WARRIORS: JAYPAW'S QUEST

PT: Hey there! Yo! OH! No, I'm not Soulja Boy, though my friends love him. Alright, CALLING ALL YOU WARRIORS LOVERS!!!!!!!!!!! This fanfic is rated T because of blood, language and kidnapping. Not exactly kidnapping, really. Just read and find out what I mean. This happens after 'The Sight'. Sadly, I'm still reading 'Firestar's Quest' at the moment, so I'm not reading 'Dark River' yet.

Disclaimer: 'Warriors' belongs to Erin Hunter, three people. If I owned it, though, I'd get damn Tigerstar to stop trying to brainwash his kin and Hawkfrost would come back to life and realize his evil ways and join Riverclan as a good cat. Sadly, though, there's little chance of that.

Leafpool quietly tidied up the last of the herbs and padded to her nest. It was already midnight and she had already seen to Firestar. She was worried, especially seeing as she was Firestar's daughter. Firestar was sick with a disease. It was new, so she knew nothing about it. That's what worried her. If her father died, she'll never forgive herself. The only thing she could pick out was that the disease wasn't contagious. Even her apprentice and nephew, Jaypaw, couldn't pick it out. This was bad.

She picked up a stack of herbs wrapped in a leaf and padded softly out into the clearing. She went over to the leader's den and stood at the entrance. All was dark. Attentively, Leafpool called out her leader's name.

"Firestar?"

There was a batter of coughing before Leafpool heard a voice rasp, "Come in."

Leafpool padded in to. Gradually, she got closer to Firestar and saw him curled up in his nest, his bright, flame-colored pelt unusually dull. Leafpool held back a gasp.

Firestar got up slightly, his paws shaking.

"Don't move!" Leafpool cried out, trying to sound like a medicine cat.

She got closer and set the leaf down in front of Thunderclan's leader.

"Thanks Leafpool." Firestar rasped and licked her ear affectionately.

Leafpool pressed her flank to his.

"Just eat the herbs and stay alive to tell me you're grateful."

Firestar gave a purr of amusement as he nudged the leaf open.

"I'll make it. Get some rest, Leafpool."

Leafpool dipped her head.

"Yes, Firestar."

As she padded out of the den, she glanced back to see Firestar's green eyes shining as he gulped the bitter herbs down.

Leafpool padded back to her den and settled down in her nest.

She curled around and tried to sleep. Yet she couldn't. She turned this way and that, her thoughts only on Firestar. The image of her leader's dulled pelt was the only thing that flashed through her mind.

After hours of turning and tossing, Leafpool finally drifted off into a restless sleep…and perhaps the longest any Clan cat fell into…

Jaypaw opened his blue eyes, although he was blind so it didn't make much of a difference to him.

There were sounds around him. Leafpool will want him soon. He stood up and yawned. He stretched and cricked his back. What time of day was it?

"Good morning Jaypaw!" Jaypaw heard Poppypaw's voice and his fur bristled. She was so nice to him after she was saved from the brink of death a few moons ago.

It felt…so good to feel that warmth that exploded in his chest whenever he heard his siblings', mother's or Poppypaw's voice called to him in a kind of kindness…

Jaypaw wished he could hear that from his father, but it didn't happen that often.

Jaypaw shook his head to clear it. He'll need to get to work now. No matter how much he resented it.

He mewed, "Good morning Poppypaw." and headed out for the medicine cat's den. It felt good that Leafpool had let him sleep in the apprentice's den, even if it was only one night.

Jaypaw entered the medicine cat's den and followed Leafpool's scent to her nest. Her scent was clear on the bedding; she was still resting on her nest.

"Leafpool?"

This was so unlike her; Leafpool was always up before him.

Jaypaw tried pushing his nose in her fur. It might wake her.

Suddenly, he froze. He felt it…

Jaypaw frantically turned…ran out of the den…into the middle of the clearing…ignoring his kin and clanmates' calls…

And yowled so hard, creatures could hear him from the sun-drown place to Twolegplace.

A tabby rushed desperately around an unfamiliar forest as she tried to get home…

-Squeaks and runs to the nearest library.-

PT: Cliffhanger! Don't try killing me or you'll never confirm what happens next! You may be able to guess what's happening…or not… Who knows? All I know is:

I'll need to update soon or I'll be killed.

I am very thirsty for reviews.

I'm very selfish.

Please review and tell me how the story is so far!
