Destinysky/Thistlefur
Neither cat knew where else to go much less what had just happened. A few days after the Gathering and declaring they would be a new clan Destinysky was in horror that there were signs of a badger set within the area, which had tried to get into the camp. Both her and Thistlefur had immediately set out patrols to figure out where they were coming from and once found they had tried to attack the lumbering, striped creatures. Not that it did any good as there was more than they had expected and forced the Ravine Clan cats back to the ravine.
Those few days had turned into a nightmare as Destinysky had ordered her clanmates to keep the line, keeping the badgers away from the camp but not for long. They had weakened from lack of fresh-kill, proper rest and desperation with the badgers keeping close to their main in and out of camp, and they were becoming anxious, milling around with being unable to do much. And it pained her to realize that Destinysky and Thistlefur had led these cats to a spot they didn't realize was otherwise occupied by creatures who out powered them while her clan was too small a force to handle so many. Maybe two or three they could handle but there was at least five, six at most and it was odds that were not in their favor and coupled with hunger they wouldn't last.
With a heavy heart she made up a plan with her warriors, apprentices, and brother with the two older cats deciding to become a distraction while the rest escaped in the cover of the night. They had enacted their plan and the rest had managed to escape another way, but Thistlefur and Destinysky didn't escape without wounds, especially Destinysky herself who was missing a patch of fur along her side now, four long scratches left in it's wake on top of some other bites and scratches, one even leaving her heavily limping on her left front paw. And Thistlefur likewise had a swollen cut above his eye, a scratch across his shoulder and a few bite marks on his flanks.
Between the two he had avoided the worse and had slipped into Sunclan and Lightclan territory to find the right herbs to give to his sister whose side wounds were infected and not properly cleaned. But in their state before they hadn't worried about washing their wounds until now and the large bi-colored tom was worried as Destinysky lay on her opposite side uninjured with labored breathing. Though he could suspect she was also suffering from a deep sorrow for the loss, knowing their clanmates had scatted to the wind and Ravine Clan was no more. "Destinysky we got to move, we can't stay here." Thistlefur mewed, his voice full of tiredness and worry, having gotten little sleep since the night before. But he kept glancing at the moon, watching for clouds but none that were a tall tale sign Starclan was displeased of them being there.
But he didn't get the answer he was hoping for, "What's the point? Everywhere we go nothing but trouble follows Thistlefur. I was wrong to have thought this would work and maybe Starclan was punishing us for my boldness." Destinysky said sorrowfully, both in shock, pain, and misery for the loss and feeling like the badger claws had not done the worst damage so much as the claws of sorrow and reality had cut a deep wound in her soul and heart, her eyes glazed over at realizing her potential mistake. So caught up in it she didn't hear a noise nearby like Thistlefur, the tom snapping out of his tired state and snarling as he moved to stand over his sister, fur bristling and eyes narrowed to the ones approaching from Lightclan's territory.

Notes:Finally got around to posting this and I decided to edit the title because I had "duh" moment of where these two could potentially go
