Disclaimer: Do I look like my name is Erin Hunter?
For the reviews, thanks to:
Silvermoon Dragoneye: I'm glad you liked it. It took me a long time to decide on the names. I originally thought that they would be named Soulfire and Spiritfire, but Spiritfire doesn't have the ring to it that Soulfire has. Spiritwing is a good name, too!
CHAPTER 9
The sun peeked is pink eye above the horizon. I shivered, wishing that it would hurry up. Ironwhisker stepped out of the den and stretched. He walked over to us and I tried my best not to make a peep. He sat down next to us, making sure we didn't talk until the sun was all the way up. Butterflyeye stepped out of the warriors den next, and went to chat with Fireflypelt.
Then Ironwhisker stirred. "You can speak now." he mewed before going off. I got up and stretched, feeling through the mind-link Soulfire doing the same. "Wow. I can't believe we're warriors!" mewed Turtleheart.
"Yeah." Marshpelt echoed her. I couldn't believe it, either. We ambled over to the fresh-kill pile. I chose a vole, Turtleheart a thrush, and Soulfire and Marshpelt two rabbits. After we ate, I decided to go out hunting.
"Anyone wanna go hunting with me?" I meowed to my friends. They all looked at me with a weird stare.
"Aren't you tired? We did stay up all night." Soulfire mewed.
"Nah, not really. But you guys can go to sleep if you want."
"I'll come." Marshpelt struggled to his feet. I looked at him as he stifled a huge yawn.
"No, go get some rest. I'll be back by sunhigh, all right?" They nodded, and I padded off to the path that led to the higher ground. I decided to go to the Earthclan border. I caught a rabbit and a mouse there. I was just starting to think that I should go home, when I heard some whispering. There was a patrol on our side of the border! I was just about to go and attack, when I heard something that stopped me.
"-Soulpaw and Spiritpaw. They seem to be less than they are. I want you three to go and ambush them when they are out. Is that clear?"
"Yes" the others answered. I tried my best to stay silent. They wanted to kidnap us! My thoughts were cut off as was cut off as the wind shifted, carrying my scent right towards the patrol!
"Hey, what's that? Mudfur, you go check it out." a voice meowed. An ugly brown face came behind the rock I was behind.
"Hey, just who I was looking for..." he muttered. I was frozen with fear.
"Hey, Darksky! I found... one of them" he turned to me. "Which one are you?" he hissed.
"Spiritwind, you oaf. Can't you tell one cat from another, or is your brain too small?" I hissed.
"You just made a big mistake, little kitty. Say night-night!" His lips pulled into a sneer and his paw came slamming down onto my head. Then everything was black.
A/N: Ooh, my first cliffy! Sorry this chapter was so short, I just got over my writers block by starting another story, a songfic called Until We Meet Again.
Well, I guess no one pays any attention to my policy :( I guess it is down to just one review now, although more are very welcome. Please review!
