And the sequel...
Gingerfur moved quietly with her apprentance Bluepaw back to camp. Gingerfur had two pieces of prey in her mouth, so did Bluepaw. With Gingerfur as her mentor, Bluepaw had turned into an extraordinary hunter, so had Hollypaw who was Orangefur's apprentance. This winter season things be fine with many cats learning to perfect their hunting with help from Gingerfur, Orangefur and Redclaw.
These cats had joined the clan many moons ago. Originally there had been seven of them, most had been killed, one had joined another clan. Only three now remained in Thunderclan along with a few kits birthed in Thunderclan. After a large, devastating battle where both Riverclan and Shadowclan had attacked Gingerfur had changed from Leo Ginger to accept her destiny in Thunderclan.
Now as they padded into the Gorse tunnel, she saw everything was calm. An evening patrol had just been sent out. Some cats were eating, Apprentances scuffled playfully in the dirt near their den. Bluepaw hurried to put her prey in the prey pile and went to be with the other apprentances. Gingerfur watched her apprentance with obvious affection before putting her prey in the pile, then picking two mice up and went over to the nursery.
She crawled into the large den and smiled as she saw Mousefur resting with her head on her paws, five kits snuggling up into her brown fur. She dropped a mouse nearby for her. Then she turned toward Sandstorm who looked up and smiled at the she-cat, seeing that she'd already been brought a meal. She should've suspected the Firestar would make sure she was always fed.
"Hello, Gingerfur." She yawned dipping her head. "Thanks for that, hey just leave it here I'll eat it later."
"Okay." She said gently. "Well see you around."
Sandstorm nodded and put her head back on her paws and Gingerfur crawled out into the evening light. Her fur prickled, the new moon was tonight. It would be the first gathering since the attack on Thunderclan. Things would be tense, but she knew that Shadowclan and Riverclan would have enough sense not to pick a fight, not under the truce of Starclan.
She saw Graystripe padding around, telling different cats who was going to the gathering and who wasn't. She hoped she was chosen, but wouldn't mind staying here at camp, she could hunt some more. It was more challenging in the dark and she fancied a challenge one and a while. Graystripe came to her.
"Hey, Firestar wants you to stay here and you'll be in charge of camp." Graystripe explained. "Shouldn't too much be going on, but this is just incase."
Gingerfur nodded to Graystripe. "Alright then." Graystripe nodded to her and went over to the apprentances.
"Gingerfur!" She turned to see Sorreltail padding over, a smile on her face. "You've got to come with Smallpaw and I when we go out to the Training Hollow tomorrow. I'm not to good at that special move, but I want someone to show him."
"Oh, that'd be fine." Gingerfur said. "I need to see if Bluepaw remembers that one, I taught her earlier."
"Okay." Sorreltail said, beginning to turn away.
"Wait, I'm going to send out another patrol after the others leave for the gathering." She said. "I want you to take out a patrol a little bit after the moon fully rises."
"Oh, okay." Sorreltail nodded respectfully to the older cat before trotting away to the nursery.
Gingerfur sighed as she went to the prey pile. She picked up a squirrel and headed over to the stump were other warriors were eating. She settled between Dustpelt and Thornclaw. She watched sadly as Cloudtail soon finished and got up silently, heading into the warrior's den. No one said anything and no one looked up as the white cat disappeared.
Gingerfur felt a painful twist in her stomach, making the rest of her squirrel seem so unappetising. During the fight, Cloudtail's mate had died from her wounds and giving birth to her and Cloudtail's litter. Cloudtail was heartbroken and never really gained back his old self. He lived as a sort of ghost, the only time he seemed content was when he was with Whitepaw, his and Brightheart's first kit, or his new born kits, Lightkit and Spiritkit. It was quite depressing at times.
"Scarface, I think we've found a new, better home, look." A gruff voice growled from the shadows of an old barn.
"I see, Fangfighter." Another voice said from the shadow. This one dared step out of the shadow. He was a large, powerful beast. He had gleaming silver fur and sickly yellow eyes. Scars were almost the only thing you could see on his face. He was a wolf. His comrade, Fangfighter dared step from the shadow's after his leader. The two male wolves glared down from the hill.
"Wild-eye shalt be pleased with this." Fangfighter added, his breath reeked of blood.
The two wolves had traveled far in a pack. Their pack traveled from land to land each year, looking for a settlement of cats to destroy. Last year had been a group called the Twelve Stars. They'd killed off most of the cats, only a few had escaped, they'd dreamed of finding those cats and killing them off.
"He says this is where the cats might've gone." Added Fangfighter again. Scarface only nodded, the scent of cat lingered from the forest and meadow below them.
"Come Fangfighter, before more of the Strangelings come after us." Scarface said, turning and heading back into the shadows. Fangfighter smirked and followed obediently after Scarface.
As they headed back to the pack, they left behind the battered body of a black and white tom.
An eerie silence had fallen over the gathering. The medicines gathered, trying to interpret if it was a sign from Starclan. They could not. A single star in the sky was glaring so brightly, growing larger, stronger, the other stars seemed to fade into the distance. A strong scent of fear fell over the gathering. Then Leafpaw rose.
"Enemy of mine, now yours, take two away, find a relative answer, now the lion shall meet a new enemy."
Hehehehe...here it is, the sequel. You guys didn't have to ask, I did it anyway. I couldn't help but make the sequel and here if the opening chapter.
If anybody can figure out what the lines of the prophecy mean and explain it, I'll give you a permanent character with a large role in the story. It is quite simple, just takes a bit of thinking.
