Okay. I have three kits for Heatherfang, but I can wait another chapter because of Hoppaw. But you can still send in OC's. If they don't look like Heatherfang or Yellowstar I can still use them...hint hint. Also I'm going to try to make the Chapters looonggggerrrrr. Okay?
Cinderstar: Remember, she REALLY want's OC's.
Snowstar: We don't own Warriors, just all cats here Cinderstar377 made up. Tornkit, Flyingkit, and Jayfeather, Dovewing, Lionblaze, Cloudstar, etc.
Author: On with Chapter 16!
Jumppaw's POV(I tend to skip over him a lot don't I?)
Jumppaw smiled when Amberpaw told him that Hoppaw was going to live. He had been so worried! They had been through a lot together already, the six of them- Gatherings, the kidnapping, kits- that he didn't want his brother to leave already.
"-and I'm going to be the next medicine cat!" Amberpaw squeaked. "Yay!"
"That's great, Amberpaw." Raventooth mewed. At that Amberpaw flinched, making Jumppaw frown. What did Raventooth do?
But his father didn't seem to notice anything as he continued to Firepaw, "Now we can go on a border patrol together."
Firepaw agreed and the two padded away. Then Amberpaw launched into her story of what happened. "I gave Grasslace some yarrow and she said..." as she told her mother and the rest of Jumppaw's siblings, the apprentice followed Raventooth and Firepaw. "Mind if I join you?" he asked. Firepaw nodded and so Raventooth called over Heatherfang.
"Wait!" Yellowstar bursted out. "Heatherfang should should stay in camp, her kits will come any day."
Frowning, Raventooth replied, "Okay... though I thought that she was a moon away but..."
"I don't care." This time it was Heatherfang. "Just let me, this one time, Yellowstar, go. Please."
Yellowstar paused and looked at her for a moment. "...Fine."
Smiling, Heatherfang trotted after Jumppaw and the rest of the patrol.
"So I guess you wont be able to train Firepaw soon?" Jumppaw asked the deputy.
"Yeah, but Raventooth could always help train too." Heatherfang pointed out.
"True..." Jumppaw trailed off.
Raventooth and Firepaw were waiting for them to stop chatting by the Shadowclan border. "Hm.. something isn't right about this." Raventooth mewed.
"What do you mean?" Heatherfang questioned.
"The scent is fresh and some of it is going into our border...Heatherfang! Fetch help!" Raventooth exclaimed. The she-cat nodded and rushed off. Seconds later, a Shadowclan cat emerged from the bushes.
"I don't think a pregnant she-cat will be able to rush back to camp very quickly." Darkstar himself sneered. "You might as well keep her here and fight... as if she'd be much use."
"What do you want?" Raventooth growled.
"Territory, of course." Darkstar flicked his ear. Three more Shadowclan cats came out of the bushes, making Jumppaw flinch.
"This will be easier then I thought. Shadowclan! Attack!"
The three Shadowclan cats launched into battle, and the smallest quickly went for Jumppaw. A brown tabby tom.
"You'll never Thunderclan territory!" Jumppaw spat.
"We will see about that!" the cat hissed, and Jumppaw realized he was an apprentice.
Swerving to the side, Jumppaw saw the cat run at him. Great Starclan, he's fast! Jumppaw thought as he ducked a blow.
Growling, the brown tabby jumped at Jumppaw, who let the apprentice crush him. Making himself go limp, Jumppaw suddenly heaved up when the other apprentice let his guard down.
"Your too weak" was all the tabby apprentice grunted. "I need to finish you off."
Realizing he was about to lose, Jumppaw fled, with the apprentice running after him. Then Jumppaw thought of something- the brambles!
Jumppaw turned so quickly that the brown tom had no time to either and he crashed into a tree. Shaking himself and running at Jumppaw again, he raced into brambles this time.
"Yes!" Jumppaw cheered. The apprentice limped off, bleeding. "Who's weak now!" Jumppaw crowed.
He walked back to where the others were still fighting- or at least, Raventooth was still fighting. Firepaw must have already chased off the other two cats for it was just them tree, with Darkstar targeting Raventooth, and Firepaw nipping at the dark leader.
Then there was a shout and Heatherfang appeared, with Yellowstar, Brighttail, Lilypaw, Mudwing, Robinfoot, and Jaggedfur.
"Oh, you want to play that way?" the Shadowclan leader sneered. Before Jumppaw could figure out what he meant, Darkstar waved his tail and several other Shadowclan cats slid out of the pines and into Thunderclan territory. "And now- attack!" Darkstar cried out.
Jumppaw saw Yellowstar push Heatherfang out of the battle and leap at Darkstar. Glancing around, Jumppaw saw Firepaw fighting a warrior and an apprentice sneaking up on him. Yowling, "Firepaw!" Jumppaw ran to his brother and knocked the apprentice out of the way.
