Sorry this took so long!! I needed to get a list of characters and when I found it I just decided to forget it. Some of the characters like the leaders are from the books, but others like the warriors are from my imagination. I'm still looking for names for the main and side characters! Enjoy and remember I do not own the Warrior series!
Special thanks to:
icethroat21 for the suggestion of the name Duskkit.
Hiddenmusic for the suggestion of the name Sparrowkit. I liked Hawkkit as well but I am wary of using the name after Hawkfrost.
Chapter One
Five moons later…
Sparrowkit's POV:
I played enthusiastically outside the den with my brother, Duskkit. Our mother had kicked us out of the den for playing a little too rough around the younger kits.
I pounced on a leaf blowing around outside the den and tossed it lightly with my paw to Duskkit. He lunged and missed it by an inch.
"Guess you'll have to practice some more if you want to fight a Shadowclan warrior," I teased my brother, as he lunged for the leaf a second time and pinned it under his paws.
"Oh, yeah? Let's see you take down one of their warriors," he challenged, leaping at me. I ducked easily, watching him sink his claws into the ground as he sailed over my back. Then I whipped around and pounced, pinning him easily to the ground.
"You're going to be a great fighter someday, Sparrowkit," Brambleclaw, the clan's deputy, said.
"Thanks, Brambleclaw," I replied giving my fur a nervous lick. "Do you know who my mentor is going to be?"
"Now, now, I don't want to spoil the surprise and anyway, you have a moon to go before you'll be apprenticed."
"I'm just so excited!"
"Well you'll have to wait, just like all the other kits." Brambleclaw walked off.
"Excuse me, your majesty, but your standing on my tail," Duskkit growled.
"Sorry, did I hurt your beautiful tail?" I asked teasingly stepping off his tail.
Duskkit growled and leaped forward to resume our fight.
Meanwhile in Riverclan:
Streamkit's POV:
"Streamkit, why don't you go play?" my mother asked me.
"Fine," I grumbled walking slowly out of the den and sat dejectedly down outside the den. There weren't any other kits my age in the den right now. The older kits were already apprentices and the rest weren't old enough to leave the nursery. I didn't have any brothers or sisters. I was alone without anyone to play with.
"Hi, Streamkit," a bright voice said and I looked up. It was just Brackenpaw. He had been an apprentice for two moons already. I liked him well enough, but he didn't spend a lot of time around camp. "Why so glum?"
"I don't have any friends my age, I don't have any brothers or sisters, I have no one to play with."
"Why don't you go see if there are any apprentices in the den?"
"Maybe I will. I think Rubyheart is trying to call you."
"I'll see you later, then," he turned and trotted toward his mentor. My heart swelled with jealousy as I watched the pair of them trot off into the woods.
A flash of intuition sparked a sudden thought. I glanced quickly around the little clearing and then disappeared after them. As soon as I was out of sight of the camp, I relaxed and just explored our territory. I loved the feel of the grass under my paws and the sounds of the forest surrounding me.
I found a stream easily and took a few quick laps of the crisp, clean water. I stepped experimentally into the water and felt a flash of cold tear through my paws. I pulled back and started to turn around. Before I could, a loud yowl interrupted my thoughts and I jumped backwards…right into the water.
At the center of the river, the currents were a lot stronger and they pulled me under. I yowled, trying to get the attention of whoever was close enough to find me, but there was no answer. I lost hope as the water pulled me under again.
Sorry this had to end at such a exciting moment. I have a strange thing for ending all chapters with a cliffie. Don't worry though. I hope to write Chapter two today or tomorrow. I've got a four day weekend and I plan to donate most of it to my writing: fanfiction or otherwise. So click that review button, tell me what you thought and give me some name suggestions! I can't write a story without names! Oh and if there were spelling mistakes in this I apologize. I'm using a laptop and for some reason Word doesn't automatically show up misspelled words and grammar mistakes like it does on my computer.
