Warriors: Fear and Hope

Spitfire walked over to the two cats and smiled. She gave the two cats some herbs. “Don’t run into trouble.” She said.

Applefur smiled, but Dashfang started to think. What would happen if they did run into trouble? She shook her head and she saw Sunstar in front of her.

“Dashfang and Applefur, have a nice trip, and please, don’t run into trouble.” She said and she slowly pounced away.

Dashfang smiled to Applefur, and they were off. Dashfang flew into the air, and into the everfree forest.

Applefur gingerly walked on the cold ground of the Everfree. The trees closed in on them as they flew and walked slowly. Dashpaw heard something around them. She shrugged after a while of looking. They did take some rests, but they kept moving. Dashfang heard stories of the cats in this forest, almost ripped to shreds by dogs. She shivered at the thought. Soon the night sky came over the clouds and the bright day.

Applefur stopped and looked at Dashfang. “Man, my paws are killing me. I am going to take a nap. You can fly around if you want, but do not leave!” she yelled to the Pegasus.

Dashfang thought of her old life of a kitty-pet. She flew into the air and saw the clouds passing her. She saw the moon getting larger and larger. She then stopped flapping her wings and folded them. She fell to the ground quickly as she started to flap her wings again. She fell faster and faster to the ground and she soon she saw wind flying around her. She was about to break the sound barrier. She then stopped when she saw some one in front of her. Another Pegasus, “H-hello?” she asked calmly.

She looked and saw another flash of a cat in front of her. “Dashie?” it asked.

Dashfang then flew back up as fast as she could, broke the sound barrier and created a sonic rainboom. She smiled and she flew back down. She saw Applefur struck with fear. “Wha-what was that! Did you just do the sonic rainboom!” she yelled with fear.

Dashfang smiled and she folded her wings. “I guess I did.” She said with a smirk on her face.

Applefur sighed and went back to sleep. Dashfang looked into the rainbow-covered sky, wondering how many

people and cats she woke up. She finally fell asleep, but they started to move again, when the sun came up. Dashfang came over to a large tree blocking the path. Dashfang flew over it, but Applefur couldn’t get over.

“Dashfang I’m gonna go around. Wait there while I do.” She walked around the tree.

Dashfang waited until she saw a large castle in the middle of the forest. Her eyes widened. She flew to the castle. It seemed like a pony is too big to get into the castle, but a cat was just the right size. What is this? she thought.

Applefur finally got over the log and yelled for her friend. “Dashfang, Dashfang, where are ya’?” she screamed.

Dashfang could not hear her. She saw fur on the ground. She sniffed it, but she could tell it was not fresh. She

heard whispering that sounded like it has been echoing in the caves for years. “She isn’t evil, she isn’t evil.” It said it repeatedly.

“H-hello, I just want to help Breezeclan, is anyone even there?” she asked. She heard it again, and she heard a

twig snap. She screamed and flew to the ceiling.

“Ha he, scardy-cat.” said Applefur behind her.

Dashfang rubbed her head and flew back down. “Well, I wasn’t scared, I was just tried to get away from the whispering.” She said.

Applefur cocked her head, and pricked her ears. “What. . .” the wing of Dashfang cut her sentence short.

“Fear will save our clan.” It whispered. “She is not evil.”

Applefur pricked her ears again. “Wh-who is that?” she asked as she stepped back slowly.

“I don’t know, but I found this blue fur on the ground.” She said showing Applefur the fur.

Applefur gasped. “That’s Nightlines fur! I know because Sunstar keeps some in her den!” she yowled and they heard the whispering again.

“Nightline is not evil, she is not evil either.” It said.

Applefur shivered and she looked back at Dashfang. “We should really just keep moving.” she said.

Dashfang nodded and they ran out of the castle. They ran as fast as they could and then Dashfang felt something cold on her nose. Is that snow? she asked herself. She then saw more coming down. “It’s snowing! Bare-leaf isn’t even here yet!” she yelled to Applefur.

Applefur shook off all the snow and soon it started to rain. The lightning flashed and the thunder banged. Dashfang would not give up. They ran and flew through all of it. They then came to a desert like area. Applefur took Dashfang’s tail when she was about to fly over. “We are doin’ this together. No flying over this.” she said and they both walked through the scratchy area. The grass was almost gone when they got to the sand. They heard some twigs snapping thinking it was just the wind.

“C-can I fly now?” asked Dashfang.

“Why? Are you scared?” asked Applefur with a smirk.

Dashfang rubbed the back of her head. “No, my paws just hurt.” She said and she flew into the air.

Applefur rolled her eyes and then they heard another twig snap. They saw some things zoom in front of them. Then there was a blue figure in front of them. “H-hello?” asked Applefur.

Then, suddenly, Breezeclan cats pounced out of the bushes and took their claws out. They growled and hissed. The warriors and apprentices of Breezeclan were ready to attack the cats.

Dashfang and Applefur stood silently as the cats were about to pounce on them. They closed their eyes, and were ready for the warriors and apprentices. They were ready to battle.

“Stop!”
