Warriors: Into the Wild

As Dashie slowly jumped over the fence, she saws Sparkleheart sitting between two trees. She was licking her paw calmly waiting for Dashie. Sparkleheart saw her, and stood to her paws.

“So Dashie you came?”

Dashie nodded. Then a white cat with a blue tail jumped out. She was an earth cat. She licked her paw.

“Dashie this is Cloudystorm. She is an elder in the Lightningclan.”

She nodded nicely.

“You look strong, for a female kitty-pet.” She said.

Dashie smiled. Then the two warriors leapt off.

“You have to keep up if you want to join.” She said. She jumped as fast as she could. Then she realized she had wings. She flapped them quickly, and she flew. She flew past the two other cats. She stopped, and looked back. She saw they are still going the exact same speed. She flew over a river, and she decided to stop.

“Sparkleheart? Cloudysky?” she asked. Then Sparkleheart jumped out. She had not seen Cloudy though.

“Where is she?”

Sparkleheart stopped. “Oh she got held up in the river. She’ll be fine.”

Dashie’s eyes narrowed. “And you didn’t help her?” she yowled.

Sparkleheart licked her paw. “Oh she’s fine!” They heard rustling in the leaves. Sparkleheart growled.

“Stay back, this could be an ambush.” Cloudy jumped out.

“Calm down, young Sparkleheart.”

She nodded. Dashie could smell cats, but they smelled different. She sniffed again.

“Do you smell cats?” Sparkleheart mewed.

Dashie sniffed one more time. She smelled six smaller cats. She smelled older cats, but she also smelled Sunstar. She nodded.

“Soon you will learn all of them by name.”

Dashie smiled. They jumped through a small hole in a wall that protected the clan. She smelled the calm cats sitting, or sleeping. She could also smell a familiar cat, Applepaw.

“Hey Dashie!” She mewed. Dashie looked at her, and her wings went down. Applepaw smiled.

“Hey Applepaw.” she mewed.

Meanwhile, Sunstar and Sparkleheart were talking.

“So it’s agreed?” Sunstar asked. “All cats old enough to catch their own prey please come to Castle Rock!” she yowled.

The cats came to the tall rock. Dashpaw could hear them mew with confusion. “What’s going on; why are we here; who’s the new kit?” they all asked Dashie’s collar tugged in the breeze. She scratched her fur, and the bell jingled.

One cat stands up. “That’s just an old kitty-pet. Once a kitty-pet, always a kitty-pet.”

Dashie stared at her, heart broken.

“That’s Daringtail. She can smell your fear.” said Setclaw. “Show her something that should be feared.”

Sunstar smiled at the word fear.

Dashie flew down from the rock, and saw Daringtail smiling at her.

“A fighting kitty-pet, eh?” she asked “Bring it on!” they circled around each other. Daringtail flew onto Dashie. She bit her on the neck, took her by the tail, and locked Dashie’s paws down.

That long tail! It’s going to kill me if I don’t hard enough! Dashpaw flew into the air, and began to strike, but noticed that Daringtail was a pegasus too! She ran up to the cat, and jumped on top if her.

Daring tail flung the cat over.

A white cat with a purple rail walks over. “That’s enough!” She yelled. “This should have ended before it started! Stop now Daringtail.” She stared into her deep rose eyes.

“Get out of the way Rareleaf! You’re just a medicine cat!” yelled out Daringtail. She then whacked her in the face and she went flying. She was on the ground, and the other cats surrounded her. Daringtail grabbed Dashie by the collar, and started to tug at it. She tugged and tugged, until finally it snapped off.

Dashie could feel the bristle on her neck. She couldn’t even hear the bell.

Rareleaf awoke, and brought Daringtail to the medicine cat den.

Applepaw ran up to her. “Hey! That was amazing!” she yelled.

“Yes it was.” Said Sunstar. She walked over to them. “Dashie please come.” She brought her to Castle Rock, and she said, “Every cat old enough to catch his or her own prey please come to Castle Rock!” The cats came. “Today young Dashie has become an apprentice!” She mews. The cats screamed with excitement.

“Since you are so quick and agile, your name is going to be Dashpaw.” She whispers. “Every kitty! Dashpaw!” The crown cheered again. Then they heard the bushes behind them bristle. A little kit with a with a yellow coat, green eyes, and a pink tail jumped out. She was breathing hard.

“Flutterpaw? What are you doing here?” asked Applepaw.

Flutterpaw had blood dripping down her shoulder. “Purpletail,” she stammers, “P-Purpletail. Purpletail’s dead!” Flutterpaw shouted out. The blood dripped to the ground. “We saw Lakeclan in our territory, and we tried to fight them. We had to retreat , because there were too many of them. Purpletail stayed back, and she was killed.” She then fell to the ground, and Rareleaf brought her to the medicine cat den. Then Setclaw, an orange cat, brought a dead body of Purpletail in.
