AN: Yay! I'm getting one in before school starts! Hope you like it!
Sun's POV:
Sun crept next to Ice and Willow, with Branch on her other side. The mud covering her pelt made it stick up in all directions, but she was used to it by now. Ice and Willow crept forward, while Branch and Sun went out to the sides. Sun looked ahead at their prey, and reddish falcon was feeding its chicks, it would have no idea they were coming, and the chicks would thrill the to-bes and Elders.
She looked up to the sky, it had heavy clouds, but there was no sign of anything dangerous. A cold blast of air smoothed her fur down, and she stilled. Willow crept even closer, and Ice jumped up on a small ledge, ready to pounce on one that tried to fly away. Willow raised her tail and pounced, the falcon let out a screech and flapped into the air. The chicks peeped cries of distress, and Ice jumped on the adult. As the prey-hunters killed their catch, Sun looked to the sky again and gasped.
She sat up bolt right," Eagle!"
The other cats too sat up and turned their heads to the sky. The golden bird was turning to dive towards the cats.
"Run!" Branch yowled.
The cats scattered all over the face of the rock, and the eagle dived. Sun looked at her tribemates, Branch was safely hidden behind a rock, his pelt blending in, and Willow was crouching in a crevice. But where's Ice? Sun looked around more and spotted him attempting to drag the falcon away.
"Ice!" she yowled, jumping over to him.
Ice's POV:
Ice dropped the bird and looked over at Sun, completely oblivious to the eagle. Sun bolted over to where he stood, and bounded into his side, knocking him away. The blue-grey tom landed on his side and scrambled up, just in time to see Sun cowering in fear at the eagle's talons.
"Sun!" he yowled, running forward. Just as the eagle was ascending, he leapt up onto its back and clawed at it. The eagle flapped its wings harder, trying to lift both cats into the air. Slowly, it began to rise into the air, only to be stopped again by Willow. Letting out a yowl of fury, she jumped on top of its back and bit into its neck.
The eagle let out a screech that was abruptly cut off. Its wings stopped flapping and it fell to the ground, crushing Sun.
"Mmmrph!" yowled Sun, under the eagle.
Branch ran forward and started to heave the eagle off of her.
"Thanks," she panted. She then fell unconscious on the ground.
Branch sighed and hefted her onto his back," Let's go. Grab the prey, Willow."
Branch's POV:
The cats started to make their way back to the cave, and stopped just outside the waterfall. They could just hear sounds of surprise over the rush of the waterfall. Branch and Willow exchanged a glance, and Willow took off with Ice at her heels. Branch followed slower, because of Sun on his back.
When he reached the cave, he placed Sun on the floor and looked around. There was a huge crowd near the center of the cave. He pushed his way through the crowd to see a small cat, their fur sticking to their ribs, crouched in the center of them all.
"Move aside!" came a tight voice," I need to see!"
Cats stepped aside, and Stoneteller padded into the middle of the cave, and stopped in front of the cat.
"What is your name, and why are you here?" she asked.
The cat looked up at her and whimpered. Even Stoneteller, who was extremely wiry and thin, looked well fed and strong next to the cat," I-I'm Ho-hon-"
"Honeyleaf!"
POV Change: Sun.
What is Honeyleaf doing here?! That was my only thought when I saw her there, ragged and half-starved. Even though I had only just woken up, I knew it was her. I ran over to the warrior.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I bent down.
She coughed, and looked at me," H-how do you know my name?"
I slowly padded over to her," It's me, Sunpaw."
Wow, it's been so long since I've said that name. I'm surprised I even remembered it. I braced myself for her to not remember me, but I was shocked when she spoke next.
"S-sunpaw?" she asked," Now I remember…"
With that she collapsed on the floor, exhausted. Stoneteller came rushing forward, and started to get Honeyleaf to her den. She remembers? I thought, What does she remember? I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice when Ice came up to me.
"Hey?" he said," You okay?"
I shook my head," Yeah, I'm fine."
We headed back to the sleeping spots, and went to sleep.
AN: There. I got another one in before school started. Please Read and Review!
