In the forest near the rabbits cliff comes a running black tom and a fierce dangerous dog chasing him and the silver she-cat, Streampaw. They split apart and he climbed a tree. As he tried to catch his breath, he saw his foster sister running for her life from a nasty canine with sharp teeth. *NO! Not Streampaw! I won't let die!* Huntingpaw thought as he step out of the tree and dashed to save, Streampaw in a hurry. He stopped to see her cornered by the dog with a hungry look on it's face. He jumped between them. "I won't let you harm her! Leave!" The tom hissed as he unsheathed his claws with defense. But the dog barked menacingly and was ready to chomp them both down. Huntingpaw sprang up and clawed the dogs snout, causing it to back away as it yelp, but then he flung the tom of it, but he land on his feet ready for battle.
Streampaw, the silver she-cat was too afraid to move to do anything to help, just had a wide look of horror on her face. Th black tom bit at the dogs ankle to make it loose balance, but it kicks him off and bites off the tom's right ear with ease. Huntingpaw screamed in pain from the lost of his ear, but he did not back down. The black apprentice bit the dogs left eye, which would cause it to go blind. The dog yelp in pain and flung the cat up to the sky and came down with half of his face in the mouth of the bloodthirsty beast. "HUNTINGPAW!" He heard his foster sister scream in terror for him. The dog flung him to the ground and went for the silver she-cat. Huntingpaw, barely awake did one last attack he pushed the dog to the cliff causing both of them to fall. The dog quickly got up and ran for it's life yelping in pain. "NOOO!" Streampaw screamed as she rushed to him. *Star Clan, are you coming for me?* The black tom last thought as the darkness took him.
He woke up slowly, with only one eye he could open at the moment. At first everything was a blur, he could hardly make out the shapes or the colors of where he was, but then it became more clearer, he was in the medicine den. There were so many questions in his mind. How did he get here? What happened to the dog? Where were the patrol?Why could he not feel half of his face? W-Where was Streampaw? A jolt of fear gripped him of the thought of the silver she-cat being torn apart from the dog. Then he heard a soft moan and something warm beside him. He quickly turn to see his foster sister, sleeping peacefully beside him. He blush as he saw the light reflecting on her beautiful silver-grey pelt, her beauty showing beside him. He knew that it was her who saved him. "Thank you Streampaw." He whispered as he licked the side of her face and went back to sleep. Clawpaw saw the whole thing, frowned at first, then smiled a little as he secretly left a Robbin for Streampaw.
Song to go with it: watch?v=cPk6dz…
Huntingpaw watched as the silver she-cat slowly opened her lovely forest green eyes. She let out a soft yawn as she stretched out her legs from laying for so long. "Good morning, Streampaw." Huntingpaw smiled at her. The silver she-cat surprised and filled with endless joy as she jumped on him, causing them both to tumble down. "Y-you're a-awake... I t-t-thought I-I-I... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Streampaw cried as she pushed her face into his fur, letting the tears fall of her shining fur. "It's okay. I'm alive. And I need a drink of water from that good sleep. I'll be right back." Huntingpaw smiled as he tried to stand but crumbled to the ground. "Huntingpaw." Streampaw gasped as she tried to help him up. "Thank you, I'm alright now. Why were my legs so numb? How long was I sleep for?" The black tom wondered as he turn to her. *Why can't I use my other eye?* The scarred tom wondered in his mind.
"You've been asleep for half a moon, I haven't left your side since. There is something else, when the dog attacked you, it took half of your face with it. You will never be the same again, I'm so sorry.." Streampaw explained as she was about to cry again. "No, don't cry. I only did this to protect you. I don't want you to get hurt. I'm glad your still here." Huntingpaw smiled as he blushed a little. "Huntingpaw I-" The silver she-cat began but then the whole clan came in to see him awake and alive. Then Ivystar stepped in. "Huntingpaw, I wishe for you to come with us to a clan meeting." Ivystar smiled as the apprentice nodded his head and followed him outside. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey to meet me at the Lion's peek for a clan meeting." Everyone came to see the scarred tom alive. "Huntingpaw, you have shown bravery and strength to your clan and for that it is time for your warrior name. I Ivystar, leader of Morning clan, call on my warrior ancestors to look down at Huntingpaw, he has train hard to learn they ways of the warrior code and I asked that you look at him, not as an apprentice, but full warrior, do you you Huntingpaw,swear to uphold the warrior code ad protect your clan even at the cost of your life?"
