Bookworm45669: Thanks, what type of phone?
Ivory
"And dodge and kick and, good job Ivory!" Blade complimented his apprentice. Ivory shook her fur, shaking sand from it. "Better then even I could have done." Alpha praised the young tsilver she-cat. "Thank you." Ivory purred.
"You're going to have to teach me how to do that!" A ginger apprentice meowed, looking at Robin with wide eyes. "Stop the flattery guys! It was just lucky." Ivory told them, her eyes twinkling.
"You deserve it though." Ivory replied, her long silver tail swishing. "Quill would've said the same thing if he were here." Robin flicked her ears. "True,"
"I think that's enough for today, you all can get some prey and have a rest." Alpha told the three apprentices. "Great!" The ginger apprentice bounded off and then paused, beckoning at the two sisters. "Come on slowpokes!" She grinned. "We're coming Red!"
Several Moons Before from Ivory's point of view
"Slash you will train Red." Luna flicked her tail and the two cats touched noses. "Well, Red." Robin padded over to the newly apprenticed cat. "Slash is a good mentor, I'm sure he will train you well." Robin mewed to Red.
"Thanks Robin! One day I'll be as good as Quill!" Robin glanced at the dark brown tabby tom, talking Flame. "He isn't that good." Ivory sniffed, slightly jealous of the attention Quill was getting.
"Hey guys, Flame wanted to ask if we could take Red on a tour of the territory, all of the mentors are going to discuss something." Quill meowed. "Oh sure, that'd be fine." Robin answered the tom before Ivory could reply with a snappy retort.
Slightly later that day
"I bet you wouldn't catch that fish!" Ivory dared Quill, pointing at a large trout in the water. "Uh," Quill frowned at the river, his ears flicking. "Ha! I bet you can't even swim!" Red joined in on the teasing, her tail waving. "I don't think that's a good idea." Robin meowed, frowning. "Oh lighten up Robin! The river isn't even deep!" Ivory nudged her sister playfully.
"I'll do it." Quill hesitated. "Hurry up!" Ivory gave Quill a large shove, forcing him face down into the water. "Hey!" Quill sputtered as he struggled for a grip. His claws slashed through the water, scrambling to find the sandy bottom. "Help!" Quill yowled as he struggled to keep his head above the water.
On the shore it looked to Ivory that Quill was just faking it. "Stop acting Quill!" She yowled. "I know you missed the fish, you can come back now!" Red added.
"I-" Quill started, but before he could finish his head dipped underneath the water. "Quill?" Robin peered into the water anxiously while Ivory paced the shore impatiently. "He's not coming up." Red meowed, and Ivory could hear a tinge of fear.
"Guys! Help!" Ivory's head snapped to the side and saw Quill being swept down stream by the current. "We're coming!" Robin yowled and tore down the beach with Ivory and Red hot on his heels.
"He's heading straight towards Cliff Falls!" Ivory yowled, her fur bristling with fear. Nobody could fall and survive. That was how Red's brother, Thorn, died.
"Help! Anyone!" Red yowled loudly into the forest, hoping to find a patrol, full of warriors that could save Quill.
"Red!" Alpha's voice yowled in response. "Hurry!" She screeched and within heartbeats Alpha and Blade bounded onto the beach.
"Quill!" Blade gasped and dove into the the river, his paws thrumming strongly in the water, slowly making his way to the small scrap of fur in the rushing water.
White bubbles foamed around them, and soon everyone lost view of them. Alpha crouched on the beach, his tail lashing anxiously.
"I see them!" Ivory reported as she saw Blade's dusty brown head poke through the water. "I've got him!" Blade yowled through Quill's scruff and he started to lug the apprentice back to shore. Alpha padded out into the shallows and helped pull the tom to shore.
Blade had gotten the tom just in time, they were a few foxlengths away from flying over the deadly waterfall.
"Get Breeze!" Alpha snapped at Robin, but the black she-cat came bounding out of woods. "Already here," She panted. "I heard all the commotion and came to see what it was all about. I'm glad I came." Breeze pressed her paws to Quill's chest.
Ivory looked at the sodden body of Quill, and her fur bristled "He isn't breathing!" Ivory yowled. Ivory turned away and hid her face in her paws as Breeze rapidly started to massage Quill's chest.
