Nightfall snarled furiously, with his hackles raised and long fur bristling, making him look even larger then he already was. He swiped a paw, with his claws extended, trying to drive his antagonists away, but they weren't backing down!
The Defender faced the large group of rats that had him pressed against a corner, and he laid his ears back, his tail lashing, as he snarled again, giving them one last warning.
To his frustration and dismay, the rats retorted by lunging at him! With a surprised and angry yowl, Nightfall burst through the rats, with many clinging painfully to his sides.
He threw himself around, and leaped to and fro, trying to dislodge the rats before more latched onto him! He sliced his claws in the chest of one rat and felt it go limp, then he turned his head and bit the neck of a rat tearing at his fur, killing it instantly.
Nightfall flung himself in the air and, resisting the intense urge to right himself, slammed his body against the cold hard floor, crushing a few of the rats under his weight. He turned and swiped at some of the other rats, but he didn't have to do much now. They knew they had lost, and the rats that were left alive turned and fled into the shadows.
The tom panted slightly, and shivered a little when he realized how badly that could have ended on his part. He shook it off, noticing that his injuries weren't serious.
Nightfall then turned to look at the water. He folded his ears in concern and flicked his tail as he thought. Picking up the four rats he had killed, he turned and made his way back to camp.
[Exit Nightfall]
