Animal was paced the border vigilantly, eyes looking around, in case a Clan launched a counter-attack on ShadowClan. There weren't a lot of cats standing guard, since the only thing to guard were Ravenfeather's kits and Crowstorm's herbs. Animal's ears pricked up as he heard footsteps in the distance. Whatever was making the footsteps, it was a tad too hard on its feet to be a cat. Animal smelled it. It didn't smell like any Clan..
It took him a minute to recognize the smell, since it was running right towards ShadowClan camp.
"Dog!" Animal yowled, hackles raising. "Quickly, move Ravenfeather's kits to Crowstorm's den! We can't leave the herbs and both cats vulnerable!"
Animal looked about, and saw that Ravenfeather already had her clearly dead orange kit, which she was still hanging onto for some reason. She put it in Crowstorm's den, and then ran back to the nursery, fetching her other two kits. Just as her tail disappeared into his den with the last kit, a dog entered camp.
It was white with black spots, and had a nearly flat face. It was thin, and its ears were half-up, half-down. It stood above the cats, by a few kit-strides, but its fangs were sharper than any of the cats in the Clan. It stood there for a moment, when none of the cats moved, teeth revealed, eyes narrowed.
Animal growled, and it stared down at the little cat, who was completely dwarfed by this creature. Animal ran forward, and jumped to its chest, clawing it there multiple times, expecting it to run away like dogs did where he lived as a kit.
Instead, the dog waited for Animal to jump off of it, and then reached down with open jaws, and hateful eyes. It snapped on Animal's tail, causing him to yowl with pain at the mere power of the attack. Animal ran a distance away, and the dog only chased after him. He attempted to wind up a tree, but his tail made him have slow progress.
The dog put its paws up to the tree, and barked at the little golden tabby, who clung to the tree, just out of its reach, looking down at the dog, hoping that he didn't fall.

Flameshade's head poked out of the nursery in a thought to follow her sister. She was still heavily pregnant, and she knew she would be risking the lives of her kits to fight the dog. She stayed to the shadows, her green eyes tracking the dog the entire way. Then, the dog looked over from the tree and spotted her. It slowly lowered itself to the ground and it sprang at her. out of instinct she backed up into a bush, spitting at the lumbering creature. She slashed out with her caws and managed to strike one of it's eyes, keeping her paw away from it's slavering jaws. That was when she felt small movements along her stomach. As the dog was distracted, she pushed her way into Crowstorm's den, her breath ragged. "The kits! I think they're coming!" That was when a large contraction hit her frame and she gasped in pain as the first kit started to be born.

[[midd that the dog's a terrier, so the more you run, the more riled up it gets]]
The dog growled, and ran after Flameshade, trying to get into Crowstorm's den. It poked its head inside of he den, and growled madle. It shoulders were just too big for it to make it all the way in. however, it would be no time until the dog figured out that it just needed to get down for a few moments..
Animal flung himself off the tree, and onto all fours. The ran towards the dog, and bit its back leg. It growled with the pain of the cats teeth, and whipped around, flinging Animal off of it. Animal hissed as he skidded against the ground, and saw the dog coming towards her. "Crowstorm! Just make sure Flameshade's okay! I'll kill this beast!" Animal slashed at it as it neared him with bared teeth. The dog got cut on the nose, and it hopped back, yelping for a little bit. Animal rose to his paws, and tried slashing at it a few times, hoping that he could evade the dog's more powerful attacks.

Crowstorm rushed his sister into the den, and lashed out at the dog. "Get out of here you disgusting creature!" He yowled angrily, thinking of something to use. Scratching it's nose again, he ran back into his den. "Deathberries... deathberries!" He mewoed, searching for them. He scooped them up in his mouth, knowing he'd be risking his life to put them in the mouth of the dog.
He shot out of the den, and towards the food pile. It was scrawny, and he picked out a bloody squirrel. Ripping it open with his claws, he shoved the berries in, and licked his paws. "Oi, dog! Come here for what you want!" He yowled, hooking onto the squirrel's tail and waving it above his head. He crouched low, ready to flee when the dog came towards him.

The dog stared at the bloody squirrel, and puffed its nostrils a few times, and then sneezed. It was transfixed by the sharp smells that came off of it, but it didn't seem to take much interest in actually eating it. It slowly padded forward, and stared down at the squirrel, touching its blood with its tongue a few times. The dog wasn't quite sure what to do with it, so he just stood over it for a moment, looking at it. Everything seemed to be still for a moment, and then suddenly Animal muttered:
"Damn dog doesn't even know how to eat.." He then started pacing, and that riled the dog back up. Animal saw it running towards him, and did a lap around the camp, trying to lose it. However, it was too fast for him, and it was gaining on him. Animal decided to whip around, and claw at it with his small but powerful claws. After scratching it about four times, the dog snapped its jaws on Animal's paw. A snap could be heard as Animal toppled down to the ground, paw bent. The dog stared at Animal for a few moments, as he slowly got back up onto three paws. The dog never seemed to want to kill him while he was down, but merely wanted to give slow torture to the cats, it seemed.

