Thank you SOOO much to all who prayed. He's is considerably better. Not on the brink anymore. Thank you!!! I also found out he won't have to go into surgery for his back, they might just put it into a brace. THAT IS REALLY GOOD!!! I can't thank all of you guys enough.
I'll ramble on and on and on about how thankful I am, so now I'll just start the replies.
chakrastrings: He's doing better, although he has to go into another surgery...
Wolfclaws: Yeah...I found it!! I forgot it again, though...my bad!!!
Spiritwind of Fireclan: Yeah...I figured...I think this chapter will be a pleasure to wite...(cackles evily)
ReadingFan14: Ok. OK! I just was wondering... So, John and Zack will have to do a project togethor...fun! That means possible get togethers!!!
Wild Totodile: I don't think he does, he just knows somethings up...About the warrior names...hehe...I'm getting impatient...want to get to the action! ;) This chapter should be fun!
Firewolf: I was thinking about Berrytail, because that'll most likely be his actual warrior name in the next series...but that event didn't happen in my story (never thought about it, really) but I also thought Berryfur sounded cool. And it couldnt've been Mousefur, because Mousefur's name is Mousefur, so I went with Mousepelt...I just confuzzled myself. ;)
I know the feeling of being non-existant. My friend used to be in LOVE with Cole Sprouse ( I personally didn't think much of the show...cuz we have no cable. cries) but the fact that he doesnt even know she exists, much less that she liked him annoyed me. There is so many people now-a-days...The cities are sooo big, and if you aren't famous...you aren't really known!!! (sorry. I get annoyed easily)
Skypaw: I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!!! Well, kinda, since I know stupid boy's like that, but I also have LOTS of guyfriends. That stinks, though! Like old cheese!!! Tell her your (u could call it) friend, BlindSeer, says that boy's are just dumb, and and and and and...THAT NICK SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL. Well, maybe not that, but u kno what I mean. ;)
Blaze Ocean Dragon: Awesome name!!! I LOVE DRAGONS! And wolves! Anywho, yes. Why are tom's so dumb?
Bluepelt: I don't kno. (This may sound odd) I just think she's telling me she doesn't want him to know. Have you ever had that feeling when you are writting?
Anywho. Love Brambleclaw too, although right now in my story he is being a major jerk, but he think's he is protecting her...
JaBoyYa: Hmm, I'm thinking that maybe by either Hawkfrost or Tigerstar, but not Brambleclaw, because he's a softy. But when I cannot reveal, because that might ruin the whole thing. Actually, correction. It WOULD ruin the whole thing...
Oceanwind: Grrr, is it that obvious? (mutters to herself) Maybe I should have them accept it without a question. Naw, on with the fighting!
Author's Note Reviews: Thank you!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!
On to the disclaimer: I have given up my plan of owning warriors and instead have decided to concur the world!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Squirrelflight opened her mouth and felt her pelt bristle uncomfortably. All the other clans were there, and she knew this would be very dangerous for the clan and Silverpaw. None of the other clans knew about the silver-ish dog, whose coat was black in the darkness, lighting up when moonlight struck his pelt.
As Squirrelflight jumped atop the log leading to the island, she saw Firestar tense, the back up. Confused, she followed, and the group huddled at the edge of land.
"Silverpaw, I want you to come last, and don't respond to anything these cats say," their leader said. "Stick to the shadows."
Silverpaw didn't coment, only stared at their leader with a questioning gaze.
He doesn't even realize that he could tear any of is apart, and we wouldn't even have the time to fight back.
Firestar jumpde once more on to the log, and lead the way, Silverpaw bringing up the rear. Bursting into the clearing, Firestar and Graystripe immeadeatly headed towards the leader's tree, while Silverpaw sat near the shadows, Sunpaw beside him.
He didn't smell like a dog, thank Starclan, and it took a trained eye to see him in the bushes, his blackish coat hiding him well.
