Chapter One
Note: This is when the Alpha who is half-wolf leads the pack. Also, dogs and cats can understand each other. I am also bringing the Seekers into this story. I do not own the Warriors, Survivors, or Seekers! The author is Erin Hunter.
Dog's POV
"Alpha!" The huge half-wolf swung his head around to glare at the sheltie retriever mix. "What is it, Bella?" the dog snapped. "I smell something that smells like...pine trees, frog guts, marsh, and sharpclaws (cats)." "Me too, Alpha," a whippet mix and beagle mix said in unison. "We have the right to hunt there, and we're going to." "But Alpha-" "Silence, Dart!" Alpha snarled. The pack walked across the territory only to be confronted by sharpclaws. The head of the three cats was a dark gray tom with amber eyes, while the female behind him had cream colored fur and amber eyes also. The tom next to the she-cat was a mottled black and ginger cat with green eyes. "Who are you?" the dark gray tom hissed. "Get off our territory!" Lucky padded forward. "Who are you?" he asked. The dark gray tom sighed. "I am Scorchfur, that's Dawnpelt," he said, pointing with his tail to the she-cat. "And that's Redwillow. This is ShadowClan. Now get off our territory! If you want to be welcomed, go to ThunderClan. It's over there. And be aware of the twolegs." The pack looked confused. "What are twolegs?" Snap asked.
"Those creatures who have patches of fur on their heads and walked around with different colored pelts on their heads," Dawnpelt explained. "Oh! They mean longpaws!" Lucky said. (Note: Longpaws and twolegs are humans.) "What interesting names," Daisy said. The Pack ran toward the border was and they ran directly into Lionblaze, Thornclaw, and Squirrelflight. "I am assuming you are ThunderClan," Alpha growled. "We wish to come to your camp." The three cats, intimidated by the dogs, walked them to camp silently.
Lucky gazed around as many sharpclaws looked alarmed and a lot of them were hissing. A dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes pushed through the group. He must be the Alpha, Lucky realized. "Greetings. I am Bramblestar, leader of ThunderClan. What brings you to our camp?""I am Alpha, and this is mypack. One of our members had a dream that said, 'One will bring four together, and five will bring three together.'"
Bramblestar called for a meeting and everyone gathered around. "Please introduce yourselves. Cinderheart, please translate what they say." "I am Alpha, and this is my second in command, Beta. The hunters are Fiery, Snap, Spring, Lucky, Bruno, Bella, and Mickey. The Patrol Dogs are Moon, Dart, Martha, Daisy, and Whine. The Omega is Sunshine, and the pups are Squirm, Nose, and Lick."
"I am Bramblestar. This is my deputy, Squirrelflight. She is my second in command. This is our medicine cat, Jayfeather. He heals and helps everyone. He is also blind...and snappy. The warriors are Graystripe, Dustpelt, Sandstorm, Brackenfur, Sorreltail, Cloudtail, Brightheart, Millie, Thornclaw, Leafpool, Spiderleg, Birchfall, Whitewing, Berrynose, Hazeltail, Mousewhisker, Cinderheart, Lionblaze, Foxleap, Icecloud, Toadstep, Rosepetal, Briarlight, Blossomfall, Bumblestripe, Dovewing, and Ivypool. The queens are Ferncloud, Daisy, and Poppyfrost, who has two kits named Cherrykit and Molekit. And the elders are Mousefur and Purdy."
Lucky went up to the gray tabby tom and a golden tabby tom with amber eyes. "Hi, I am Lucky. Who are you?" he asked. "I am Lionblaze, and this is my brother Jayfeather. We also have a sister named Hollyleaf, but she's dead," the golden tabby explained. "Oh, that's so sad. Bella's my litter-sister. Do you see how we look alike?" Jayfeather stared at him with stern eyes. "I can't see," he snapped. "I forgot. Tell me about yourselves," he said. "Leafpool is our mother and she was a medicine cat. Medicine cats can't have mates or kits. She broke that rule. Crowfeather of WindClan is our father. He is also the father of Breezepelt, the arrogant mousebrain. He attacked me for no reason! You're not allowed to fall in love with cats from other Clans." "You mean sharpclaws!" "Is that what you call us?" Lionblaze asked.
"Yes. Our pack seems to be adjusting." "Is Alpha approachable?" "Unless you want to get snarled at, then no. He has made it clear that his needs come before ours." "That's terrible! I wouldn't want to approach him, Jayfeather." "He's half wolf. That's why he's so big." "Do you run into anyone on the way here?" Jayfeather asked. "Those cats from which they call themselves from ShadowClan. They seemed nice enough." Lionblaze grunted in amusement. "I am just surprised they didn't shred you." "They were probably intimidated by Alpha. Go get something to eat." "I can't until Alpha's eaten. It's tradition in the pack. Alpha, Beta, Mother-Dogs/Pups, Hunters, Patrol, then Omega." "We'll see about that. I am talking to Bramblestar." Jayfeather left without another word while Lionblaze and Lucky kept talking.
A while later, Jayfeather bought a rabbit from the fresh-kill pile over to Lucky. "Don't go near Alpha for a while. He's really angry." "I am impressed that cats can catch that much prey," Lucky barked. "You should see the tribe of cats up in the mountains. They catch hawks singlepawed!" Lionblaze exclaimed. "The Gathering is tomorrow. You should get some sleep," Jayfeather said. "The Gathering is a place where all four Clans meet once a moon. Don't worry, there's a truce. If StarClan is angry, they'll cover the moon with clouds." "It's like he can read my mind!" Lucky said. "That's because he can," Lionblaze replied. He explained the whole prophecy thing. "Wow. Just wow. What's StarClan?" "StarClan are our warrior ancestors. If a cat dies and he/she has done good deeds and served their Clan, they go into StarClan. If their like Tigerstar and commit bad deeds and betray their Clan, they go to the Dark Forest. Do you have any warrior ancestors?" A tabby she-cat with dark blue eyes and a pale gray she-cat padded up. "Is it alright if we join the conversation?" the tabby asked. "Sure, it's fine with me," Lucky said. "This is Dovewing and her sister Ivypool," Lionblaze introduced.
"Ivypool's actually a spy for the Dark Forest." Ivypool glared at Lionblaze. "We were just talking about spirits." "We have the Spirit Dogs, who watch over us. The Sky-Dogs are a group of dogs in the sky. My Mother-Dog told me stories about them when we were pups. There's the Sun-Dog, the River-Dog, the Moon-Dog, the Forest Dog, the Earth-Dog, and there's Lightning. He has great speed and can outrun even death itself. The Sky-Dogs love him, while the Earth-Dog believes it's his time to die. Every time there's lightning, Lightning is running down to earth to taunt the Earth-Dog. There was a crazy dog named Terror who believed in the Fear-Dog. We don't known if he's real or not. But I am guessing not." Exhaustion rained down on him. "You should join your Pack," Lionblaze said quietly. "That's a lot of spirits," Ivypool exclaimed. "We have a RiverClan. I bet Martha would like that. We talked earlier," Dovewing explained. "It was great talking to you." Lucky said. "Good night." "Good night," the trio echoed. Lucky walked to his pack. "Why were you gossiping with the sharpclaws all day, City-Dog?" Alpha snarled. Lucky just said, "I just wanted to find out more information about them." Then he padded over to Martha, Lick, and Bella, laid down, and fell asleep.
