Wolf's Dream
Hello, pups! I am back with another story! This is going to be about a human-turned-cat Warriors story. I am really excited about this story, even though I will probably fail, because, I can not, for the life of me, finish a story. I am a terrible person! I'll just let you read now...

FARAH LARKIN HARTHORN'S POV
CHAPTER 1: AM I DREAMING?
-ooo-
I woke up at 7:00 am and started my normal routine. First up, fall on the floor after failing to get my legs to work.
Next, get my school uniform and take a bath.
Then, after I take a bath, I put my socks and shoes on and brush my teeth.
Afterwards, fold my blanket so my mom won't get mad, go downstairs, and get a piece of toast with jam on top.
Finally, go to school.
I quickly arrived at the private school my mom sent me to and looked around. It looked the same as everyday. The popular girls gossiping, the boys playing sports, and my friend Pandora Halkius jumping at the sight of every cat or Warriors book.
'Wait' I thought, 'Pan jumping because of cats and Warriors? I have to find out what this is about!'
I walked over to my ash blonde haired friend with my waist long silver-like hair flying behind me.
"Hey, Pan. What's wrong?" I asked her, but she didn't have time to answer because the bell rang. I was currently 10 years old and in 5th grade and the first thing we had to do in the morning was math.
'Ugh, I hate math!' I thought.
Well, it was going to have to do until reading time at the end of the day.
-ooo-
The day passed by quickly with math followed by science and history. Finally, it was time for reading. The teacher pulled out a Warriors book. The whole class groaned, but the bookworms on the other side squealed with me.
Pan, however, was not being a bookworm today. She let out a small whimper and sank into her chair.
We started reading, but we were only allowed to read Chapter 1. We had to read Chapter 2 for homework.
We were dismissed, but before I could leave with everybody else, Pan stopped me.
"F-Farah, listen to me! T- today, you will go t-to a new world. J-just… just, Farah! Listen to me! Tell th-them that Amberflame sent you t-to fulfil a prophecy and tell Rippleblaze that Amberflame misses him and that she will always be with him. Thank you, Farah!"
I turned to Pan to ask her what she meant, but she disappeared.
Anyway, it was the end of the day, and I walked back home. I went inside, changed into a knee length silver acrylic skirt, a fitted white sweater top, and white ballet flats. I ate some leftover pizza and went to my room to do my homework.
I did all of my homework, except for the reading, because I always save the best for last. I started on chapter 2, wrote a small summary about it, changed into my pyjamas, and went to sleep.
'It would be cool to be a cat, wouldn't it?', I thought, 'yes, but I wonder what Pan meant…'
With that thought, I slipped into my dreams.
-ooo-
I woke up, but instead of feeling my soft bed, I felt the rusty sidewalk. I opened my eyes and my tail swished. Wait… tail?
I looked at myself and jumped. Instead of my long silver hair and human legs and arms, I was a cat. If you didn't get it the first time, I'll repeat what I just said: I AM A FREAKING CAT!
Taking a deep breath, I walked over to a pond that I knew lied a bit deep into the forest near my house. I got to the pond and looked at my reflection. I had silver fur with white paws and one black paw on the front left. I also had an ear with a white splotch, an ear with a black splotch, and blue eyes with specks of green and silver.
Once I finished looking at myself in disbelief, I thought, 'Dang, I actually look good, for a cat, anyway…'
I walked deeper into the forest, then I started trotting. I suddenly skidded to a halt and hid in some bushes; I saw three cats.
The first cat carried an air of authority. She was a mottled pale cream-and-brown tabby she-cat with amber eyes, cream patches, a long, brown tail, and a scar on her chest between her forelegs.
The second cat was a calm and peaceful cat. It was a large, sleek-furred, dark grey tabby tom with yellow eyes.
The third looked deadly, but behind those eyes, I could see sorrow. It was another tom. He had dark brown fur and was big, and he had a scar on his ear and, yet again, yellow eyes.
I moved slightly, ever so small, but the dark brown furred one spotted me.
"Leafstar, there's an intruder!" He told the she-cat, who, I guess, was called Leafstar.
