Border Patrol

*Rockstar gathers up the Noon patrol. Nettlebrook, Emberpaw and Rockstar leave camp and head toward the Oak Waterfall near the Rocky Oak River.* Ok Emberpaw, what do you smell? *Emberpaw raises her head into the air and drinks in the air.* I smell... water vole... and mouse and... hmmm... FOX! *She screamed in alarm. Rockstar raises her head and drinks in the air.* Quick everyone hide under the brambles! *She whispered. They heard a rustling in the bushes and peek out of their hiding spot to see a young fox scuffling among the leaves.* Emberpaw, go back to camp and get Tigeroak, Jaggedfang, Leopardpelt and Mudpelt. Hurry! *Rockstar hissed urgently. Emberpaw nodded and dashed off through the undergrowth silently. She returned some time later with the four warriors Rockstar had requested.* We must chase it away before it gets one of our kits or harms us. The mother could be lurking around somewhere. Rockstar and Tigeroak slowly creeped out of the brambles and stood a few tail-lengths away from the fox. It's head shot up at the sight of the cats. It crouched low onto the ground and hissed menacingly. Rockstar and Tigeroak hissed back, taking a few steps forward. The fox stood its ground. Leopardpelt came out of the undergrowth some tail lengths to the right with Emberpaw at her side. Heartbeats later, Jaggedfang and Mudpelt came out of the bushes to the left of Rockstar. hey joined together and hissed at the fox in unison. They took a few steps forward, bringing them only two tail-lengths away from the fow. The fox gave one last hiss and ran off in the direction of the border. The five warriors and apprentice chased after the fox to make sure it left OakClan territory.* We will have to keep an eye on this border to make sure it doesn't come back. Good work! *On the way back to camp, the group hunted.*
