the added direction Foxface was able to at least partially suppress the part of his mind that kept reminding him that he was definitely going to die if he kept this up.[break][break]

They attacked together- as the black warrior lunged at the dog’s face, the ginger one leapt at it’s back. His hind claws hooked into the dog’s flank, digging through its slick fur and meeting flesh. In the confusion of battle, Foxface had the briefest thought that it was easier than holding onto a fish, but was quickly brought back to his senses when the dog tried to buck him off, water churning and droplets flying. Between the two warriors attacking, it whined briefly, evidently regretting its decision to pick this fight. Foxface only relinquished his grip when the dog stumbled, bleeding from both its hind leg and face, and took off in the opposite direction at an awkward sprint.[break][break]

Foxface had half a mind to pursue the dog, but his paws were trembling from the adrenaline, and he only managed a few steps forward. Still trying to catch his breath, his gaze flicked towards he other warrior. “Um, t-thanks for the help,” he said. That was more than help, he saved you. “I, I mean…“ Oh great StarClan. He should have just given himself up to the dog.

[break][break]
hallelujah with Spiderfang[break]
