Hey guys Here we go with the first chapter of saberfang!
Blah blah blah just get to the story!
Chapter 1
The moon hung high in the sky as it shined it's rays down on to the Breezeclan Camp. The wind blew hard buffeting the leaders fur as she stood on the seasons old tree stump, saluted against the night sky. It has been two days since her trip to the moonpool, and no one in the clan knows about what had happened except for Foxfire. But he doesnt even know the whole story! The dream where she found Saberfang in that despicable place sent shivers up her spine every time she thought of it. A long scar ran across her neck that would never let her forget what he was capable of. The rest of her clan gathered below, and a very nervous black and white apprentice sat in the middle of the sea of warriors, shuffling his paws.
"I Ravenstar leader of Breezeclan call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apperentice" Ravenstar was calling, the encounter with him still fresh in her thoughts. "He has trained hard to understand the ways of our noble code, and now I commend him as a warrior in your turn. Blackpaw from this day forward you will be known as Blackthorn" she finished.
Ravenstar hopped down from the tree stump, wincing as she landed, she graciously touched her nose upon her former apprentices head, who returned with a respectful lick to her shoulder.
"Blackthorn! Blackthorn!" her clan cheered. Ravenstar stepped back admiring her clans enthusiasm. She, however, couldnt share their excitement. The very thought of that evil cat felt like claws slashing her heart.
Ravenstar widened her eyes as she was taken back many moons ago, back when Saberfang was alive. She remembered the evil glint in his eyes as he walked past her. She remembered the two cats who were his followers. But worst of all, she remembered him in the leaders den with blood on his claws.
Panting heavily in fear, Ravenstar was brought back to the present, where it seemed like no time had past. A gust of wind buffetted her fur and almost throwing her off her paws. The moon was now high in the sky, and a ocean of clouds covered the horizon promising rain over night. The clan had stopped cheering and was now settling in for the night. Ravenstar caught a suspisous glare from her medicine cat, Laurelshade before the tan tabby padded tiredly into the medicine den. Shaking her head, hoping to clear her thoughts, Ravenstar quickly padded idenote leaders, ignoring the questions from Foxfire, and rested her head on the soft moss.
Ravenstar laid there for what seemed like moons before sleep finally cosumed her. The brown and white leader woke up in a black area with absolutely nothing around her. She had a sick feeling in her stomach as she looked around but only saw blackness. The fur on her back began to rise as a terrible scent filled her nose. Blood. Before she could do anything else she heard the ear splitting laugh. That laugh, so familiar, so threatening, so insane. After a few heartbeats, there was nothing. No sound of a menacing laugh, no stench of blood. Just nothing. Ravenstar bared her teeth and curled back her lip at the beggining of a snarl.
Suddenly, lightning cracked and landed almost a mouslength away from her paws. Ravenstar yelped and leaped away fear rushing through her body. A small ember was created from the flash, and without warning it quickly turned into a large flame. Lapping hungrily at the air above it, the flame grew and spread faster than any cat could say 'mouse'. Soon, there was a fire ring that spread out around Ravenstar trapping her within its flames. Horror clouded her thoughts and filled her mind, as the heat from the flame almost touched her brown pelt. That same maniacal laugh echoed through the darkness and a pair of red eyes were visible through the fire. Ravenstar gasped in terror as she heared his voice again.
"You cannot hide from my rage, you stole my dreams, and you will pay. You cannot run, for I can come to the present. I will destroy you and the Clan that defied me!" Saberfangs voice rang out.
His words echoed in her mind, until she woke up gasping in her nest inisde the old tree stump. The dawn sun stood barley showing over the horizon. Despite the bright morning, in the back of her mind Ravenstar could still see the darkness in her dream. Beside her was her deputy and mate, Foxfire, the ginger and brown striped tom, who was shaking the sleep from his eyes.
Foxfire seemed to notice the fear in Ravenstars eyes because he raised himself from his nest and was instantly alert for any danger.
Ravenstar sighed and meowed, "It was just a dream" which didn't seem to work, for his tail was lashing and his ears were twitching.
Foxfires eyes blazed "You've been having bad dreams ever since you came home from the Moonstone, and even then you didn't give me a full explanation of what happened" his gazed softened and he licked the brown and white leaders cheek comforting before continuing, "Im just worried about you".
Ravenstar purred lovingly, she was glad to have Foxfire by her side. She would do anything for the handsome ginger and brown tom. Ravenstar sighed, knowing that the moment wouldn't last. The brown she-cat got up from her nest and before she left the leaders den, Ravenstar turned around and stared into Foxfires blue eyes, "This is the worst threat Breezeclan has ever known" she meowed, almost growling.
Turning, Ravenstar flicked her tail and padded out from inside the old wooden stump. The nursery lay almost directly infront of her, guarded by mass layers of thorn barriers. Rosethorn, the only queen in the camp, lay sprawled out on the outside on the nursery soaking in the morning new-leaf sun, her belly round with kits. The warriors den lay beyond the nursery, in the corner of the camp. The newest warrior, Blackthorn, walked in tiredly after doing his night vigil. The dawn patrol rustled through the thorn entrance near the large warriors den. The leader of the patrol, Rockfall, nodded to Ravenstar telling her that there was nothing unusual to report. Knowing that they went to the Fireclan border, Ravenstar found that odd there was no activity. Feeling the soft grass between her paws, Ravenstar began to walk to the medicine den to talk with Laurelshade about everything that has happened. The brown and white leader past the apprentice den, ignoring an argument between Gorsepaw, and Birchpaw about the best places to hunt. Ravenstar sighed as she neared the den. Praying that starclan would help them.
Before entering the twig and branch covered medicine den, Ravenstar looked back at her clan. The camp seemed at peace, but dark days lay ahead of them, for Saberfang had returned and was hungry for revenge.