"CROWSTORM! You stupid idot of a mousebrain, get ovr here! The kits are coming, foxdung!" she yowled at her brother who was trying to distract the dog. Luckily, her kits were full term and might come easily, through all the pain she had giving birth to them. Though Crowstorm wasn't in the den, a contraction pushed the first kit out of her. She reached around instinctively and pulled the kit to her mouth and licked it clean as the second kit started to be born. When all the blood was off of the little kit, she noted that it was a red calcio like herseld. The little tom wriggled under her loving actions. "A little warrior already..." Then, a contraction made the second kit born.
She performed the same actions, but she also pushed the little red calcio over to one of her teats so he could start nursing. When the blood was cleared form this little kit, she took note that it was an orange tabby like her mother. Her green eyes got softer as she pushed that little tom over to another one of her teats as another kit was born. The actions she performed were the same, except she noticed that this little kit looked like her father. It was also the first she-kit in her litter. She pushed the little she-kit to one of her teats and gasped in pain as a contraction pushed the final kit out of her. As she cleaned the blood she stoped, loked at Crowstorm out of the den, and turned her attention back to the crow black kit.

Animal took a few steps back, his entire body surging with pain from the two terrible wounds. He charged forwards again, going to slam the dog on both side of his muzzle, since that seemed to be its weak spot. Animal scratched it once on the muzzle, and then hissed. The dog took a step back, and Animal slashed at it's muzzle a few more times. The dog bared its teeth. Animal jumped back about a tail length, and his fur prickled. It's face was bleeding badly, and it was clearly feeling a lot of pain in its face. Animal decided to use his smaller size to his advantage. Animal limped forward as fast as he could, and made it under the dogs legs. It tried moving about, to get at Animal, but Animal couldn't be seen by the dog. He clawed at the dog's belly, and left deep marks. The dog tried to sidestep, so that it could get at Animal, but Animal stayed under it. He did another slash, this time not as strong, but the dog got just as mad. Just go away, stupid dog! Animal thought. He hoped that it would leave, so that Crowstorm could heal his wounds.

"Animal! Get into my den!" Crowstorm yowled. He leaped onto the dogs back, and bit hard at the back of it's neck. He held on tight as it tried to shake him off, and thrashed about wildly. Crowstorm had his eyes shut tight, clinging the dog for dear life, trying to kill it so it wouldn't harm the cats in the clan.
He heard more footsteps; cats running towards the camp. One of them was a white tom, and Crowstorm knew with this tom around, the dog would be defeated much easier. He jumped from the dog, who turned and hit him with it's heavy head. Crowstorm was sent sprawling to the floor, and gasped for air; he'd been winded and couldn't breath. He heard the white tom roar and leap upon the dog, tearing at it's eyes and face.

The dog's head was dragged downwards by the tom's weight. It must have had an idea, though, as it lifted its head up for a few moments, and then slammed its head down, crushing the tom beneath its head. It then quickly took its head out and sneezed, taking a few more steps back.
Animal ignored Crowstorm's words as he ran to the dog, and clawed its heavily bleeding face. He tried to think of things from his experience, as a kitty-pet, with these dogs.. there was one dog like this, a little bit smaller.. But it only chased the cats about, threatening to kill them, but never actually doing anything.
He tried to straighten out his rage and fury, and make them into sense. His mind buzzed as he took deep breaths and tried to calm himself a little. They didn't like being hit on the face, he knew that. When twolegs hit their dogs in the head area, they always cowered away..
No, but they had already tried that. Animal locked eyes with the dog that was snarling viciously, and it put its head down angrily, tail out completely straight. Besides the trees being shaken in the wind and the faint battle cries from ThunderClan, everything was completely silent.
Animal's ear twitched. "There was a twoleg dog like this in my twoleg's den next twoleg den over. It liked chasing things..." Animal recalled, taking slow steps backwards. "But, then again, if you batted at it, it would run like hell..." Animal hoped that the cats could come up with a solution where no cats lives would be taken. Animal hurt all over, and his mouth was clamped shut, resisting the urge to cry out in pain. To be a warrior in FireClan, you never showed your wounds, even if you were on the verge of death. It was a sign of weakness.
