Okay next chapter up
I've been doing fairly well I'm reading the new Artemis Fowl book and have found my little sister's weakness.
Warriors belongs to Erin Hunter
Redfern looked at Firesoul's grave, next to her Moonpaw sat. In the dawn's weak sun their pelts glimmered.
In the midst of New Leaf the grave was covered with blood red flowers. It was then that Redfern figured out.
"Moonpaw," her apprentice looked up at her with her one eye "I know how we can find Duskfang."
X0X
Willowleaf opened her leaf green eyes as sunlight creped through the leaves, moss and sticks of the warriors den.
She starred out for awhile when suddenly she felt a movement beside her. For some reason she thought it was Duskfang but she quickly told herself that that was wrong. Duskfang was gone. The image of him killing Warscar was imprinted into her mind. His cold emotionless eyes and blood covered muzzle. She shivered at the thought of it.
"Willowleaf? Are you okay?"
The she-cat turned to Eagleflight whom was beside her. She nodded "Just a passing thought." she said. She could see his amber eyes looking at her worryingly; he knew that her passing thoughts usually concerned Duskfang. But in those eyes she could see a small glimmer of something else. Jealousy. But it was so faint that Willowleaf might just be imagining it.
The two warriors walked out of the den stretching themselves out of sleep as they did.
"Willowleaf, Eagleflight come over here." They heard their deputy call. Beside him was Burntfur, Swiftclaw, Loudpaw, SweetpawTop of Form
, and Eagleflight's sister Dawnbird.
The two walked up to them.
"I need you two for hunting patrol." Lionfang said. His golden pelt shimmered in the morning sun. He signaled them with his white tipped tail.
"I'm sorry Lionfang but I'll be needing them," Their leader trotted up to the group of cats she looked at them, "You too Dawnbird." The gray she-cat blinked then nodded.
"What's going on? Did they do something bad?" Loudpaw asked noisily. Burntfur snapped at her to be quiet.
The three warriors followed Thymestar as she led them to her den, inside was Redfern and her apprentice Moonpaw.
Willowleaf twitched her tail, surprised. If it wasn't important she was sure that the leader and the medicine cat wouldn't be in the same room.
They all sat down and Thymestar was the first to speak.
"Last night Redfern, Moonpaw and I went to Silver Tree and received a prophecy." Thymestar nodded to Redfern.
"We are to find the cat that'll save the future of the clan."
Dawnbird tilted her head "Who is it?" she asked.
Redfern looked at the queen "'Born a rogue, raised as a warrior, banned as a traitor, The Outcast will be our savior.' Sound like someone we know?" she asked.
Willowleaf felt like she had fallen into icy water and looked up at the three highest ranking cats in shock. No…it can't be.
"Du-Duskfang? He's going to save us all?" Eagleflight asked bewildered.
The three she-cats nodded.
A moment of silence passed.
Dawnbird blinked "Why are you telling us this?" she asked. Out of the three warriors she was the less thunderstruck and had picked herself up faster.
"You three where the closest to Duskfang, when he was in the clan" Redfern answered "So we're sending you three to find him and to bring him back to Nightclan."
Eagleflight had finally gotten over his shock "How are we supposed to find him?" he asked. "No one has seen him in moons."
Redfern picked up her paw hanging by it was a red flower it had five petals and its color reminded Willowleaf of blood. "You have to follow these."
"What?" Willowleaf had finally found her own voice "We're supposed to follow flowers?"
"A trail of them actually." She said, putting the flower down. "A moon after his exile Duskfang's scent was found in Nightclan territory."
Willowleaf nodded remembering the search and waiting for Duskfang to pop up for revenge. At least the way the elders had been speaking had made everyone think that.
"It led to his mother's grave."
"His mother's grave?" Eagleflight flicked his ear. "He risked his life to visit a grave?"
"You know Duskfang better then that, he's not dumb. But he does love his mother, and he wanted something to remember her by. These flowers cover her grave."
"Wait… What?" Dawnbird blinked "He took seeds from the grave?"
Redfern nodded. "On her grave there's a spot where flowers are missing and where Duskfang's scent trail was last year. I found two of these following it. And Moonpaw left Nightclan territory and was able to find another one. That's the trail you must follow, the blood of a flame."
The three warriors suddenly felt like a heavy weight had been put on their shoulders. And in a way it had, they where to be sent on a mission in the name of Nightclan and Starclan, to find someone they had marked off as a traitor with nothing more then a trail of red flowers to follow, and who knew how far off Duskfang was?...And if they did find him how he would react to them.
Willowleaf felt herself become detached as the image of Duskfang killing Warscar filled her mind, his cold glowing golden eyes filled her with dread.
"So we can only follow the flowers? But what if after that he doesn't drop anymore…"
Redfern silenced Dawnbird with a flick of her tail "Do you honestly think that Duskfang could keep a hold of seeds without dropping any of them? All the seeds he dropped should be blooming now that it's New Leaf."
"But how are we supposed to follow them? If they're so far apart that we can't follow them, then what?" Eagleflight asked.
The medicine cat apprentice Moonpaw spoke for the first time, her silver eye sparked with her thoughts "Follow the scent then."
"Huh?" Willowleaf this time.
"Although the scent of the flower is faint," Moonpaw picked up the flower "it is unique and it goes far." Her one silver eye blinked at them.
Willowleaf took in the scent and suddenly felt like she was in the nursery a kit again snuggled next to her mother the scent of milk, motherhood and love and even faintly the scent of blood.
"It's not much but it's our best chance." Thymestar said. "You three are to find Duskfang and bring him back."
Willowleaf knew she couldn't reject the order now, The leader's word was law. That was the warrior code. Not even for this. Or the little bump that seemed to be forming on her stomach.
Thymestar had just made the announcement and the clan was in a frenzy from the news that the traitor was being called upon by Starclan. But no one questioned it.
The three warriors being sent had eaten they're traveling herbs and were ready to go.
Then a familiar face joined them. Adderstripe.
"Good luck." The brown tabby warrior said.
Willowleaf looked at him, for the first time she realized that he was skinny for a clan cat living in New Leaf. He looked at them, he looked like he was facing something bravely although Willowleaf didn't know what exactly.
He gave a thin smile and then spoke again. "May Starclan light your paths." He turned around and left them.
The three warriors looked at each other then left the camp on to a journey with only a trail of blood flowers to lead them and no clue how long it would take.
And some of us have other things to worry about… Willowleaf thought, as she could've sworn she felt something nudge in her belly.
What do you think? Please review.
Anyway they're finally on they're way! Say nay if you can't wait to see Duskfang again!