"Hey! He was my-" the apprentice stopped. "Your not Runninpaw!" she glared at him.
Jumppaw grinned. "Runningpaw? That brown tabby that I already deafeated? Why don't I kick you back to your own camp like him?"
The apprentice still glared at him and ran into the crowd of fighting cats. Frowning, Jumppaw started to help Firepaw beat up the warrior, who was already losing against Jumppaw's strongest brother.
If I'm going to make the chapters longer, this POV will have to be longer.
I'm never going to reach six pages...sigh... oh well. I better try for five and a half. Right now I'm at half way to three.
Such sadness!...not. Anyway, time for Lilypaw's POV.
Lilypaw's POV(See? I didn't lie!)
"Oh, you want to play that way?" Darkstar asked cruelly. What does he mean? Lilypaw wondered.
Then a bunch of Shadowclan warriors- and an apprentice, appeared from Shadowclan's territory.
"And now, attack!" the leader called out.
Lilypaw quickly ran to Heatherfang, who was pushed out of the way of the Darkstar by Yellowstar. "I'll try to protect you." Lilypaw panted.
"Thanks, but I don't need protecting...my kits do. And I can protect them myself!" Heatherfang replied sharply, her eyes narrowed. "Time to go beat Shadowclan!"
She ran into the fray, leaving Lilypaw alone. What should I do?
Then Lilypaw remembered that apprentice. She could be beat by Lilypaw... hopefully. I'll go after her! The tiny brown she-cat apprentice then thought. She looked like the same age as me... maybe a bit older. Or even younger!
Lilypaw picked her way through the battle, rushing in between fighting bundles of fur. Sometimes she would recognize her clanmates- Brighttail, Jaggedfur, Robinfoot- but sometimes she didn't at all. Once she saw a black cat fighting a white cat and couldn't tell who was who!
Then Lilypaw saw Jumppaw trying to fight a Shadowclan apprentice There she is! Lilypaw thought excitedly. Her first battle that didn't involve... badgers... Lilypaw shuddered at the memory.
Then the Shadowclan apprentice fled from Jumppaw and into the battling cats once more. Again? Where did she go? Lilypaw wondered. But then she spotted a whip of her fur- then the flash of claws. Ow!
Lilypaw was smacked into another cat, her fur bleeding around where a warrior had clawed her head. The warrior started slowly walking to her. "What do we have here...a kit?" the warrior, a red tom with yellow eyes, sneered. "I think you need to go back to the nursery!" he launched at her.
Wincing, Lilypaw rolled under the tom's paws and glared at him. "I wont be beaten easily!" she puffed. "You'll have to fight me!"
She hadn't been given much battle moves, but the few she had learned she used on the tom. When he swiped at her she ducked and clawed his legs. When he leaped at her Lilypaw would bite his paws and hang on, even though he would scratch her, trying to throw her off. When he whipped around she bared her fangs and chomped down -hard- on his tail. Finally, the red tom couldn't match her speed. She was small but agile.
"Who needs to go back to the nursery now?" she asked in a mocking tone she'd only used on Firepaw and Hoppaw once before. But this cat was worse. "I don't think I do, or deserve to, that's for sure!"
The tom growled, "yeah right. You're just a tiny lost kit who scratched and nipped me a few times." Then he shot at her, faster than she could expect him too.
Without thinking, Lilypaw jumped into the air as high as she could. Looking down, she saw the Shadowclan enemy tom staring at her in disbelif. That's when she notciced she had not only leaped higher then most cats could, she had grabbed a branch on a tree. It wasn't that high up- an experienced warrior probably could- but she was a small apprentice with no experience.
"Whoa!" she whispered to herself. Then she leaped down, and landed right on top of the red tomcat. "Ha!" she yowled as she struck him, and this time instead of 'scratching and nipping' him she had clawed his flank and left a gash. "How's the kit doing now?" she taunted.
Throwing her off, the red tom hissed and fled back to Shadowclan territory. Looking around, Lilypaw saw that some others were doing the same.
That's when she saw the apprentice she was looking for in the beginning. Yes! She thought happily. I can finally beat her!
The small brown she-cat ran at the apprentice, who was looking for an opponent- but had not reached Lilypaw yet with her gaze.
Yelling, "I'm going to beat you!" Lilypaw jumped on top of the apprentice. "Ow!" the other apprentice squeaked but then started clawing at Lilypaw's stomach. Luckily, the Shadowclan apprentice couldn't actually tear out any skin or fur. "Oof," Lilypaw grunted at the same time the she-cat she was facing hissed, "Get off me!"
Lilypaw grinned. "My pleasure," she mewed and leaped high again. "Wow!" the other apprentice gasped, but she had no time to react as Lilypaw shot straight down and landed on her.
"Whoa!"
