Woo! I finally got off my lazy butt and wrote it! :D
Before anything, I want to say that some things in the story has to do with Warriors, so:
©Erin Hunter owns Warriors. I own story, character, territory, pack, anddd ONE DIRECTION! (not really (x )©
Oh, that copyright symbol? Alt + G :3. And to XxSoulessBeautyxX:
Thanks for the review! I liked your story; I needed some references to see how bad my story is ;)
Yay! Chapter one! Still working on the story though; my friend, Xena, is Role Playing with me, so we're working on other Role Playing stories! :D I'll try to put some into stories here.
R&R!
Moon woke with a sigh, feeling her nephews jumping on her tail. She brought her silver tail close to her body and rolled onto her back, blinking.
Raven, a jet-black male wolf, trotted in with, ironically, a raven clamped in his jaws. Moon was confused. Raven didn't have a mate, and wasn't a very romantically social wolf. Moon sat up, licking down a tuft of fur on her thigh.
Raven dropped the Raven by Moon and smiles. Moon looked at him blankly, them nodded slightly. She carefully bit into the juicy, delicious meat, while Raven turned and trotted back to the warrior den. Moon watched him, confusion lighting her gaze, before focusing again on her meal.
After she finished and licked her lips, Moon laid back down on her nest. Her brothers' mates, Emerald and Cherry, had pups that were just beginning their play-fight adventures. Moon watched Cherry's pups, Thistle and Bracken, as they tumbled playfully around Emerald's three pups, Storm, Red, and Mist, who were learning about the den. Moon began to wonder what her pups would be like.
Mist was practicing a hunting crouch that Fire, one of Moon's youngest siblings, had taught her. Red and Storm attempted to copy, but Red pounced on Storm, and they tumbled into Thistle and Bracken. The four began to tumble about, attempting victory against the other three. Mist just watched in amusement. Moon felt a certain liking for the young pup.
Tanil, Rain's mate and Moon's mother as well as her siblings, was supposed to leave the den once Fire, Snow, and Eclipse received mentors and moved to the apprentice den for the two month period of training.
Moon suddenly remembered that their naming ceremony would be today. She spotted Rain trotting out of the cave under High Ledge. She watched is silence as he hopped onto High Ledge and called a meeting.
"Let all wolves old enough to hunt join under High Ledge for a pack meeting!" With those words, Moon stood, stretched, and walked through the semi-oval entrance to the warrior den. Everyone had gathered, but Moon stayed with the other nursery queens by the entrance.
"Fire, Snow, Eclipse. Come forward." Rain called to his pups with a deep voice. The three one-year-old wolves came forward and sat in a line below High Ledge.
"Fire," Rain called. The ginger tom stepped forward and sat down. "Fire, do you promise to protect and defend your pack members and territory over your own life?" Fire nodded. "Then I name you as our very first apprentice." Moon remembered that this ceremony was established into pack life only a moon ago.
"Cinder." Rain called to the pack deputy. Cinder departed from the group and sat down in front of High Ledge. "I have put my entire trust into you with naming you as my deputy, and I trust you to pass on your judgment and your skills to Fire." Cinder dipped her head with respect.
Fire touched noses with Cinder, and they joined the crowd to watch Snow and Eclipse's ceremony.
Rain did the same with Eclipse and Snow. Lion, Moon's older brother, was assigned mentor to Snow and Feather to Eclipse.
The meeting broke, and Moon walked back to the nursery with the nursery queens. She barely got across the Entrance Den, where elk and fresh kill was piled and where the only entrance to the den was located, when Raven came up behind her.
"I wondered if you wanted to go hunting in Tall Grasses?" He said, sitting down to pick up a rabbit from the fresh-kill pile. Moon sighed, then agreed.
Raven finished his food within a few bites. The pair set off towards the field. Moon realized that she didn't remember this place before. The ground was covered with large strands of light brown grass, as tall as Raven and Moon combined.
Raven slithered in, followed by Moon. They trotted through the grasses, sniffing along the ground for any prey. Moon scented a rabbit heartbeats before it dashed in front of her nose.
Moon chased after the rabbit with strength bursting with each paw step. Moon maneuvered after the scent, dodging large rocks and eventually jumping over snakes. Raven pounded after her, not quite able to catch up.
The rabbit turned sharply, and Moon pounced on it's small body, killing it quickly with a bite to the neck. She lifted her head and realized the rabbit led her to a clearing.
A sour scent hit her nose. Raven arrived, panting, at her side. He had obviously scented it too, for he lifted his nose in alarm.
The grasses parted in front of them, and 7 stocky boars emerged, staring hungrily at the pair.
Cliffhanger! :O
Will Raven protect Moon?
Will Moon lose her pups (oh ya, she's preggers X) )?
Will I get better at this stuff?
Find out in the next chapter!
R&R!
