I am going to try to update as much as possible for these first chapters. R&R! Thank you: Rainstorm-Mosspath, 'looks at name tag', Just Blitz and J1210 for R&Ring my story! You all get a cookie -gives cookie to them-
Now here is the second chapter! R&R!
I leapt up, fur bristling. "Mother!" I yowled. "Fire!" I ran over to her still sleeping silver body and prodded her until she woke. "Fire." She meowed, voice thick with fear as she saw and smelled the smoke. "Run! Go to the river!"
I bolted out of the cave with Icestream hot on my tail. I burst out of the cave just as another bolt of lightning lit the sky. I screeched and froze. "Sunpaw! Come on! We need to get to the river!" I heard my mother call in a voice laced with terror. I broke from the trance the flames had me in and bolted to my mother's side. And we streaked through the burning forest with burning branches and logs falling down all around us.
A hissing sounded and a downpour started, and I sent a silent thanks to StarClan. The smoke was now thickening as the flames were dying by rain.
The river came into sight, no flames on the other side, my heart leapt, we would be safe! If we could only cross the river then we would be safe from the lightning still streaking through the forest despite the rain. We neared the river and slowed, panting and out of breath. Dread filled me, the river had burst its banks and was raging, like a lion of LionClan. I knew that if any cat fell in there they would most surely die.
"Quick, Sunpaw! I see a log over there that we can use to cross!" I pinpointed my mother's call, noticing it came from far downstream. I never thought I would be so happy to hear her call in my life. I ran down to her. "Let's cross here. It looks slippery so use your claws and be careful. You should go first." "Mother!" I protested. "What if you can't make it across? I can't leave you!" "Don't worry; I will be right behind you. You'll be alright." I nodded, too terrified to speak.
I jumped onto the log, claws unsheathed, smoke making my eyes and throat hurt. I could barley see where I was going. I forced myself to look straight ahead. Then I looked down, mouse dung. In seeing the raging torrent of water rushing underneath me, I yowled in terror and ran ahead on the log. And fell.
White that was all I saw as I plunged under the water. I paddled up to the surface, fighting the current that was pulling me down. I only had time to grab a quick breath of air before another swell swept me under. I couldn't breath. It felt as if there was something blocking my lungs and I panicked. I desperately tried paddling up again, but every time my head broke the surface another swell came and took me under. I thrust my head up in one final attempt to breathe and saw my mother pelting next to the river, trying to find some place where it would be safe for her to try and jump in as well as avoiding the still flaming trees along the bank. I yowled, filled with pure fear as loud as I ever had before, before another swell swept me under and the world was swept away from me.
Thoughts raced through my head: "Will I ever get to see my mother again? Am I going to die? If I die will I go to StarClan?"
Don't worry, young one, your time has not yet come to join StarClan. "Then what is happening!?" I yowled, louder than I would have to. You just swallowed too much water and fell unconscious. You will be alright, but beware of the fury coming your way. What do you mean? Wait! Don't go!
I cried desperately as the cat padded away. She didn't turn back. A voice wound around me, sweet as honey.
Beware the fury….Beware…Beware….. Then I was falling through an endless blackness.
I felt the water rushing around me once again. I was cold, yet it was still leaffall, the water was nearly leafbare cold. The terror and panic rushed back to me. Then I felt something tugging at my fur as a swell of water swept me under and I blacked out once more.
Soo.......how'd you like it? I know it is short, but my beta, Firestorm75 told me i should just post it anyways, so i did. Don't get mad at Firestorm75 though. I promise, promise, promise that the next chapter will be much longer and i will start typing it as soon as i get two reviews and will post it asap. Any suggestions of how to make the chapters longer are appriciated! Please, no flames.
