Redfrond bristled, preparing himself to jump in between the cats if needed. The tom snarled and ducked beneath her claws before she could connect to his face. He slid underneath her belly and extended his legs, tossing her up forcefully. Blackblood jumped onto the tom and started pummeling his belly then grabbed his throat in between his jaws, lightly but firmly, letting his Dark Forest training take over slightly
She landed with a gasp but was immediately on her paws again, snarling and driving him back with Blackood’s help.
Blackblood gently pushed Snowpaw away while still keeping his jaws around the toms throat.
“Blackblood, let go!” she gasped, panicking slightly and rushing forward. She didn’t want to push Blackblood off because it would cut the brown tom’s throat even more.
He shook his head, as if clearing his head, then bit down softly, leaving a small mark before standing up. "I think it's time for you and your patrol to leave." He snarled as the brown tom got up and ran back to his friends
Snowpaw watched in shock, suddenly not feeling her own wounds.
The brown tom nodded numbly as a pinprick of blood appeared on his neck. He waved his tail and the RiverClan cats ran back to their camp and Rippleshimmer looked over her shoulder sadly at him. When she did, he dropped his gaze to his paws, not ready to meet her gaze.
“Wh-What was that?” she asked, finally able to get her words out. “He wouldn’t have hurt me too badly, I’m sure.”
"That... that was Dark Forest instincts taking over." He mewed after a few moments, looking up to meet her gaze.
“I can understand that, but...” She shook her head to clear it. “You need to try and stop! Those moves are against the warrior code!”
