Scared
Listen my story starts back at Riverclan camp, then to Riverclan territory. It had started out as normal day for me until something happened that me feel something I on't want to feel ever again, scared. My name's Vinepaw and here's my story.
...m.m...
I went over and picked myself a nice plump fish to eat.
I went back to the apprentice den where my two best friends, Smallpaw and Pebblepaw, were waiting for me. "Oh! Nice catch!" Smallpaw msiled noticing my fish. Smallpaw had a pelt as white as snow an eyes as green as a leaf.
Smallpaw had a small minnow while Pebblepaw was devouring a medim sized rabbit. "That's nice," she mumbled. I sat down between them and began to eat my fish.
"What are you doing?" My mentor, Dazzlestripe, asked looking down me with eyes the color of gold. She had fur the color of silver that, dazzled, in the sun.
"Eating." I answered.
"You'll have time for that later, Vinepaw. Spottedstar has asked us and a few others to go on a border patrol. Maybe give catch something while we're at it."
"Okay," I sighed taking a big bite out of my fish. "See you gals later."
"Can I finish your fish?" Pebblepaw asked, already finished with her rabbit.
Smallpaw and I share a laugh, "Sure," I smile.
"Come on Vinepaw! We're leaving now!" Dazzlestripe called.
"Coming!" I answered running toward the patrol.
There was only 5 warriors and 2 apprentices in the patrol. Well one if you're not counting me. The other apprentice was Stonepaw, a gray tom with orange eyes. His mentor, also on the patrol, was Mudpelt, a brown tabby she-cat. The other 3 warriors were Minnowtail(black she-cat) Branchfur(golden brown tom) and Bushclaw(white and black tom).
We set out to patrol the border between Thunderclan and Riverclan. Stonepaw and I played around for awhile. "I bet you I'm the faster one." he sneered.
"You are not," I smiled back, "I am."
"Race you to the river!" Stonepaw called already rushing on ahead.
"Cheater!" I called running after him.
I dodged trees and jumped over anything I could. Soon we were neck and neck. By the time we got to the river I was 3 cats ahead of him. "Clearer I'm the winner." I boasted.
"What to do another one?" Stonepaw asked. I shook my head walking over to the stones. Stonepaw and I almost fell in when Stonepaw lost his footing. Never the less, we got across.
On the other side we decided we'd wait for the warriors to catch up. That is, until Stonepaw fell into the river. "Help!" he cried, "Vinepaw! Anycat! Help!"
I was running beside the river bank as fast as my legs could carry me. I saw an over hanging branch towering over the river. I leapt onto it and reached down just in time to grab my brother by the nap of his fur and hurl him up to me. He rushed off the branch and I followed. "That, was close." he huffs.
"I know." I smile, glad that he's safe.
"Uh, sis, where are we?" Stonepaw asked.
"What do you mean where are we..." I stop when I relies that we weren't in Riverclan territory anymore. Now the scent of the unknown filled the air. "Oh, my, gosh. We're lost." I whisper.
"You think." Stonepaw whispers back.
I turn around and start walking the way we came. "Where we going now?" Stonepaw asks.
"Home." I answer.
"Not if I have a say," a deep, growling voice comments.
"Stonepaw, was that you?" I ask.
"No, princess. it was me, Bloodcry." I turn around to see a giant, black dog standing behind Stonepaw, who was turned around too. I sniffed the air to realize he wasn't alone. Other dogs were around him. Stonepaw and I turned around to see a big, golden retriever blocking our path.
"Hello, kits." she coos.
My breathing gets heavy and I turn to see Stonepaw is scared stiff. No way he's gonna talk. "What do you want." I growl.
"Ah, a brave one I see." Bloodcry smiles, "All we want is food for our hungry pack." Bloodcry advances while I stand my ground.
"You want to know what our favorite dish is?" the she-dog asks.
"What?" I ask as terror begins to fill me inside and out.
"Cat." she answers. I stood there, frozen like my brother. My breath becomes quick and thin. Her answer rings through the air. For the first time in my life I'm completely, truly, scared.