As soon as Firestar lept on to the tree the clearing quieted, and all cat's turned to listen.
"Leapardstar, would you like to start?" Onestar asked politely.
"Why not?" Leapardstar meowed. "Riverclan is doing good, and we have three more kit's. Other than that, we have nothing to report."
Blackstar stepped forward, and said, "Some two-legs have been roaming our territory, and scaring away all the prey. Shadowclan need more room to hunt."
Onestar stood up, his fur bristling. "Never, Blackstar. We agreed before, and the boundaries don't change now."
Blackstar unexpectantly sat down, and said in a cold voice, "we will get more prey. And more territory. When you least expect it."
Yowls of protest rang throught the island, and Squirrelflight aw Silverpaw almost stand up and howl as well, until Sunpaw quieted him with a flick of her tail.
Firestar had to yowl over the shocked cries of the assembled cats, and when they did, he spoke as if nothing had happened.
"Thunderclan have been doing well, and with us we have to apprentices, Sunpaw and Silver,-"
"FANG! There's fangs in the bushes! Big enough to tear apart any cat!"
Instantly there was an uproar, and many cats dashed away, while some, including Hawkfrost, sprang towards the bushes. Sunpaw stood up, her fur bristling, while many of the Thunderclan warriors did the same. No matter how much they denied it, Silverpaw had become a part of them, and would do anything to protect him.
Hawkfrost was the first. He launched himslef over Sunpaw's head and went straight for the dog's throat. Silverpaw met the attack, snapping at the cat's outstretched paws. Sunpaw joined him, as did Brackenfur. Squirrelflight ran to join them, and was blocked by the wave of cats escaping. She heard Firestar's yowl, but it did nothing, instead just scared the cats even more. Suddenly, everything went dark as the cloads covered the sky, and all cats looked up fearfully.
"Starclan has spoken, and Silverpaw is to remain in Thunderclan," Firestar yowled, anger in his voice.
"Silverpaw? That wretched beast is Silverpaw? Firestar, it's a dog! What were you thinking?" Leapardstar yowled, her voice so chocked up she could barely mew her words.
"I think this shows that kittypets should not be clan leaders. Look what they bring into our lives?" Blackstar meowed, his voice like a chip of ice.
Silverpaw spoke up and said, "don't I get a say in this?"
Hawkfrost recoiled as if stung, and hatred was in his voice as he said, "it speaks!"
It was still dark in the clearing, the moon covered by the night sky. Standing at his full height, Silverpaw was three times the size of Hawkfrost, and snarled in his face, "of course I do. What do you think I am, some dumb piece of mousedung?"
Hawkfrost spat, then looked back at his half brother for help. Brambleclaw narrowed his eyes, and, very quickly, glanced at Squirrelflight. No one noticed, save Squirrelflight herself, and she gave him a look that said, do what you want. But his fate is connected to yours.
His amber eyes looked straight into ice blue ones, and a small shake of his head signaled no. Hawkfrost stepped back, and Silverpaw lifted his lips as a snarl.
"Scared, you haunted cat?" he growled.
Hawkfrost widened his eyes in surprise, but to other emotion showed on his cold face.
"You will die, and I will be the one to kill you," Hawkfrost whispered back.
"I look forward to it."
"I hope so."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Squirrelflight stood at the entrance to the hollow. Firestar had tried to explain why Silverpaw was in the clan without giving away the prophecy, but in the end he didn't succeed. Squirrelflight shivered as the clan leader's had ganged up to bash her father, and how all except Onestar had said that he was unfit to lead his clan.
As Silverpaw jumped over the entrance, Firestar had already called a clan meating, and Squirrelflight followed hastily.
"We must be on the watch for attacks from the other clans., I'm not to worried about Windclan, they have been our allies in the past. Who I am worried about is SHadowclan, first the shortage in prey, and now this. Riverclan is a possibility, but not as likely, seeing as they live all the way across the lake."
