Hello people! It is me, Starlight Warrior 1092, here yet again, to bring you, this time, a warriors story! Bum bum bum! Here it is! Lone Flower in the Meadow! Amazing title, I know. And I also know that I probably shouldn't be starting another story, but I'm getting far in typing this one! I have been in a warriors mood since I started reading Plain by WoodyThePony and Shattered Love by Kawakage, both are very good fan fics. This is going to be my longest story so far, once I'm done with it. And it will have a prophecy, give it time.

Disclaimer! I do not own anything Warriors! I only own my plot, my characters and my Clans. You shall all get a clan listing thingy later on, when the clans come into the story.

No flames please! Only nice reviews are allowed! I am not mean to anyone, so, please, don't be mean to me! Please! Read! Review! Comment! Love it!

Lone Flower in the Meadow

Chapter 1 Violet

By Starlight Warrior 1092

It was a cool night in leaf-bare and the night was clear. No sounds were heard besides the noise of the river rushing quickly down the stream and the faint paw steps of a cat following the stream downstream. The cat walked slowly, trying as carefully as possible not to knock one of the precious kits that she was carrying on the ground.

The cat was a smoky gray color and had snow white paws, tail tip, belly, and white around her eyes like a mask. She was carrying three small, one day old kittens in her jaws. One of them, the oldest, was a jet black tomcat with white feet and a snow white tail. The next oldest was a tan female who had dark brown tabby stripes covering her small body. The youngest kitten was a small female with a white pelt, speckled with black, brown, tan and ginger. She was the smallest of the litter, and the mother cat didn't know if she would survive or not.

The farther downstream the mother cat got, the more relaxed she became. But when she heard a cats yowl, her heart quickened.

No! They couldn't have found us already! I have to get my kits out of here! The mother cat thought to herself, changing direction and racing into the forest.

Before the cat got very far, she felt claws sink into her back and the almost overwhelming pain shoot through her body.

"Thinking about escaping?" A cat meowed, pulling its claws out of the mother cats back.

"Yes!" She hissed in the cats face. "You will never be able to harm my kits, Shadow! I will die to protect them from you!"

Oh, how true those words will be, my precious Violet. Shadow thought to himself, clawing at the ground. But before that, you will learn the true meaning of pain!

Violet quickly dropped her kittens in a clump of ferns, preparing to battle the long haired jet black tomcat that was threatening her kits. Violet turned and faced him, her orange eyes shining with love and belief. Shadow laughed.

"You really think you can beat me?" Shadow asked Violet between laughs. "Me, of all cats? The star fighter in this town? Try all you want, you won't succeed!"

"I just need to stall you long enough . . ." Violet murmured, to quietly for Shadow to hear. "Nightblaze will get here soon, I know he will!"

Trying to buy time for her mate to come, Violet decided to get Shadow talking. He always was an annoying chatter-box as a kit.

"Shadow, why did you turn against us? Why did you help those pieces of crowfood gain control of our territory? Do you know how many kits and young cats they killed?" Violet hissed, unsheathing her claws and pacing around Shadow. "Do you know that they killed Twig? They killed my brother! Do you know how much they hurt the cats of our town? How much they hurt me?"

"I didn't turn against the town cats; I helped the other cats in their time of need. I gave them a home and helped the town cats by expanding the group." Shadow meowed. His eyes suddenly flashed, and he hissed, "Anyway, Twig didn't die by the paws of the new cats. He was killed by a rouge. He had been hunting-"

"Don't lie to me!" Violet hissed, suddenly angry. Tears started flowing from her eyes. "He was killed by those fox hearted new cats! They took him away from me . . . my only brother! And you joined them! As far as I'm concerned, you are as much as responsible as they are!"

"I didn't kill Twig . . . and I have a reason for joining them . . ." Shadow hissed as he continued to pace around Violet. "You. You were the reason that I joined them."

"How was I the reason?" Violet hissed. "I never did anything to you!"

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong." Shadow meowed, stopping and preparing to pounce. "You did do something to me! When we were young. You chose a clan cat. You broke my heart, Violet! Shattered it into a million pieces! I loved you so much, and you go running off with some flea-bitten clan cat! Wasn't I good enough for you?" Shadow suddenly became quieter. "Wasn't I good enough for you? Why did you have to hurt me, so much, every day?"

Shadow didn't wait for an answer. He leaped at Violet, aiming for her neck, trying for the killing bite. Violet quickly side-stepped, dodging Shadow's first attack. She quickly raked her claws down Shadow's flank, causing him to yowl out in pain. He quickly turned around and leapt at the smoky gray cat. This time, Shadow bowled Violet over and pinned her against the ground. He bit down on her throat, causing blood to splatter on the ground.

"Ahhh!" Violet screamed, choking on her own blood. "Let . . . go . . . you . . . are . . . kill . . . ing . . . me . . ."

Just as Violet thought that she was going to die, she looked up and saw a dark tabby striped gray tomcat racing towards them. Night . . . blaze . . . The world went dark for Violet as Nightblaze bowled Shadow over and ripped at his pelt until Shadow raced away, screeching in pain and covered in blood. Then Nightblaze raced over to where his mate laid, the life bleeding out of her.

"No . . . Violet!" Nightblaze yowled. "Don't leave me! I'll get help, just stay strong and don't die!"

Okay, maybe this was more of a prologue then a real chapter, but . . . I am the writer! What I say goes! Will Violet die? What happened to her kits? And what abot Shadow, where did he go? Some of these question will be answered in the next chapter! Not the one about Shadow, though. No one cares about him. Until next time, read, review, comment, love it!
