A/N- okay guys this is seriously getting old. I CAN see how many hits my story gets, and it confuses me that I have 58 hits but only 3 reviews. And no repeat reviewers, just three on the first chapter. I understand if you hate the fic, but can you at least tell me what I did wrong in a review? Then we can both go on our merry way.
Disclaimer- no, I don't freaking own Warriors, if you think I do, you're an idiot.
Chapter 3- Moonhigh Meetings
Swiftpup curled up between her foster mother and sister in the nursery, feeling happier and safer than she'd ever been. She heaved a content sigh and allowed her eyes to close slowly as she entered the world of dreams.
Swiftpup shivered, she was so cold. She opened her eyes to find herself in a small clearing. Two dogs sat facing her a few tail-lengths away.
"Greetings Swiftpup," said the one on the right, a pretty silver and black mastiff with red eyes, "we've been waiting for you."
Swiftpup stared, transfixed, for a few moments before she managed to stutter "Wh-who are you?"
This time the dog on her left, a fiery red Irish setter with steely gray eyes, answered, "I am Burningheart, the deputy of ThunderClan before Darkclaw, and this is Silverflame, the medicine dog before Burningpelt. We've come to tell you something."
Did they mean a prophecy? For her? "Shouldn't you be talking to Spiritstar or Burningpelt? I'm just a pup."
"No Swiftpup, this message is for you." Burningheart said gravely.
At this time, Silverflame spoke in a far-off voice, her eyes distant, "Heritage is against her, as is the Clan, but one of our enemies becomes our friend, and is the one to save us all." When she finished, she sat for a moment with her eyes closed and her head bowed.
Swiftpup's mind was reeling. What did it all mean? She closed her eyes for a few moments, and when she opened them, Burningheart and Silverflame were gone. Swiftpup whipped around, straining her eyes for a hint of red or silver, but all she could see was the pitch black woods.
Then she spotted them: a set of eyes, cold as leaf-bare ice, yet fierce as a Greenleaf storm, and burning with such loathing it shocked her very core. She had to get away, had to hide from those eyes, so she turned and ran. It was no use, more sets of eyes appeared, following her.
She heard a faint voice, "Remember…" it echoed. It was Burningheart!
"Where are you? Help me!" Swiftpup howled, but he gave no answer.
His voice, joined by Silverflame, simply chanted, "Remember… Remember…" over and over again.
Swiftpup just kept running faster until she eventually collapsed and was swallowed by darkness.
Swiftpup sprang up, her heart hammering in her chest. She whirled around, panting, until her dream faded and the soft murmuring and even breathing of the queens and pups surrounded and warmed her like her mother's fur. Sighing, Swiftpup curled up again and attempted to get to sleep. It was no use, the few stars she could see out the entrance of the nursery seemed to be calling her, begging her to join them out in the night air.
Finally succumbing to their call, Swiftpup stood and padded nimbly out of the nursery. Once outside, she wandered around the camp, not really going anywhere. She was passing Spiritstar's den when she heard dogs speaking.
"Do you really think it means her?" That was Burningpelt.
Swiftpup began to back away, not wanting to eavesdrop when she heard Spiritstar say, "Well the Clan certainly showed that they were against her today, but how can such a little pup save us?"
"And from what?" Burningpelt continued, "The other Clans are always a threat, and the only other enemy we have are the half-breeds…"
After a moment of silence, Spiritstar said "Do you think…"
"Possibly." Burningpelt interrupted her, "But for now we'll just have to wait, and watch."
Swiftpup then heard a rustling inside the den and sped back to the nursery before she could be discovered, more confused than ever.
A/N- another short one, I know. I hope it was good anyway. You know how I can know if it was good? If you REVIEW!!! Please just at least tell me how I'm doing with the story, you don't HAVE to do any of the other stuff if you don't want to (but the other stuff would make me happy too.)
