ƒear| Warriors Fan-Fic | Chapter Sixteen Up! LAST CHAPTER!

[. ME]

Before I start, I want to tell you a few things.
First of all, I might mess up the paragraphs cause I don't pay too much attention in school. SO DO NOT YELL AT ME!
And second of all, Kess kinda inspired me to finally write this. I have read all three of her(At least, I think Kess is a her...) warrior fan-fic; SHADOWS, SHADOWS REVENGE, and SNOWFALL. I recommend you read them because they are awesome, along with the writer him/herself, Kess. And last but not least, this story may be a bit gory for some people. If you do not like stories that have blood and gore, I recommend you do not read my story.

Soooo, yepp. Now we start.

Chapter One:
Squirreltuft started to sniff her herbs. Leaf-bare was coming soon, and she didn't want to have no useful herbs. As she drew the herbs out of there store, she started to see what and how much she had. "Some Catmint, Feverfew, Borage, Tansy, Marigold, and Juniper Berries." She muttered. She needed more herbs.

She padded out of her den, and called out, "Littlestar!". The small, golden-brown tabby tom trotted out and over to her immediately. "Yes?" He asked. She shuffled her paws, and looked at him. "I need to go collect some herbs. I would like to go alone." She said. "I'm low on much herbs we are going to need for Leaf-Bare.".

The young tom nodded, and Squirreltuft padded out of camp. The two guards nodded as she slowly walked past them. "Hey, where you going, Squirreltuft?" One, a black-and-white tom, named Birdsky, asked. The other one, a white tabby she-cat, nodded in agreement. "To collect herbs." Squirreltuft replied. Her pale, dusty grey-brown fur was ruffled by the wind as she continued on.

As she continued to walk through the wetland she called home, fear engulfed her. She had no clue why, but it did. Slowly and carefully, she walked over to a patch of Watermint. She yowled as something knocked her in the side; She couldn't see what it was, but it did surprise her. She let out a furious screech as she saw it was a cat who had attacked her. How dare they attack a medicine cat?!

She scrambled feebly in the sleek cat's grip. It was a huge jet black tom, and mist was floating around him. He hissed, and slashed his claws across her throat. Just as she was about to let out a yowl for help, blood started to run down her just like the river. She let out a soft whimper as three more huge jet black cats appeared and tore at her throat. It was ferociously torn open as the four black cats bounded away, mist still wrapped around them.

She took a few raspy breathes. "Hey! Look!" A voice yowled. Was there even more black cats? Squirreltuft let out a moan as a few cats swarmed around her. As they let out gasps, saying stuff like, "Hey! Isn't that RiverClan's medicine cat, Squirreltuft?!" and "Oh my! What happened to her?!". Then a thought hit her; How would her apprentice, Dustpaw, going to become medicine cat?! He wasn't fully trained! Then a she-cat came into Squirreltuft's vision. "What happened?" The she-cat asked.

"F-fear..." She whispered. She couldn't finish her sentence-She was taking her last breathe. She gulped in air, and then closed her eyes. It was now her time to join her ancestors in StarClan.

Chapter Two:
The few ThunderClan cats murmured around the mangled, dead body of Squirreltuft, RiverClan's beloved medicine cat. Dreamcloud, a silver tabby, sat on a boulder. "Lionleap, Goldensong, and Whitebelly," She started. "We must tell Littlestar what has happened. He was very close to his medicine cat." She continued. Lionleap and Goldensong took a step up.

"We'll go!" Lionleap said. He was usually the one to take up offers. His sister, Goldensong, nodded. "Yes. We will go and tell Littlestar, and ask him to send a few cats to help you bring her body back." She said. Both of their golden pelts brushed together. Whitebelly nodded. "Yes. Good idea. Now head off." He said, flicking his tail.

Lionleap trotted to the river. As they arrived, the two cats on guard, Birdsky and Mintfur jumped up, pelts bristling. "What are you two doing here?!" Birdsky hissed. "We need to talk to Littlestar. It is very important." Goldensong growled. Mintfur looked at Birdsky, and the two nodded.

As the two golden cats went into the RiverClan camp, hostile glares burned into there pelt. Littlestar padded out, his deputy, Longfeather, right behind him. "Come into my den." He said. The two ThunderClan cats followed the two toms inside. Littlestar sat down. "Now, what is so important?" He asked. Lionleap sighed. "Me, Lionleap, Dreamcloud, and Whitebelly were on patrol. We saw your medicine cat, Squirreltuft, on your side of the border. She was covered in blood and her throat was torn open. She died, but right before she did, she said 'Fear'. Dreamcloud and Whitebelly are with her dead body. There waiting for you to send a few cats to help them bring her back." Goldensong explained. Littlestar's eyes filled with pain.

