Disclaimer: Erin Hunters owns the warrior books but I do own my OCs Sandfire, Goldenpelt, Thornrose, Darkrot, Jaggedclaw and the plot.
Chapter 8
Day two in the countryside and Yellowfang's night lesson.
The first thing Sandfire and Goldenpelt saw when they opened their eyes was to see the sun high up in the sky. As they looked up at the sky Sandfire mewed "One day and one lesson complete, so now only four days and three lessons to go till we get to the mountain". As Goldenpelt stretched the sleep from her body, she mewed"Let's go hunting Sandfire, we have a lot of runing to do today". "Your right Goldenpelt, let's go hunting" Sandfire happily purred as he ran out into the long grass followed by Goldenpelt who just laughed happily.
As they finished eating what they had caught which was a rabbit each, a scent came to his nose that made his fur stand on end. The scent was defintely one of Darkrot's rogues called Jaggedclaw and he was one of the cats that hurt Goldenpelt. As he thought up a plan to stop Jaggedclaw, he whispered "Goldenpelt don't move from there". When Goldenpelt looked up at him, she whispered "What's wrong Sandfire". "It's one of Darkrot's rogues, he must have followed our scent here" whispered Sandfire. "What do you think we should do" asked Goldenpelt as she went into a stalking position and let her claws out ready for a fight. As Sandfire went into a stalking position as well, he answered "I will go and challenge him, while I am doing that you take care of the rabbit bones" As she nodded her head, Sandfire started to stalk through the long grass. As he stalked through the grass, he soon spotted Jaggedclaw who was talking to himself. Then he looked around to see a big rock near Jaggedclaw, so he stalked over to it and jumped up on to it so he could hear what Jaggedclaw was mewing. "When I catch those two, Darkrot will praise me for all my hard work" he hear Jaggedclaw mew.
As Jaggedclaw walked nearer to the rock he didn't see that Sandfire was standing up on it with the long grass hiding him from sight. At that moment Sandfire thought it was time to send him back to the forest so he mewed "You should start running back to Darkrot right now before I come down there and make you run back like the coward you are". Jaggedclaw then looked up to see Sandfire looking through the long grass at him and let his claws came out as he growled "Not till your out of Darkrot's fur permanently will I go back". So Sandfire looked into Jaggedclaw's eyes to see that Jaggedclaw was not going to run away without a fight, so he jumped down from the rock at Jaggedclaw. As Sandfire jumped down at Jaggedclaw, Jaggedclaw got on to his hind legs to try to slash him with his claws but Sandfire pushed his paws into his chest, knocking him backwards and into a roll. As they rolled around in the long grass Sandfire felt Jaggedclaw's claw cut into his shoulder as he slashed through Jaggedclaw's right ear. With a yell the two jumped apart to just jump back at each other once again. As Sandfire jumped back at Jaggedclaw, a strange feeling started to stir through his body. As they rolled around once again, Sandfire got his right claw into one of Jaggedclaw's hind legs and tripped him up. Then he jumped on to Jaggedclaw's back and started to use his back claws to slash Jaggedclaw till he yelled out in pain. As Sandfire let him go, he watch Jaggedclaw run away towards the forest. As he tried to catch his breath, he looked at his shoulder to see how bad it was but it wasn't too deep, just a light cut. When he had checked to make sure that it was okay, he turned around and started to run back to where he had left Goldenpelt.
When he got to her, he stopped runing and mew "Let's get out of here Goldenpelt, we need to get as far from here as we can get". "But are you ok, did you get hurt in any way" asked Goldenpelt as she ran over to him, to start checking his body for injuries. "I'm ok Goldenpelt, I only got a few scratches and they are not to bad but I had a strange feeling, It was like there was another presense inside of me, if this presense wasn't there, I don't know what would have happened" he mewed as Goldenpelt sniffed his hurt shoulder. When she had done checking his scratches, she started to walk over to their leaf like herb bag. "Maybe the feeling has something to do with the powers Firestar said you had" she mewed as she took out some dock leaf, goldenrod and merigold from the leaf like bag and started to chew them, then she put the chewed herbs on a clean leaf and mixed them together to make a herbal like paste, then she picked up the leaf and walked over to him to put it back down on the ground. Then she looked up at him to mew "Lie down on your side please. I like to put some of Thornrose's herbal mix on that cut so it will heal faster and wont get infected". As he lay down on his good side he mewed "It a good thing Thornrose liked watching that lone old Two-legged female that used to live in the forest". "Yes it is isn't but I still don't understand why she had such a liking for the Two-leg and the Two-leg just let her take herbs from its garden as well" she answered as she rubbed the herbal mix into his cut. When she had finished rubbing the paste into his cut and started to put the leaf like bag together again she mewed "That should do it, now let's get out of here ". As she put on the leaf like bag, she watch Sandfire get up and walk over to her, then they both ran into the long grass.
