I am Dapplepaw, an apprentice of Imagineclan. This is my first challenge. Enjoy!
True Friends
A tan tabby she-cat with blue eyes raced through a green-leaf forest. She twisted and turned around trees. Suddenly, she tripped and fell. She realized she had tripped over a log. She tried to get up but her left paw was in pain. Suddenly, she heard a yowl and a cat had rushed to her side. She looked up to see a brown tom with some long stripes on his back. "Fallenleaf?" she meowed. Fallenleaf was her friend. "Yes, Sunwing. I am here," he meowed. "I will always be there for you," he meowed before picking her up by the scruff. She was heavy and it took a few moments to get her to the camp. As soon as they got there, he let out a loud yowl. Every cat came racing to them. "Sunwing is hurt," he meowed before collapsing with exhaustion. "Fallenleaf," Sunwing meowed before she feinted. What she didn't know was that her hurt paw was bleeding very badly. The clan hauled the two best friends to the medicine cat den.
A week later, Sunwing awoke to see her paw wrapped up in cob-webs. She looked around to see Fallenleaf laying beside of her. "Fallenleaf?" she asked. Suddenly, the memories of the fall came back to her. She gasped. She growled in pain but she heaved herself to her paws and came closer to Fallenleaf. "Fallenleaf," she meowed. He was asleep and very tired. Suddenly, a brown she-cat with blue eyes trotted inside. "Sunwing, get back in your nest! Don't worry about Fallenleaf, he is just asleep," the she-cat meowed. Sunwing quickly lied down. Suddenly she realized that she had a crush on Fallenleaf. Just after that, sleep overcame her.
Fallenleaf awoke to see Sunwing staring at him. "Sunwing, you are alright," he exclaimed. "Because of you," Sunwing meowed. "I have to tell you something," they both said. "Let's say it at the same time," Sunwing suggested. "I love you," they both said. Sunwing smiled as they leaned closer and touched noses. That moment was perfect.
A moon later, Sunwing's leg hadn't healed yet but Fallenleaf still never left her side. Sunwing had fallen for him quickly. The two were in love. Luckily, Sunwing was able to walk. The two went on a walk. Sunwing and Fallenleaf walked side-by-side. Sunwing looked at him, smiling. Sudddnly, she felt that she was falling. "Sunwing," Fallenleaf yowled. He quickly caught her. She realized that she had been falling into a rabbit hole. At that moment she realized that a true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down, sometimes literally. Fallenleaf was that true friend.
Four moons later, Sunwing lie in the nursery. "Are you okay?" Fallenleaf asked. That was the question se was asked every minute. She simply nodded. She curled up and watched as he did the same. Sunwing saw that he had brought her a squirrel. "Thanks," she meowed before eating it. She was getting close to having kits. "What should we name them?" she asked Fallenleaf. "Maybe Leafkit, Wingkit, Lovekit, and Lightkit," he meowed. "Perfect," she purred and leaned on him. Soon, they were watching the sunset together.
The next week, the kits had come. They had named them their original names. Leafkit was a small golden-brown she-kit with blue eyes. Wingkit looked exactly like her mother. Lovekit was a bright brown she-kit with green eyes. Lightkit was a very bright golden-brown she-kit with green eyes. The kits were racing around Sunwing. She laughed when Wingkit tripped over her tail. After a few moments, the kits were tired and were falling down. Sighing, Sunwing lied down and watched them fall asleep. Fallenleaf walked inside and sat beside of her. They touched noses and watched their kits. It was like that moment was perfect. Sunwing now knew that the saying was true; true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
