Challenge #1 - Part 2 of 'Create-A-Story' forum. Join it, I guess...
Takes place in Forum: Oakclan, Pineclan, Plainclan, and Streamclan: Roleplay Forum. More specifically, Pineclan.
Challenge Theme is Daydreaming. There is also requirements that you can see below!
Clouds...
Ivyclaw awoke from her nest, her eyes feeling droopy and tired. She yawned, looking around at her clanmates who were coughing rapidly and having signs of greencough. The medicine cat was Runningfoot who was literally running around trying to heal all his clanmates with the little amount of catmint that they had.
Unexpectedly, almost every cat was sick. That was what happened when they had lack of herbs.
Ivyclaw was one of the lucky ones. She wasn't sick. She could provide for her clan, but she usually over-worked herself in the process. She usually hunted most of the day, bringing in only five pieces of prey during leaf-bare. Those five pieces were usually small or stringy, but it was enough to feed the clan a little bit.
Her mother, Owlfeather, was one of the cats who were sick. Ivyclaw visited her every day, laying by her in the dreary sunshine that the clouds were blocking. She usually brought a vole, frog, or a mouse, but since she could never tell what her mother wanted to eat, Ivyclaw usually brought a mouse because that was one of her favorite prey.
One day, as the clouds were only blocking the sun a little bit, she fell into a little daydream. She dreamed about the mice, the plentiful prey, the time where sickness hadn't raged across the clans, and her own self. She imagined her own life as a warrior not being over-worked and hunting every second of every day. At night, she usually guarded the camp from predators. Lack of sleep, hunger, and being overworked. Ivyclaw knew that she wasn't going to be able to stand the sickness much longer and she'd catch it herself.
The prey was so scarce now that Ivyclaw needed to go off her own clans' land. There was Oakclan and Streamclan to take into account, but there was also off-territory land, but Vixensong told everyone that a rogue passed by and they gave the sickness to the clan. The fox-looking she-cat insisted that no one go over borders there anymore, but Ivyclaw thought it was all a hoax. The other clans were affected, weren't they?
Ivyclaw crept out of camp in the shadow of the night and she managed to leave camp, and Pineclan Territory without being caught or noticed. It was her personal record broken!
Super short story! I know, but it's hard to write a long story with a THEME and FOUR REQUIREMENTS! It may be easy to some people, but it's hard for me.
Well, anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
