Hello people! I was bored, so I started typing. It ended up being a warriors story. Wow, I never would've thought that that would've happened! But anyway, thank you to anyone who is reading this. I have decided to keep this a normal story, for anyone who may still think that it is an extra, well, it's not anymore! XD
Disclaimer! I own nothing warriors! I don't own RiverClan, StarClan, or any other clan listed in this chapter! But I do own my cats, like Pebblepaw! So here it is, my new writer's block story, Pebblepaw to Pebblestar, CaveClan is Born!
Pebblepaw was just a normal apprentice, hunting for the clan, getting in border fights, and just living clan life. It seemed that nothing was special about the light gray she cat. But her brother, Cloudpaw, had a prophecy about him. On the day the cloud turns to a storm, rivals will be chased away, and the clans will remain in peace for moons. Everyone thought that Cloudpaw was the special one, always. Pebblepaw was just . . . there. A cat with a life of no particular importance. Like most cats at the lake.
Pebbleapw's mentor was a cat named Fishinglark. He was a bad-tempered tomcat with black fur that stood out on end all of the time, like a thistle. He was always complaining that Pebblepaw was never listening and that she would make a terrible warrior. I'll show him! Pebblepaw always thought, I'll get it next time.
Cloudpaw, though, got the deputy, Nighttalon, for his mentor. Ever since he was born, he was praised as cats thought of the peace that his prophecy promised. So he got to hunt, border patrol and practice fight more than any other apprentice. He never had to search the elders' pelts for ticks; he never has even touched mouse bile before. He was the one with all of the luck, or at least that's how Pebblepaw saw it. She was jealous of her own brother.
"Pebblepaw, come on!" Fishinglark meowed impatiently. He was taking her around on a hunting mission, and he was running the whole way.
"I'm coming!" Pebblepaw hissed. She had short legs for a cat that was eight moons old, so she had a harder time running the same distances that other cats could. Pebblepaw jumped over a tree that had fallen from a storm three moonrises earlier. Moss had started to clump around the edges of the fallen tree. Pebblepaw tripped over one of the roots, hidden by some leaves. "Oof!"
"Pebblepaw, what is your problem?" Fishinglark hissed, stopping three tree lengths ahead, flicking his tail impatiently. "Why can't you be more like Cloudpaw, your brother?"
Why can't I be more like Cloudpaw? Why does he even ask me this! I don't care if I don't get a prophecy! One in every hundred cats actually gets one, so why should it have been me? Pebblepaw got up, wiping the mud from her face. Then she growled, "I said that I was coming!"
"Not my problem if you can't keep up on a simple hunting mission," Fishinglark meowed as he continued racing along the path.
Hmph! Pebblepaw followed as best as she could over to the river where RiverClan hunted. She leaned over the stream, careful not to let her shadow fall into the water. She watched the fish swim, imagining where the fish would be when she swiped. Once she saw a decent sized fish, she swiped at it, scattering drops of water that lit up in the sunlight. Next to her, the fish landed, gasping for breath. She quickly bit down on the fish, the killing bite. Thank you, StarClan!
"Pebblepaw, stop messing around!" Fishinglark hissed at his apprentice. He was carrying a fish, only a little smaller than the one that she had just caught.
"What do you mean?" Pebblepaw asked, trying to sound innocent, "I already caught a fish, bigger than yours!"
"Why you! Don't disrespect your mentor! Or . . . or you'll be sorry!" Fishinglark hissed at Pebblepaw through gritted teeth.
"You don't scare me!" Pebblepaw hissed, grabbing her fish and running off into the lush undergrowth. I'll show him! I'll be the greatest apprentice ever!
Pebblepaw raced over towards another river in the territory, ignoring Fishinglark's loud hisses, telling her to come back. As if! Pebblepaw quickly caught two more fish, all of them bigger then her first. She spotted another fish, almost as big as herself. I'll show him! Pebblepaw pounced into the water, after imagining where the fish would swim. As she suspected, the fish tried to get away, and swam right beneath her paws! She tore the fish out of the water and sent it flying onto the land next to the river. Then she followed it out. Biting it, she sent another thanks to StarClan. This should show him who's going to be a terrible warrior! Pebblepaw headed back towards RiverClan camp, thinking about how much trouble she would get in for leaving her mentor, and ignoring him.
"Pebblepaw!" A cat called loudly and sternly from the top of a rock. Oh great, Fishstar knows about it! Stupid Fishinglark . . . stupid Fishinglark!
Pebblepaw padded over to Fishstar after dropping her four fish on the fresh kill pile. "Coming!" Pebblepaw called. She jumped up on top of the rock and followed Fishstar into his den.
"Pebblepaw, why did you leave your mentor and ignore him when he was calling to you?" Fishstar sighed.
"Because," Pebblepaw meowed, intent on telling Fishstar the real story, after she had seen Fishinglark smiling at her, almost evilly, "It's because he asked me what my problem was when I tripped over a root, and complained when I couldn't catch up to his running because of my short legs. And then he told me not to mess around when I caught a fish that was bigger than the one that he caught. After that, he threatened me 'not to mess with my mentor, or I would be sorry'. After he threatened me, I ran off and caught three more fish, all bigger than the first one. One of them is almost as big as me."
Fishstar and Fishinglark stared at Pebblepaw for a moment, before exchanging a look.
Fishstar broke the silence, "I-is that true, Fishinglark?"
Fishinglark's eyes glittered with satisfaction. "Well actually, no, what she said isn't true." Fishinglark smiled. "But I will tell you the truth."
"Oh, great." Pebblepaw hissed under her breath.
"It all started out somewhat like Pebblepaw had said. She did end up tripping over a root, and when I asked if she was okay, she hissed at me! And then I told her that we were going to be hunting at the WindClan border, and she growled, 'I know that already,' even though I hadn't told her. Then when I asked her how the fishing was, she meowed mockingly 'I already caught a fish, bigger than yours. And I thought you were supposed to be the great hunter, 'o wise mentor.' I told her not to disrespect her mentor, and she stormed off. Then she took the fish from where I had hidden them, I saw her!" Fishinglark meowed, acting like he had been telling the truth. He smiled when he saw Fishstar considering what he had been saying, trying to find the truth.
"Fishinglark, go check on Mousefall. She was asking for you earlier." Fishstar meowed.
Fishinglark, dipping his head, padded over to the nursery to see his mate.
Turning back to Pebblepaw, Fishstar meowed, "Is that the truth? What Fishinglark told me? Or did you tell me the truth?"
"I told you the truth!" Pebblepaw mewed. "I wouldn't disrespect Fishinglark like that, and he was being mean to me! He always calls me worthless and says that I'd make a terrible warrior!"
Fishstar sighed. "I trust you." Fishstar padded over to the back of the den. "Why did Cloudpaw have to have a prophecy about him? Why . . . why couldn't it have been you?"
Pebblepaw gasped. Her leader thought that she was special, that she deserved her own prophecy! "I . . . I don't know what to say," Pebblepaw murmured. "T-thank you, for thinking that I am special."
