Yay! My second Fanfic! This one is just a bunch of random ideas of mine that I stuck together, and each idea is one chapter. Some are funny, and some probably aren't, but all of them are fun to write. ^-^ Every part in this chapter is basically an extremely short story of some cats fainting. I hope you enjoy. ^-^
A/N: If you read my other fanfiction, you know about the 'face of the chapter'. Well, in this one, there will be a riddle at the beginning of every chapter, and it has to do with what's inside the chapter. By the end the chapter I want you to figure out what the answer is, but you don't have to unless you want to.
I am the one who can make you freeze,
And fall to the ground on your knees;
I can make you lose your senses,
And stare with unblinking eyes.
You fall to the ground because of me,
When a clanmate dies.
What am I?
That's this chapter's riddle! I'll give you just one hint of what it isn't: grief.
WARNING!: The following chapter contains spoilers for anyone who has not read beyond series 1, and may contain other spoilers as well, so I would advise reading all the books before Dawn of the Clans before reading this chapter. Also, if you read this chapter, you will see some things changed around a bit, so they're not the same as in the books.
Chapter one:
At What Times Would Clan Cats Faint, If They Ever Fainted At All?
Sometime right after Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jayfeather, opened their eyes:
Squirrelflight padded to the medicine den. "Leafpool, are you in there?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"It's about the kits."
There was silence in the den for a moment, then Leafpool said, "Okay, come in to the back of the den." There was a note of anxiety in her voice.
Squirrelflight padded to the back of the den, and settled down in front of Leafpool.
"So, what is it? Are the kits okay?"
"Well, Jaykit's blind, but other than that, they're strong and healthy, just like any other kits."
A look of mixed shock and horror came across Leafpool's face. "One of them is… blind?" Then she fainted…
...And Squirrelflight panicked. "Leafpool! Are you alright? What's wrong? Why did you faint? I'll go and get help!" But before she could, she fainted too.
A few moons after that, in the Power of Three:
Lionkit, Hollykit, and Jaykit ran for their lives. They were a few fox-lengths from the edge of hollow… almost there… Hollykit and Lionkit skidded to a stop. They turned, and saw Jaykit still running. "Jaykit! Sto-" But they were too late. Jaykit ran straight over the edge.
Hollykit and Lionkit gasped in unison, and ran to the edge. They looked over it, and saw Jaykit lying motionless on the ground.
They fainted.
Several moons after That:
"We've got such a big destiny!" Hollypaw gasped. "I… just… can't… take it!" And she fainted.
Lionpaw snorted. "She-cats!"
Sometime way before that, in the first series:
Fireheart stared. "So, you're meeting a RiverClan she-cat."
"Yes."
Fireheart fainted.
Graystripe turned to Silverstream. "Sorry, I have to go. Someone has to drag him back to camp," he said, flicking his tail toward Fireheart.
"It's okay." She licked him on the ear. "I'll see you tomorrow night." Then she swiftly ran off.
Graystripe sighed, picked up Fireheart, and carefully dragged him back to camp.
When he finally got to camp, the tunnel guard asked him why Fireheart was unconscious. He replied with the first answer that came to his mind. "We decided to try night hunting, and he fainted from shock when he missed a sleeping squirrel." Then he padded away, while the guard muttered, "Faint kittypet."
By sunhigh the next day, the story that Fireheart had fainted because of he missed a sleeping squirrel was well known around the camp, and he was extremely humiliated. But he did not reveal his friend's secret.
And back to the Power of Three, that time when they visited the Tribe of Rushing Water:
Jaypaw let out a deep breath. He had to do this. He bunched his muscles in preparation to spring, and jumped. But he didn't feel his feet hit the hard stone. Instead, he felt the air rushing past him as he fell down, down, down, to the bottom of the crack, where he felt nothing for the rest of his life. Because he no longer had a life.
All the cats above fainted.
Ahh… and that time where Bluestar died:
Fireheart watched as his leader fell down, down, down, with the lead dog.
Everyone fainted.
And when Brightheart hurt her eye…:
When Brightheart entered the camp, she looked up from the ground. Several cats fainted, including Cloudpaw.
Fox-dung.
And when that tree fell into camp…:
Jayfeather checked to see if Longtail was alive, then shook his head. Mousefur let out a distressed wail, then fainted.
