Warriors TDI Style
My first story. More info 'bout story at the bottom.
Chapter 1: Prologue
It was a cold, clear night. Stars twinkled softly around the full moon, that brightly shone in the sky. An old gray she-cat lay in an old cardboard box in dark alley sleeping softly. There was a soft patter of paw-steps before two scrawny kittens pounced on the she-cat.
"Mama! Mama, wake up!" one black and white kit squealed.
"Yeah, come on Spine! Tell us a story!" the other gray kit pleaded. The old she-cat, known as Spine, pushed herself into a sitting position.
"Alright alright, what story do you want to hear?" Spine asked bitterly, annoyed because she had been woken up. "Tell us about how Scourge became leader of Bloodclan!" the black and white kit meowed happily. "Oh, come on Swift! We've heard that story a thousand times!" the gray kit hissed at his sister "Tell us about the time when Bone fought off those dogs singled paw-ed!" "But Storm!" Swift whined "I hate that story!" "Hush now! Both of you!" Spine growled " How 'bout I tell you about how Slash came to Bloodclan?" "Yeah!" both kits squealed. "Alright, you may know that Slash's original name was Courtney and that she showed up at our borders cold and hungry," Spine began " And as you know, we don't treat trespassers well,"
"Yeah! No one invades our territory!" Storm cheered leaping to his tiny paws. A cold look from Spine made him settle back down. "Anyway, when Scourge sent his warriors on her, she, even in her weakened state, fought back," Spine paused and took a breath "And she managed to fight off three of Scourge's best warriors before he called a halt." Spine stopped and looked at the kits "And do you know why he did that?" she asked gazing at the two kittens. Both shook their heads. "Because Scourge saw potential in that little she-cat, she had skill and a cold fire in her that was fueled by past hatred and betrayal." Spine meowed "And she quickly earned her place here and took on the name Slash, Courtney and her old life forgotten," The old she-cat huffed and continued with the kits looking at her with huge eyes " And now, cats say that she can sneak through the night more silent than a shadow, give a battle cry so fierce it could send an entire army running for their lives, and go without food for months on end!" Spine straightened up and watched her kits. "Wow! I wanna be just like Slash!" Swift squeaked with excitement. "Ha! I wanna be even better than she is!" Storm meowed boldly puffing out his chest. "Ok kits, time to go to sleep, you have training in the morning." Spine meowed. "Alright Mama." both kits yawned and crawled into the box and quickly fell asleep.
Spine shook her head. She couldn't understand her kits fascination with Slash. She was just a cat, like everyone else. But she couldn't help but wonder what had caused her to be so filled with hatred. What had happened to her when she was Courtney to cause her to be so cold? Who had hurt her? and how? Spine fluffed out her against the cold and curled up. She guessed that if she was meant to know what happened to that poor cat, she would find out sooner or later. Spine closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, wondering about Slash and what that poor she-cat went through.
A.N: Like it? Hate it? I am a terrible author but I thought I'd give this a shot. This is basically what I think would happen to Courtney after TDWT if she and everyone else were cats. I have a weird imagination. So let me know if you want me to continue. It will be in mostly Courtney's POV but maybe a few others. Anyway, Review.