For hours they ran though the long grass and over small hills till the sun started to go down. That was the time that they stopped running so they could hunt and find a place to sleep. When they went to sleep, they heard a sound near by so they opened their eyes to see a dark gray she-cat looking down at them. As they both looked at the she-cat Sandfire mewed "Oh, hello Yellowfang, how are you this evening". "I am fine Sandfire, now are you both ready for a little history lesson". As the two looked at Yellowfang, they both mewed "Yes we're ready". "Ok then, let us begin" Yellowfang mewed as she began her lesson.
(Yellowfang's POV)
As I began my lesson I could not help but purr at the two before me because they made me remember how Firestar was has an apprentice.
"Long ago there was a group of cats that came down from their territory in the mountains to live in a forest. After a long time , the first Starclan cats choosed five cats to begin five clans, they were the tom's Thunder, River and Clear Sky. The she-cat's were known as Wind and Shadow. Thunder led his followers to one part of the forest and they became known as Thunderclan. River lead his to a part of the forest with a big river and they became known as Riverclan. Clear Sky led his to the part of the forest that was close to Thunderclan and Riverclan and they became kown as Skyclan. Wind led her's to the moorlands just outside the forest and they became known as Windclan, and the last Shadow lead her's to the part of the forest that had pine trees and they became known as Shadowclan. They lived like this till Two-legs came and made Skyclan territory into a Two-legged place, without a home Skyclan turned to the other clans for help but they were turned down so they left the forest. The four clan that was left continued live in the forest just like they did when there was five and slowly they forgot that there was a fifth clan. Years went by till Spottedleaf a medicine cat of Thunderclan was given a message from Starclan. It said that fire alone can save our clan, but from what, no one knew at this time" I mewed, then I asked " Sandfire can you think of what the fire was".
As I watched him think, he mewed "I think it must have been Firestar. Am I right ?". "Yes your right Sandfire it was Firestar but at the time he was called Rusty, would you like me to go on" I mewed as I watched his eyes light up with excitement, he mewed "Yes please Yellowfang".
"Ok now after the message, Spottedleaf told her leader Bluestar the message and to keep an eye on a young kittypet with a flame like pelt. Some time later the kittypet meet an apprentice called Greypaw and got into a fight but became friends at the end but as they were talking Bluestar and a warrior call Lionheart came and Bluestar had a little chat with him to find that his name was Rusty, then she give him a chance to join Thunderclan but he asked for some time to think it over so they went home without him. The next evening Lionheart went with Whitestorm to see what Rusty's answer was, when they found out that he wanted to join they led him to their camp were he got his warrior apprentice name Firepaw. When Firepaw and Greypaw helped save some kits, they got their warrior names Fireheart and Greystripe, I also took Spottedleaf's place as medicine cat after she died when the kits was taken. Then one day Fireheart showed the clan the treachery of deputy Tigerclaw who tryed to kill Bluestar to become leader of the clan but failed when Fireheart jumped in to stop him. For his treachery Tigerclaw was banished from Thunderclan and the title of deputy went to Fireheart but that was not the last we time we saw Tigerclaw for he some how became Tigerstar leader of Shadowclan. As the leader of Shadowclan Tigerstar tried to destroy Thunderclan with a pack of dogs but Fireheart found out and took most of the clan to safety, as for the ones left behind Fireheart told them to lead the dogs to a cilff but when it was Firehearts turn, Tigerstar stopped him to let the lead dog catch up with him but as the dog bit down on Fireheart, Bluestar jumped at the dog and sent it and herself over the cilff, that day was the last day of Bluestar's life as she give her last life to save Fireheart and her clan. After that Fireheart became Firestar and he led his clan to stop Tigerstar and a clan known as Bloodclan. After that Firestar and his mate Sandstorm went and rebuilt Skyclan after it was destroyed by rats, after they had returned, Sandstorm had your mother and her sister. One day a lot of Two-legs came to destroy the forest, it was your mother and father with their new friends Feathertail, her brother Stormfur, Crowpaw and your auntie Tawnypelt that found the lake. After they had found their new home the friends returned to their clans but on the way they lost Feathertail who died to save them from a mountain lion called Sharptooth. After telling their clans, the clans left what was left of the forest and went to live at the lake and that is all I can tell you" I mewed to them. As I watched them Sandfire mewed "Thank you Yellowfang for telling us some of the clans history".
"Now you two should get some sleep, you have a big day tomorrow" I mewed, then as I watched them nodd their heads, they curled back up together and closed their eyes. As they started to fade, I went back to my den wishing that they would be on time to save three lives.
( End of Yellowfang's POV )
As the two slept something was happening not to far away from them but they will not find out what it is till morning.
