Annnnnnd here with another chapter! If you haven't caught on yet, I try to update every week. So far I've been able to finish the chapters and to get my editor post it... Since I don't own my own computer yet. Well.. Maybe not quite this time. But it's because I was quite busy yesterday ^^' and I was working extra hard on this chapter, so I hope you enjoy! Also.. No new reviews, so on to the disclaimer, Hoot!
Hoot: Wait, what.. Me?
*crosses my arms* yes you
Hoot: But I'm.. Oh whatever
Hoot: Sillymew nor her editor owns Warriors! If they did, well things would probably be a lot crazier.
Warrior Cats: Blood Moon
Chapter 2
As the sun had set, the moon had slowly begun to rise, and Luna at last decided to hunt and rest. She slowed her pace, opening her mouth and drawing in a long, deep breath. The she cat looked around, taking in the forest's scents, sounds, and beauty during the near pitch-black night. She didn't entirely know why, but she felt drawn towards the moon and the darkness of the night ever since she was a young kit. Perhaps is was her own name, Luna, meaning moon, as her mother had told her. Maybe it was just a preference, or something along the lines of being a genetic trait.
Luna continued to think, forgetting what the white and black she cat had been doing in the first place, when something something in a berry bush rustled. She flicked her black tipped ear, but the movement still going unnoticed. After the rustle happened yet again, Luna turned her brilliant violet- blue gaze towards the bush, caution and fear flickering in the depths. Before she could do anything, a mouse scurried out of the bush.
She flicked the tip of her tail. "Well now don't I feel a bit like a mouse brain..." Luna purred quietly in amusement, then dropped into a hunter's crouch. Fortunately, the mouse hadn't noticed her yet, and was currently nibbling on a berry that it had found a moment ago. "Perfect, looks healthy AND plump," Luna smiled to herself, mouth already watering at the thought of sinking her teeth into the mouse's flesh.
She slowly crept forward, paws seeming to glide along the ground. Luck, for once, seemed to be with her; the wind was blowing towards the she cat and there wasn't too much on the grassy ground to give her away. She stalked closer and closer to the mouse, and as soon as she was in leaping distance, Luna stopped, wiggled her haunches, her gaze locked onto the oblivious creature. And then she pounced. She felt the wind rush through her fur, landing on the mouse, killing it with a swift bite to the neck.
Satisfaction, and a slight pride began to course through her as she gazed upon her fresh kill. "Nice catch," a smooth voice mewed, a friendly tone to it. Luna's eyes widened as she froze, until she then quickly recognized the voice. Slowly, she turned around and was met with sky -blue eyes, warmth flickering in his gaze.
Dumbfounded and not knowing quite what to say or do, she just stared blankly at the tom. After a few moments of silence, Luna finally spoke up, "Sky.. How.. What.. Why are you here?" The she cat gave the white tom a puzzled look. Sky glanced away, ears flattening against his head. He looked almost... Embarrassed?
Sky looked back at her. "I was, uh.. A bit worried. Berry told me you ran off after you killed Turtle?" Berry was a pure ginger tom with green eyes, and also Sky's older brother. They hadn't always been close, being almost total opposites, but were still there for one another. Sky cleared his throat, "And well... I didn't quite believe that, I know you're an honest cat. You wouldn't hurt anyone like that... Right?" His gaze held a hopeful look to them, as he stared at her intensely.
Luna gave a soft smile, staring right back into his oddly comforting eyes, "Of course I didn't do it.." she heaves out a sigh. She had a good guess as to who killed the tom; but she knew she couldn't tell Sky, since it seemed to point towards his brother. Even if they weren't close, she knew that Sky cared about Berry quite deeply. "You know I wouldn't." Sky continued to stare at her, some undetermined emotion swimming in his gaze.
He glances away, "Well.. That's good. You should probably eat that." He mews softly as he flicks his tail towards the forgotten catch, the blood of the mouse beading out slowly.
"Err, yeah.. Would you like to join me?" Luna pokes the plump piece of fresh kill with a claw, "I honestly don't think I'll eat it all anyways."
Sky flashes her a smile, "Sure, even though I'm suppose to bring you back," he teases lightly. She smiled, then lay down in front of the piece of meat. She took a small neat bite, then Sky would take a bite. They continued until it was nothing but small mouse bones, Luna finding herself drowsy.
"You should " She gets interrupted by a huge yawn, " leave now.." She mewed quietly, eyes drifting closed. The last thing she saw was Sky smiling, and his sky blue eyes...
Awwweee, they go sleepy together~ Anyways *clears throat* I still need cats for the clans, since I can't think of much. I already have Thunderclan down, and two cats for Shadowclan thanks to Robotkitty. Don't forget to review~!
- Silly
Sorry for the late update, guys. My fault completely, took Silly dancing on Friday, and just couldn't get around to editing today. So sorry. And ah, everyone, Silly may be quitting this story soon, the low amount of reviews and such kinda makes her discouraged… Let's all try to fix that! Let's all kick the fucking shit outta that review button!
