"Quickpaw, were here." Lionpaw's soothing voice called through the heavy underbrush, and a few seconds later the golden-brown tom came padding to him, with a pure white she-cat leaning on his shoulder. It had been almost a moon since the phantom fox had told him his destiny, and same with Lionpaw and his littermates, but he had never met Lionpaw's kin before....One by one they came from the shadows, at least he thought. First a quick-footed grey tom, with stunning green eyes. Behind him a hazy shape that he could make out as a she-cat from her scent, she appeared as soon as she was sure that there was no one but Quickpaw, her golden dappled pelt shone in the sunlight. But no one else came, just the amazingly beautiful white she-cat.
"I thought you said you had two sisters...Is this one your older sister?" He looked at the white she-cat, whose eyes met his, shocking him with their aqua beauty.
"No, Risepaw?" He looked for someone. "He won't hurt you, I promise. I will shred him if he does..." He glared strait at Quickpaw. His eyes showing unimaginable protectiveness over his sister, who was still hiding. All the littermates looked in one spot, but was only a shadowed nook in the forest. But he saw the rough outline of a tiny she-cat. Quickpaw padded over, not scenting anything. He stood right next to the shadow and looked to where a cat should be, but there was no one. Confusion filled his face. He stepped back into the sunlight, where his eyes burned from the harsh light. Only then did he see a hint of grey fur on the shadow that looked so much like a cat.
"RISEPAW!" The white she-cat nearly howled at the apprentice. "Get out here! This is no time for games!" She hissed with anger. The shadow moved and the instant it touched sunlight it turned into a pretty slate grey she-cat with vivid blue eyes that sent shivers of butterflies through Quickpaw.
"Sorry." Risepaw looked down, hiding her wonderful blue eyes. Quickpaw felt a tinge of sadness for the prety she-cat.
"Don't worry about it. Turning into shadows is cool." He whispered to her.
"What can you do?" She blinked back at him for a moment. And Quickpaw only looked back, he wished he could do something amazing, but no, he had to be the cat in the prophecy that couldn't.
"Nothing." He looked away and Risepaw quit talking and padded to Lionpaw.
"Quickpaw. I am Cloudspinner." She white she-cat meowed sweetly, as if she hadn't just hissed at the other apprentice.
"Nice to meet you." He smiled. "We have much to talk about." He didn't wait for a reply before he started. "Nightfury, or Nightpaw as you know her, is now my fa-Ridgestar's mate. But she tried to kill our medicine cat Poisonpoppy, who bless StarClan, is still alive. I think she is planning a take over of the clan, she always seems to tell my father what to do. Things in IronClan are falling apart." He sighed. "If there is ever been a time to take over there, it would be now." He concluded. Cloudspinner only started at him and then nodded.
"I will speak with Wonderstar. Risepaw, Lionpaw, Hiddenpaw, and Windspaw. Time to go." The beautiful white she-cat spoke urgently. And they all stood and began to pad away. Worry sparked in Quickpaw, what if the next time he saw Risepaw it would be in battle?! He ran over to her.
"Meet me here tonight at moon high." He whispered softly i her ear, not sure if she even heard him. But then she flicked her ears in response and leaped off, turning into a shadow once again. Quickpaw stood there for a long time, staring at where she disappeared, until the blazing heat of sun high told him to go back home.
All the way home he could have sworn he scented the rusty twinge of blood in his nose. He felt a threating breeze rush over the territory. And he shook his head clear, nothing could have happened while he was gone, but he was wrong. Right in the middle of the camp was Nightfury, standing over Ridgestar's unmoving body. A slow chill ran up his spine, Ridgestar was dead, and so were many others...Nightfury had begun the take over. He looked through all the motionless, there was Flutterflurry, and Shadowpaw. But there were only a few who remained, but there were still enough for Nightfury to lead.
He looked at Nightfury, who had an evil grin on her face. She lead Airboom and Frightclaw out of camp with her. Quickpaw ran to Quiverbreeze, who was standing over his littermates.
"What happened?!" His eyes were wide.
"Nightfury killed them. Shes going to moon pool to get her nine lives now..." Horror rose in the she-cat gaze. The only cats left were his littermates, Quiverbreeze, Poisonpoppy, Splashrunner, Raggedheart, and Quiverbreeze's five new kits. IronClan was collapsing from the inside out, and Nightfury was going to lead them.
(((. All cats have been added except for Quickpaw, because there is a name change needed. Also all in-active cats have been deleted, which means we have no medicine cat now. But before you join as either let me tell you, you HAVE to be on VERY frequently. There is also a contest right now for medicine cat apprentice, between Morningpaw and Vividpaw, who ever comes on the most will win. Also ForestClan is dying, I'm sorry to say, we need joiners! So if you could:
- ADVERTISE us. Please I don't want this blog to die. I have worked very hard on it.
- Come on frequently. If you don't come on once every week your cat will be deleted.
- If you don't comment on pages your cat will be deleted too, do not just comment on posts!
- Add queens! We have no kits!
Thanks everyone! Remember we need a medicine cat now!)))
