Warriors: Into the Wild

Sparkleheart and the rest of the patrol jump through the forest. Spitfire hisses, and tries to get up, but her broken bones get in the way. Dashpaw bows down.

“I am so sorry. She needed,” Sparkleheart stops her there.

“I know she needed help, but you know better. You should have brought her back to the clan, and then fed her.” She sniffs the injured cat. Sunstar jumps out of the bushes, and sees the cats.

“What is going on here!” she yowls. She sees the bruised up cat, and she sniffs. “What is a Shadeclan warrior doing here?” Spitfire sticks her nose in the air.

“I was injured by my clan, I found a lake, and I slept!” she yells. Sunstar looks deep into the cat’s eyes.

“This is Spitfire, medicine cat of Shadeclan.”

Spitfire spits, “I was! I hate the Shadeclan now. Hurting innocent kits,” her voice trails off, but the Lightningclan cats ignored her. They whisper to each other as Dashpaw helps Spitfire up.

“It’s settled,” says Sparkleheart, “we will let Spitfire into our clan, but only until she heals. We’ll see what happens after that!” They take the cat home, and she sees the Lightning Path that she had to cross to get over. Sunstar is holding her, and she hates it.

“We are back in Lightningclan.” Says Sparkleheart. Spitfire is desperate for some sleep, and she needs to sit down.

Sunstar comes up to Castle Rock, and yells, “All cats old enough to catch their own prey, please come to Castle Rock!” Dashpaw is waiting for her to speak, her head down in sorrow. “This is Spitfire, the med cat of Shadeclan.” The Lightningclan gasps. Pinkiefur grabs her kits.

“What if she hurts our kits!” she yells. Sunstar blinks.

“She won’t. Any way, she will be staying with us until she heals. Dashpaw, you will be taking care of her.” Dashpaw can hear Stormpaw and Soarpaw chuckle, and she hisses at them. “Dashpaw, you will also be my apprentice.”

Setclaw speaks up, “Wait! She will be punished, and rewarded for her actions!” Sunstar nods.

“She has been a great apprentice! She should be rewarded.” Setclaw puffs away. “And for a next reward, she and her friends will be chosen to come to the next Gathering!” she yowls. Applepaw claps her paw, and Flutterpaw says a light yay! They crowd around Dashpaw as if she were a hero.

“Dashpaw!” Applepaw yowls. “That’s amazing!” Flutterpaw laughs.

“Oh I’m so excited!” she yells. “I can’t wait for the full moon!” Applepaw nods. Then Dashpaw yawns. It’s been a long day for her today, and she needs to rest.

“Well I don’t know ‘bout you dudes, but I’m going to bed!” she says, and she climbs into her den.

“’Night Dashpaw!” yells Applepaw over her shoulder, and she starts to play with Flutterpaw. Dashpaw wonders what it’s going to be like when she goes to the Gathering.
