Shadow heart padded softly, his pawsteps unheard in the forest. He padded swiftly out of the darkness, as rabbit washed into his nostrils. He opened his mouth to let the glands work, and he soon located the rabbit's exact position. He padded until he was a fair, safe distance away.
He dropped into a crouch, padding lightly toward the rabbit using trees and bushes for cover. Before the rabbit new what was happening, Shadowheart was upon him, fangs bared. He knocked the rabbit off its feet with a swift blow from his paw. As soon as the rabbit hit the ground, Shadowheart pounced upon it and ended its life with a quick bite.
He picked up the fresh-kill and started to walk back to camp. He decided to stop by Sunningrocks to see if he could catch anything else. He buried the rabbit, so he would be able to get it on his way back. He walked out and jumped on the rocks, looking for prey, making sure to keep close to the rocks. There was a sound of wings behind him.
Shadowheart, on instinct, rolled out of the way. The hawk's talons scraped on the rock. Shadowheart looked up, only to find that there was a pack of hawks above him. "Oh, no. This is bad," he said. "I'm going to need help!" The hawk swooped again, but Shadowheart was too quick. He rolled to the side again, hind legs pushing strongly against the ground and lunging him upward. He bit into the hawk's neck, pulling the hawk down with him. The hawk struggled, but Shadowheart's weight pulled him down. Shadowheart killed the hawk, but there was more to come...

Cinderheart was gathering herbs when she heard the shriek of a preditor, in this case a hawk. She started to leave the area, but cat scent, mixed in with the strong odor of bird, made her stop. She ignored her instinct to run, and advanced. "Is everyone all right?" she called.

Flamestorm padded through the forest, taking in the scents of the forest. Hearing the sqwark she pelted over and gasped at the scene before her.

Cinderheart padded up to the other cats, and her eyes widened in shock. She hissed at the birds of prey, but to no avail. She was only a medicine cat, and without much training in attacking. She could defend herself well enough if one came near enough, but she wasn't so sure about starting a battle with something that size with a beak and talons that had hurt many a cat previous. This was a creature that killed kits and sent warriors to her den, and occasionally to StarClan. But she couldn't be to afraid. She hoped more help would come...

Flamestorm looked around and hissed at the bird, Her flask fur bristled.

Shadowheart looked at the cats with hope. "Go, run! Get help. I will hold them back with the heart and pride of the Clan in my heart!" He jumped quickly, paws lashing out, but he missed.
The hawk swooped down quickly, and grabbed Shadowheart with sharp talons. The hawk carried him for a second, but Shadowheart hissed and lashed out with a paw, striking the hawk in the eye with a paw.
The hawk screeched and dropped Shadowheart. He hit the ground and went limp, blacking out with pain for a second. He came back a moment later, fur bristling and a growl coming from deep in his chest. He lunged at the closest hawk, close to the ground.
The hawk squawked with anger, and desperately tried to escape, but Shadowheart held him down. When they got close enough to the ground, he jumped on top of the hawk, scratching it deeply with his sharp claws. When it was clear, he quickly bit the neck of the hawk. The hawk went limp and fell, although not from a great height. Shadowheart stood up slowly and limped over to stand in front of the cats.
"You will not get them!" he hissed, his calm gone at the thought of his Clan being destroyed by hawks.

OOC: Getting help doesn't really work on this site...
Cinderheart lashed out at a hawk who hat dived at her, almost too fast to see. As it's beak neared her, she knocked it away with a clawed forleg, and the hawk was pushed to the side and almost crashed into the ground. She lept at it as it tried to dodge the looming earth, shoving it's head and body into the frozed, compact dirt. She broke it's spine with some difficulty, and it finally lay still. There weren't too many, and they were dispurcing a little, but still on sharp attack.

A black tom jolted into the camp, from the entrance, his muscles pumping as he leaped towards the sky. He unsheathed his claws and tore a bird of prey from the atmosphere; it fell to the earth, nearly dead but still alive. Midnightfang bit its neck, sending the hawk to its death, but the battle was not won yet. He panted heavily as he had killed a second bird, and ran to Cinderheart’s side. Did StarClan say anything about this? Did they give you any warning? He hissed, tearing another bird down, and snapping it’s neck.

"StarClan do not give warning for everything. This may be a warning in and of itself, of something which, while alone, is only so dangerous, but has flocked together to form something to be feared."
As she spoke, Cinderheart realized that this was true; and fear started to rush within her. She quelled it, taking a deep breath, and consentrating on the feathery neck of a low-swooping bird. She pounced, and felt her teeth sink into the meat of the preditor's side. She pulled it down, and began to rip at it's head with her claws. As she did so, it's talon caught her forleg, and she yelped. She kept fighting, as did it, until the hawk lay still and bloody.

IC: Shadowheart lunged at a hawk swooping down to Cinderheart, his mouth open and claws unsheathed. He grabbed onto the hawk and swung it into a tree, where it lay limp at the bottom of the trunk. He knew that he could not take any chances on it being dead, so he leaped on top of it and killed it.
He leaped nimbly to land beside Midnightfang, his hurt leg throbbing, yet he kept battling. "We may be able to stop them, but we need to work together. Not to give orders, but go, take those three to the left, and I'll take the right. Cinderheart, take the middle," Shadowheart said, mouth open in a snarl. OOC: Hope you don't mind the orders. Shadowheart is a natural born leader.

Cinderheart was sceptical. "I'll try, but I'm not much of a fighter. Being a medicine cat, and all." She was also a bit shaken by the fact that she had just prophecied something in a regular conversation, without noticing.

Midnightfang nodded, although he didn't really enjoy taking orders from a warrior younger then him. The deputy slashed birds left and right, some escaping with thier bodies' intact. He hissed in pain as a hawk's talons dug into his black pelted form, he wriggled free though, but only to escape with bad wounds on his shoulder. He leaped into the air and kille dthe very bird that injured him.

Shadowheart smiled encouragingly at Cinderheart as he leapt upon the first hawk to the right. He took this one down with no trouble, but the next was harder. The hawk attacked from the front while another attacked from behind. He hit the hawk bluntly with his paw, only to be grabbed by his hind leg and drug.
Shadowheart wriggled and turned around, quickly biting the hawk in the chest, making it screech and drop him. He jumped upon his paws, leaping upon the hawk, claws swiping swiftly and accurately. He laughed with exhilaration as he ran to th next, claws and fangs flying and biting with the speed and deadliness of lightning. He stopped at the end of the lines of the hawk and looked around to see how Midnightfang and Cinderheart were doing.

Cinderheart held back at first, but then though of when one of these dreaded birds had killed a kit and left a mother heartbroken. Cinderheart began to fight them, attacking as well as defending.

Shadowheart smiled at the courage and strength that Cinderheart showed. He was injured, but he could still fight. A hawk swooped over his head, and Shadowheart ducked. He quickly returned to defense, his claws flying upwards to slice through the hawk's underbelly.
"Take that, foolish creature!" Shadowheart growled.
The hawk was dazed, and started to falter in flight. He took the advantage, and jumped upon the hawk, claws and fangs biting and slicing.
