Description
Wintergreen padded over to Talonclaw, her silvery-emerald eyes rimmed with worry. "T- Talonclaw," she murmured, glancing over her shoulder at the warriors' den. "Did you h-happen to catch any of that?"
Talonclaw blinked. "Wintergreen?" He twitched his whiskers, she seemed uneasy, like a badger was going to burst out of the warrior's den. "What happened?"
Wintergreen shuffled her paws, not all to excited about having to repeat what Redstripe had told her. "B- before I go on, I'd like to clarify the fact that I honestly have no idea what Redstripe was talking about when he told me this." she began, turning to face Talonclaw. "But I figured i-it involved you. And Bravelight, too. Apparantly, Bravelight and I resemble each other in.. some way. S- So Redstripe thought I was her. And he said something about how you were right to choose her, and how she wasn't worthless to the Clan, and how Cedarpelt was just jealous because no she-cat liked him.."
The small she-cat trailed off, staring at her paws. "I.. I just don't know.."
Cedarpelt padded across the snowy clearing and Redstripe came out of the elders den and called him over.

"Cedarpelt, are you alright?"

"I'm fine?" he asked with a raised brow.

"I heard that Talonclaw was causing trouble, he was saying all sorts of dung, then he started to talk dirt about you, Quailfeather tried to defend you but Talonclaw called him a dirty midget and said something about him crawling back to the nursery where he belongs? I tried to stop it but..." he trailed off with a sigh.
Cedarpelt's blood boiled. "He did what?" he bristled and whipped around, glaring at Talonclaw with unmasked irritation. How DARE he act high and mighty to Quailfeather! What was his problem? He lashed his tail and turned to face him from a treelength away across the clearing.
"What?" Talonclaw demanded. "What did Cedarpelt say about her?" He narrowed his eyes and flexed his claws. He bristled. "Cedarpelt was talking fox-dung about Bravelight?" He furrowed his brow. Why would he do that!? Cedarpelt was one of his best friend. "Thanks Wintergreen." He meowed, trying to keep his voice level for her. He wasn't mad at her. "Excuse me..." He half growled. "I have something to take care of..." He turned his gaze across camp and saw him. The ginger tom was across camp, bristling just the same. He stalked over to him. "What do you think you were doing?" He demanded.
Cedarpelt stalked over and met him in the middle. "I was just about to ask you the same thing! Stop being such a foxheart to everyone! We don't care if you're the 'tough guy!'" He hissed, amber eyes blazing. "Just learn to keep your trap shut."
"Me?" Talonclaw hissed, bristling. "Me being a foxheart?" He spat. "Way to be a total hypocrite Cedarpelt. What happened to you? Suddenly your father's back and you turned into a total jerk! I'm on your side! What did I ever do to you!" He demanded. He'd done nothing but support Cedarpelt through everything. Against Rainpelt, against his father! Why did he have to bash at Bravelight? She was twice the warrior he was! Without her eyes!
Cedarpelt curled his lip back. "I don't even WANT him here! But we're finally getting along and you blame EVERYTHING on him! Support me? Then stop badmouthing me and stay out of my face unless you want it to get clawed!" he pinned back his ears and glared at him
"Yeah I'm blaming him! He got to you! I can see it! I haven't done anything to you! I've done nothing but tried to be a good friend for you when Rainpelt wasn't! Maybe that fox-hearted she-cat actually had the right idea! Did you take blows at Skyleaf? Leave our mates out of this! I never took you for the sore jealous type Cedarpelt. Get over yourself!" Talonclaw narrowed his eyes and bared his teeth.
Cedarpelt flinched when the insult came and he slammed his head into Talonclaw's chest knocking him onto his back and dug his claws into his chest. "You both think you're so much better because you have mates! Has it ever ocured to EITHER of you I don't WANT one! NO! Because its all about you! YOU YOU YOU! I'm sick of it! I'm not rolling over and letting you or Rainpelt walk over me anymore! And since you turned out to be a backstabber I guess I haven't lost another friend after all!" he shoved him aside and remained standing where he was. Fight me, give me another reason to hurt you. he thought angrily
Talonclaw shoved Cedarpelt away from him. But it wasn't the claw wounds Cedarpelt has just scored on his chest. It was the stab inside his chest as the insult. I hadnt backstabbed Cedarpelt!!! Never! He gritted his teeth, he'd never felt to betrayed and fury burned in his chest. "You fox-hearted coward!" He meowed and dove at Cedarpelt, rage brightened his golden eyes as he rolled Cedarpelt over, pinning him to the ground. He spat in his face, "I thought we were friends! Your the best one I had. But I guess I was wrong!" He drew his paw back and brought it hard across Cedarpelt's face, clawing his cheek. "I trusted you!"
Cedarpelt wanted to beleive him but the claws that Talonclaw brought down on his face quickly shut him down. His face stung, he kicked hard at Talonclaw's belly with his hind paws, battering him off so he could get out from under him. He glared at him, his eyes stilled a moment, he was so miserable that this was happening, he couldn't beleive it was happening! Pain brought him back to reality and he slashed out at Talonclaw's nose. "Go pick on someone else!" he snapped
"You talk big." Talonclaw spat, jerking back as Cedarpelt swipped at his nose. "But you can't fight can you!?" He hissed, this wasn't happening! But he was going to defend Bravelight when nobody else could. He wasn't going to let her get picked on and just let it be. If only it wasn't Cedarpelt... He trusted him.. He thought he understood. He shook his head. "Take some of your own advice!" He hissed as he lunged forward and rammed with his broad shoulder heavily into Cedarpelt's chest.
Scorchfur was in the medicine cat's den checking up on the sick and injured when he heard a rise of snarls in the clearing. "What in the name of StarClan?" He declared, getting to his paws.
As Talonclaw swiped at Cedarpelt, Eaglekit broke free from Smalltail's grasp and plunged toward the two fighting toms. "Quit it!" she growled, tugging at Talonclaw's tail. "Stop fighting!" she pushed against Cedarpelt's leg, trying to push them apart. She wished fervently that she had claws again.
The air was smashed out of Cedarpelt's chest and he was knocked to the ground, gasping for air. He gritted his teeth in pain and kicked out at Talonclaw's legs to knock him down. He couldn't breath as he tried to force air into his lungs.
Quailfeather pricked his ears. "What's going on?" he mewed and untagled himself from Rainpelt and hurried outside. "Hey! Hey cut it out!" he rushed over but the kick that had been meant for Talonclaw hit him hard in the flank and sent the small warrior hard into the side of the nursery. He hit it and fell down with a yelp of pain.
Talonclaw lunged at Cedarpelt and dug his claws into his flank and dragged them across the ginger fur, He fought as though he were attacking an enemy on the border, his dialated until Eaglekit's cries and plese brought him too, He blinked and shook his head. "Eaglekit stay out of this!" He demanded, stumbled away from Cedarpelt when he saw the blood on his claws.
Scorchfur stormed out of the Medicine cat's den. he could smell blood and he spotted the two toms. "Stop!" He yowled, but Talonclaw had already stumbled away, though his shoulder fur still bristled hostily. "What in the name of StarClan is going on? You two are friends!"
Eaglekit staggered away, whimpering as she saw Cedarpelt kick Quailfeather away violently. Her eyes wide, she stared terrified up at the older tom. The only cat she actually liked, aside from her littermates. She'd never thought he could be so...so scary.
Cedarpelt cried out and stumbled away from Talonclaw, blood seeping through the fur on his flank, red blood clashing with his dark ginger fur. He winced in pain then froze seeing Quailfeather hurt. "Quail..." he breathed and tried to cross over to him but stumbled hard in the snow and cringed at the pain in his side.

