' i am spartan '

Rancid was hungry. He hadn't been full in a long time. He had been wandering the lands for quite awhile. From the northern sun-drown place to here. His black fur wasn't a help either in the sun. At last he settled by the river and looked into the cool waters. He fancied he saw a big juicy salmon swim by. He sat and waited for its return to snatch it up and eat. When he had succeeded however he saw it was just a small one. Not much meat on it but still better then nothing. He thought he heard the paw steps of someone approaching.

It was Cleo the small white and gray fluffy tom. His collar tag flashed in sun light and he looked at Rancid with pure hate in his eyes.
"Out of the way you piece of foxdung. Let me show you how a real cat does it," Cleo hissed.

[Tanglekit]

Rain had been watching this mysterious tom from the bushes. She saw his muscles ripple. Could he be serious... She wondered if he had ever had a soft side to him. Maybe that is why he was bitter and angry because someone he dearly loved died. She almost ran out of the bushes to leave but feared being caught by the ferocious tom. Could even her fiery temperament defeat this tom. She lay under the bushes not wanting to be seen smelled or heard....

[CROOKY]

Rancid spun around to face the loner. He looked at the collar, just like a typical kittypet. "who you calling foxdung kittypet eh?" He hissed un-sheaving his claws. He had no time for this ridiculous but maybe a good fight was just what he needed to snap out of this faze to move on...

[kltgirl]

"You, but it seems you are mouse-bained too," Cleo hissed and un sheaving his claws too. Cleo was itching for a fight and he ready to start a fight with this cat. Because of his small fame loners and other rouges thought he was weakling but he was not.

[Tanglekit]

Rain wasn't sure whether to run or just stay put. She couldn't decide and her temper got away with her she decided to wait and she how the battle came out.

[CROOKY]

Rancid hissed and then another cats scent wafted into his nose. It appeared someone was crouched waiting for them in the bushes. He stood up his claws still unsheaved. "You! Stranger in the bushes come face us like a real cat." He shouted.

[Tanglekit]

Rain was flat out angry now. She walked out of the bushes slowly and looked at both of the toms. She looked toward the one talking to her. She hissed a low hiss then her fur stood straight up. She sat down and calmed herself. "Don't mind me", She sad still a little malice in her voice.

What they didn't know, was that RunningPath was in the bushes aswell, quite further behind Rain. She glanced at them, having no clue why she was even here! She didn't move, wondering if they could sense her as well. She slowly moved upwards more, seeing the conversation quite better.

[CROOKY]

As Rancid smelled the scent of the cat he knew she wasn't the only out there. "All the cats out there may as well come out now, I've scented you." He pushed his fur back down into place and waited for all the cats to appear. He would then ask their business and get this all sorted out.

[Deleted]

RunningPath stayed in the bushes for only a few more moments, but then slunk out. She stared at Rancid, not giving any repsect, not until she knew if he was alright. She took a deep breath in, sensing something familar. "Hm.." She stared at them all, her eyes filled with more curiousity than anything else.

[CROOKY]

imputent little rat He thought as the she-cat showed herself. He heard a little 'hmmph' "What was that clan cat? You have something tos ay? Spit it out" He spat He had little patience for rude cats, no one talked to him like that unless they wanted to die. this she-cat has a death wish. He decided what other reason was a clan cat wandering on rogue territory for and then have the nerve to disrespect them.

[Deleted]

RunningPath just stood there, her tail flicking back and forth. "No, not really. I just thought it was funny how you fought with the other rogue, or Kittypet." She looked at the other cat, noticing a name-tag. She shrugged, then looked back at Rancid. "Try to harm me as you wish, but I can bet you can not."

[CROOKY]

Rancid laughed at her meeble attempts to rile him. "It would treat you well not to insult Cleo, He is a formiddable opponent. He'd skin you alive." He watched her tail lashing back and forth. thats clan cats for you always thinking they can fight better then a rogue because they were 'trained' His claws slid out razor sharp and long tipped with blood. He padded a little closer. "Now about that threat, do you really want to take me on? I thought clan cats were wiser then that."

[Deleted]

RunningPath just shrugged, "I just have a big ego is all. I know because we are clan-cats doesn't mean we could be better." She glanced at Rancid, shrugging. She just sat down, and licked a forepaw, rubbing it over her ear. "Try it, I could probably dodge it, or counter." She glanced at Rancid, not really trying to threat, she just wanted to see what he could do, or something.
