Warriors: Into the Wild

When Dashpaw finally got some sleep, Applepaw woke her two hours later.

“I’m going to train. I hope that you have fun with Spitfire.” She said sarcastically. She then bounded off to Sparkleheart to train. Dashpaw frowned, and pawed over to the annoying cat.

“Hey Spitfire.” She said, and she picked up the pinecone. She started to brush her tattered tail. Spitfire sighed, and lied her head down. “I brought some more poppy seeds for you.” She popped one in her mouth.

“So Dashpaw, how are you?” she asked.

Dashpaw nods.

“You’re a kitty-pet?”

“I was a kitty-pet, I was caught in Lightningclan territory, and I became an apprentice.” Spitfire rolled her eyes. She lied back down, and licked some more poppy seeds up. Dashpaw took some of the leaves, and pushed them down on Spitfires wounds.

“Not too hard!” she yowled. Dashpaw apologized, and pushed them on lighter. “So your parents were kitty-pets?”

“Yes my parents were kitty-pets.” She felt a weird pang of sadness in her heart when she thought of her parents who were probably gone forever.

“Your brothers and sisters, were they kitty-pets?”

Dashpaw nodded. “Yes, every one in my family were all kitty-pets.” She said. She kept brushing her tail, and she pushed down on her leaves.

Spitfire’s poppy seeds were still on the ground, and she licked some more up. “If you can tell, I’m not much of a talker.” She said.

Dashpaw nodded. They just sat, and Dashpaw combed her tail. They saw three kits playing up above, and one fell in front of Spitfire. Pinkiefur and Twistfur gasped.

“Get away from me!” yelled Spitfire. The kit ran from the mad cat, and back to her friends. “Sorry, but bad things happen to kits when I’m around.”

Dashpaw nods when they heard a yowl.

“All cats old enough to catch their own prey please come to Castle Rock!” yelled Sunstar. The cats gathered, and sat. They all looked up at their leader’s rock. “Now, I must go to the Lunar Stone to see who shall be the next leader in our clan.”

Rareleaf looked at Dashpaw faithfully, and remembered that she cannot have kits. No medicine cat can.

“The cats that will come with me are Setclaw, Dashpaw, Applepaw, and Flutterpaw.” She said.

Applepaw and Flutterpaw bounded next to Dashpaw. “We’re going with Sunstar!” mewed Flutterpaw happily, “What an honor!”

Applepaw takes off her hat with honor. “You’re right Flutterpaw. I should thank Lunarclan that I ran into you instead of a Shadeclan or Lakeclan!”

Dashpaw smiled, and Setclaw comes over to them.

“I think all of you know how much of an honor this is, but it is also very dangerous.” She said.

The three cats cock their heads.

“We could run into Lakeclan or Shadeclan.” She looked up at the sun, and she smiled. “Now run along. Dashpaw you have some work to do.”

Sunstar quickly stops Dashpaw before she bounded to Spitfire. “We will leave at moon high. Tell your friends, please.” She then leaped away, and Dashpaw went over to Spitfire. She went on brushing her tail, waiting for that night.
