The Tiger and his Joy
Hello people of Fanfiction! I am here to bring a story based off the Warriors series. I hope now that this will bring interest, because it is one of my versions of the real warriors series! I hope you will enjoy as our characters go through hardships, love, and of course, a little break-out of fights along the way. I hope you enjoy! Criticism is allowed, but not to much hate here! I am a beginning writer with a bunch of ideas, I hope you will help me in becoming a better author, so I would really like help along the way
UmbraVulpes does not own warriors sadly. If she did this might be a different series then what you know from the original.

Mossheart is Mosskit from Bluestar's Prophecy, and Longtail and Darkstripe are apprentices for certain reasons *read the story and you'll figure it out* okay, on with the story!

A golden she-cat stared out in the clearing, looking at the stars. She didn't stop looking even when a dark brown tabby tom slowly padded out a planted himself next to her. He closed his eyes, and mewed "I had a dream. Do you remember Thistleclaw, my mentor," he said and the she-cat nodded, "I saw him on one side, a path of blood and darkness leading to him, his grin seemed like a fox.". He paused, before starting up again.
"I listened as Thistleclaw gave a cold shout "Tigerclaw, you could be leader, a noble leader that could lead this clan from the ground to the sky, you will be more powerful than Starclan, the darkness that guides you will show you the power!". Tigerclaw paused.
"However, my mother walked towards me, and she whispered in my ear with a warm touch "Tigerclaw, my dear, I did you no good, I spoiled you when I should have been treating you normal. Your mentor was not wise, he was bloodthirsty. I know you now think of him as a bright and noble warrior, but look closer". He drew in a hard breath, and continued.
"Well, I stared hard at Thistleclaw, and there I saw it. His paws were dripping with blood, and in a puddle in front of him I saw myself, smiling, drenched in blood, with dozens of bodies that lay before me". The tom's voice started to shake with slight sadness "I looked at my mother, and she had slowly nodded. She mewed "Dear, I loved you because you're my son, and now I am here to tell you to forget Thistleclaw. Looked towards the stars and not the darkness that stares straight in your face. Forget your past and what Thistleclaw caused upon you. For that mentor was nothing but a cat of pure power and blood-thirsty ambition. Save yourself Tigerclaw, and looked towards Starclan, that is where the light shines, that is where you can shine your brightest. Not with ambition for power, but the sweet, caring ambition of protecting your clan.".
Tigerclaw looked towards the golden-she cat, and saw she was staring straight into his eyes with caring, and love.
"And you know what I did Goldenflower? I walked firmly up to Thistleclaw, and spat at his face. My mother had been glowing with pride, and now I wish I could have seen the darkness within him. But, now I know".
Tigerclaw sighed, and closed his eyes, remembering that dream.
Goldenflower stared at Tigerclaw, then pressed against him with care.
She whispered "Tigerclaw, you saved me from a terrible future, sure there was loss, but I'm here now. And you don't always have to be the savior. I am right here for you, and if you fell down, I will be right here to pick you up".
Goldenflower turned and looked up towards Tigerclaw's face, and licked his cheek with care.
He turned towards Goldenflower, and whispered "Do you miss them?"
She looked straight into his eyes, a fierce love set hard in her gaze. "Of course I miss them. They were our kits, and I will never forget them. I will love them forever, and I will always remember them."
"Do you remember what they look like?"
"Who couldn't forget, the one tom who looked like you, and the tom and she-cat with the pelts that seemed on fire. I have them glued to my memory."
"They were beautiful, weren't they?"
"They were our kits, they would have been. And rock hard, just like you", Goldenflower playfully butted his shoulder.
Tigerclaw purred, twining his tail with hers as he mewed "Come on, lets go to bed". The two padded into the den, and curled around together in the warmth and safety of their nests, in Thunderclan.
