Sorry for not updating sooner. I have to juggle with school, swim, and homework. I've not able to write much. But it's FRIDAY! So I might be able to post more stuff soon. Also, I made a new story, but it isn't showing up. If you go to my profile, you will see it. It is called Moons Shadow. Also, just because it isn't Warriors, don't not read it. SO PLEASE READ IT! I'M BEGGING YOU! Oh, and before I forget, I'm going to have a scene were they shape shift, but I can't think of a scene. HELP ME OUT! Anywho,
On with the story!
Oh, and for the last friggen' time, I DON'T OWN WARRIORS!
Sunclaw.
That name brought a bitter taste to my mouth. I shuddered and shook my head.
I bet you're wondering who in Starclan is Sunclaw. Well, he is a cat that will do anything to get to the top. No, it's not world domination. Actually, he is doing it for a she-cat. Her name was Dewdrop. She was a kind and caring cat. She had a blue/gray pelt dappled with a light gray that looked like dew. She had wise gray eyes. Unfortunately, she caught Black cough. It is worse than even green cough. There is no known cure, and only days after caching it, she died. But her dying wish was to let Sunclaw become leader. He had told her about how much he wanted to be leader, and Dewdrop supported him till the very end. But Sunclaw was overwhelmed with grief, and lost sight of faith and hope. He fell into a world of despair and hopelessness. The shadows there grabbed his heart and turned it as cold as leaf bare. He still remembered Dewdrops last wish, and has pursued it for as long as he could remember, but he only brought sadness and pain. Just recently, he killed a tom that knew too much.
A sudden scream shook me out of my thoughts.
I ran over to the source of the scream, which happened to be Firestorm. He was crouched over the motionless body of Moonlight. I gasped and pushed myself over to them even faster.
When I got there, I thought Moonlight was already dead. She had a large gash on her stomach, and a smaller one on her thought. Then I saw the faint rise and fall of her chest.
Firestorm was licking franticly at his mates pelt. Whitekit and Shadowkit were huddled together about a mouse-tail away. With out hesitation, I bundled them up against me.
"Fireclaw, Tinyone, Grassblade, Gizmoclaw, Starfire!" I called out franticly, not seeing them anywhere.
"What! Are you OK? What happened?!" Fireclaw asked in one breath as she and the others reached me.
"I'm fine, and why don't you see for yourself?" I hissed, nodding my head down at Moonlight, who was now being treated by Jayfeather.
Fireclaw and Grassblade's eyes went wide with panic and grief.
Tinyone fainted dead on the spot. He was never really a fan of blood.
Gizmoclaw looked sad, with tears threating to spill over, and Starfire was flat out wailing to the heavens.
All the other cats gathered around with wide eyes and grief stricken expressions.
"You can save her right? Momma's gonna be fine right?" Whitekit asked, looking up at me. "Hush now, Jayfeather will help her. We don't know if she is going to be alright yet, but we can still hope." I soothed the agitated youngsters.
Jayfeather looked up. "I don't know what is going to happen now, but al w can do is hope for the best. Fireclaw and Firestorm, help me carry Moonlight to the makeshift den."
"That reminds me, Silentivy, I want you and 3 others to go investigate the remains of the forest. See if anything is still there." Firestar ordered.
I nodded. Then I pointed my tail to Grassblade, Gizmoclaw, and Brackenfur.
We went off to our old home, and we were devastated by what we saw.
Ash.
Everything was ash. There were still a few tree still standing, but no undergrowth, and no prey. No leaves crackling under our feet. Only ash.
As I looked around our camp, my heart broke more and more. Everything. Gone. Just like that. I now hate ash.
My feet padded softly over the medicine den. The moss was incinerated. Luckily, Jayfeather had put the herbs in a small slit in the cave, and the fire didn't get in it. (It is also reinvent to the plot…) I slip into it and grabbed as many herbs as I could. I walked out and put them down, then gestured for Brackenfur and Gizmoclaw. They came over and picked up the herbs.
After we walked around a few more time, we slowly trudged back to the island.
We dropped the herbs off at Jayfeathers and Gizmoclaw went to Firestar to report about the camp and forest.
I walked back to the tree were the Warriors slept and plopped down. I fell asleep. As I was sleeping, a theory formed in my mind. Piece by piece, it fell into place. Suddenly everything made since. By the time I woke up in the morning, I had it all figured out and was ready to tell everyone.
Wow. That was by far the most depressing thing I have ever written. (Turns away slowly.) Anyway, R&R! And read my other story! It would make me so happy!
