Riverclan- Palepuddle
Palepuddle walked over to a small stream that crossed through their territory. She tried to catch some fish, but found that she couldn't. Probably because of the kits. She stood up and kept on walking, until she came to a sunny area. She stretched and savored the sun on her fur. Suddenly she heard a rustling sound coming from some bushes. She sat upright and her fur stood on end. The cat smelled strange… almost like death. She saw two yellow eyes and then the cat was gone. She smelled the air and realized that there must have been at least eight cats here. Palepuddle forced her fur to lie flat, and ran back to camp. She needed to report this to Splashstar.
Riverclan- Fishpaw, Florapaw, Leafbright, Oddrunner, and someone else.
Darkstorm was awake and ordering another patrol together. Another patrol… all I want to do is sleep… Why doesn't Darkstorm go on a patrol himself… Fishpaw forced himself to get up and walk out of the apprentice den. Florapaw was coming to, so at least a friend would be there. Suddenly Palepuddle burst into the camp.
"I need to speak to Splashstar." She says, gasping for breath. Darkstorm walked forward.
"Splashstar is on a patrol. What happened?" Darkstorm asks calmly.
"I was out on a walk… and I saw a cat, it didn't smell like any of the clans but-" She was interrupted by a furious Darkstorm.
"You interrupted me for this? One rogue?" He growls.
"No," Palepuddle goes on, unfazed by Darkstorms outburst. "I saw one, but I smelled at least eight." Fishpaw was frozen in fear. Eight cats? Are we going to have to fight them? What if we lose… what is I die? Florapaw seemed to see her friends discomfort.
"You'll be alright." She told him. "Lets go on that patrol, alright? And if anything happens," Fishpaw expected her to say something like, we'll fight them off, but instead she said teasingly, "We'll run away with fear because of their awful stench!" Fishpaw couldn't help but giggle, and he felt a little better.
Oddrunner walked up to them and smiled. "Come on, those rogues won't hurt us. Leafbright will be training you Fishpaw, since your mentor is going to be kitting soon." Fishpaw and Florapaw nodded. They followed him out of the camp.
"Can you smell anything Florapaw?" Oddrunner asks.
She flashes him a toothy grin. "Fish. Lots of Fish." Leafbright pads forward.
"Thats an unusually strong smell for fish…" She remarks.
"Will we investigate?" Fishpaw asks shakily.
"Yes. I think we will." Leafbright and Oddrunner reply in unison.
The four cats walk/swim forward until they reach the location that the fish smell is coming from. A small cat is there, fishing. She has a rather large pile of fish beside her.
"Oh my…" Leafbright says, staring at the small she-cat. The small she-cat looked up, tears in her eyes. Oddrunner tastes the air.
"Are you Shadowclan? You're trespassing on Riverclan territory!" Oddrunner says fiercely.
"I used to be…" The little cat, no older than an apprentice says sadly. Leafbright softens."What's your name? What happened? Did they throw you out?" Leafbright says kindly.
The cat looks at Leafbright. "I'm Fawnpaw, and no, ShadowClan would never throw me out. I left... something happened and it messed up everything. I think my friends hate me now, and nobody trusts me anymore."
Fishpaw curiously looks at her. "Did you catch all those fish?"
"Yeah, did you?" Florapaw asks.
"Yes, I did." Fawnpaw responds proudly, and she almost smiles.
"Would you like to stay with Riverclan for a little bit? I'm sure Splashstar would welcome such a natural fish hunter." Leafbright tells her.
"Could I? I think it would be nice to stay with a clan for a bit." Fawnpaw replies.
Leafbright laughs. "Of course. Follow me."
So, please tell me your answers to these questions… what do you think of Fawnpaw? Will she stay in Riverclan? And who were the eight cats?
I will be writing another book called Fawnpaw's story, where you'll be able to learn about her past, and possibly her future there.
Please review, and as always, I hope you liked the story! :D
