Wiggleworm
Rank: T1 Warrior

("Feral Language")

Now that he'd filled out a bit more and his wounds weren't quite so gruesome, Wiggleworm felt confident enough to seek out Vinecrawler. It was no secret that he and his brother had grown apart since Hank left for the mountains. Oh, who was he kidding - since he'd been apprenticed to Cloudychase, but he would make up for it now! With a cheerful smile etched across his face, the large tom trotted up to Vinecrawler with his tail held high. "Brother! It's been a while!"

Head held high and unwilling to show any signs of weakness, Wiggleworm stepped forward to touch his forehead to Vinecrawler's, a silent apology in his eyes for the time they had spent apart. "Let's get out of here - hang out some! We can do whatever you want today!" He meowed, hoping that the offer would encourage his brother to accept the offer. It had been, after all, his fault they were so distant. First by letting Cloudychase convince him that it was for the best, and second when he refused to see anyone in the height of his illness.

Wiggleworm flicked his tail, gesturing for Vinecrawler to follow him and hinting that it really wasn't a choice. He was going to hang out with his brother if it killed him! Which, hopefully, it wouldn't. The warrior chuckled softly to himself at the though. Now wouldn't that be an odd turn of events? If he survived the disease and wolves just to die in some freak accident? He would be with Softpaw, at least, but that was a poor consolation when it meant leaving Silverdusk and the rest of ThunderClan behind. Especially during such a tumultuous time.

Feral Language
Forest Language

In the peaceful midday sun, Vinecrawler lay at the base of a tree to soak up as much of the warm sun as he could. Sometimes, he lay here just because his dad used to, trying to soak up whatever memories he had of the feral tom who he missed dearly with every passing day. Vinecrawler was making more friends by the day lately who were very interested in the feral tongue, but that didn't keep him from falling back on old memories of when he and his siblings used to roll about outside the nursery kicking up dust with every tuck and roll they did. Friends were always welcome, but the bond of kin was always closer to his heart.

As though the Now had heard his thoughts, Wiggleworm's cheery voice called out to him. His head turned to watch his brother trot towards him looking better than he had in moons. It brough a smile to his maw, dipping his head in a returned greeting, their heads bumping into one another affectionately. He would never have turned down Wiggleworm's offer, but it seemed like there wouldn't have been any room to if the thought had ever crossed his mind. He chuckled in response as he rose to his paws. "It would mean the world to me, brother. Perhaps a hunt? Get a bird in that belly of yours, hm?" He nudged the tom as he padded beside him, his head tilting to listen out for the fluttering of wings and chirping of active prey.

A rustling in the branches above them had the warriors sandy head lean back to look up... Only to be met with a face full of scales and frantic hissing. "Foxdung!" His body moved on its own, but the sudden movement had the snakes fangs digging into his skull. He yelped in pain as he frantically swiped claws over the snake.

Wiggleworm laughed warmly at Vinecrawler's suggestion. He didn't miss the obvious intent to fatten him up, but what did it matter when he'd get to hunt with his brother for the first time in...well...ever? With a careless shrug, he smiled brightly at the other warrior. "Of course, brother! Maybe we can catch up while we're at it? I'm sure there's lot's to discuss." He meowed pointedly. Vinecrawler had been up to a lot during his illness, and though he'd missed out on most of it, there was no missing the clear change in him. They'd not ever been particularly close, but Wiggleworm ached to remedy that, to become a cat Vinecrawler could confide in and trust.

And, hopefully, it would be a two-way relationship. Then, once he'd secured a better bond with his brother, he could seek out Crocusfrost and fix things between them as well. It seemed that his attention lately had been fixed solely on Silverdusk and though he really did enjoy her company, it wasn't fair to the other cats who cared for him. It was odd, really, now that he thought about it. As an apprentice, he never would had expected to grow so close with one of the clanborn cats.

Ears perked for any sign of prey, Wiggleworm separated from Vinecrawler, his pelt twitching with excitement. Then, as the fresh scent of squirrel hit the back of his nose, a caterwaul of pain echoed from Vinecrawler's direction. Blood running cold, Wiggleworm instantly whirled around and raced back towards his brother. As he approached, the issue became clear. Growling, the spotted tom threw himself at the lithe body hanging from Vinecrawler's head. His teeth clamped around the writhing body and sank in deep, past scales and thin bones with ease.