'Oh, that's right! Oh, shoot! This is SkyClan! So the grey one is Hawkwing and the other one must be Rippleblaze! Wait… Rippleblaze? Didn't Pan tell me to tell him something?' I thought.
Leafstar took steps toward me until she finally reached the bush I was hiding in. She bent down and pulled me out of the bush. I instinctively whimpered, and the three cats looked at me in surprise.
"Rippleblaze! It's a kit! And we need warriors in our clan, too. We're gonna take her into our clan," said Leafstar, not taking note of Rippleblaze's disapproving face, but of Hawkwing's approving one.
Before Leafstar could pick me up, Rippleblaze said, "But Leafstar, we can't trust her! What if she's a WindClan kit? They've been trying to steal prey and land from us recently! We should leave her here for someone to pick her up!"
However, Leafstar couldn't answer, because I finally found my voice, "You can't do that!"
Rippleblaze sneered at me and said, "And why not?"
I answered with, "Ummm.. A-yes! Amberflame sent me here to fulfil a prophecy!"
At that, Rippleblaze stumbled back and said, "Amberflame sent you? Err… ummm…. did she say anything else?"
"I think she did. She told me told tell someone named Snaketalon that she missed him and that she will always be with him," I said. I knew that Pan, or Amberflame, told me to say that to Rippleblaze, but I knew for a fact that Amberflame and Snaketalon once liked eachother, making Rippleblaze jealous of his brother. (Snaketalon and Rippleblaze are brothers.)
When I said that, his ears went down and he fixed his composure, but jealousy and sadness were now in his eyes.
"Just kidding. She told me to tell that to someone named Rippleblaze, which I guess is you," I told the dark brown furred tom.
His eyes brightened, and he said, "Okay, Leafstar, we can take her in!"
Leafstar and Hawkwing nodded, happy with what the cat they just found said. They walked back to their camp with the she-cat and asked her question and told her a bit about clan life.
"Okay, little one. My name is Leafstar. The one you just talked to is Rippleblaze and the grey one is Hawkwing. You are about to join SkyClan, if you want to, that is. We live around a lake where there is five clans.
"The first clan is ThunderClan, the next is ShadowClan, then there is RiverClan and WindClan. We are in SkyClan, the fifth clan. We mostly hunt birds, but we eat other prey, too. I am the leader and the deputy is Hawkwing. Now, it's time for questions. I'll ask you some questions, and you can ask me some questions."
"So, how old are you?" Leafstar asked me.
"I turn six moons old today," I answered. It wasn't a lie, either. It was my birthday today, but nobody acknowledged it. Most people ignore me, except for teachers and Pan, but not even she gave me a 'Happy Birthday'
"Then we'll have to give you a mentor today. Rippleblaze's kits are going to become apprentices today, too."
"So it is real? I mean, clan life?" I asked myself quietly, but Leafstar heard me and nodded.
"Oh goodness. I swear that I will never, ever fall asleep in church ever again! Oh no… I'm so, so, so sorry, mother!" I started rolling on the floor, hoping to get back to the real world.
Leafstar, Rippleblaze, and Hawkwing looked at me weirdly, but it was Leafstar who said, "Oh, I get it! Life with twolegs is getting to her! You see, Rippleblaze, we're rescuing her!"
I stopped rolling on the floor and said, "Where are we going?"
This time, Hawkwing answered and said, "To the SkyClan camp. What's your name?"
"My name is Wolf," I said, lying. I mean, it's not that I didn't like my real name, I just wanted my warrior name prefix to be 'Wolf'.
Hawkwing nodded and allowed Leafstar to explain clan life to me.
"In the clans, there is five ranks. Three ranks for a warriors. I am on the top rank, leader. The fourth is deputy, third is warrior, second is apprentice-" she stopped speaking because I interuppted her.
"And first is kit. There is also a medicine cat and a medicine cat apprentice. There is a nursery for expecting queens and kits. An apprentice den for the apprentices, a warrior den for warriors, a medicine den for medicine cats, and injured and/or sick cats, and a leader den for the leader," I said. A few seconds later, I realized what I just did. I pulled my ears back in an embarrassed manner, but you really can't blame me. It just came naturally since I knew all about the clans and clan life.
