Claw cleared the chain-linked fence, landing neatly on the other side. "Cm'on Carver, you're getting slower than an old badger!" he mewed playfully.

Carver just smiled, though it really wasn't noticable under all the feathers of the hawk, and cleared the fence as easily as Claw. "This ol' badger could beat you in his sleep," he called through the feathers, continuing foreward. He didn't quicken his pace though, for tripping wasn't fun and with a hawk in his mouth, one slip could do some damage.

Claw laughed, picking the prey back up before running after Carver. He stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes shot open. Blood? he thought, his tail flicking. Mingled with Lilac's scent...oh no. "CARVER!!" he called. "We have to find Lilac now!" he meowed worriedly.

Carver stopped and turned to look at Claw. His expression wasn't one of worry, but as soon as he put down the hawk to ask why, his eyes alit. "Let's go!" he yowled, leaving his catch. He pumped his legs hard, propelling himself faster than he had ever run before. He rounded a corner fast, but skillfully skid and didn't slow his pace; though at the speed he was going, he didn't get away unscathed. On the rough concrete, the sudden change of direction and high speed had torn off most of the bottoms of his pads. Despite ignoring the pounding in his paws, he kept his pace, but left a distinct trail of bloody pawprints the rest of the way.

Claw took to the low rooftops, clearing over the occasional concrete decorations that were neatly spread apart from each other. His paws burnt as he skid to round a bend before jumping onto a thin wire then onto a tin garbage can, meeting side by side with Carver. "What has she gotten herself into now?" he said to himself, muted by the wind as the sped through the gridded alleyways.

"I have no idea," Carver breathed. "But I don't intend to let her get away with anything. That she-cat has been trouble from the start and she needs to be taught a lesson." He picked up his pace and raced ahead, his paws pounding the concrete as he sped through the streets and allys. Finally, he caught wind of Lilac and Starla and wasted no time in rushing after their scent trail. When he finally caught up to the she-cats he quickly slowed his pace as the three came face to face. "What happened," he asked calmly, trying to not pin everything on Lilac until he knew what had happened.

Claw looked down, his tail flicking. But....I love her... he thought before skidding to a halt gasping.
Lilac heaved, her eyes still slitted though her face was turned toward the ground. She looked up, blood hatching and spattering her cream fur her teeth bore. Starla looked at Claw, worried.
Claw's ears fell behind his skull his eyes widening. Lilac laughed wearily, "Answer your question?" she asked.

Carver narrowed his eyes and flattened his ears, his claws slowly extending. "Lilac, you're mousebrained if you think you can get away with hurting another band member. ESPECIALLY a kit. I have no idea what your problem is, but nothing, and I mean nothing, is an excuse to hurt a kit. Layla is as innocent as they come, and I do not intend to stand by as you tear her to pieces and walk away without remorse." He took an offensive step foreward, claws fully unsheathed and head held high and proud. Carver was never one to fight if it could be avoided; most of the time he was never around to get into a fight anyway. But peacefully and carefree as he was, he never let punishments go ungiven. And Lilac deserved a punishment.

Azure ran to find a warm place to but Layla. Great it is freezing out here and I am no medic.....crap if I don't find help soon she could die! Lilac you pushed it this time, if this kit was not this badly injured I will have your head, but if I waisted to much time Layla would die. shit what am I suppose to do? I need help!
Layla small limb body lay helpless in Azures mouth it was about to go numb and she was covered with blood. She took one last look around before she passed out.

"I don't plan on fighting you Carver. I've had my share for today, she asked for the fight and I gave it to her. She didn't tell me to stop so I didn't. I'm going to clean myself up now if you don't mind." she growled, leaping onto the concrete ledge and jumping over the brick wall.
Claw stood there, dumbfounded. Lilac was never the one to hurt a kitten.

Carver growled, though not very loudly. He would not let her get away with this. "Lilac!" he almost screeched. He knew she was still in hearing range. "Lilac stop right there and help me and Claw carry back the prey we killed. You're not going to get away without punishment, and I'll be sure to talk to Azure before this is all over."

Azure looked down at the kit in his mouth. Great she is out where the hell am I suppose to find someone to heal her, if I don't find someone soon she is going to die! "damn you Lilac." He growled to himself.

Carver sniffed as Lilac didn't respond. He whipped around and stalked past Claw, the blood on his pads still leaving clear marks. "I don't care how you feel about Lilac. Love her all you want. But know this, I don't support her in any way. And if you two do get together, I won't support you either," he growled as he passed the tom, his tone harsh. The swift, lithe cat bolted away, heading back to get the prey he and Claw had caught.

Azure kept running until he found a small warm den, he hurried and ran inside it. This will have to do for now....but this will not keep her alive...I need a medical cat, and fast. He looked down at the bleeding kit. I need to stop the blood then I will go look for help. He thought running from the den and gathering some leaves, and then wrapped them around her lean body. Cobwebs would do much better but it is the middle of winter.....this is all a got. He licked the top of her head. "Hang in there Layla, I'm going to get help, and everything will be alright, just stay here." He said. stopped licking her head and then sprinted out of the den. He ran as fast as he could before he saw Carver. Carver......maybe he could help... He thought, then rushed up beside him. "Carver....I need your help, it's Layla." He spoke out of breath.

Carver stopped running and turned to see Azure sprinting after him, lightly sprinkled with Layla's blood. Oh no. He turned to meet the tom, his expression serious. "I know what Lilac did to her, but honestly, I can't really help. I'll stay with her and do what I can, but I'm certainly not an expert when it comes to herbs," he replied, hanging his head. "I don't want to see her die, but like I said, I'll do what I can."
