"Hey, don't thank me. I'm just saying stuff that's true. I mean, have you seen that many cats go their whole lives without a mate?"

"No." Dawnstream said quietly.

"Exactly."

Dawnstream sniffed the air carefully, she scented something strange. "Hey, do you smell that?"

Dawnstream whipped around to look at her clan mate. "I smell blood!"

Steelheart's eyes widened. "Wha-? Wait... I do to! Let's go!"

Dawnstream leapt forward & began to race in the direction of the scent. She half stumbled as she scrambled over a rock & came to an abrupt halt. Her mouth dropped open at the sight.

Steelheart slid to a stop next to Dawnstream, staring down at the scene before him.

Several kits lay scattered across the ground. A she-cat's body laid at the paws of a badger. Dawnstream's heartbeat quickened. "That's Featherwhisker! Icestorm's mate!"

"Let's not just stand here," Steelheart said, calm as could be in the face of a badger. "We need to kill it!"

Dawnstream gaped at him. She knew they were both capable fighters but two cats against a badger didn't sound like good odds. She shook those thoughts out of her head. "Alright!" She leapt down & swiped at the badger's nose. "Featherwhisker! Can you hear me?"
The she-cat didn't move.

Steelheart hopped down, ducking under a big badger paw and lunging up at the underside of it's neck, latching on with all his might.
[Yes, cats can duck.]

Dawnstream darted between the badger's paws while Steelheart had it distracted. She grabbed Featherwhisker by the scruff of her neck & dragged her out of the way. She glanced around at the kits but decided they could wait. She launched herself into the badger's face & hooked her claws into one of its eyes.

Steelheart unlached himself from the badgers neck, moving to attack it's belly as it thrashed about.