Rippleblaze stared at me with narrowed eyes and said, "How do you know that?"
Thinking very quickly with all the gears in my head turning, I said, "Amberflame told me about clan life!" And hastily added, "She visited me in my dreams yesterday and told me about the clans, their history, and all the cats. She said many good things about you, Rippleblaze!" I finished happily.
I could tell that he wasn't convinced at first, but at the mention of Amberflame, he softened up. So, we continued our journey back to the camp. We arrived after a few minutes of walking and Leafstar told me to go to some kids my age. I was about to ise my real name and shake their hand, b it then I remembered: I'm a cat. I don't have hands and I am not Farah Larkin Harthorn. I introduced myself as Wolf and they also introduced themselves.
There was four cats. The first one I saw was a pretty she-cat. She was a light brown tabby cat with yellow eyes who was kind and introduced herself as Softkit. Then, there was another she-cat who was called Gingerkit. Like her name, she was a ginger she-cat with emerald green eyes. Gingerkit, however, was not nice, but very presumptuous.
Next, there were two toms. One was called Stormkit and the other Slatekit. Stormkit took after his father, with dark brown fur and yellow eyes. Slatekit looked more like his mother, Amberflame, with pure white fur, but he had his father's eyes (yellow) with a hint of his mother's (blue). In case you hadn't guessed yet, the father of the kits is Rippleblaze. Well, Gingerkit was the daughter of Sagenose and Blossomheart.
Suddenly, Leafstar called a meeting. Everybody went to the middle of the clearing, including me and the kits. She called the kits up and gave them their names and mentors.
"Gingerkit, Softkit, Stormkit, and Slatekit, please come up. Today is a proud day for SkyClan. By naming apprentices, we show that SkyClan will survive and remain strong. Gingerkit, from now on until you recieve your warrior name, you will be known as Gingerpaw. Rippleblaze, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be Gingerpaw's mentor. I know that you will pass on your strength to Gingerpaw, and teach her the skills that will make her a brave warrior of SkyClan.
"Softkit, from now on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Softpaw. Snaketalon, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be Softpaw's mentor. I know that you will pass on your wisdom to Softpaw, and teach her the skills that will make her a brave warrior of SkyClan.
"Stormkit, from now on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Stormpaw. Violetshine, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be Stormpaw's mentor. I know that you will pass on your honesty to Stormpaw, and teach him the skills that will make him a brave warrior of SkyClan.
"Slatekit, from now on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Slatepaw. Twigbranch, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be Slatepaw's mentor. I know that you will pass on your skills to Slatepaw, and teach him the skills that will make him a brave warrior of SkyClan.
"Now, before you start cheering, I have another announcement. While I was on patrol today, I saw a six moon old kit. Since we need clammates, I decided to take her in. Today, she will also get a mentor. Wolf, from now on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Wolfpaw. I will be her mentor, and I will pass on my skills and hope to her that will make her a brave warrior of SkyClan. Everyone is dismissed!" Leafstar said. Everybody cheered and parted ways.
Leafstar called me to her and told me what we would do. However, it was really late, so the new apprentices and I went to sleep in the apprentice den
Hello! I hope you liked my new story! I'm going to clear some confusing things up. So, we'll start. Rippleblaze has a brother (Snaketalon) and his mate was Amberflame. Amberflame 'died' while giving birth to her three kits: Softpaw, Slatepaw, and Stormpaw. Amberflame is actually Pandora 'Pan' Halkius. Gingerpaw is the daughter of Sagenose and Blossomheart, NOT Rippleblaze. Oh, and Twigbranch is Twigpaw from A Vision of Shadows, but I would have liked it if she stayed in SkyClan with her father, so I made her stay with SkyClan. Violetshine is Violetpaw, Twigbranch's sister. I think that that's all I wanted to say... Anyway, this chapter is 2,504 words long, 13,404 characters long, and 11,036 letters long (excluding spaces). A.A.-R.P. out!