Redstripe had watched the whol thing in cruel satisfaction but now he had a role to play. Bounding over her stood protectively over Cedarpelt and glared at Talonclaw. "I thought they were friends too." he snorted at Scorchfur. He grasped Cedarpelt's scruff roughly.
"Ow!" Cedarpelt hissed trying to resist but Redstripe drug him away from Talonclaw then set him down and stood in front of him.
Fernkit squeaked in fright and ran over to Quailfeather and nosed his cheek. "Quailfeather?? Quailfeather get up!"
Cedapelt tried to squint over at the small brown tom. "No! No! I Hurt him! Quailfeather! Oh StarClan no! Quailfeather!" he tried to stand up but Redstripe put a heavy paw on his shoulders, holding him down. "You're hurt." he growled.
"I don't care!" Cedarpelt snapped but gasped in pain. His eyes were wide and scared as he looked over at the small tom...
Talonclaw bared his teeth at Redstripe and stumbled back a few pawsteps. His eyes suddenly vancent. He couldn't bring himself to meet Scorchfur's eyes, or Eaglekit's or Cedarpelt's of coruse. He looked at the blood on his white paws and gritted his teeth. What had he done? But his pelt still burned with fury, was he even sorry he'd done it? His nose and chest stung from Cedarpelt's claws, but he hardly felt them.
Scorchfur looked sharply between Talonclaw and Cedarpelt. "What was going on here." He demanded harshly and turned his red gaze to Talonclaw.
"Nothing." Talonclaw replied soarly.
"It wasn't nothing Talonclaw!" Scorchfur meowed, his shoulder fur rising slightly. But not in rage. But in disappointment in his clanmates. "Mossheart!" Scorchfur called, seeing the she-cat shifting on her paws anxiously on the sidelines. The whole camp had seen this. "Get Quailfeather to Elkdapple." He ordered.
Mossheart got quickly to her paws and rushed over to Fernkit and Quailfeather. She nosed his cheek.
"Owlflight, go with her." He added, knowing she'd wish to be with her son. Stonestar was out of camp again... he'd have to settle this himself.
Owlflight had been crouching by her son and helped Mossheart bring him over to the den.
Cedarpelt watched with horrified eyes. "It was an accident..." he could barely speak above a strained whisper of shock. "I didn't mean to hurt him, I swear!" he looked weakly at Scorchfur. "I would never hurt Quailfeather!"
"Well you just knocked him out and hurt him anyway so hush!" Redstripe snapped and Cedarpelt quailed under his words and lowered his gaze, hot tears of fear welled in his amber eyes and when he blinked they fell and burned a hole through the dusting of snow on the ground. Glaring through tear stained eyes he looked at Talonclaw. "You won." he said in a quiet, tense voice. "Happy?" he tried to stumble to his paws again, his flank scratches bleeding down his back leg. He nearly fell but Redstripe gave him his shoulder and held him up. he looked at Scorchfur to see if they could leave the interrogation.

This is Talonclaw's and Cedarpelt's fight, I drew it of the part right before they started tearing at eachother.
I really need to work on snowy backgrounds. This battle took place in the NightClan camp right after the first snowfall of leaf-bare.
Cedarpelt didn't come out at all how I had hoped he would, Sorry Ski!!!
Background needs work. meh.

BTW they were both fed lies to that they would fight. Redstripe, Cedarpelt's father, was trying to seperate him from all his friends, which he succeeded in doing, so that Cedarpelt would feel so miserable in NIghtClan that he'd leave. When he leaves with his father, Redstripe intends to kill him to avenge the death of his mate who died protecting Cedarpelt as a kit. He thinks that it's Cedarpelt's fault for killing Dawnrose.