Lilypaw and the apprentice she-cat tussled for a while but soon both she-cats were tired and couldn't fight- they were too weak from fighting other cats.
"Truce for now?" asked Lilypaw.
"Truce." The she-cat narrowed her eyes and fled, leaving Darkstar fighting Yellowstar and Robinfoot fighting a black she-cat. But then Raventooth dragged Darkstar off and Brighttail clawed at the she-cat and both fled, leaving Darkstar spitting, "This isn't over!"
"Yes it is!" Yellowstar yowled. "Leave and don't come back!"
Lilypaw couldn't believe it. They had won!
Thunderclan had won!
Back at Camp, Sundown
The battle had taken two hours, counting the border patrol and the cats coming back to camp.
"It didn't seem that long," Lilypaw mewed to her mother, Brighttail, as they walked to the Thunderclan camp.
"It didn't because you were fighting that red Shadowclan warrior! You did excellent." her mother replied.
"Who was he?" Lilypaw asked, her tail dragging. She was really tired, and the rest of the clan except for Firepaw was too.
"That was Redwing I think. A senior warrior!" Brighttail meowed.
"Whoa!" Lilypaw gasped. She had told Brighttail what Redwing had looked like, and what he had acted like, and Brighttail knew most of the warriors in the clan, so it was easy to ask her.
"Yes, Redwing is as old as Yellowstar." Brighttail told her daughter as they reached the thorn tunnel. Yellowstar and Heatherfang, who had a couple of scratches on her neck, entered first, with the worst off cats- Jaggedfur and Jumppaw- followed.
"How bad are they?" Lilypaw wondered out loud. Looking over at her mother, she saw that Brighttail had frowned.
"Jumppaw had a gash on his tail and his neck, that's why he gets to go first. Jaggedfur, on the other pawn, got a nasty cut on a paw, and a bunch of fur is missing on his back," Brighttail murmured to Lilypaw. "That's why Jaggedfur is going into camp first. And Heatherfang needs treatment since she's expecting kits. I can't believe she went into that battle, with kits a moon away!"
"That's bad?"
"Oh yes," Brighttail answered. "Things can go wrong sometimes when you battle right before you have kits. I didn't have any problems because Raventooth made me go into the nursery as soon as he found out."
Lilypaw let out a purr of amusement as she tried to imagine Raventooth forcing Brighttail, her belly swollen with kits like Heatherfang, into the small gap for the nursery. "Nice."
"Well, you might not be here, or one of your litter mates, if he didn't." Brighttail pointed out.
"So what he did was good"
"Yes." Brighttail pointed out.
Now it was Lilypaw's turn to be treated at camp, and Amberpaw was looking over her. "Is this right, Grasslace? Marigold?" Lilypaw's sister asked. Grasslace nodded.
"Mm hmm. And put cobwebs on her head where it's bleeding."
When she was done, Lilypaw muttered, "Thanks Amberpaw. By the way, how's Hoppaw doing?"
"Good." Amberpaw replied. "Gracepaw is looking over on him. I told her what herbs to use."
Lilypaw blinked. "I'll go check on him too." She walked over to the bramble screen and ducked inside to smell pugent herbs and Hoppaw and Gracepaw.
"Hi Gracepaw. How's he doing?" Lilypaw repeated.
"Great! I gave him juniper berries, for strength or whatever like they said to do, and a few minutes ago he was a little conscious. But now he isn't." Gracepaw meowed. "Amberpaw and Grasslace said he's going to get better... how was the battle? Did we win?"
"Yep, we won, and I beat up a senior warrior called Redwing!" Lilypaw exclaimed. "I kind of beat an apprentice too..."
"How did you 'kind of'?"
Lilypaw told her about the battle, and then went over to Firepaw, Jumppaw, and Brighttail. "Hoppaw is going to live!" she told her siblings- sorry, litter mates- and their mother. "It's confirmed."
Raventooth padded over. "I just saw him," he explained. "It's true. Let's go see him now."
They did, and Lilypaw stayed outside this time since there wasn't enough room. Then he saw Heatherfang limping over to the nursery, Robinfoot helping Jaggedfur to the warrior's den, Yellowstar walking to the leader's.
And Lilypaw knew that the clan was going to be all right... if they could get past the threat of Vinestar and Windclan, Darkstar and Shadowclan.
At least Darkstar wont attack us for a while, but in our current weak state, Vinestar could attack us at any moment! Lilypaw thought. And by Yellowstar's dark gaze that swept over his clan, Lilypaw knew he also was thinking the same exact thing.
So...I'm almost at five pages so I'll wrap it up by putting the form up again. I have four kits for Heatherfang, so I'm done with her. Actually, I have an idea of what to do... if you send in cats, I can still accept them, but I'll have to approve the names first. Nothing like "Purplekit" or Rainbowkit. Wait- Now I'm at five pages! YES!
Anyway, here is the form again. Copy and paste it.