Ivory padded over to Quill. "Wake up." She growled. The white she-cat's eyes glittered. "Wake up." She snarled at the unconscious tom again. "Ivory?" Robin tried to comfort her sister but Ivory gave her a warning glare. "WAKE UP!" Ivory yowled into Quill's ears and slowly the tom opened his sky-blue eyes.
"Heh, hey Ivory. Did I oversleep?" He whispered quietly, reaching up to lick Ivory's cheek. Then he started to rapidly cough up water. Breeze smiled "Good Quill, just keep coughing. It will get the water out of your system."
Finally Breeze announced that Quill would be fine after a few days of rest. "Let's get you home." Alpha said to the brown tom, carefully picking him up by the scruff and carrying him back to camp. All the way back Ivory replayed the scene where Quill had licker her cheek.
Several weeks later, still Ivory's point of view
Ivory sat next to Quill, basking in the moonlight. They were outside of camp in a field called The Meadow. Many flowers and pretty birds lived in this meadow, which made it a nice place for the elders to be and mates to be with each other.
"Ivory." Quill turned to the silver she-cat, his sky blue eyes reflecting the silver of the moon. "I have something to tell you." He took a deep breath. "I know we will be warriors soon, the assessments are coming. But as you know, I will be leaving to spy on Bloodclan in a few days. I will not get my warrior rank, I might even die."
Ivory opened her mouth to say something but Quill interrupted. "Just hear me out, ever since the accident at the river we've started to spend more time together. Every moment I spend with you is the new most happiest moment of my life. I, I love you Ivory." Quill finished.
Ivory looked at Quill, loving every of this moment. The way his ears twitched, the way the moonlight shone in his fur, and the loving echo in the back of Quill's eyes.
"I love you to Quill." She breathed.
Two days after Quill left. (The present)
"I welcome you, as full warriors of Nightclan." Luna meowed loudly, her clear voice ringing around the cave.
"Ivory! Robin! Ivory! Robin!" The clan chanted. Ivory felt a pang of sadness, Quill should be standing next to her, his eyes gleaming with happiness as the clan cheered his name to.
"I miss Quill." Ivory sighed, turning to her sister. "I do too." Robin agreed, her tail drooping slightly.
"Oh man! I can't believe your already warriors!" Red rushed over to them, her tail waving wildly. "We're still friends, right?" The dark ginger she-cat looked at the two littermates. "Of course, why wouldn't we be?" Robin replied, frowning. "Oh, I just saw how Rain used to be friends with Lightning when he was still an apprentice but then they broke up." Red meowed, glancing at the rainy-blue speckled she-cat and the ginger tom.
"Well that's not going to happen to us." Robin declared. "Yeah." Ivory echoed. "Good." Red seemed satisfied as she walked away.
Later
"Just a few more days until the battle." Robin meowed. "I wonder if Quill is liking Bloodclan." Red wondered. "What?" Ivory's head snapped over to Red. "I mean, Quill has been hanging out with Bloodclan for a few days, there's a possibility that he's starting to become loyal to Bloodclan. He could betray Nightclan." Red explained.
Without warning Ivory pounced on the smaller she-cat, growling. "Don't say that about him! We would not betray anyone, not me, not you, not Luna, not Nightclan! Now get that out of your head immediately." Ivory snarled, digging unsheathed claws into Red's shoulders.
"Ivory!" Robin made to shove Ivory off but quickly retreated when she saw Ivory's stony glare. "Stay out of this sister." Ivory growled.
Without another word Ivory stood up and padded away, her pelt getting swallowed up by the shadows of the forest.
Ivory seems a little protective of Quill in the last few paragraphs.
QuillXIvory = *Fangirl squeal* Aww yeah!
Also just a little heads up
This story might end a little early, if so I will have 25 chapters, with maybe short scenes, history, anything you might want. There will be an epilogue, and I'm planning a sequel!
Finally, I need you to choose your favorite Bloodclan character, and you favorite Nightclan character for special reasons that involve the final battle. You can say it in your reviews or in a poll I'm creating. You must answer before, (I'l let you know in the chapter before the thing I need your favorite characters for) happens. So my hands are really really tired right now! :D
