Hey, reader! Welcome to my collection of one-shots!

These one-shots are original character(or fan character)-centric.

The one-shots could be challenges, rewrites, etc. I own all these characters, but not Warriors, clearly. They'll vary in length, ranging from roughly 500 to 2,500. I intend for most to be in the friendship genre, but some will be romance.

This one, though I've edited it, is the oldest, Love currently(11/27/16) being the newest.

Meteor Shower

It was a warm night; there was soft breeze blowing through the forest. The trees branches waved in the night breeze. The stars shone like spheres of fire, flickering in the dark blue, almost black, summer sky. Grass danced in the loose soil that lay like a carpet on the forest floor. The forest was alive with bugs of all sorts, drawn out by the humid wind that blew through the strong oak trunks.

High in the branches of a massive oak, one of the biggest, sat two still black forms. The bigger of the two shapes twitched a bit, flicking it's ear as if an annoying fly was near. It slowly breathed, its breath stirring the fur near its muzzle ever so softly. Its pale sky blue eyes gazed into the dark night sky, the soft silver glow of the moonlight illuminating its shadow colored pelt a smoky gray.

The cat's black ears shot upright suddenly, its sky blue eyes widening. "It's beautiful," he muttered, his voice soft and calm, no trace of much emotion, yet a hint of awe was hidden deeply in it. The light of the full moon danced in his eyes as he stared up into the endless star speckled void. "I like it," he purred quietly, almost in a whisper.

His companion's forest green eyes turned to him ever so sightly. With a tiny nod of agreement he mewed, "See? I said so." His voice held a joking, light tone. The hint of laughter was in his eyes as he smirked.

The other tomcat gave him annoyed glance. "So you did," he huffed with a flick of his jet black tail. His eyes narrowed a bit, but he didn't seem too irritated by the other feline's comment. He flinched a bit, his eyes narrowing more, as if thinking of a more painful time.

A haze of mist had began to form that moist, humid night. With the reflection of the moon, the mist seemed to be a spirit, wandering the leafy branches, lost in the dark forest's monstrous shadow as they danced under the moon's silver ray. The mist flew like a creek around the two cats as they sat in the tree.

"You remember?" the green eyed tom questioned, his head tilting to the side in puzzlement; he didn't expect the elder tomcat to remember. "You can't forget... that time you promised you'll never leave. Because your my kin," he pouted, a look of sorrow deep in his green eyes. "You promised me," he whined.

"Yeah..." He sighed. "I remember." His gaze dropped down to the ground. "Don't remind me of it." A warning was hidden in his tone.

"Of course." The tom dipped his head. His green eyes followed the other cats gaze. It rested on the swirl of mist. He stared at the space his kin looked at, not really sure of what to do next.

OOOOO

"Now what?" the green eyed tom huffed, his breath slow gasps. His green gaze flickered to the tomcat next to him, also breathing hard after running. His sky blue eyes held a haunted appearance, glazed over and unseeing.

"We-" A bang interrupted him, causing the tom's eyes to widen with fear. A harsh stench blew by in the reek of the city air. Dog. "Run!" he yelped in alarm as the thump of their paws grew louder. He bounded into the air as if he was on fire, his now fluffed up tail streaming out behind him as he attempted to out run his pursuer.

The other toms pale green eyes widened, so much that a thin ring of white was visible. A flash of panic lit his gaze as he whipped around to follow the other tom. A ear-shattering roar filled his ears as he sprinted pass boxes, his eyes locked on to the fleeing feline in front of him.

A tall wall stood towering like a human building, strong and mighty, a unmovable barrier. The two fleeing cats skidded to a sudden halt, waves of pure terror leaping off their shadow colored pelt.

"Please hurry..." a whisper escaped his lips as his paws thumped against the hard, gray, rough stone. The look of despair on his face was so helpless, if cats could cry he'd been crying. A quick glance behind himself told him his blue eyed friend was lagging behind with a small limp. His paws were dragging on the hard path, slowing him down to speeds of which the beast would surely catch up to in the blink of an eye.

He stopped, halting his panic powered sprint and ran to his kin's aid. "Hang on!" he cried, all trace of fear gone as he bounded to his dear friend's side. Another terrifying roar could be heard, even closer than the last and just as angrily.

The other tom sat there, breathing hard, as blood slowly flowed from a wound on his paw pad. Blood dripped onto the ground, staining it a deep crimson color. He flinched in pain, shutting his eyes as if to block out the pain pulsing through his paw. The shimmer of a hard clear glass shard shone in his now blood smeared pad. The blue eyed cat gasped in pain as he sat, shivering, before lifting his head to see his friend as he panted, out of breath.

A gleam of remembrance flashed it his eyes that soon changed to joy. He purred softly, glad to see him. "Why are you here? Y-you should run... Don't worry about me," the blue eyed cat muttered softly, his ears flattening onto his head. His pale blue eyes narrowed, and he turned away, shivering more than before.

A look of determination blazed like a wildfire shone in the green cat's eyes and he spat a reply. "No." His tail swished as he stood there, not moving a mouse length from where he stood. "I wouldn't. Never." Tearing his gaze from his bleeding kin, he growled, "We'll stand and fight or flee together." His questioning face turned to the other feline.

The tomcat rose to his shaky paws, falling on his friend as his paws fell from under him. "We better flee..." he admitted in an annoyed tone. Grunting, he added, "There's no way we can fight it off. Not like this any way." A gleam of concern flicked in his sky colored eyes. The hidden message was clear.' I don't want you to get hurt.'