The black tom nodded. "Then by the power of Star clan, I give you your warrior name, Huntingpaw you will be known as Huntingdog, for being able to defeat a dog and welcome you a full warrior of Morning clan." Ivystar anounced as the clan cheered for him. "Huntingdog, Huntingdog! Huntingdog!"
As the clan cheered for the new warriors, Ashenfire and Cherrypaw were watching from the sides smiling for the new warrior's name, then Apricotheart, the loyal deputy with Hazeleye came to see or hear the two for Hazeleye. "Are you two enjoying the meeting so far?" Hazeleye smiled as he licked his daughter's forehead. "Dad!" The scarlet she-cat whined as she backed in way with blush of embarrassment. "What? A father can't embarrass his little kit in front of her crush." The elder tom joked. "He's not my c-crush!" Cherrypaw blushed from her father's response. The two elder cats chuckled a little from the little humor. "Anyways, I have a special mission for the two of you, we have been detecting sent of what we believe to be Dragon clan warriors, we need two to find out more, if they are here and you some how come into contact with them, don't fight just return to Morning clan camp, we'll handle them together." The deputy instruted to the two of them.
Cherrypaw could feel and see Ashenfire shake violently in fear as his eyes widen in fear and sweat. "Are... you..." Cherrypaw began to asked the worried but then was cut off. "Yeah, I'm fine. L-let's get going." The ginger tom quickly answered as they both began the patrol. They looked through trees, bushes, and the long grass but the only things they found were paw prints, and the the smell of Dragon clan. "Well, whoever was here is gone now." The scarlet meowed as they wonder around a little bit. But then they heard a low moan from the bushes. They had both of their claws unsheathed as they peaked through the bushes. Ashenfire gasped in shock to see the the tom, he knew who he was and was injured. "Turtlepaw... Turtlepaw!" Ashenfire screamed as he ran to the injured ginger tom. "You know this tom?" Cherrypaw asked as she ran with him. "Please wake up, Turtlepaw... Oh thank goodness, he's breathing." The ginger tom sighed in relief, ignoring the scarlet apprentice's questions.
"Cherrypaw, do you remember when I told you about my brother? This is him." Ashenfire answered her question without even facing her. "B-but how did he get here?" The scarlet she-cat wondered. "I don't know! I need you to watch my brother, while I get help! please, you're the only one I trust." Ashenfire begged. The scarlet nodded as the ginger tom ran to find help.
When a patrol carried the injured of Ashenfire, they quickly got him to the two medicine cats of Pebblestone and Ivypaw, who was sorting the herbs for his mentor when they came in. The two gasped in surprise and began trying to heal the poor injured ginger tom. "Ashenfire, Cherrypaw, we need you both to stay out of the medicine cats den for a while so we can help him." The dark tortoiseshell she-cat instructed as she pushes them out. "What? No. I need to be there for him, he's my brother." The ginger tom growled. "He will be fine, but we need it to be quiet for him to rest or his state of health will get worse. I promise you will see him soon, till them you will have to wait." The elder medicine cat lectured as Ashenfire was about to try to get in again when Blazepaw and his mentor Nightgazer block the way. "Listen to the medicine cat or will make you." Blazepaw warned him.
Then Ashenfire felt a tail on his shoulder, he knew that red pelt, it was Cherrypaw giving a 'Don't do it, just do what they say' look as she shook her head. The ginger tom sighed as he flattened his ears and looked back at the medicine cats den. Then he turned back to see his friend. "Alright, but you owe me a lick." Ashenfire joked as the scarlet she-cat did a cat punched to the shoulder playfully. "S-shut up." Cherrypaw stuttered as she dashed away. Then she saw the Maplekiss eating Borage Leaves. *Borage Leaves? Why would Maplekiss-?* Then she looked at Maplekiss's belly, it was swollen and large. *Is she kitting? I've never thought she would be the one to try to have kits.* The scarlet she-cat thought as she tilt her head in confusion.
Then the loud bossy she-cat saw her looking at her belly. "Hey kit, quit staring." Maplekiss meowed as she came closer to the scarlet she-cat. Cherrypaw then snapped back into reality. "Oh, hey Maplekiss. Sorry. Are you...?" Cherrypaw asked the older she-cat. "Yeah. Blame Quietvoice for for keeping me out of duty while I raise our unborn kits. Hmmp! Toms get all the fun." Maplekiss joked. "They're his? I never thought you two had a thing for each other." Cherrypaw smiled. "You'll learn about these things when you're older." Maplekiss commented as she walked away.
