Ok this is my first story on here so please R+R!
Warriors:Sunblaze
Prologue
Moonshadow crouched low on the dew covered forest floor, his belly just barley swinging above the ground. He swiftly sped after the deputy, Firewings, into unknown territory. His friend, Blackrose, trailed behind.
"Are we almost there!" she complained out and of breath falling farther and farther behind.
"Hush!" hissed Firewings. "If there is another clan living nearby, like Thunderclan claims, then we must know about it."
"What kind of threat could they be to Shadowclan this far away from our territory?" questioned Moonshadow.
"If they ever discovered our clan, they might invade our camp and try to drive us out. Everyone could be in danger. Who knows if this new clan follows the warrior code under Starclan." stated the deputy. The three cats skillfully zigzagged and weaved through the bracken and around the pine trees tracking the scent of strange cats. Firewings paused and lifted his head to sniff the air.
"The scent is getting stronger, we must be close." he mused.
The misty stillness that filled the morning air made it rather difficult to detect other cats nearby. Moonshadow tilted his ear and heard the sound of approaching pawsteps.
"Quick! Into the bush!" yowled Firewings scurrying to safety with Blackrose at his side. Moonshadow however was curious about meeting new cats from a strange clan and didn't want to run and hide.
"Moonshadow! get over here now!" growled the deputy. Reluctantly, he obeyed. Just as his tail disappeared from sight, two cats bursts into the clearing snarling and hissing the anticipated intruders.
"Sunfire, I could have sworn I heard cats here a moment ago." stated a pretty tortishell she-cat. Sunfire, a stunning golden she-cat with green eyes and firey orange legs, cautiously sniffed the air.
"There's only the two of them! Lets attack!" whispered Blackrose excitedly.
"No!" whispered Firewings back. "There could be more cats nearby."
"Wow she's beautiful." murmured a dazed Moonshadow to himself. But Blackrose, who has a thing for Moonshadow, caught exactly what he said.
"Who! That scrawny yellow cat!" she questioned with an icy edge to her voice. Moonshadow didn't respond. He couldn't take his distinctive glowing orange eyes off of Sunfire. His Ashy black pelt prickled and it took everything he had not to jump out and meet her. The two she-cats looked around warily one lasttime and darted farther back into the forest.
"Lets follow them back to their camp." whispered Firewings. "We have to be very cautious though. If we get caught spying, we'll be too outnumbered to defend ourselves." Moonshadow, Blackrose, and Firewings gave chase to the cats a little more than a mouse length behind. Without thinking, Moonshadow raced ahead of the other dying to catch up to Sunfire.
'Sunfire is such an enchanting name' he thought to himself. Blackrose quickly dashed up next to him and bowled him over with an unsheathed paw.
"Mousebrain!" she snarled. "Do you want to give us away to their whole clan! Maybe when we're fighting for our lives you'll realize your little golden cat fantasy was a mistake!"
"Moonshadow! Blackrose! Control yourselves! If we don't hurry we'll lose their trail in this mist!" Firewings Growled urgently. The three cats picked up their pace, continually tracking the cats until they ended up on a cliff overlooking ridges and small caves infested with strange scented cats. In the middle of one of the slopes stood a large boulder that appeared to be this clan's highrock.
"Fireclan! Assemble!" called a large, muscular, tan she-cat. A large number of cats, about the number of Windclan and Shadow clan cats put together, appeared beneath the rock. Blackrose let a low growl escape from her throat as she spotted Sunfire in the crowd. "Fireclan!" the Tan leader called again once she seemed satisfied that all of her clan had gathered. "I StarFire have some unpleasant business to discuss. Two of our warriors, Sunfire and Dragonfire, have scented intruders in our land! If you see them, you have my permission to attack and if all necessary, kill them." "We have very little prey left, so we can't afford to stolen what little is left this leaf-bare" Yowls of agreement arose from the crowd. An evil grin appeared on Blackrose's smug face as she felt Moonshadow flinch after a blue-gray tom came and wrapped his tail affectionately around Sunfire. Firewings, who hadn't been paying attention to the other two, leaned over and whispered:
"I didn't smell any prey on the way here so they must have a shortage."
"You're right." remarked Moonshadow quietly. "I didn't scent anything either" Firewings thought that it might be too risky to stay any longer so he nudged his companions and flicked his tail to signal that it was time for them to head back to camp.
I hoped you liked the prologue. Ch. 1 will be posted soon.
In the future, Sunfire finally meets Moonshadow, finds herself a prisoner of Shadowclan after interrupting a gathering and ends up in an all out war with BlackRose. Will Fireclan find their missing warrior and battle Shadow clan for her? You have to keep reading to find out. After I post Chapter 1 on, I will not update without at least 2 reveiws.
