Warriors: Into the Wild

As the cats of Lightningclan popped through the tree-green bushes, a splash was heard in the water. Purpletail, their deputy, sniffed the air and caught the fishy smell of Lakeclan. A split-second after that, Lakeclan came bounding out of the bushes. Their fur glistened wet from the water, and all eyes were hungry for battle.

The lead cat of the Lightningclan patrol, Setclaw, frowned and walked close to the opposing leading cat.  "How dare you hunt in our territory? The Sun Rocks belong to Lightningclan!" he said with a snarl.

The opposing lead, Fleurheart, smiled menacingly at the cats and said, "When we're all done fighting, this piece of land will belong to Lakeclan!" Other cats began to spit and fight.

More joined in as Setclaw began to argue more. "You may swim like seals, but you will not win on our land!" and the two cats bounded into the battle; Fleurheart fought against the best f the Lightningclan cats.

Purpletail glanced with a broken-heart at all the cats trying to limp back into battle, as they were thrown into the spiky trees. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw one of her clanmates, Twistfur, bleeding tremendously at the clawing of a Lakeclan cat. Purpletail bounded over to help by knocking the cat off, and shouted, "Twistfur, run!" before she got hurt again. Purpletail noticed the Lakeclan cats out numbering the Lightningclan cats. "Setclaw, there are too many of them! We have to retreat!" she yelled over the noise.

Setclaw protested: "Lightningclan never give up a fight!"

"I know, but we will have another chance to prove our strength!" she says back. "Retreat, Lightningclan! Retreat!"

Each cat bounded, limped, or ran off as they heard the Lakeclan cats yowl in their victory. Setclaw looked back at the clan, but moved on without protest; or at least she tryied not to.

After the long battle, the medicine cat, Rareleaf, looked at all her injured cats. They were healing but still not well. She sighed, and walked out to where Sunstar sat. Sunstar, noticing her asked, "Will they all be OK?" Rareleaf nodded calmly. "What about Twistfur?"

Rareleaf went and sat next to Sunstar. "She will be fine. She is young, strong, and will heal quickly,"

Silence filled the air until Sunstar broke it. "We can't afford to lose any more warriors, and the kits are few in number, and not yet ready for bettle."

"I know, and we have never lost any land before this," replied Rareleaf. "But later we will win it back."

Sunstar sighed and looked at the night sky to search for Lunarclan up above. "Have you gotten any messages from Lunarclan?" she asked. The medicine cat usually got most of the messages from their ancestors.

The medicine cat shook her said sadly, and looked at the stars. All of a sudden, her eyes widened and she caught reflection, from the eyes of Nightline on the moon. A cat was in the background of red and black, and rainbows flashed in front of her just to disappear in black dust of fear.

"It’s a message from Lunarclan!" Rareleaf exclaimed. "Fear itself will save this clan."

"But all the clans have fear. But, it is something they need to think is never there!" Sunstar protested. From the look the medicine cat was giving her, however all she needed to know was one thing: "If it's from our ancestors to you, then it really must be true. Fear itself will save our clan."
