Jay(me): Hi guys! I am back!
Dapplepaw: Who are you talking to?
Jay: All my adoring fans. What about you?
Dapplepaw: Um...
Cherrypaw: Hey guys, what is up?
Dapplepaw: I am talking to Cherrypaw. Isn't that right, Cherrypaw?
Cherrypaw: Um... What did I walk into?
Jay: Not sure.
Cherrypaw: Neither am I.
Dapplepaw: Ugh, let me tell you what I know.
(murmuring)
Jay: Well, lets get onto the story because this might take a while.
(Dapplepaw POV)
"Get up! Firestar wishes to see you."
*yawn* "Okay, Jayfeather." I sit up and give myself a quick groom so I look presentable in-front of my Clan leader when I go see what I did now. Did I accidentally eat on a hunting patrol, again? Was I on dawn patrol and forgot it? Or does he just want to talk about my warrior ceremony? Oh no! Has he decided I failed my last assessment?! I get out of my nest and pad out into a very empty camp. Wow, that is weird. Suddenly I find myself in Firestar's den. Even weirder! I am positive I did not walk up here, let alone ask permission to come in. Better ask now. "Firestar, may I come," farther "in?"
"Yes." I pad in even farther to see him sitting in his nest with a glint in his eye. Oh no. "Dapplepaw, did you kill Cherrypaw?" Firestar booms in a surprisingly deep voice.
"What?! Why would I kill my sister?!" I shriek. "She is my best friend! Give me one reason why I would kill her!"
"Perhaps, you are jealous of her. It does not matter though, follow me outside." All of a sudden, Firestar ids on Highledge and I am beneath it. Ok, this appearing everywhere is starting to freak me out! "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting." Cats start appearing in the clearing without even exiting dens or entering camp. Where did they come from? I can identify Leafpool, Crowfeather, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, Squirrelflight, Wolfspirit, and Brambleclaw's faces in the clearing, everyone else I can not recognize.
"Dapplepaw has killed Cherrypaw and I have decided her punishment." What?! I did not kill her!
"Kill her!"
"Make her become a kittypet!"
"No!" My parents scream in unison. "Just have her take care of the elders for a few moons." I glance at my parents gratefully for giving me the best option for staying in the clan.
"Silence, all of you! Spirits of Starclan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what she is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on she will be known as Fox for her fox-hearted decision of killing her sister." What?!
"That isn't cruel enough!" A random cat calls out.
"Silence! I was not done. Fox, you are exiled from all the clans. If anyone sees you, they will run you out of their territory, or even kill you. Meeting over." Exiled!?
"Get out of our territory!"
"You deserve to die!"
"Get her!" A bunch of cats start jumping on me and forcing me through the camp entrance, Crowfeather and Leafpool leading them, no longer looking sorry for me, just mad and crazed. Exiled?! I race through the forest and past a weird lopsided tree I have never seen the likes of.
Exiled.
Exiled.
Exiled.
I am now exiled.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Dapplepaw, Dapplepaw, get up!"
"What?"
"You were twitching a lot and kept saying the word 'exiled'. What is wrong?" I shake my head to figure out where I am, shouldn't I be running? Not in the medicine cat's den with Crowfeather and Cherrypaw staring at me like I am mad? Am I mad?
"It… it was just… a bad dream. It is fine." Cherrypaw gives Crowfeather a look that says, 'Please leave, I will try to figure it out.'
"Why don't we go on a walk and you can tell me about it?"
"Shouldn't you be resting?"
"Besides having an unknown sickness, she is fine. Make sure both of you don't go very far, though." I turn my head around to see Jayfeather in the entrance to the den with herbs in his mouth.
"Thanks Jayfeather. I will come back if I start feeling weird." Cherrypaw mews gratefully to our older brother. "Come on Dapplepaw, I know the perfect place." I sigh and follow my sister into the camp clearing.
"Oh look; the killer is out, everybody run for your lives!"
"Shut up, Moonpaw!" Cherrypaw says.
"Oh, come on, you know I was just joking."
"Whatever." We continue walking towards the camp entrance and I notice a patrol consisting of Lionblaze, Goldenlight, Dovewing, and Wolfspirit coming in the entrance.
"Hi guys!" I say as cheerfully as I can muster.
"Hi, Dapplepaw! Hi Cherrypaw!" Wolfspirit mumbles around the prey in her mouth. "Where are you guys going to?"
"Dapplepaw wants to tell me about a dream she had last night, so we are going out of camp to talk."
"Oh, okay, have fun!"
"Thanks," I mutter darkly. Wolfspirit looks at me, then Cherrypaw, apparently confused. All she gets for an explanation is a shrug from Cherrypaw, saying she has no idea either.
"Um… okay then, by, I guess."
"By."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Wow. What do you think it means?"
"I don't think it means anything." I just told Cherrypaw about my dream, and she is very concerned and worried.
"Do you really believe that the clan thinks you attempted to kill me?"
