Book one: When Lightning Strikes * Warriors Fan-fic *

[. ME]

Prologue:
Barkstar hauled herself back onto a rock as she was pushed off by a Riverclan warrior. She hissed, and lunged at him. She grabbed him and raked her claws down his belly, nearly cutting it open. The thunder boomed as lightning flicked across the sky. It continued pouring rain, making the flood bigger and bigger. The lightning hit several cats, killing them and almost fully burning there bodies. She gasped as a clan-mate right next to her was zapped by lightning, and thrown into the water, leaving the dead body to float off. Then another Riverclan warrior jumped on her, knocking her into the heavy, churning, water. She quickly hauled herself back onto yet another rock. Then she saw that Breezestar, Leader of Riverclan was the one who had knocked her into the water. He jumped onto her, and went for her throat. She quickly scratched his eye, making him get off. She jumped onto him, and bit his throat hard, swiping away his fifth life. She pushed his body off into the flood, even knowing when he would awaken again that he would just swim back. Then she heard the Riverclan deputy, Snakeskin, yowl out " Riverclan! Retreat! ". Breezestar hissed at Barkstar, then he ran away with his clan. She took a giant leap from the rock she was on to a bigger one, that the medicine cat, Featherear, was also on. He was staring up at sky. " Starclan told me what Im sure is the new prophecy.... " He gasped. " Well what is it?! " Barkstar rasped. She shook her weary legs. " Im old enough as it is now, Dont keep me waiting ". Featherear turned to her. " Lightning alone will save the clans after moons, But kill itself. " He whispered. " It has just killed many cats, I dont get it ". Barkstar looked at him. " It sounds so simple, but... I dont get it either. It really has just killed much or Riverclan and Thunderclan...How will it save us? Its like that myth of the old Thunderclan leader, Bluestar, receiving that prophecy about fire, and it turns out to be a cat.... ". Featherear jumped up. " Thunder must be a cat! " He shouted. " But why would a cat kill itself? " Barkstar replied, looking at him oddly. " Starclan prophecies are always hard to understand, but when you find the answer they seem so simple...Lets go back to camp. " Featherear meowed quietly.

Chapter one:
Jupiter licked his paw and swiped it over his ear. " Your really going to join those terrible cats?! " Mars gasped. " They dont sound terrible the way your saying about them; Now your changing your whole story! " Jupiter hissed. Mars sighed. " Just... I worry about you, Jupiter, I really do. " She mewed. He pricked up his ears as he heard Mars whisper something under her breath. " What was that you said? " He asked. " Nothing... " Mars said. His golden-white pelt shone in the sun. He bounded into the farther parts into the forest, and stopped in the middle. " Hello? Clan-cats? Are you here? " He called. Then he got the feeling of being watched. " Hello? " He said, looking around. He gasped as he heard paw steps running away. He froze in place. Then the breathe was knocked out of him as something knocked him in the side. He turned to see a cat, about the same age as him, six months, pinning him down. He unsheathed his claws and scratched the cats chest, and threw her off. He pounced on the cats back, and bit her ear. A few moments later, Jupiter held her in a tight grip. " Your tough! " The cat said. " Thats a good quality for a kittypet. ". " No- Im not a kittypet, Im a loner. I dont live with twolegs... " Jupiter sighed as he got off the cat. " Im Jupiter. Who are you? ". The cat looked at him. Her pretty light brown tabby pelt was ruffled by the breeze. " Im Stripedpaw. Its nice to meet you, Jupiter. My clan is Thunderclan. I guess now I gotta explain all of this clan stuff to you? " She meowed quietly. " No; My friend, Mars, She is a kittypet, told me all about the clans " Jupiter explained. Stripedpaw gasped. " Run! Barkstar, Shadowstalker, Deepscar, Bloodpetal, and Darkshadow are coming! " She hissed. " Those last four sound awfully evil... And I'd like to meet them, Actually. " Jupiter said. Soon, a dark brown she-cat, A skinny smokey-grey tom, A black tom with a scar from his head to his cheek, A she-cat with dark ginger fur, and last of all another black tom. " Stripedpaw, who is that kittypet? " The ginger-furred she-cat snarled. " He isnt a kittypet! " Stripedpaw growled. " He knows all about clan life and wants to join us! ". All of the cats looked angry and shocked, besides the dark brown she-cat, who looked interested and calm. " No! Are you mouse-brained? " The skinny grey tom shouted. " Ok. He will join us. " The she-cat decided. " What?! " The other four cats shrieked, out-raged.

Chapter two:
" Lightningpaw! Lightningpaw! Lightningpaw! " Rang in Jupiter, now Lightningpaw's, ears. He had been made a apprentice. He watched as the cats parted and it all fell silent. Then Lightningpaw jumped down next to Stripedpaw. " Great! I was made apprentice this morning! Were new apprentices! " She squealed. " And you already know the territory and everybody's name... ". Deepscar and Shadowstalker padded up to them, looking angry. " Well, 'Lightningpaw', I am your new mentor. Come with me to go hunting. " Deepscar growled. " Ok. Can Stripedpaw and her mentor Shadowstalker come with us? " Lightningpaw asked. " No! Alone! Me and my apprentice have to go train battle moves " Shadowstalker spat. Stripedpaw sighed and looked down sadly. Deepscar turned and winked at Shadowstalker. What was that supposed to mean? Lightningpaw thought as they went near the Shadowclan border. " Alright, get down in a crouch, and close your eyes. " Deepscar instructed. " I dont know why to close my eyes, but ok. " Lightningpaw thought aloud as he went into a crouch and closed his eyes. Then he felt someone jump on him, and he opened his eyes. Deepscar was digging his claws into Lightningpaw's chest. " I wont allow a dumb kittypet to join my clan! " He hissed through gritted teeth. " I am not a kittypet! And its not your clan- Its Barkstar's! " Lightningpaw yowled as he scratched Deepscar's eyes, making the heavy tom get off him. " This clan is soon to be mine! " Deepscar yowled as he scratched the tippy-top of Lightningpaw's ear. Lightningpaw jumped on the giant tom's face, scratching and biting furiously, making his face even worst than just having a giant scar. Then he jumped off, panting. " Give up yet? " He growled.
