Unfueled Flames: Book 1: The Phoenix of Thunderclan

by Moonweaver50

Phoenixkit is a orange she-cat from Thunderclan. She lives a normal life until their medicine cat, Spottedleaf, tells her a strange prophecy, "The bird of fire will rise from death, and nothing will bring it down again." Phoenixpaw along with her friends, Bluepaw, Graypaw, and Lionpaw, feel danger looming around each corner, and as it draws nearer, she wonders how bad the storm is.

11. Chapter 10 Now How Do You Really Feel?

This character was purposely modeled like this, if you don't like his constant references and twoleg items, it won't last long, just please bear with me.

The next morning, Tigger woke us up with a strange-smelling food in our faces. I looked at a piece of it. It was long and thin with a mixture of dark brown and light brown in strips. Lighting's eyes lit up. "Bacon!" he exclaimed with excitement.

"Bacon?"

"Try it! It's good."

I cautiously took a piece and sniffed it. "It smells funny."

"Just try it! Trust me."

I sighed. "I trust you, Lightning," I murmured. "But, I think I'll pass. I can get a mouse or two I bet."

He laughed. "Okay, more for us!"

Although we were still in twolegplace, the pickings were rich in the forest beyond. Apparently Tigger's cave is on the very edge of twolegplace. When I came back with a fat rabbit, they weren't in the main cave. "Uh, guys?"

Mews drifted from the central opening. With it some bangs, and a "Darn it!" followed.

"Guys! Are you okay?"

The noise stopped and Lightning hopped out of the opening. "Hey Phoenixpaw! Come join our game!"

"What game?"

Tigger followed. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Why?"

"What... the... FLIP... is that?"

"An Xbox 360 game, duh."

"Yeah, it's fun, you should join us. Tigger's destroying me."

"Um, no thanks."

Lightning rolled his eyes. "Come on, lighten up will ya'?"

Growling softly, I followed them into Tigger's den. I looked up at the tall roof, gaping. On one wall, a rectangular box sat suspended on a wall. The ground was strangely fluffy blue substance. In the center, up against a wall, was a large... um... thing. The center was covered in weird colors that moved and swirled before my eyes when they picked up two oddly shaped white things. The rim was shiny black. Next to it, a rectangular white box sat.

Uh-"

"Come on, I'll destroy this time Tigger!" Lightning yowled.

Feeling lower than ever, I slunk back into the main chamber and crouched down to eat my rabbit, hardly feeling my hunger anymore. Maybe he didn't want to be with me anymore. That night, I shook Lilykit, Cometkit, and Solarkit awake. "Come on, little ones," I murmured quietly. "We're going home."

Cometkit looked up at me, his kit-blue eyes large. "What about Dad?"

"Yes, what about Dad?" a voice spoke behind me.

I jumped. "Lightning! I thought you were with your old friend!"

His gaze was unwavering. "I thought you wouldn't leave without me," he told me, his voice low and quiet.

"I wouldn't leave without you."

"Then why didn't you wake me up?"

"I was going to."

"Were you, Phoenixpaw? Were you?"

"I- I thought you would prefer to stay here."

"Oh Phoenixpaw," he padded up to me and rubbed against me. "I would never want to leave you, not for twolegs, not for Tigger, not for anything. Come on, let's go."

Walking silently, we reached the edge of the nearby forest and glanced into it's depths. I opened my mouth to breathe in any scents. A single smell reached my scent glands. "Riverclan! We're almost home!"
