Warriors: Fear and Hope

Dahfang shivered. She wanted to come over to Applefur, her best friend, and sleep for the remaining hours of the night, but she couldn't. She was on her warriors vigil, and she wasn't aloud to sleep.

She could remember the fight of Shadeclan yesterday: She was right above Bloodstar, once the unicorn leader of Shadeclan, and they were fighting to the death. His horn at her stomach, she could've died at any second. She could still see the running of victory. Moreover, that is how she became a warrior.

She looked at the moon and she saw no cat in it. The craters, of course, were still there, but Nightline was missing. She shook her head and folded her wings down. She breathed heavily and she went back to protecting her clan. She felt her tail start to whip impatiently behind her. She started to fall asleep, but heard a cat pad up behind her.

Dashfang almost closed her eyes, but whipped back up. She then saw Cloudystorm come over to her.

The pegasus sat straighter and she looked at the sky.

“Ah, the new warriors. How are you doing, I mean do you like your new titles?” she asked.

The two cats just breathed heavily and nodded. They thought they needed to keep going, but then Dashfang saw the sun coming up. She let out a puff of air to see the others laughing.

Pinkiefur, an earth cat, bounced up to them. “Oh I’m so excited! I really hope that you guys are now warriors and now we get to spend more time together until you get your own apprentices then you get to hang out with them more and . . .” a wing of a younger pegasus cut her off.

“Pinkiefur, please,” said a younger cat named Autumnbreeze. Her kitty mark was wind for her love for flying. “You two will become great mentors. Thanks you.” She said and she walked away.

Dashfang got up and shook off all her morning dew. She then walked to Sunstar.

“Ah, Dashfang, what can I help you with?” she asked Dashfang.

All of a sudden, Setclaw barged in. “Sunstar, how are you? I brought you some fresh mice, and I think you deserve a nice cool drink.” She sat down and gave the mouse and the drink to Sunstar.

She carried it to her lips with her magic, and sipped it a little bit. “Dashfang, were you going to tell me something?” asked the kind alicorn.

Dashfang took a deep breath, but shook her head. “No ma’am. I wasn’t.” she said, and she walked out of the room.

Sunstar quickly stopped her. “Wait, please, I need to ask you and your friend Applefur to go find Breezeclan in a couple of days. Please.” She said kindly.

“Yes ma’am. I will also be at the gathering tonight.” She said walking out of the room with glee. Her leader actually trusted her one hundred percent. Of course, the cat went for a quick fly around to see the nice air. She then saw

Applefur waking to the fresh-kill pile. She flew down and grabbed a mouth full of mice.

They sat down in the middle of the clan and started to eat. “So what did Sunstar tell you? Did she tell you anything?” she asked, but Dashfang shook her head.

“No, no, I didn't say anything, but she did tell me something. In a couple of days, at least the day after the gathering, she wants us to go get Breezeclan from deep in the Everfree Forest.” She said taking another quick bite of a bird.

“Really, awesome, I do hope it’s the day after the Gathering! That would be so cool! Then we could get our apprentices! That would be awesome!” she yells and she took a bite.

Dashfang sighed, and looked into the sky. She saw clouds, and lots of them. Applefur smiled. “Well I’m going to go to the new den of ours! The warriors den!” she yelled and she pounced off.

“Applefur, I’m telling Sunstar about Flutterpaw.” said the pegasus.

Applefur gasped and yowled, “That’s for us only!” she started whipping her tail back and forth in the sky. She then growled, “And what if Sunstar tells Setclaw?” she asked.

“She won’t! She is trusting, but I will tell her. I will tell her before the Gathering.”
