Warriors: Rising Storm

She gasped when she did not feel another branch under her paws, and she looked down. Her eyes widened when she saw the ground so far away. She closed her eyes, and she pulled her up. She forced her wings to spread a little bit, and she pushed herself up with a couple of flaps. She wished she could blink out the pain, but she couldn’t. She looked down across Twoleg place, and she saw Cloud’s house close to her.

She ran down the tree, slowly, and she walked to her house. Her eyes brightened when she saw her sister on the fence, smiling at her. Cloud jumped down to her sister, and she licked Dashfang’s ear. “Hello,” she meowed, and Dashfang nodded.

“Hello, sister,” she meowed. “How are you?” Cloud sighed, but smiled.

“I’m fine,” she meowed. “The kittens have left the house, and I just got my wings clipped.”

Dashfang sighed, and licked her sister’s cheek. “It’s okay,” she meowed, and Cloud smiled. “Skypaw is doing fine in her training.” She looked up from her paws, and smiled.

Cloud smiled back, and she heard her twolegs calling her. She nodded at Dashfang and jumped down. Dashfang saw her sister crawl into the door, and rub her body against the twoleg’s leg.

Dashfang sighed, and she flew home. She saw Lightningstorm, and she padded up to him slowly. “Lightningstorm,” she meowed. “I think you should know that I saw Skypaw walk into a twoleg nest to eat food.” She looked deep into his eyes, but couldn’t read his thoughts.

“I think that Skypaw should follow her own path. Dashfang, if she would like to be a kitty-pet, then let her be a kitty-pet. There would be no other better way for her to choose her destiny,” she meowed, and Dashfang looked at her paws.

Then she saw Skypaw walk through the tunnel, and the smell of kitty-pet stung her nose. She ran over to her apprentice and snarled. “Skypaw, I saw what you did at Twoleg Place,” she growled, and Skypaw just shrugged. “Did you hear me?”

Skypaw flew over her mentor and laughed. She then started walking away again.

Dashfang was mad. “Skypaw!” she yowled padding up to her apprentice.

Skypaw didn’t stop until she reached the apprentice’s den. Dashfang shook her head, and heard mewling behind her. Soarwing ran out of the den, and he ran to Dashfang. “Cloudystorm has had her kits!” he yowled, and Dashfang smiled.

She saw Lightningstorm walk in with her when they reached the nursery. When she reached the moss bedding, Cloudystorm smiled at her. She grabbed each kit, and set them down in front of Dashfang. “This is Maudkit,” she meowed, holding a gray kit with a purple mane. “This is Inkkit.” The newborn kitten was gray with a dark gray mane. “And this is Piekit.” She lifted a purple kit with a very light gray mane.

Dashfang licked the kits manes. She looked at Cloudystorm and smiled.

The next morning, Dashfang was appointing the patrols. She saw Soarwing and Diamondpaw sitting together, and they spoke kind words. This wasn’t the Soarwing she knew from when they were apprentices. They might as well be mates, and then they would be happy forever. Dashfang smiled at the two lovers, but then she realized that Boltstripe was sitting at the top of the hill.

Dashfang thought that she chose the wrong mentor, but then remembered seeing Silverpaw and Diamondpaw play fighting. She smiled, and nodded at the two apprentices.

Dashfang started to think about Applefur and Copperpelt. She smiled when she thought about going to the LakeClan border. She ran over to it, and she finally reached Sun Rocks. She doesn’t feel the cool, moist feeling under her pads. She sniffs the ground, and smells ShadeClan. She growls, and she runs to where she could smell it. She walked under a large bramble bush, and she saw two little scraps of fur sitting, heaving their chests up and down. Dashfang saw the yellow coat of Shuttercloud and the blue of Prismfoot.

“What are you doing here!” she growled, and Shuttercloud jumped.

“B-Browniefur is taking care of us!” he meowed, and Prismfoot stepped behind him.

Dashfang then smelled her former apprentice behind her. “Is this true?” she asked.

Browniefur sighed and nodded. “I want to take care of them,” she meowed.

Dashfang sighed and nodded. She went back to the camp, and she looked around. She didn’t see Skypaw anywhere, so she figured she was eating kitty-pet slop. She ran to Lightningstorm, and she saw him talking with Cloudystorm and her new kits. “Lightningstorm,” she meowed. “I need you to come with me to look for Skypaw.”

Lightningstorm sighed, and looked deep into Dashfang’s eyes. “Oh Dashfang,” he meowed, and he put his paw on hers. “You know that if Skypaw wants to be a kitty-pet she can be.”

Dashfang shook her head. “I want her to be a warrior,” she meowed. “She will be a warrior.”

Lightningstorm nodded, and they ran towards Twoleg place. She hears mewling from Skypaw. She turned and saw the Lightningpath in front of her. She saw a monster with a twoleg coming into it. The twoleg was lifting something, and it put it in the back of the car. Dashfang saw her let something out of a little den, and it mewled. Was that a kit? No, she saw the blue paws of her apprentice. Her pink eyes glowed in the darkness. She saw Skypaw sitting in the monster, and she mewled for her life. The monster growled and ran off.