Graystripe spoke up. "Which means training will be more frequent, and our three new warriors ready. Now that Brightheart has moved in to the nursery, expecting kits, we have that to look forward to, but still need more warriors."
"Training will be daily, and everybody must be on guard." Firestar finnished, and dismissed them with a flick of his tail. Silverpaw was looking down at the ground, his tail drooping, while Sunpaw was whisperung comfortingly in his ear.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Shadowclan attack hapened earlier than Firestar had expected.
Squirrelflight, Silverpaw, Brackenfur, Cloudtail, and Sootpaw made up the patrol that passed by Shadowclan border, and Cloudtail meowed, "Go ahead and find the boundary line."
The two apprentices nodded and dashed off, racing each other. Silverpaw was fast, but Sootpaw had always been the fastest apprentice.
Squirrelflight and the rest of the patrol followed slowly, until a howl reached their ears.
Squirrelflight dashed off, her eyes wide, while the rest of the patrol followed. Rounding some bushes,she saw Silverpaw battling with Cedarheart and Sootpaw beneath Rowanclaw's claws.
With a screech Squirrelfight knocked the ginger tom off the apprentice, the yowled, " Go and get Firestar!"
Sootpaw complied, dashing away, and Squirrelflight put all her attention to fighting the Shadowclan warrior.
"Thunderclan should be elimanated," Rowanclaw sneered, bringing his claws towards her throat. Dodging, she launched herself at her attacked, caterwauling a challenge.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Silverpaw snapped his large teeth at Cedarheart's neck, and for a second Silverpaw thought he saw a flash of fear. But then it was gone, and Cedarheart rammed his body into Silverpaw's own. He let the force carry him, reagining his balance before launching himself once more at his opponent.
He saw Brackenfur battling a cat he recognized from the gathering and the deputy Russetfur. More cats emerged, overwhealming their patrol. He saw Squirrelflight go down as three warriors tackled her,and anger fueled him Cedarheart launched himself once more. Instead of meeting the challenge, he tried a trick Comet had taught him. Lifting on to his back legs, he stood five times the height of any cat, and knocked the warrior to the ground. Holding him down with his large paws, he nipped a couple of times at Cedarheart's tail, causing him to screech in agony, before letting him go. The cat dashed back towards his own border.
Silverpaw looked around him once more, saw Squrrelflight overwhealmed, and launched himself at one of the cats. He instantly recognized the tom. Only Hawkfrost had ice blue eyes. Fear took root in him as he realized that this wasnt only Shadowclan, but Riverclan as well.
Strong muscles were hidden beneath the Riverclan warrior's fur, and he launched himself at Silverpaw. Anger beyond measure pulsed thruogh him, the reason unknown, and he started tearing at Hawkfrost madly. He saw himself reflected in Hawkfrost's eyes, and was surprised to see his eyes go red (thats how they are discribed in the books...I think).
Hawkfrost, amazongly, retreated immeadeatly, his cold eyes promising the dog something. Satisfied, Silverpaw bent down and snatched up another cat, shook it, then let it go flying. It landed with a thud, and Silverpaw recognized Blackclaw stagger to his paws before retreating.
Suddenly a angry caterwaul sounded through the meadow, and Firestar and half a dozen of his warriors burst through, not everning the numbers, but definitably saved them. Silverpaw watched in admiration as his leader tackled a Riverclan warrior and immeadeatly sent him running for cover.
Squirrelflight stood up, covered in scratches, and tiredly launched herself at the nearest enemy. Silverpaw's heart lurched. Would they make it?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
When Sootpaw had ran into camp, his sides heaving, and told her father about the attack on their patrol, with both Shadowclan and Riverclan, Leafpool immeadeatly froze, then dashed when no one was looking towards Windclan border.
Faster than she thought possible she raced over familiar groung, and didn't even stop when she met the border. Still running, she headed towards where she thought camp might be.
