First chapter with 'What if?'
Crowpaw is the main character in this chapter. I forgot how he told them he wasn't afraid of joining StarClan, so I think its when he swept onto the thunderpath nearly getting crushed by a monster.
What if Crowpaw died on that thunderpath?
--
His black-gray pelt was a silvery color within' the moon's bright beams of light. A rumble sounded nearby, and he crept closer, seeing a monster flash by with twolegsin it's belly. He heard screaming in the distance, turning to see, it was his friends he went with during the first journey, and his leader and mother, Tallstar and Ashfoot.
"Crowpaw! Please don't!" Squirrelpaw squeakedin terror for her WindClan friend, who was carelesslypadding towards the coal black ground, that was a gaint straight rock that sometimes curved.
"I'm not afraid to join StarClan!" He snarled, his blue eyes flashing. "At least in StarClan, Feathertail is waiting for me!"
Brambleclaw, a dark brown tabby tom, flexed his claws into the ground, "You're mouse-brained! Why would you die than save the cats you love?" His tail lashed in anger, and stepped forward, ready to pounce on the small, WindClan tom from killing himself.
"Crowpaw!" His mother screeched loudly, that it could shake a forest to it's roots. She looked at the thunderpath he was nearing, and she scented a small scrap, "Crowpaw, Mosskit is on thunderpath!"
Mosskit, Morningflower's kit, who was a WindClan kit, was crawling around and squealing in hunger. A group of monsters were heading to the direction the kit was. Crowpaw shifted down into a runner's crouch, and dashed on the thunderpath.
"Stay and wait for Tallstar," He hissed, knocking the kit far on the other side of the thunderpath. He laid there for a heart beat. He had dislocated his right back leg from the enormous leap.
His leader, Tallstar, dashed forward, but he failed that attempt, and was nearly hit by the monster, only to be whirled around from the wind from it. Focusing his view, he saw the heap of fur, laying there. Dark blood swelled out of the cat's body, and his bones were smashed.
"Crowpaw!" Ashfoot yowled in grief. Her blue eyes, same as her son's, were pools of sadness and confusion. She slumped down to the grassy ground, "First Owlheart, then Eaglekit, now Crowpaw? StarClan, did I anger you?"
"You did nothing wrong. He wouldn't even be able to walk with that leg dislocated," Leafpaw of ThunderClan, mewed soothingly. "He saved a future for a kit, that is all that matters." Turning to her shocked sister, "Go get Mosskit, and bring him back here. Morningflower would be glad seeing her kit is alright and be glad that a apprentice saved him, for his life."
Nodding, the identical daughter of Firestar, dashed across the thunderpath quickly, like a WindClan cat, and grabbing the kit by the scruff and quickly rushed over to the side the patrol was at. She then, dashed out once more into thunderpath, and grabbed the deceased WindClan apprentice by the scruff, and dragged him off the thunderpath.
Ashfoot said nothing, only took the dead tom, and carried him back to where the cats were staying. Blackstar, Firestar, and Leopardstar ran over to them with shocked faces.
"What happened?" Leopardstar asked, her tail tip twitching.
"Crowpaw saved Mosskit from a monster, but due to his dislocation of the his leg, he couldn't move, and the monster crushed him." Brambleclaw explained, his tail rested on Squirrelpaw's shoulder.
"He deserves a warrior name," Tallstar announced, and Ashfoot let the limp body of Crowpaw, be laid in front of him. His amber eyes flashed as he looked at Silverpelt, "I ask my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. He has learned the warrior code and has given up his life in the service of his Clan. Let StarClan receive him as a warrior. He will be known as, Crowwing. He learned to protect his Clan like a cat with wings." He touched his nose to the dead warrior's fur, "May StarClan lead you to safety young one."
Mudclaw, Crowwing's mentor, stared down at his apprentice, "Weak as a kit." He snarled.
Asfoot leaped to her paws, "Mudclaw! Crowwing just died protecting his Clanmate!"
Leafpaw looked at the arguing cats then Crowwing. Her amber eyes shone with grief and love, "We could never be Crowwing."
--
"Welcome Crowwing," A soft voice mummered. He turned to see Feathertail, the cat he loved, in front of him. "Come with me. You can no longer go back to your body."
"Feathertail!" He squealed like a kit, excitedly, and licked her face, rubbing against her muzzle. The RiverClan she-cat purred.
"Follow me beloved," She mewed and led them to StarClan camp.