"Yeah. Did you not feel the stares of hatred they were giving me? The only people that I saw that were being nice to me were Jayfeather, Crowfeather, Leafpool, Wolfspirit, Brambleclaw, Lionblaze, and Squirrelflight."
"Just like in your dream."
"I know. Let's head back to camp, I feel better now. Thanks Cherrypaw." I lied, I don't feel any better.
"Okay." We emerge from a little ditch surrounded by bramble's that is right next to the camp entrance but soundproof for the most part. We walk back into the clearing to here Firestar call a meeting.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting." What is going on? "Dapplepaw, please step forward." Am I getting my warrior name now?! What about Cherrypaw? "Most of the Clan believes that Dapplepaw attempted to kill Cherrypaw, and I have decided her punishment." No, no, no, no, no! It can't be happening!
"Kill her!"
"Make her become a kittypet!"
"No!" My parents scream in unison. "Just have her take care of the elders for a few moons." It won't help.
"Silence, all of you! Spirits of Starclan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what she is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on she will be known as Fox for her fox-hearted decision of killing her sister." It has come true! Firestar continues in a hushed voice so only I can hear. "I am sorry, Fox. I don't know what to believe. I don't believe you were trying to kill your sister, but I can not have the Clan believe one of my warriors is a killer." Apparently some of the Clan takes the silence to their ears, a sign that Firestar is done.
"That isn't cruel enough!" A random cat calls out.
"Silence! I was not done. Fox, you are exiled from all the clans. If anyone sees you, they will run you out of their territory, or even kill you. Meeting over." Exiled!? "I am sorry, Fox."
"Get out of our territory!"
"You deserve to die!"
"Get her!" A bunch of cats start jumping on me and forcing me through the camp entrance. Exiled?! I race through the forest and towards the horseplace. 'Meet me at the horseplace at moonhigh on the next halfmoon.' I hear Cherrypaw try to send to me by picturing very hard moonhigh, halfmoon, and horseplace.
Exiled.
Exiled.
Exiled.
I am now exiled, for real this time.
Dapplepaw: And birds don't fly! There, I am done.
O.o
Cherrypaw/Jay: ?
Dapplepaw: What?
Cherrypaw: There is a funny patch of fur standing up on your head!
Dapplepaw: (shrieks) What?!
Jay: Noooo, the real reason we are staring at you is because you were just talking for 30 minutes, didn't listen to the story, and birds DO fly.
Dapplepaw: No they don't.
Jay: Yes they do.
Dapplepaw: No they don't.
Jay: Yes they do.
Dapplepaw: No they don't.
(30 minutes after fighting like this)
Jay: Yes they do.
Dapplepaw: Yes they don't.
Jay: Ha!
Dapplepaw: Wait, oh! Man! Wait, did you say I didn't listen to the story?!
Cherrypaw: Yep.
(30 minutes later, Dapplepaw finished reading the story.)
Dapplepaw: (shrieks) What?! Why is my name now 'Fox'?!
Jay: Hey, I just go with the flow. I was going to write a short story that I now realize would have been REALLY boring, but my mind took me here.
Cherrypaw: Ha, ha. You are now called Fox!
Fox: Shut up!
Jay: While they continue fighting, I will get to the real purpose of this note.
Hollyflame: I never said you were dumb! You will find out soon, probably next chapter.
bluefurbluestar: Thanks for reading and submitting a cat! I will try to use it. Thanks, it doesn't really hurt anymore unless I move it certain ways or put a bunch of pressure on it.
TO EVERYBODY: I think I have enough cats now, so please do not submit anymore cats. You may submit them, but I probably will not use them in this story, thanks!
Robinpaw: !) (#*$&%! )(#$*&% is 10 9384751 0934875 .
Thia Superstar: Thanks, but I can't get it. My parents said no when I asked them.
Hey, I will soon be posting a new story that me and a friend are writing together, so keep an eye out for it! Please review/favorite/follow, I won't bite.
Disclaimer: jayleaf1 does not own Warriors, Erin Hunter does. Anyone that says otherwise will, (Cherrypaw and Fox roll over Jay while still fighting)
Cherrypaw: Ha! I won. (Holding down Fox)
Fox: No, I did! (Jumps out from under Cherrypaw and they start fighting again)
Cherrypaw: Jay, who won? (Both cats turn to watch Jay answer the question) OMGSC! Jay, what happened to you?! (Both rush over to the crushed Jay) I will fight whoever did this! Don't you worry!
Jay: (Continues Disclaimer weakly)...will, get trampled by these two. (Turns head slightly to see the cats) You both did. Tell... the readers... school... starts up... tomorrow... can't... promise... when... I will... update... (Passes out, or dies. Whichever, it doesn't really matter.)
Cherrypaw/Fox: (Wailing) NO! Now who will update our story?!
Jay: Never fear! When I die, I can decide to die or live. I am like a Clan leader.
Cherrypaw/Fox: o.O
