Darkness is Lurking Chapter 1: The Library, a warriors fanfic

CHAPTER 1

It was a dark, snowy night of the land of Lurch. There was a thin layer of snow and the trees where covered in crystal frost. No one was awake in the palace, only the Queen of Cats, Lila. She was sitting at her desk pondering. There was news from the west that the army of Canfal was returning. She had her quill and book out thinking of ideas of how to stop the army.

"I can't let anyone know of this news, these lands will go into panic and the Lords will kill me if I didn't inform them first."

She stood up and started to stroll to the library with her book and quill in her paws.

"Mam, why are you up this late? Is something bothering you?"

Lila looked around and saw Skylar, she was on her hind legs, starring at Lila, her blue eyes shone in the moonlight.

"No Skylar, nothing is up. Why aren't you at home?"

"I wanted to go out and practice my bow skills Mam. I got this new one today so I wanted some time getting use to it."

"I see, you can continue, i am just heading to the library."

"Okay Mam. But be warned, Lika is in there. She is in a awful mood. Her and Zalk have had another argument. So don't disturb her, unless you want a paw broken!"

Skylar laughed and ran into the distance. Lila grinned and kept walking. When she got to the doors she could hear a sound.

"Hello, Lika is that you," she walked into the library to only see Lika ripping books up.

"LIKA, don't do that. Let your anger out another way!"

"You wouldn't understand. Your not in a relationship with a bimbo called ZALK! I would kill him with my sword sometimes. He is just on my nerve, ignore me."

Lika walked over to Lila, she grabbed both her paws and looked at her.

"Sister, you have been amazing Queen after Mother and Father died. And I know I am next in line but..." She paused for a second, she took a deep breath then said, "I don't want to be a princess, all I want to be is a Lord at most. That is why I was fighting with Zalk, I told him but he kept on asking me if it is a good decision. I just got angry at him, and that is why i have been ripping up the books, see look at the name of these books."

Lila walked over to the ripped books, she saw lots of tatty books with old leather covers and stains. "What are these books Sister. Are these valuable?"

"If you want to be a princess of the lands. These are my old books that Mrs. Karmat gave me for studying. I'm sorry sister, I am truly sorry but I want to have a happy life without knowing that the land and my life will never be peaceful."

"I hear you. Go home to Zalk and apologize to him for once instead of getting me to say sorry for you! Now go along!"

Lika ran to the table, grabbed her sword and rushed out of the building. Lila looked down at the books and started to pick each one up and popped them down on the table.

Suddenly the doors swung open and in came a tall black cat. He walked in. "Lila! I have... Wait, was has happened here? Was this Lika?"

"Yes. Lika has said she doesn't want to be next in line and wants to be a Lord instead. It will mean now that I will need a new assistant. And that i will need to change some things. What is the time now Mane?"

"Half passed two! I walked in here because I heard Lika run and shouting Zalk in the middle of the court yard. Come, we will clean up the books tomorrow. But you should get to sleep Lila."

Mane grabbed her paw and pulled her up. They both walked out of the library muttering to 1It was a dark, snowy night of the land of Lurch.
