Warriors: Into the Wild

As Applepaw wakes up she shakes Dashpaw quickly. She jumps up excitedly.

“What are we doing today!” she yells. Applepaw rolls her eyes.

“Training! Now c’mon, Sparkleheart is waiting!” She bounds off, and Dashpaw follows swiftly. She meets up with them, and sees Sparkleheart. Sparkleheart pounces over to them, less bugged with Dashpaw than this morning.

“You’ve made it!” she yells. She rubs against them, and purrs with excitement. Then Setclaw comes with Flutterpaw. When the kit sits down, she starts to lick her paw.

“Now let’s get to training.” She says. She looks down at Flutterpaw with an evil eye, and yells, “OK show me a hunting crouch!” All the cats get down. Flutterpaw falls over, Applepaw looks like a lop-sided badger, but.

“Dashpaw!” yells Sparkleheart. “That’s beautiful!” The kit stands perfectly. Sparkleheart tries to push her over, but she won’t budge! She stops crouching, and she sits on her haunches. She licks her paw.

“Thanks, I was practicing when I was a kitty-pet.” She rubs her head with her paw. As she slowly steps up, she sees the beautiful sky. She then hears Sparkleheart call to her. She pounces to her, and stops when they get to four tall trees.

“These are Fourtrees! The place where the cats all meet on a full moon.” The Fourtrees go to what seems like the sky. They show them the Sunshine rocks, Spiderrocks, and many other things. Then they must go home to the clan.

“That was a nice day.” Says Applepaw as they walk home. They see all the cats licking each other.

“Are we missing sharing tongues?” asks Applepaw.

“What?” asks Dashpaw? Sparkleheart answers before Applepaw can.

“Sharing tongues is when all cats gather, and they lick all the others.” Dashpaw then jumps on Applepaw, and starts to lick her. Setclaw and Sparkleheart start to lick each other. Then Sunstar goes up to Castle Rock, and yowls.

“All cats old enough to catch their own prey, please come to Castle Rock!” the cats come over to her, knowing what she’s going to say. “Today is the gathering at Fourtrees! The two apprentices that are coming are,” Applepaw punches Dashpaw.

“We are so,”

“Soarpaw and Lightningpaw!” Applepaw and Dashpaw frown at her words, and they both come up to them. They dust their faces with their tails, and laugh.

“Yeah we’ll tell you what it’s like.” Applepaw clenches her paw, and curses at the kits.

“Applepaw calm down.” says Dashpaw. “We might be chosen next time!” Soarpaw and lightingpaw walked over to Castle Rock, and they sit next to Sunstar.

“OK every kitty we will meet back later.” She slowly walks down the rock, and then pounces with all the warriors, and Soarpaw and Lightningpaw. Dashpaw and Applepaw walk into their den, and lie down.

“Do you really think you will be chosen?” she asks.

“I really do think so. I mean maybe.” says Dashpaw. She jumps out of the den into the cool air, and smells some food. I’m starving she thinks. She dips into a dead squirrel. When she’s finished she gets to a red-bellied woodpecker.

“Dashpaw!” yells Snowblind.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in the gathering?” she asks. Snowblind shakes her head.

“No we’re retired. We are staying behind.” She says. Dashpaw looks behind Snowblind, and sees the rest of the elders.

“Oh.” She says. “So what are you doing?”

“Oh just getting something to eat.” She eats a sparrow, and she then drinks from a little puddle next to the fresh-kill pile.

“How are the sparrows.” She says, breaking the awkward silence.

“They are delicious.” They then depart, and they all sleep.

“Good night Applepaw.” She then hears the snoring of her friend, and she sleeps with her. When they wake up, they see Soarpaw and Lightningpaw in the den. Lightningpaw and Dashpaw are touching nose, and they quickly jump away screaming.

“What are you doing!” she yells. Lightningpaw still wiping his nose with disgust then stops.

“I’m sleeping!” he yells. Dashpaw rolls her eyes.

“Good.” She walks out the den, and she feels the crisp air breeze through her body.

“I just personally think that it would be better if Dashpaw wasn’t an apprentice!” yells one of the cats named Braefur. He sees Dashpaw looking at him, “I meant App- I mean Flutterpaw!” Dashpaw flies into the air, for a nice breeze of wind.