"Then..." The other cat looked at his companion weary after all that seeming endless running. He sank his teeth lightly into the loose skin on the back of his neck and lifted himself to his tired paws, trying to hurry as the sounds grew closer and louder. His friend tried to walk, weakly limping, in an attempt to lighten the weight. The tom made slow bounds, his paws working hard to drag the other hurt cat the safety, the look in his green eyes making in clear he was only worried about his kin's health, not his own. "Let's go," he muttered, putting a spring in each swift dash to safety.

"Woof! Woof!" a crazed barking noise was heard, followed by a monstrous huge night-black creature that looked like a demon form the underworld. The monster dog galloped after the two cats, in pursuit of prey. It towered over them; they seemed like mice compared to the great sleek pelted black and tan canine. It's paws, each armed with deadly sharp claws each made for killing the prey of the demon hound, slammed on the ground as it drew closer to the duo of cats.

The cats froze, unable to move, until the bigger of the two screamed, "RUN!" This loud yowl of fear snapped the other out of his paralyzed state, causing him to run as if he'd grown wings on his paws. He sprang back, nearly tripping over his own paws, then whipped around, zipping away, the dog hot in pursuit.

The smaller, green eyed tom bound trough the city, the others paws trying to as well, even though in was hard with his cut paw leaving a bloody smear in the ground, as well as a scent trail for their deadly pursuer. The older ones breath was now short gasps as well, each and every breath and struggle. The smaller tomcat continued to race away, nimbly weaving his way through the streets, the harsh summer sun blazing overhead, adding thirst to his growing list of worry's, his dear friend's well being on the very top.

"Come on... save me," the cat softly mumbled, his eyes glazed over as the pain in his fore paw grew. The other didn't respond, keeping his head high as he tried to not drag his now limp friend on the ground. But through the fur in his mouth he muttered, "I will. Now promise me you'll not leave me and die."

His voice sounded afraid, as if he was scared whether or not he'd get an answer. His friend was silent for a heartbeat before replying to his plea.

"I promise," he gasp out, tired. His blue eyes showed his sleepiness. He drifted to a light slumber, his chest rising and falling slowly. His black body went limp in the other cat's jaws. The beast's growl was closer. The other cat turned around, his ears flat on his head, claws out and ready for battle.

The demon dog skidded to a halt, snarling at the duo of cats. It appeared to smirk, as if it thought it'd already won the battle. The look in the green eyed cats eyes burned with fury, ready to dash out and attack.

It growled, taking a step closer. It's cold eyes glared at them hateful. Suddenly it dashed forwards, bounding towards the cats, one of which was unable to fight. The green eyed cat snarled as the great hound leaped into battle.

OOOOO

The blue eyed tom gasped, wrapped his legs around the huge branch, shivering, his eyes wild with fear. His claws dug into the tree, leaving deep marks in the bark as he tried to stay balanced in the branches. He squeaked in alarm as the memory's flood his head. He coughed, gasping out, "I told you not to remind me brot-" He stopped, then mumbled, "Half-brother."

The green eyed tom looked over to his black pelted kin. Well, there was that splash of snow white fur on his chest. "Are you... alright?" he asked, concerned, tearing his gaze away from the dark sky.

The blue eyed tom glanced at him and replied, "Yeah... I'm alright. No need to worry about me." He turned away quickly, focusing his blue gaze on to the stars once more.

The older of the duo sighed softly. He lashed his tail quickly, his eyes narrowing as his looked at the night sky.

"Errr... What is it?" The other, younger one's eyes followed the others. The other feline's ears shot forward, now alert, fur fluffed up. A low growl rose from his throat.

"Shooting star."

"A shooting star?"

"Yes. It's a star... and it's shooting across the sky." He turned his head to the other cat. "It's beautiful... Don't you think so?" He purred.

The other cat tilted his head to the side, wondering why his kin was so... different. "Yeah. It is," he muttered softly. His tail swished, as another shooting star lit up the sky, it's blazing light illuminating his black fur. The star shot past, its blazing silver tail streaming behind it.

The forest seemed to grow still as the stars fell from the sky, their tails leaving a silver path behind them. The leaves glowed a pale green color now that they were lit up with a silver light. The moving lights turned the river that bubbled near by a soft white, as the fishes silver scales reflected the stars.

"Make a wish." The blue eyed tom spoke suddenly, whipping his head around to face his kin. "I've heard you can wish on a shooting star." His head turned quickly back to the black sky.

"Alright?" He muttered and then sighed softly. That cat... By the spirits' name, what is in that cats head. Spider webs? His friend was muttering something under his breath as more stars shot past. Sighing again he muttered his wish.

I wish...

OOOOO

For a moment, he wasn't even sure anything had happened. Everything was the same as before. The night was chilling, the river was a blinding white, and he still had an itch on his ear. He raised his fore paw to his ear, scratching it. He shivered. So? He made a wish, hadn't he?

He turned his eyes to the cat beside him, Raven, his half-brother. Raven sat, mouthing a silent wish.

...

...

...

A change in the air alerted him. It was soft, just a slight change in the sky. The sky changed from that black to a shade of dark violet. His vision changed; the world now had a blue tint and he felt dizzy. He blinked his eyes, trying to clear his vision.

"R-ra..." He gasp. His sight was fading fast. His breath quickened to a faster pace. What's happening? Am... I dying? He thought, the light-headed feeling slowly growing. It's kind of weird... Yet peaceful. I feel sleepy. A sleepy smile appeared on his face.

His vision was clouded with a black fog, and he became deaf to the sounds around him. His paws slipped as a numb feeling filled his body. The sky was covered by a shadow colored cloud and everything went black.

-OOOOO-

Well, that was edgy. R&R!
