Hey everyone! I apologize for the delayed chapter.. Crazy and busy weeks, ya know. Deva explained the chunk of it, but I won't spare the details.
Blue741776- Ah, yes. That was a mistake on my part, whoospies.
Snowcrystal of Thunderclan- Glad you enjoyed the last chapter!
I'm not gonna continuously repeat the disclaimer. I think everyone knows that I don't own Warriors :P
Warrior Cats: Blood Moon
Chapter 5
Step by painful step, Luna stepped over what she believed to be a border. It had been quite the journey, and she learned some things about the clans along the ways. There were four, even five by clan beliefs. The living clans were ThunderClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, and RiverClan. She knew that they had special skill sets for each clan, but they had slipped her mind. There was also a Warrior Code, but she also didn't remember the rules in it. Other than her current knowledge, she knew nothing more. Luna shook her head, clearing her thoughts, then continued on cautiously.
"Hey, you. Stop right there." Luna froze in her tracks, and turned around slowly. Four cats stood before her; the cat in lead was a gray tom with white paws, a white belly, white left ear, and soft green eyes. The cat next to him was another tom, a sandy tabby tom with green eyes. The next cat was a smaller grey tom with greyish blue eyes, and a bit of odd black paws. The final cat, standing behind the rest, was a beautiful blueish-gray she-cat with pretty light blue eyes. "What are you doing in ThunderClan territory, Rogue?" The tom in front asked calmly, yet in an hostile tone. The smaller tom's fur fluffed up, while the other two cats gave blank expressions with twitching tails.
Thunderclan… I was right! This is where they are! Luna's ears flicked, a soft purr rumbling in her chest. "What's with the purr?" The smaller tom hissed, fluffing up his fur in an attempt to look threatening. The key word was attempt. The purr died in her throat, but a small smile lit up her features.
"It's nothing, really. I actually was looking for the clans, and it seems I've found them." The gray tom with green eyes that had spoken earlier looked at her curiously, "and why were you looking for us?"
Luna paused, then spoke. "Well I've been alone, and living in a group of cats sounds interesting. Plus I'd like to help other cats, and learn your ways." She gave a low dip of her head, "I'd be grateful if you allowed me to join." She decided on leaving out any details, only because she didn't want to risk not being allowed to join. The three older cats exchanged glances, then seemed to come to an agreement.
"We will take you to speak to our leader," the she-cats voice was smooth, yet so soft. "I'm Dawnstone. This is Silvercloud," Dawnstone nodded to the grey and white tom. "Mistpaw," she flicked her tail over Mistpaw's ear, the tom instantly reacting by batting the tail away. "And Pikejaws." The final tom gave a grunt of greeting, clearly a cat with a usually grumpy mood.
A smile blossomed onto Luna's face, "Nice to meet you all. My name is Luna." Pikejaws opened his jaws, but Mistpaw jumped in before him.
"That's a weird name! Like, a really weird name." Pikejaws shoots a glare towards the tom, his eyes blazing with annoyance. Silvercloud exchanged an amused look with Dawnstone.
"Well it actually means moon, if that helps…" Luna flashed an awkward grin, showing off her pearly white fangs.
Pikejaws growled, "We should go take her to Flashstar right about now." Before any cat could reply, the sandy-colored tom whipped around and stalked off in the opposite direction. Dawnstone stole a glance towards Luna, then followed. Silvercloud muttered something about how grumpy he was, then Mistpaw padded after them. Luna followed, whilst the little tom in front of her kept glancing back. Silence tainted the air as the cats moved through the forest. Leaves were littered all over the ground, leaving nearly nothing on the tree branches above. The leaves crunched underneath their paws, and the sensation was crumbly and cold.
Frosty air nipped at Luna's nose, she realized suddenly. Soon the cats came to a stop at a barrier, but the white and black she-cat noticed the bramble entrance. She glanced nervously at Mistpaw, the only cat who seemed to be interested in her. He gave a small smile, and nudged her shoulder in a comforting manner. Luna froze; she wasn't use to such actions, but relaxed. Remembering a pair of sky-blue eyes… She shook her head and smiled at Mistpaw. I have to forget, or there will be more pain…
"Come on," and impatient hiss left Pikejaws' jaws, "we aren't gonna wait forever."
Luna flicked her ear, "Sorry." She mewed simply then padded past the sandy tom. As soon as she entered what seemed to be a camp, a chill crept up her spine. Her eyes landed upon a familiar mottled gray pelt, and menacing yellow eyes…
It was dark, a little too dark. Luna looked up and noticed the dark gray clouds gathering, seeming oh so willing to cover up the moon. "There goes my light," Luna muttered through a plump vole. Her mother loved voles, so she decided to go catch one for her. Her brother… Luna was nervous whenever he was around. She didn't really do much for him anymore, since he's been having these odd changes.
He was a kind cat at heart, but slowly poison filled his soul.. Making him bitter. He grew more and more cruel each sunrise, leaving scratches for both Luna and her mother, Rose. The slender she-cat spotted the old den, but a metallic scent hit her nose.
Blood. She knew it from anywhere. Something was wrong, she knew it instantly. Luna dropped the prey she was carrying and ran over, panic making her heart speed up. She saw a lump of fur, covered in blood, intestines strewn about.. And a familiar figure standing over the body…
"Flint?!" Luna gasped, her violet-blue eyes stretched wide. The tom perked his ears and turned towards her, his sharp gaze piercing through her.
A grin that only an insane cat could muster creeped onto his muzzle, "Oh hello, dear sister," he meowed smoothly in a sickly-sweet tone, "It isn't Flint, by the way. The name's Flintfang, now." Flintfang flashed his sharp fangs, as if in a warning. "Now quiet, sister. You don't want to cause trouble, now do you?"
He turned with a final glance, and padded into a den. Luna gulped;
This might not work out after all.
Phew, another one finished. I might start doing chapters at my own pace, you guys. But I'll do it whenever I get a chapter done within a few days during any breaks or summer to make up for it though! I'm really stressed about school and all that, but Deva really helps me a lot. Even so, I still get stressed. That's why I'm slowing down to my own pace! If you accept and understand, or at least accept this, I thank you.
Love you all and your support!
Make sure to review, my pretties
