So this is the first chapter of the fanfiction we're writing called Shadows, and it's also the first book, that i'm writing, that I actually plane on finishing. I made two more books, called Sun and Moon, but I quit writing them because I didn't enjoy writing it. So far i'm enjoying this series, but then again, I haven't really started the book yet so who knows what will happen? Anyways let's get onto the story, shall we?

Prologue
A she-cat, with a pelt like silver, padded through the undergrowth; tasting the air for the scent of prey, as she was on a hunting assignment given to her by her mentor. Her assignment was to catch a few mice before sunhigh.
This wasn't her warriors assessment; after all, she just became an apprentice yesterday. No, this was just to see how much she knows about stalking and catching prey, although she has no clue about what she was doing.
The she-cat's tail flicked unconsciously when she caught the earthly scent of, what she could only guess, a mouse.
She paused for a few heartbeats, trying to remember what her mentor said about catching mice before he sent her down this way. I think you have to step lightly because they can feel your pawsteps on the ground right? She pondered that thought for only a few more heartbeats before she decided to go with it.
Dropping into a crouch she approached the area the scent was coming from, the wind running past her, the opposite direction of the mouse. Not even two heartbeats later she saw it, it was indeed a mouse, and it was nibbling on a seed that it, most likely, found lying on the ground.
She stalked closer to it, her tail waving behind her, and didn't realize that her tail had just brushed against some fallen leaves. She froze when it stopped nibbling on it's clearly hard-scavenged seed and looked in her direction. Please, please tell me that It didn't see me. She readied herself to jump after it, but by time she went to pounce it was already fleeing, fleeing for it's life.
Fox dung, she swore as she got out of the crouched position, I should have been able to catch it! Why did it flee?
"Silverpaw, are you wondering why it ran away?" She jumped and turned around to where she heard the sound of the voice and watched as her mentor, Redclaw, padded out from under the undergrowth. "It fled because of your tail."
"Because of my tail?" she asked, head tilted. "I did what I was suppose to right?" Redclaw sat down on the leaf covered forest floor and yawned, preparing to deliver a long lecture.
"Well when you were stalking it, the mouse, your tail brushed against fallen leaves; therefore, alerting it of your presence." He tilted his head and smiled. "Do you know what you should have done instead of waving your tail like you did?"
Silverpaw sat down next to her mentor and thought about what he asked her. After awhile, she abruptly remembered some apprentices talking about keeping their tail straight and level with the ground when she was a kit, she couldn't remember what for, but she decided to try it, just in case it was correct. "Instead of waving my tail like I did," She tried, "should I keep it straight and level with the ground?"
"Correct," Her mentor purred, shaking his pelt as he stood up, to get rid of all of the crunched leaves and dirt that had up and embedded itself into it when he laid down. "Now that you know what you should have done, try to catch another mou-"
Silverpaw jumped to her paws, "Really? Thanks!" She exclaimed, already tasting the air for the scent of mouse getting ready to charge off; however, before she could do so, Redclaw raised a dark-red paw to stop her.
"Now hold on there, little one, let me finish," she stopped tasting the air and faced him again, crestfallen. "as I was saying, try to go and catch another mouse. You have the rest of the afternoon to catch one, so take your time. You may depart from me now."
"Ok, thanks Redclaw!" Silverpaw happily mewed. She padded a few fox lengths away before she decided to taste the air again. Hmm I don't really scent anything… I wonder how scents travel. Silverpaw decided to go to the abandoned twoleg nest; which, from where she was at, was on the other side of ThunderClan territory.
She ran off towards the direction where she thought the nest was, and after a few heartbeats of running she decided to take a break and see if there was any prey around. She skidded to a halt and tasted the air. Hmm, I scent squirrel- or, at least, I thinks that's squirrel- mice, and something metallic, kinda reminds me of what mouse blood smells like.
Silverpaw decided to investigate where the scent was coming from and see what it was. After a few heartbeats she arrived to where the scent was the strongest. Whatever the scent is must be on the other side of these bushes, she thought.
She stalked through the grass, careful not to disturb whatever it was, and was startled when she found a pair of amber-eyes glowing in the dark back at her, the eyes blinked and vanished, and she presumed whatever it was had gone into hiding, like it wouldn't dare attack her, of all things.
She continued towards the scent and started breaking into a run, the scent was definitely not a mouse, her heart quickened as she remembered what the scent of cat blood smelled like, and from the scent it smelled like Thunderclan.
She shook her head, I must be delusional, the clans are at peace, there's no way Thunderclan would be attacked right… right?
As she came to the place, she crouched down in a nearby bush, hidden away. She looked through the bushes to a horrific scene, she wasn't exaggerating, there was a clearing with blood splattered everywhere, an unrecognizable body near the center.
The body might have been unrecognizable, but the scent wasn't, her entire body felt weak as she smelled her own mother's scent, the body was that of her mother.
And right next to her mother's body was her father, pinned, pinned under the claws of an amber-eyed cat, her father was struggling underneath the monsters paws and she saw him, the cat who was about to kill her father, bend his head to her father's ears, and whisper something in a low tone, afterwords digging his claws into his throat and stomach, turning as he did so.
She felt sick to her stomach as she watched her father die right in front of her. No… please no... please let this be a nightmare, I couldn't live with myself if it's not. Silverpaw shook her head, and whimpered. She felt tears coming to her eyes. Mom… dad... please get up! You can't be dead, you just can't.
She tore her gaze from her father's body to see the amber-eyed shadow looking at her. The cat's cold, hard gaze boring through her, his claws leaving deep gouges in the earth.
Whiteclaw: Well this chapter took way too long to make… oh well… at least it got done.
Wildspeaker: I know it took meh awhile to get around to helping ya out, but now that we got past our writers block we can move forward with our work.
Whiteclaw: Yea it did take you awhile to help me out… what the hell man. Also disclaimer I don't own warriors, and please favorite, follow, and review my story not his. Jk his story is amazing you all should go check it out, but be warned his story isn't a Warriors fanfiction it's a Wings o Fire one, and yes, Wings o Fire. :3
Wildspeaker: Nice sellout, but anyway, speaking of stories, that's one of the things that made me late. But now we are back on track, and we will be updating our stories every other friday. So today, of course, even though it's Sunday, was his update day and next week will be mine. :)
Whiteclaw: Yea we really didn't have a plan to when, where, what story we were going to right throughout the week, so this got uploaded a few days late, but hey, now we do! :D Also I haven't read the new warriors arc yet, and I probably won't so if there's some conflicting things in this story that is false in the actual story so don't blame me, blame Wildspeaker. ;3
Wildspeaker: Yea blame me, cause I definitely control the financial aspect of our lives. This chapter was really sad though… y'all welcome...
Whiteclaw: Yea it was… I wonder how it will effect Silverpaw in the future… oh wait… I do know…
Wildspeaker: Gee, I wonder…
Whiteclaw: Anyways till next time. See y'all later.
Wildspeaker: ^