Jayfeather moved to Briarpaw, and soon announced that her spine was broken. Her mother let out the second distressed wail, and fainted too.
And when Rusty joined:
"Nooooo!" Longtail wailed. "My ear!" He fell to the ground.
Rusty stared in shock. "D-did I kill him?"
"No," said Bluestar. "He fainted."
Rusty had to hold back laughter.
When Firepaw overheard Tigerclaw talking to Longtail and Darkstripe about Ravenpaw 'betraying' ThunderClan:
"...ShadowClan, so he must be punished!"
What? thought Firepaw, Ravenpaw would never betray ThunderClan… Tigerclaw must be lying! I'll go and tell Graypaw and Ravenpaw right away. So he walked off and found the two apprentices. When he told them what he had overheard…
...they both fainted
When Tigerclaw killed Redtail:
"At last, Redtail is out of the way, and I will become deputy!" Tigerclaw fainted from happiness.
And when Spottedleaf died:
"Spottedleaf is...dead?" Both Bluestar and Firepaw fainted.
When Jaypaw first saw Rock:
Jaypaw stared at the cat before him.
"You look so…" He paused. He didn't want to offend this cat, but he just couldn't help it. "...disgusting!" Then He fainted from shock at the sight of the 'disgusting' cat.
When Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jayfeather found out that Squirrelflight wasn't their mother:
All three of them stared in shock.
Then they fainted, and fell into the burning camp.
When Cinderpaw's leg was injured:
Fireheart stared at his apprentice in shock. "Is she going to be alright?"
"She'll live. But her leg won't."
Fireheart fainted.
Yellowfang snorted. "Toms."
When Hollyleaf killed Ashfur:
Hollyleaf stared in shock at her work. "I… killed him?"
She fainted, and fell into the river.
When Dovepaw found out Ivypaw was training in the Dark Forest:
"So… you're training in the Dark Forest."
"Yep."
Dovepaw fainted.
When Cinderheart found out about the prophecy Lionblaze was in:
"You've got such a big destiny… I'm nothing… I'm sorry, Lionblaze I can't be with you!" Cinderheart ran away.
Lionblaze stood frozen in shock for a moment, then he fell down unconscious.
When Firestar announced that they had to leave the forest:
"We must leave the forest in order to survive!"
There was a moment of utter silence, then all the cats fainted…
...and were caught by twolegs.
When Feathertail died:
…Both Feathertail and Sharptooth were dead.
All the clan cats there fainted.
When Tawnypaw moved to ShadowClan:
Tawnypaw took a deep breath. "I'm going to live in ShadowClan."
All of ThunderClan fainted.
When Flametail died:
"Flametail is dead."
All of ShadowClan fainted.
When Russetfur died:
Blackstar stared at his deputy's dead body in shock.
Then he fainted.
"Blackstar! Are you alright?"
When Tigerclaw became leader of ShadowClan:
"Yes, I am now leader of ShadowClan."
Everyone but ShadowClan fainted.
"Well, I guess the gathering's over now. ShadowClan, back to camp."
When Runningnose was a kit:
"Help! His nose won't stop running! I think he's sick!" His mother cried. Then she fainted.
Therefore, he was named Runningnose.
When Tallstar died:
"He's… dead?" Both Fireheart and Onewhisker fainted.
When Silverstream died:
"Noooo! Silverstream, come back!" Graystripe howled. Then he fainted.
When Bluestar received the news that Tigerclaw killed Oakheart:
"You… killed… him?" Bluestar fainted.
"What's up with her?"
When Leafpool found out Mothwing didn't believe in StarClan:
"You… don't believe in StarClan?"
"Yep. I just think they're a bunch of dead cats."
Leafpool fainted.
When Stormfur decided to stay in the mountains:
"You're staying here? Just leaving your clan? But you're such a great warrior! You should should stay with us!"
"I'm happy here, with Brook. I'm staying here."
The RiverClan cats fainted.
When Hawkfrost died:
"I can't believe I did this! There's so much blood… the lake is so red….
Firestar fainted from shock.
So that was it! Let me know what you think in the reviews, and if you did the riddle, let me know what you think the answer is to that. Another hint is that it's mentioned a lot in this chapter.
I hope Lionpaw didn't offend anyone ^-^
