" "We were just-" Crowpaw doesn't let him finish and attacks. "

----

"Go on!" demanded Crowpaw impatiently. Patchpaw looked away unhappily. "We were just-" before he could finish, Crowpaw attacked. After the initial shock of it, Patchpaw was soon just as engaged as Crowpaw. The two traded insults as they fought, though being the friends they were, were somehow not really trying to hurt one another. Dovepaw watched them, eyes wide in fear. What were they doing? They could get hurt!

She flew forward, planning to jump between them, only to have her plans -- and theirs -- ruined by a storm-grey cat come into the clearing. All three apprentices froze at the sight of the intimidating cat. The cat looked rather strong, and incredibly fierce; a lumpy stub tail slowly moved back and forth as the cat surveyed the three; golden amber eyes narrowed as they looked on. 

Crowpaw was frightened by the sight of the cat. He had never seen this cat before, and though the cat held itself with a distinguishable air of pride, it didn't look like any Clan cat; no shining, healthy fur, no sharp white teeth, no relaxed posture or easygoing appearance. This cat looked ruthless and ready to fight. One glance at Dovepaw and Patchpaw confirmed for Crowpaw that they too were scared out of their wits. 

Then, the grey cat spoke.

What did the cat say?

A) "Stop fighting, come with me."

B) "I can teach you three how to really fight."

C) nothing; the cat leaps at one of the apprentices
