Windchasers
"Faster, Fernpaw, faster!"
Their paws smashed into the cold, hard ground, and, with the blink of an eye, lifted off again. Their pelts were the same color, and together, they looked like storm clouds running through the forest.
"Ashpaw! It's behind me!"
The cat called Ashpaw grabbed his sister by the scruff of her neck and hurled her forwards.
These two cats had to be fast, and they had to stay ahead of the pack- literally. A pack of dogs was looming over them like a hurricane. A hurricane with claws and jaws large enough to crush their heads in one single bite.
Why? thought Ashpaw. Why us? Why do we have to be the ones?
Oh, please, StarClan, our gentle Fernpaw was thinking. Please, let Ashpaw and me get to safety.
Their muscles ached, where on Earth were Cloudtail and the others?
A loud bark echoed behind them, ruffling Ashpaw's fur. The tom looked behind him for just a minute…
…And what he saw horrified him.
It was the leader of the dogs, jaws open, ready to strike.
Ashpaw gasped and pushed Fernpaw on with his muzzle. "Fernpaw, run!!"
She panted, and tears began to leak from her eyes. "I-I can't! I can't do it, Ashpaw! I can't!"
"Shut up and run!!" Ashpaw commanded.
Fernpaw gasped. He sounds just like Bluestar did…
Ashpaw grabbed Fernpaw's shoulder blade in his jaws and threw her up onto his back. With the added weight, it was much harder to run.
A big white form hovered in a tree a few foxlengths in front of them. It was Cloudtail!
"Both of you, climb up this tree!" he was calling.
Ashpaw looked back at the lead dog again. Its brown fur stood on end, and its big pink tongue lolled about on its cheek.
You don't frighten me…ANYMORE!!
A/N: Ha-ha, cliffhanger! Anyways, this was written for the Warriors Wish forum's Secrets of the Fans, since the official SotC sucked. Peace out!
