Welcome to my new spoof Warriors story! Thanks to everyone who checked out the OCs Needed forms, those are still up, by the way. I still need important cats for the other clans, & many OCs so bring them in once the allegiances are up!

Anyways, I am still continuing Sunfrost, I just want to do something different for a while.

Everything belongs to rightful owners.

Read on & enjoy!

There was a slight jingle of a bell as Paige twitched her ears, sunlight faded into the clear glass & created a warm spot on the kitchen floor. There was a quiet bang as the cat-flap swung shut.

Paige opened her big blue eyes to stare in the direction of the noise, she was lying on the soft-furry blue & red cat-pillow. With a flick of her tail tip, Paige leapt to her paws & quietly padded outside to see what her friend was up to.

"Quillow?"

Paige called softly, halfway through the cat-flap. Paige looked around the well kept, green garden.

Quillow's Twolegs were still asleep, so maybe he just went out for some fresh air?

Paige shook her head, Quillow usually runs to the cat-flap if he's going to make dirt or gasp for air, something's up.

The pale ginger she-kit bounded around the side of the Twoleg den & stopped, a familiar scent reached her as she twitched her whiskers. Memories that happened from 3 nights ago flooded her mind.

Her brother's dead body at the monochrome tabby's paws.

Her mother's blood spraying out over the grass, like crimson rain.

The screams of the other poor kittypets that were caught in the sharp claws of the wildcats.

She remembered running from house to house, crossing roads after roads until she found Quillow. Paige was in the middle of being attacked by a blue tabby known as 'Highpaw' when her jay-coloured friend bounded to her rescue.

Paige shook herself, too alarmed to drown in her nightmares, she quietly but quickly padded around the corner and let out a tiny gasp as she spotted Quillow sitting with a black tom. She froze as she recognized the tom's scent, this black tom had shown mercy on her that awful night, yet he never seemed to leave her out of his icy sight.

Paige strained to hear what they were saying & why Quillow was talking to one of the wildcats, she hid behind a Twoleg chair as she observed them.

"Quillow, I'm not here to start a fight-"

The tom began, Paige knew it was him, he had the same icy voice.

"I still don't trust you, Cutsmile, why are you here?"

Quillow cut him off as he began to wash himself, Cutsmile sighed as he flicked his tail tip.

"I already told you: Sleekstar sent me because we recognized her. Okay?"

Quillow stopped mid-lick as he turned his blue gaze onto Cutsmile, Paige knew she could trust Quillow with anything, Cutsmile & the rest of those feral cats wouldn't be getting away without a fight.

"Still, not good enough. You can't just take her away & expect her to forget & like your kind, you killed her family in front of her & you wouldn't stop chasing her."

Suddenly, Cutsmile lashed his tail as he raised his voice.

"I only followed her so she wouldn't get hurt! Look, we have next to no cats in our clan. Paige is a good hunter, she's got skill, just like her mother. If they were all still alive I know Sleekstar would want all of them to join DarkClan."

Quillow shook his head as Paige winced at Cutsmile's outburst.

"You stupid wildcats and your clans. I know who Ginger was before she had kits, I only promised to help them. Now look what you've done..."

Cutsmile flicked one of his ears as Quillow went back to washing himself as they basked in the early rays of dawn.

"If she wants to follow in her mother's footsteps, it's her choice, don't force her to do anything she doesn't want to do. I know all your secrets, I swear by your ancestors, if Paige is in harm's way-"

"I can't promise you or Paige that she won't be in harm's way. Its the life of a warrior, you hunt, fight to defend your clan against mother nature & the other clans."

Cutsmile's voice sounded distant, full of grief, not pride. This confused Paige, did Cutsmile not enjoy being a warrior?

"Paige, come out, I know you're there."

Paige's pale ginger head shot up, how did her kittypet friend know that she was there?

"How?"

Paige asked as she trotted up to the toms & sat on the other side of Quillow, the blue tabby looked at her with blank blue eyes.

"Because usually at this time of day, you're over by the ferns & orchids."

Paige looked to her favourite spot in Quillow's garden, the sun shone on the orchids all day until dusk & the ferns provided cool shade. Paige usually lied across both of the plants, half her body in the sun, the other half in the shade of the ferns.

"Oh..."

Paige curled her fluffy tail over her paws as she bent her head down, refusing to meet Cutsmile & Quillow's gaze.

"You like ferns?"

Cutsmile asked, his voice was soft & sounded curious, Paige just nodded.

"You heard all of that, didn't you? It's your choice, stay here with me. Wander the streets alone, or with Swift. Or, do you want to join your mother's kin, in the clans? You won't be alone, you'll have kits your age, you'll have Cutsmile to protect you as well as many other cats."

Quillow shifted so Paige & Cutsmile's eyes met, Paige saw everything of what it meant to be a warrior in just one glance at Cutsmile's sorrowful icy gaze.

"It's always your choice."

Paige shifted her paws, their eyes never parted.

"Can I think about it?"

Paige couldn't take her gaze away from Cutsmile, even though when he looked away, there was something special about the black tom with a white smile. Cutsmile was around about the same age as Quillow, the two of them were only a couple of months older than Paige.

"Of course! Yes! You have 3-4 days, okay? Tell this to Sleekstar."

Quillow shot a warning look at Cutsmile.

"Alright, he'll be happy to hear that. Anything else?"

Quillow looked at Paige, the ginger she-cat shook her head as she broke away from staring at the black tom.

"Anything we should keep an eye for?"

Quillow asked, at first Cutsmile waved his tail and looked confusedly down at his paws.

"Oh! Sleekstar might not be sending me to hear your choice, either it'll be me, Longstripe & Huntingmoon, Orangmask & Hiddenpelt or Rimfaxe & Highpaw. If I were you, I'd hope for Huntingmoon & Hiddenpelt at the least."

With that, Cutsmile got to his paws & with a flick of his tail, the black tom raced to the forest that loomed at the edge of Quillow's territory.

"Thank you."

The words slipped from Paige's mouth before she even realised who she meant to thank.

"No problem, now let's go inside & wake my housefolk & have some food!"

Quillow turned on his heel & marched toward the cat-flap, Paige didn't mind Quillow's food, it was a soft, delicious & red meat.

Paige went to go follow him, but something bothered her; she knew she didn't say thanks to Quillow, than why was she thanking a murderous cat?
