A Hello- Hey, this is my first story chapter to be published on this site! Wooooo! Well, enjoy the Prologue and Chapter 1, everybody! Also please make sure to review. After all, I wracked my brains for the names and so on. Lol, I think my brain's been overworked...
Disclaimer- I do not own Warriors, even though I'd love to... Yup, loads of Erin's own Warrior Cats. Waaah!
Prologue
The ginger tom padded backwards and forwards impatiently, his large bushy tail swinging left and right in sync with his body "Come on, PantherPad. Where are you?" he murmured "Danger is near and I need help from StarClan..." he stopped and looked up at the shining stars overhead, the noise of sleeping cats and the quiet, peaceful night calmed the orange cat's thoughts.
A young skinny tom emerged from the dark and padded swiftly towards the light coloured tom who dipped his head in greeting "How are the kits?" "Asleep and healthy, RedStar." answered the black cat settling besides his leader and looking towards the night sky. RedStar nodded slowly then lay down tucking his paws underneath his thick belly fur "PantherPad, have you been getting any news from StarClan lately?" PantherPad's tail twitched in amusement at the ginger toms use of words "StarClan are ancient warriors and thus should be treated as such." he recited to the leader "I know, I know." RedStar replied sighing "But we don't have the time for formality, the RiverClan's warriors are getting stronger by the day and I fear we may soon find ourselves tangled up in war." PantherPad blinked in understanding then continued to gaze at the star-filled sky.
The blue WindClan leader sat inside her den mind ticking over like clock-work, a tom outside mewed her name and she meowed an invite for him to come in, as the tom entered the blue she-cat dipped her head and said "Lionscar, what is the problem?" the golden cat seemed taken aback by his leader's accuracy "One of our warriors has found a,"- he choked and lowered his eyes to the floor- "an apprentice dead, ripped apart by -from the scent of it- a dog, close to ThunderClan territory, SeaStar." SeaStar stood up her eye's wide in shock "One of ours?" she gasped ears pricked forwards, Lionscar nodded sadly "LuckyPaw... We brought her back to camp." SeaStar padded past him and exited her den "Show me." she commanded, Lionscar silently dipped past her and turned towards the middle of the dark -almost silent- camp.
"LuckyPaw! Oh my beautiful kit..." a grey and brown she-cat lay hunched beside an unmoving small golden brown corpse she licked the golden cat in vain and rested her head against her dead daughter's shoulders sobbing, as SeaStar approached the grieving cat looked up "She's still alive isn't she? We can heal her, right?" she mewed, SeaStar gently touched the brown she-cat's cheek "I'm sorry AshFur, she's gone to join StarClan." she murmured sadly in the queen's ear, AshFur flattened her ears and yowled quietly to herself. A young black and white cat sat close to the broken body eye's misty with sorrow "My poor sister..." he turned his head towards LionScar "What happened to her...?" the golden deputy glanced at the apprentice before looking back towards the silent brown she-cat "A dog was scented around the area she was found." The young cat twitched his tail and went padding towards his mother mewing words of comfort "StarClan sent me a word of warning." meowed a tortoiseshell she-cat whom had emerged from her den moments ago as she passed the grieving cats and the bloodied corpse her ears flattened against her head "What happened here?" she muttered to SeaStar "An unfortunate accident," came the reply "what is StarClan's warning?" "Well..."
"... A clash of brothers, not of the clans. Blood will rain upon us." PantherPad mewed quietly his eyes fixated upon the Silverpelt above "... A sacrifice will be made." as StarClan released the medicine cat from their firm grip he blinked and stretched as if awoken from sleep. RedStar's lips drew back and he stood up to turn his back at the night sky "We'll have to tread carefully. This seems like one of the worst prophecy's yet!"
