Warriors: Fear and Hope

Dashfang ran him home, and she gave him to Spitfire. She looked into her eyes, and mewed sadly, “I’m afraid that she will never become a warrior.” She stared into Dashfang’s eyes as she said it.

She thought that the monster that hit Browniepaw was supposed to hit Sunstar. She walked into her den, and she saw her in pain. She coughed and looked at Dashfang. She smiled, but then fell asleep. Dashfang licked her head, and she left.

Suddenly, Redpaw, who was off with Setclaw on patrol, jumped through the bushes, and he puffed out air. Dashfang stared at him, and asked, “What’s happened?” She looked into Redpaw’s eyes, and he puffed out, “We saw bones from Shadeclan territory!” he yowled.

Dashfang was very surprised by this. Everything that they did for them they turn their backs and hunt in their territory? She looked at Redpaw and mewed, “Get some rest.” She then jumped up onto Castle rock, and yowled, “All cat’s old, oh there’s no time for that! All cats come to castle rock!” stared down at the cats

“What are you doing up there?” yowled Cloudystorm.

“Redpaw has brought back bones that were from Shadeclan, and I needed to tell you!” she yowled down, and she looked at Spitfire, who was sniffing the bones. “Cloudystorm, Daringtail, Fleetingwind, and Bluepelt will be going on patrol. The rest of us will be waiting here!” She yowled, and they ran off.

She then saw Morningdew pop out of the kits den. “Skykit is missing!” she yowled and all the cats gasped. “And so are my other two kits!”

“We will go look for her!” Dashfang yowled. She took Pinkiefur and Spitfire with her. They sniffed, and sniffed, until Spitfire fund them.

“Two are here!” she yowled. A pink kit with the little two-leg crown, and a silver kit, with a cute braid, were shivering in the cold snow.

“Skykit went to hunt in the snow.” the pink one mewed sadly.

They chased after where she had pointed, and they saw Skykit playing in the snow, trying to catch a mouse. She laughed until she saw Dashfang, staring coldly down at her.

“You aren’t supposed to be hunting!” she growled at the young kit. Skykit saw Spitfire behind her.

They walked home, and they saw Spitfire wince at the bones. “Those aren't Shadeclan bones, those are from Bloodstar, he tricked us!” she yowled.

Dashfang was shocked. She looked around, only seeing queens and apprentices. She frowned. “Redpaw!” she yowled and Redpaw ran over to her.

“Yes, Dashfang?” he asked. He looked into her eyes, and she told him to go tell Setclaw about the bones. She hoped that they would be back before the cats attack. Sunstar walked out of her den and went straight to Dashfang and Spitfire.

“I lost another life.” She mewed, and Spitfire and Dashfang realized that she only had one life left. She stared into Spitfire’s eyes.

“You should get some rest then,” she mewed. Suddenly something jumped out of the bushes. Spitfire shoved Sunstar away, and Dashfang was only left only with two apprentices and two queens. Three cats bounded out. Bloodstar was among them. He smiled, and laughed menacingly.

“Remember me Dashfang?” he asked laughing like a maniac. He stared at the two apprentices, three queens, and one medicine cat. He laughed again. He jumped onto Dashfang, beginning to scratch her. She scratched him back, and she flew into the air. Pinkiefur then jumped on him, beginning a huge fight. A huge dark blue Pegasus tomcat pounced on her.

She fought him, and she tried to push him off, but the tom was too big. Suddenly a cat jumped on the tom, and she scratched him until he retreated. Bloodstar jumped onto Dashfang, and he smiled. Dashfang grabbed him by this neck, and threw him to the ground. Spitfire growled, and ran over to him.

The other cat, named Thunderface, jumped onto the cat that saved Dashfang. Dashfang realized that that cat was Applefur. She stared at her, and she ran over, slashing him off. He retreated, and they both left their ‘leader’. Spitfire licked Bloodstar’s head, and went to Sunstar with him on her back. Dashfang wondered why she would do this.

Sunstar limped out of her den, and looked at her clan. She then limped back in. Applefur looked at Dashfang. “I’m still mad at you!” She yowled, and she looked much better than yesterday. Her cold was gone. Redpaw walked in with Cloudystorm, and Setclaw. Sunstar noticed how well Soarpaw and Lightningpaw had been fighting.

“All cats old enough to catch their own prey please come to castle rock!” she yowled down, and all the cats circled round. She looked at Soarpaw and Lightningpaw and gestured them up. “Today, because of their great warrior like fight, Soarpaw and Lightningpaw will earn their warrior names!” she mewed loudly.

The cats cheered, and they hushed after a long cheer.

“Soarpaw will be known as Soarwing, because of his great flying ability!” she mewed. “And Lightningpaw will be known as Lightningstorm, for his love of fighting, and his great fighting ability!”

The cats cheered once more, and she nodded.
