A/N: This is my prologue to my own warriors story. These characters are mine, and have nicknames like Eagle, Hawk, Rowan, etc. They have warrior names as well. Eaglelight, Hawkears, stuff like that. I will probably post a chapter with all the Clans and characters. After this one. There are four Clans - FireClan, SkyClan, WaterClan, and EarthClan. I made these names up, except for SkyClan. The others I have made myself. Enjoy my round of a warriors story! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors. I own these characters and Clans, though.
Emerald eyes stared out from the undergrowth. A young tom watched the wind sway the long grass, back and forth. He was waiting for two cats he knew would be there. He stayed crouched down under a bramble thicket until he saw a movement across the clearing. He saw a two pairs of eyes - amber and silver. As he waited for them to come out, he crouched lower and opened his jaws to scent the air. He caught their scent.
It's them, alright, he thought darkly. Then a tom with wide ears stepped out from under a bush and a silver she-cat with black markings over her pelt stood next to him. They looked around and scented the air. The tom's ears pricked up when he caught the scent he wanted.
"Come out, Eagle. We know you're under there." The tom's deep voice carried out across the clearing.
Eagle stepped out from under his bush into the moonlit moor. The moonlight glinted off his golden fur, making it look silver. The two cats nodded in respect to him. Eagle nodded back.
"Where are we headed, Hawk? I can't scent them anywhere." Hawk looked at Eagle with his dark amber eyes. He shook his head sadly.
"I'm not sure, Eagle. The last time we followed their scent, it was down the river. But we lost it at the steps to the swamp. They could be out of the forest by now. Shadow couldn't even catch their scent." Eagle's ears pricked in surprise. Shadow was one of their best trackers. Eagle lashed his tail angrily as he scuffed the ground.
"Where could they be? Why would they want to leave FireClan? We didn't do anything to them." Eagle turned and began pacing. Shadow and Hawk watched him carefully.
Eagle sighed and turned to the two cats. "We have to head back home. We've been gone for too long; the full moon is coming up. Scarstar will not be pleased if we are missed," Eagle said firmly to his Clanmates.
Shadow looked down at her paws and Hawk just nodded curtly. Eagle sighed again and started off towards the way to his camp, twitching his tail for the others to follow him. He couldn't believe they hadn't been able to find Rowan and Cloud. They have been gone for three days now. He just hoped the apprentice and warrior were in the paws of StarClan. They couldn't be too far.
Could they?
