WARRIORS
OLD ERA
PART II
"Run Silver Paw! Run!" Greeneyes screamed. Silverpaw's eyes blazed with fear. He didn't run. He stood tall and he kicked the dirt.
"No, No Greeneyes, I shall fight for my clan. Silverpaw said. Greeneyes shook his head.
"Silverpaw you don't get it do you? This is the Lionclan the fiercest, wildest, strongest clan in this forest! And they're right here! Go Silverpaw! Just get out of here!" But Silverpaw refused, he flew on another Lionclan warrior. But Silverpaw was easily pinned to the ground. The Lionclan warrior was about to swipe at Silverpaw's neck when he was smacked on the head but Greeneyes. "You DO NOT hurt my apprentice Manestar, you got that!" Greeneyes spat with fury. Silverpaw's eyes shone with pride.
"Don't touch me Greenface." Manestar smirked. They scraped at each other. Silverpaw got up and looked for Bravepaw. But then some cat grabbed Silverpaw's face and scratched it with intense energy. Silverpaw yowled in pain. Greeneyes knocked Manestar in the face and turned around to face Silverpaw.
"Silverpaw! What happened?" Greeneyes asked with sympathy.
"I happened!" Greeneyes was hit in the head by a cat. Greeneyes turned around to face him.
"You….." Growled Greeneyes. The cat smiled. "Blackfur!" How is it being deputy of the Lionclan?"
"Great!" Laughed Blackfur. Before they could start they're battle there was another battle call. Everyone turned around. There stood Stripedstar.
"Manestar, you dare invade our territory?" Stripedstar growled with rage. Manestar's eyebrows shot up challengingly. Stripedstar jumped onto Manestar and brought him down. You get out of my territory and stay away from my clan. Or I'll beat you like the scum you are!" Stripedstar spat. Manestar looked down with a look of defeat. Stripedstar turned around and walked away. Before he left Manestar pushed Stripedstar into the bushes.
"I'll come here and do what I please." Sneered Manestar. With that Manestar struck Stripedstar neck.
"Stripedstar, no!" Bluetail said quietly. Then slowly Stripedstar got up. "You have lost a life, haven't you?"
"Yes, that was my third." Stripedstar sighed. Manestar sniffed menacingly and ran off with his clan. Silverpaw looked around; he saw all the blood and shuddered. He realized what Greeneyes meant now.
"Greeneyes, can we go home now?" Silverpaw asked. Greeneyes nodded. Everyone started to head home. As they advanced Silverpaw caught up with Bravepaw. "Are you hurt Bravepaw?"
"Not too much. A few scratches, what about you?"
"My neck's in pretty bad condition. Wow Now I'll never forget my first lesson. Stripedstar walked up to Silverpaw when they finally reached camp.
"You should go see Raintoes. Get that gash checked out." Stripedstar said soothingly. Silverpaw nodded and trotted off.
"Yikes Silverpaw that's pretty bad!" Raintoes said. Here let's get some herbs and some poppy seeds.
"Yes Raintoes."
"You seem awfully down today Silverpaw. By now you would have broken at least 2 jars!" Silverpaw didn't laugh.
"Yeah."
"Tell me honey what's wrong?"
"It's just that Greeneyes probably wouldn't have that broken legs if I had listened. I mean I feel responsible for this."
"Look, Silverpaw it's not your fault. It just seems that way. Don't feel bad.
"I don't know…." Silverpaw sighed with sadness. Silverpaw took the medicine and left the den without another word.
"Wake up, come one please Silverpaw Wake up!" Bravepaw said arrogantly. Silverpaw only shook a little bit. But before Bravepaw could shake Silverpaw anymore Stripedstar called for a meeting.