As she neared the heart of Windclan territory she started to smell the scent of the clan cats, and without hesitation ran straight into camp.
Straight into Crowfeather.
(Should I leave it here??? Nah...)
He was staring at her in shock, and she at him, when Ashfoor pushed her way to the front, her pelt bristling.
"What are you doing here, dog-lover?" She snarled.
"I need to talk to Onestar," she managed out.
"You do not!" Ashfoot snarled, unsheathing her claws, when the Windclan leader stepped forward.
"What do you need, Leafpool?" he asked, no emotion in his voice.
"Riverclan and Shadowclan are attacking," she stammered, not caring who heard.
"And why should we help you?" A voice called out from the back.
"Quiet Tornear. If Firestar need our help, we will help him," Onestar meowed.
Leafpool let out the breath she hadn't known she had been holding, and saw Crowfeather looking at her worridly.
"Please, hurry," she whispered.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Squirrelflight's whole body shook, and she felt like she just wanted to fall to the ground. The warrior she had been fighting. she didn't know who, laughed, before launching himself once more at her.She closed her eyes, waiting for the killing blow, when a dark tabby thrust his way in between them, fighting like a warrior of Lionclan. When the enemy retreated she saw it was Brambleclaw who had saved her, and was now pushing her towards the bushes.
"Go back to camp," he ordered. "And have Leafpool tend your wounds."
She stubornly shook her head, but complied, whispering, "thank you." Brambleclaw gave no indication he had heard, instead launched himself at the next attacker.
She saw Rainwhisker go down, two Shadowclan cat's mercilessly clawing at him, when Berryfur broke them apart, one of his eyes swollen shut. He was tackled as well, and though he faught with all his strength, he too was overwhelmed.
Mousepelt rushed to his brother's side, fighting, one of his ears torn and a long gash along his flank. Tackling who Squirrelflight now recognized as Voletooth, Silverpaw joined them, grasping Swallowtail by the scruff and flung her in to the bushes. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Brambleclaw flinch, as if he knew how being flung in to a tree felt.
Cloudtail crawled beside her, his pure white pelt now red with blood, mostly his own.
"There is to many, even with all our warriors," he rasped.
"Starclan help us," Squirrelflight murmered, trying to stand, but the throat wound she had received had made her loose a lot of blood, and she sank weakly to the floor once more.
There seemed to be only a couple Thunderclan warriors left fighting, and even as she watched more troops emerged. One of them included Tawnypelt, who half-heartidly launched herself at Dustpelt.
Firestar was on the ground, and he appeared dead, until he stood once more and helped his deputy, Graystripe, fight off Leopardstar and Stonestream.
All odds were against them. They were going to lose.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Silverpaw felt his strength weaken more, and his next attack seemed to be even more tiring than the last one. It was when 5 warriors launched themselves togethor at the dog that he finally collapsed.
That's when more arrived.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Leafpool ran as fast as she could, he heart racing. Crowfeather ran beside her, and a patrol of over half of Windclan followed.
She saw Sunpaw, the apprentice, bolt from some bushes, and when she saw more of what she must;ve thought was enemy warriors, sank to the ground like a frightened kit.
Leafpool rushed over to the bracken-colored she-cat, and signalled for the reast of the patrol to keep moving. They were close enough to hear fighting, and it sounded like Thunderclan was losing.
Another cat burst from the bushes, and Leafpool could barely recognize Spiderleg. He looked up at her with wide eyes, and stamered, "they are too many. Help them."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Silverpaw barely managed to open his eyes when another patrol birst through, but instead of attacking the remaining Thunderclan warriors they snarled defience at the enemy. He heard Firestar's grateful yowl, and felt some strength return to him. They might actually have a chance.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thats all for this chapter...
Kinda long, huh? You guy's deserve it...infact, I want to keep on typing, so I'll start the next chapter!