Wiggleworm used Snap on the snake. -7 HP and -7 SP.

Wiggleworm:
30/30 HP
(-7) 73/80 SP

Vinecrawler:

128/140 SP

Snake:

Relief in his eyes as his brother was quick to return, teeth clamping onto the snap with the force of a cat who held the true feral bloodline. Though blood pooled into one of his eyes from the wound, he held both open in defiance, half blinded and truly seeing red. Vinecrawler attempted to swipe at it once more, only to find it missing, already detached from his skull. His ears frantically flicked back and forth in an attempt to hear it's hissing, only to find out far too late that it had already turned to strike again.

Vinecrawler used Snap but missed! Cost 7 SP.

Snake used Serpant Strike, dealing 6 damage and costing 10 SP.

Wiggleworm
Rank: T1 Warrior

("Feral Language")
("Forest Language")

Though Wiggleworm tried to hold on tight to the scaley creature, the snake detached from Vinecrawler and slithered free from his maw and onto the forest floor. Stepping back to avoid its fangs, Wiggleworm snarled, his fur standing on end as he glanced at his brother and the blood that dripped down his head and into his eye. The brown tom shuddered; nose crinkled from the coppery tang of the snake's blood in his mouth. The sharp scent filled the air as Vinecrawler continued to bleed and before Wiggleworm could even attempt to strike again, the snake lunged for his brother, spraying more of his blood across the ground.

Blood hot with anger, Wiggleworm tracked the snake's movement and pounced as it coiled back up, hoping to catch it by surprise. However, its beady eye flickered to him and it quickly darted out of the way and bared its fangs, slicing their sharp points across his shoulder. Blood welled up on the two shallow wounds and Wiggleworm grunted. With a hiss of pain, the spotted warrior backpedaled, getting out of the way before the reptile could continue after him in earnest.

Wiggleworm attempted Belly Rake and failed. -5 HP and -25 SP.

Wiggleworm:
(-5) 25/30 HP

He had had enough the slithering parasite that lashing back and forth from the shadows and plagued both him and his beloved brother, his jaws building up a foam that only frothed further the more the snake evaded their every attempt to strike it down. The blood the serpent had drawn that ran into his eye splattered as his head and neck snapped forward, relishing in its flesh finally being clamped in tight in his jaws. With one sharp movement, he whipped the snake back and forth more times than was needed, each lash of its body creating a sickening snap.

It was long dead by the time Vinecrawler finally let it go, a broken heap at his paws. "Are you alright, brother?" His chest heaved

Vinecrawler used Tail Yank, dealing 9 damage and costing 15 SP.

Snake is KO'd!

Wiggleworm allowed himself to fall still and quiet as Vinecrawler's jaws closed around the snake's body, dealing what was undoubtedly a killing blow. The other warrior thrashed the snake for several moments and Wiggleworm stepped back with a grimace to avoid the spray of serpentine blood. Finally, Vinecrawler seemed satisfied and dropped the snake's massacred body with a dull thump. The spotted tom stared at the corpse for a moment as a disturbed chill ran down his spine before, with a deep breath, he lifted his dark gaze to meet his brother's.

"I'm fine." He breathed eventually. Why the snake decided to attack them was a mystery, but not one he was particularly keen to try to puzzle out. With a look at Vinecrawler's bloodied face, Wiggleworm winced and stepped closer to inspect the injury. "Are you okay though? Thing got you pretty good from the looks of it." Red was not a good look on his sand-coated brother. "We should get you to the medicine cats - forget hunting." The snake might have made a decent meal, but in its condition, he doubted anyone would want it.

The warriors body visibly relaxed at the confirmation that Wiggleworm was fine, a sigh brushing his bloodied whiskers. "It stings, but I have felt much worse than this. Medicine cats... That is a good idea, brother. Hopefully neither of us suffer the snakes venom. Shall we head back?" He rumbled, on eye still closed as the trickle of blood began to slow and darken as it dried. He felt fine other than the bite marks on his head, but he had never been injected with venom before to even know what it would do to ones body. To say he was slightly scared would be truth.
