It's Spring Break! Yay! Hope you guys enjoy!
Guest: Thanks for your review, it made my day to know somebody tried to answer my question. I am sorry, but I couldn't understand what you were trying to say. Thanks for trying though! I have an idea now what will happen, thanks to you!
(Fox POV)
When I open my eyes, I am in a meadow. The birds are chattering, butterflies are everywhere, and the sun is brightly shining. I open my mouth to take a breath of the sun warmed air, and prey scent floods my senses so much that I stagger just a bit. Since it is mid-leafbare in the Clans and I haven't been outside of the tunnels in days, abundant prey is not a familiar scent. I have only scented this much prey in one place a few times- all of which are in Starclan. I shrug my shoulders and pad over to a large, flat rock and lie down to bask in the warmth of the sun. It feels like moons since I have felt the sun on my pelt. My ears flicker to the side when I hear paw steps approaching.
"Fox, is that you?" I get up and turn around to face my littermate- Whitekit. Starlight is shining in my sister's pelt, but faintly. It probably has something to do with the fact that we are in Starclan right now.
"What do you want, Whitekit?" I wince because my meow comes out much harsher than I meant for it to be. I can tell that my sister heard my tone because she flinches also.
"Well, I just thought you would like to know," She begins harshly, "that Starclan is doing you a favor, sister." She hisses at me.
"Shut up! Starclan needs to stop doing me favors." I scream. The fur on the nape of my neck is bristling now.
"Oh," She drawls and rolls her eyes. "when has Starclan ever done you a favor?" Okay, that's it. When someone gets me mad, I say stuff I don't mean, or do I mean it…? Well, this is one of those times.
"They did me a favor when they let you die and let Cherrypaw live!" I hiss in anger.
My words seem to hit my littermate like a badger. She staggers back, with her ears flat, and her eyes cloudy. I suddenly realize what I just did. "Oh, Whitekit, I am so sorry." My fur is still bristling but it is falling, not fast enough though.
"Get away from me! I hate you!" Whitekit rushes into some bushes at the edge of the meadow and disappears from sight.
"Whitekit! Wait!" I rush towards the bushes my littermate just disappeared in. "Wait!" I shout as I push myself to the other side. Whitekit isn't there. Starclan is slowly fading before my eyes.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
When I open my eyes again, I see total darkness. I blink a few times for my eyes to adjust to the sudden darkness. When I can finally see again, Hollyleaf is on one side of me and Falling Leaves is on the other side.
"Get away from me!" I shout at Hollyleaf. I push myself up in my nest so I am standing on three legs.
"Why? What did I do?" She asks, very confused.
"Everything!" Geez, I am starting to sound like a spoiled kit.
"What did Hollyleaf do?" Falling Leaves asks as he puts his tail on my shoulders, trying to push me down. I am not about to let him think he is my superior, though.
"Because of her, my sister hates me!" My fur is bristling and my hackles are rising as I glare at the black she-cat. I know my words are not true, but I need to take my anger out somewhere, and I prefer by not falling into tunnels again.
"I didn't know you have another sister." Hollyleaf adds softly, trying to calm me down; it is not going to work! Just because she is my other sister, it doesn't mean I have to like her.
"I had more than one sister, not including you! The sister I am talking about is dead." I feel Hollyleaf and Falling Leaves tense up next to me.
"Well,"
"And I almost killed my other sister. I am a monster!" I rush out of my nest and run stiffly through the first tunnel I see that smells like outside. My leg is bound in rushes making it hard to run, so I settle for hopping very fast.
"Fox, stop!" Fallen Leaves shouts to me. There is fear in his voice, but I do not care.
"No! I'd rather die! Then I could apologize to my sister!" I hear two sets of paw steps and know that they are following me. I hop even quicker, trying to find a way out. Pain is starting to make the edges of my vision red, but I pay no attention; I just want to find a way out and to the Moonpool so I can talk to my sister and apologize to her.
"Stop Fox! It is starting to rain!" Fallen Leaves desperately calls out to me. "You can't even swim! Stop!" I don't know what any of that means but I don't care. I keep hopping and eventually lose the cats in a tunnel or cave or something. I hear pounding over my head and realize that Fallen Leaves was right, it is raining. I don't know what is so bad about that though. After all, it is just rain.
If Fallen Leaves and Hollyleaf are still following me, they are very far behind. I can't hear them anymore. For a heartbeat, I wonder how I lost them; I have a lame leg and they have much more experience in the tunnels than I do. I wonder if they gave up?
Suddenly, I hear rushing water. Foxdung! I got lost in the tunnels and got back to the main cave! But the water sounds too loud to be the river in the cave.
A sudden wave of black water rushes into the tunnel I am in through a hole in the roof and the sides of the tunnel! I'm going to die! Fear courses through me as I realize I will never get to clear my name, or at least my previous name. The water is pouring in quickly and I feel myself being pushed along and down, into the dark depths of the water. I thrash around but only succeed in sinking even quicker to the bottom of the tunnel. The water is rising quickly and soon it is at the top of the tunnel, not that it matters anyway; I am stuck at the bottom. Falling Leaves knew that this would happen. He tried to warn me. I should have listened to him. He knew I can't swim, with or without my lame leg. I really do want to apologize to Whitepkit, but I don't want to die.
My vision is going black.
Okay, for some reason I wrote a very angry part of the chapter and I wasn't even angry. I eventually went to sleep to calm myself down. So, the happier, not so angry part of the chapter was after I fell asleep.
Did anybody else realize that there are two Ashfur's in the Warrior series? One is the Ashfur we all know and probably despise, and the other was a nice, caring Riverclan queen/elder. The second was in the original arc; I think the first three books…? Man, they are soooooo different!
I will try to get the next chapter tonight or tomorrow.
Alert: I have already started the next chapter, it is a little mushy!
Would you like 2 POV's in the next chapter, and a longer update; or 1 POV in each chapter, and shorter update time's?
Disclaimer: jayleaf1 does not own Warriors. If she did, Warriors would not exist because she would never have found enough inspiration to write all of the books.
Read And Review Please!
Edit: Thank you Rainfilly for pointing out the Whitepaw/kit thing! Darn, I thought I caught all of those...
I tried to make the sentence you pointed out a bit more descriptive, hope it worked!
