WARRIORS: JAYPAW'S QUEST
PT: YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!! Soulja Boy! I've been doing that at school and scaring people. One guy I have a special hate for said I ruined the song. Guess what? When he said it, I cracked up. Many of us spazz out easily. Alright, I thank silverdiamond23 and Iceflight for their reviews. I've got news! I finished Firestar's Quest and Dark River! I can't wait till Outcast comes out! I might put some of that in here, if you know what I mean. If you read those, you might know what I mean. By the way, I was thinking of writing a story full of oneshots on Warriors pairings, if anyone's interested. Unfortunately, I'm having a State Test next week so it might take awhile. Plus, I'm having a bit of writer's block so can anyone make suggestions for this story? Anyway, enjoy!
Previously on Jaypaw's Questxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jaypaw entered the medicine cat's den and followed Leafpool's scent to her nest. Her scent was clear on the bedding; she was still resting on her nest.
"Leafpool?"
This was so unlike her; Leafpool was always up before him.
Jaypaw tried pushing his nose in her fur. It might wake her.
Suddenly, he froze. He felt it…
Jaypaw frantically turned…ran out of the den…into the middle of the clearing…ignoring his kin and clanmates' calls…
And yowled so hard, creatures could hear him from the sun-drown place to Twolegplace.
A tabby rushed desperately around an unfamiliar forest as she tried to get home…
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The tabby recognized this place. She had seen her sister's mate and his half-brother here before. Her fur prickled as she remembered how she had almost been sighted. Yet…
I was moons ago when she had been here. She was so frightened. How will her clan manage without her?
For she had a feeling…of foreboding…she wasn't getting out of here easily…this time.
Leafpool shuddered in the sickly green light shining in the clearing ahead. She had to get out of here. She sniffed something and whipped around, claws unsheathed. Too late, she was bowled down and pinned. Hot, dark fur clouded around her face, choking her. She battered her hind paws and glanced at her attacker, hissing.
Brambleclaw?
As if he read her mind, the dark tabby before her let out a mrrow of laughter. Leafpool stared at the glowing amber eyes (so like Spottedleaf's, but these eyes were scary), the dark tabby fur, the massive muscles rippling in the pale light, the massive head…a V-shaped scar on the nose…
Leafpool gave a gasp of utter horror.
Another tabby, identical except for a pair of ice-blue eyes and a slight, smaller shape appeared, purring.
Tigerstar… Hawkfrost…
For a moment, Leafpool scolded herself for suspecting Brambleclaw again, but this wasn't the right time.
"Welcome Leafpool," Hawkfrost purred.
"Firestar ripped my kin from me. I'll rip his from him," Tigerstar hissed.
Firestar! With a thrill of horror, Leafpool thought of her sick father and tried to get away again. No good.
"Knock her out," Tigerstar commanded his son.
Hawkfrost dipped his head and turned to Leafpool.
Leafpool struggled again…
…as blackness clouded her vision.

"Jaypaw! What's wrong?"
Jaypaw whipped around and although he couldn't see, he could feel most of the Clan heading towards him. They screeched to a halt as they surrounded him.
"Jaypaw?" Squirrelflight licked him around the ears.
Poppypaw worriedly stroked his flank with his tail. Lionpaw held back. Hollypaw pressed against his side. Yet Jaypaw had attention only for his father.
"Jaypaw?" Brambleclaw prompted.
Jaypaw trembled. "Have you heard of the story of how cats can go to sleep and have their souls snatched away at the same time, but the cat is still alive?"
"Yes."
Now Brambleclaw looked even more worried. Jaypaw took a breath.
"It's real. It happened to Leafpool."
Sandstorm gasped and Squirrelflight trembled. Sorreltail was staring at him in shock and disbelief. Jaypaw could feel it.
"It did?" Brambleclaw's voice sounded disbelieving.
"I swear!"
Sorreltail pressed against him. Jaypaw didn't push anyone away.
Squirrelflight was too shocked to meow. Slowly, she padded away into the medicine cat's den.
Jaypaw collapsed and pressed his nose to the ground. He curled up and fell asleep, seeking help from Starclan.
Jaypaw opened his eyes. He could see. He was dreaming. Before him, Moonpool glittered like a thousand stars that had fallen and turned liquid. Jaypaw did the only thing that made sense for him. He bent his head and lapped at the pool.
The effect was instantaneous. Jaypaw shuddered from head to tail-tip. He caught a familiar scent in the breeze.
"Fancy meeting you here," a voice commented dryly.
Yellowfang's orange eyes appeared, followed by her broad face and ragged pelt. Her tail swished behind her.
"What happened to Leafpool? Is she…"
"Tigerstar is keeping her in his skies."
Jaypaw hissed. Tigerstar. He hadn't felt exactly warm towards him, even when they met.
"So how do I get Leafpool back?" he mewed.
"You must get Crowfeather and enter her dreams with him." Yellowfang meowed.
"Crowfeather? But why?" Jaypaw had always felt that there was something between the two.
"You'll find out when Leafpool and Crowfeather are willing to tell you."
Yellowfang started to fade away.
"No! Wait!"
Jaypaw's yowl died in his throat and Yellowfang's voice echoed for one last time.
"Leaf and crow…"
