I don't own Warriors.

Sunnypelt - Thank you, for the condolences and the plushie. *gives you cheese* And who says there won't be both Fang x Wing and Fang x Owl? Though I doubt it. But trust me, I know what will happen and I think you will like it.


When we returned to camp, every cat was awake, asking questions.

"What happened?"

"Did ThunderClan cause trouble again?"

"Did RiverClan and ShadowClan pick sides?"

Swiftstar leapt onto the Tallrock. "Cats of WindClan, tonight Sparrowwing of ThunderClan tried to attack Honeypaw. Rainstorm of RiverClan stopped him just in time." Gasps of shock and anger met his words.

"We must fight ThunderClan!" Airfur rasped.

Lightningblaze put in, "But we aren't strong enough. We're starving from the drought and it's ThunderClan's fault!"

Swiftstar lashed his tail. "Silence! We will not attack yet. Last time we did Owlpelt got badly hurt. We will wait until the drought is over before we attack. Everyone, return to your nests. Ravencall, set the dawn patrol for tomorrow."

I yawned widely, exhausted from all the activity. Before I could go to the apprentices' den, Ravencall padded up to me. "Fangpaw, will you go on the dawn patrol with Snake-eyes, Hareleap, and Robinpaw?"

"Sure. Why not?"

Ravencall licked my ear. "Good. You'll set off in a few minutes."

As he walked away, I went to to medicine den. Stormgaze was asleep, but Owlpelt wasn't. He looked up as I came in. "So, how's Lilacpaw?"

"Amberstar told us she was killed by a monster." I measured his reaction carefully. His eyes darkened with sadness and he buried his head in his paws. I picked his ear and went outside, curling up by the entrance of the den. I closed my eyes. I'll just take a little nap. . . .

"Fangpaw, time to go."

I opened my eyes. It seemed like only a second ago that I'd closed them. Snake-eyes was looming over me. "You okay?"

"Yeah. Just tired." I got to my paws and glanced at the sky. It was starting to turn pale. Hareleap and Robinpaw were waiting by the gorse tunnel. I stretched and followed him, my eyes still heavy with sleep. He whispered something to Hareleap and we took off.

The ground flashed beneath my paws as we ran toward the Twolegplace border. I could smell water there, though I didn't know why. My parched mouth screamed, Get the water!

I meowed, "Could I go on ahead and check for predators?"

Snake-eyes and Hareleap glanced at each other. Finally Hareleap answered, "Sure, but come straight back."

I dipped my head and raced toward the distant Highstones. When I was out of sight, I veered toward the Twolegplace. I'll just run in, get some water and maybe some food, and run back out.

As I ducked under the gorse bushes that protected WindClan territory from the outside world, I felt a sense of foreboding wash over me. Perhaps I shouldn't do this. Then my grumbling stomach made up my mind. I winced as a thorn scraped my muzzle, then I was through. I looked up, eyes wide in wonder and fear.

There was a long stretch of bare dirt between me and the first Twoleg nest. There was a bunch of wooden planks surrounding it, the ones in the back taller, but none of them were anything like trees. A hissing noise was coming from it and a delicious scent came to me. Water!

Without really even thinking it through, I sprinted toward it, tongue lolling. I wiggled through a gap under a lower part of the planks and into the garden. Immediately droplets soaked my fur as if it was raining. I squealed in delight and started licking the water off the grass, which was actually green. When I had drank as much as I could, I started jumping around in it, relishing the cool wetness on my pelt. I didn't notice the sun rising until I heard clomping footsteps and the water stopped. I jumped to my feet and looked up. A young Twoleg was approaching. I drew back my lips, spine arched, and growled. The Twoleg stopped and slowly put down two shiny silver things before backing away.

My nose twitched at the tempting smells coming from it. Smells like food. I crept closer, ears flat, and peeked into the shiny things. One held sweet-smelling white stuff, the other fish-scented pink stuff. I lapped at the white stuff first. It brought back memories of when I was a kit, dependent on Silvermoon's milk. I started on the pink stuff. It wasn't as good as rabbit, but I thought, The more I eat here, the more I can help feed the Clan.

Suddenly I felt something strange touch my head. I leapt backwards, yowled at the Twoleg, and fled back across the dirt, through the gorse, back onto my territory.

I guess that wasn't so bad, I admitted. I might come back.

It was only then I remembered the dawn patrol.


I half walked, half stumbled into camp, practically asleep on my paws. The first cat who noticed me, Tansypetal, ran up to me and licked my face. "You look beat down."

"What happened?" Swiftstar asked. "The dawn patrol came back ages ago."

Luckily for me I had cleaned my fur and made up a story. "I was going along the border. I scented something suspicious and had to cross it. It led to a vicious dog, easily twice as brutal as Amberstar. I had to stay in a tree for hours." I felt guilty for lying, but I thought I was helping the Clan with my secret.

Swiftstar stiffened. "Go sleep. You've been up for almost two days." I didn't have to hear that twice. I went into the apprentices' den, curled up, and immediately fell asleep.


I knew something was wrong the moment I woke up. I felt around my nest, eyes open a little, but Silvermoon's fur was gone. In its place was Tawnykit's scent. I got to my paws and went outside. The sky was overcast, but the air was still dry without even a sniff of rain. I followed the trail over to a spot behind the nursery. There I saw Tawnykit, her paws dirty and a sly smirk on her face. "Looking for something?"

"Give it back, Tawnykit."

"It's Tawnypaw now." The arrogant she-cat lifted her chin. "While you were taking your beauty sleep which will never work Swiftstar made me and my brothers apprentices. And I'm not sure how much you'll want it now." She stepped aside. I had to narrow my eyes to see it. Silvermoon's fur was shredded, trampled so deeply into the dirt that I could hardly see it. Tawnypaw sneered, "Enjoy."

Rage blazed through me a fierce as lightning. I growled, lips drawn back, and attacked. I sank my claws deep into her fur and snarled, "How dare you! You had no right to steal from me! None!" Tawnypaw didn't react due to shock. I tore out several tufts of her coat before she struck back. I yowled in pain as her claws tore out a chunk of my ear. I scratched her forehead, flipping her onto her back. "You're mine."

Before I could inflict any more damage, Ravencall grabbed my scruff and dragged me away. "Fangpaw, what in the name of StarClan are you doing? Explain."

I stammered, "Tawnypaw stole, well, she -"

"Enough. You are to take care of the elders and kits for a half-moon, understand?" Ravencall's yellow eyes were stern and angry as they bore into my furious amber orbs. I broke eye contact and looked at my paws. When he spoke again, his voice was slightly softer. "Now, both of you go see Stormgaze and Mintpaw."

I glared at Tawnypaw. Her gaze met mine and we exchanged a look of hatred. I will never get along with that heap of fox-dung. If I have to pay the price, so be it.


Again, sorry for the shortness. Still doing project.

Fun fact:

Eelkit was originally going to be a she-cat named Rosekit.