The golden brown tabby tom sighed and got up. "Alright." He sighed softly. He padded out, and yowled, "Let all cats old enough gather..." He started, but didn't finish. All the cats of RiverClan gathered. "Our beloved medicine cat, Squirreltuft, has died. A patrol of ThunderClan cats saw her. She was drenched in blood and her throat was viciously torn open. Right before she died, she said 'Fear'. Dreamcloud and Whitebelly from ThunderClan are waiting for us to send some cats to help them bring her body back to camp." He said. "Dustpaw, Rainflight, go help them carry her body." He ordered. Then he went back into his den.

Chapter Three:
Redpaw stomped through the forest angrily. He stopped at the edge of the river and thought of what had happened right before he left camp.

He had padded out of the apprentices den because he couldn't sleep. The first light of dawn was peeking through the sky, and he went to the warriors den. He had asked his mentor, Iceberry, if he could go hunting alone. She screamed at him and told him no, but luckily didn't wake up any other warriors. He had then ran out of camp as soon as Iceberry fell back asleep.

Redpaw's head jerked up as he heard the soft snap of a twig. Fear swarmed around him. Why am I so scared?! He thought. He let out a shriek as he saw something black flash by. What was happening?!

A giant jet black she-cat with mist swirling around her body leaped out of no where and landed on him. He let out an angry yowl and slashed at the cat's flank-A part of it disappeared. Was this cat...Dead?

No matter how hard Redpaw tried, He knew he would lose. As he gave up hope and landed on the gnarled roots of an oak tree, several more huge jet black cats with mist swirling around them appeared. They clawed and bit at the young apprentice's flanks, chest, and throat.

Tearing open the young, red tom's throat, the black cats disappeared. Redpaw's now matted fur was clotted with blood. He could feel his life slowly ebbing away, and his vision darkening. He suddenly heard a yowl; "Redpaw, No!"

He could distinguish the scents of four of his Clan-mates; Leopardclaw, Barkpaw, Willowpelt, and Thrushfeather. They all surrounded him, gasping. "That's just like what happened to Squirreltuft!" Thrushfeather yowled. Barkpaw let out a yowl of agony, and cried, "My poor brother!". Leopardclaw, who was Redpaw's father, started to lick his face. "Why, StarClan?! Why my son?!" He screeched.

Willowpelt stepped up. "I will do the dying apprentice ceremony since I am deputy!" She said quickly. She bent down and licked his head. "I ask my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has learned the warrior code and given up his life in the service of his Clan. Let StarClan receive him as a warrior. He will be known as Redfur.". Redfur smiled a weak smile. He was a warrior.

Then a thought hit him; If only I had listened to Iceberry! He let out a wail, wondering how he could be so stupid. He stopped as his vision ebbed away, and he joined his ancestors in StarClan.

Chapter Four:
Swiftshadow padded back and forth angrily. He stopped as a small, creamy brown she-cat padded in the clearing. "Swiftshadow. This is Redfur. He was killed by...Well, you know. What killed Squirreltuft." She said. Redfur took a step out from behind the brown she-cat.

"Thank you, Rosestar. But who is Squirreltuft?" The young tom asked. "She was medicine cat of RiverClan," Swiftshadow explained. "She was killed by the same thing you were killed by. I think she is coming here now.".

Just then, Squirreltuft padded out of the shadows. "I am Squirreltuft." She purred. She sat down and wrapped her tail neatly around her paws. "Now, tell me what you remember from dieing, if you don't mind? It is very important, and it might save the Clans from perishing." She asked. Redfur looked up at her wide-eyed and nodded.

"Well, I was sitting by the river...And...I heard a twig snap. I turned around, and I got really scared. I saw a flash of black move by. Then a huge black cat with mist around her body came and attacked me out of no where. Whenever I scratched or bit her, part of her disappeared. When I gave up, more of the black cats with mist appeared and killed me." He explained. Rosestar nodded. "That is useful information, Redfur. Thank you for helping us-And all of the Clans." She said.

Swiftshadow stepped up. "We think that those cats are apart of the Dark Forest. You know what that is, right?" He said. Redfur nodded. "Yes. They want to destroy the Clans. We..We suspect they have a leader who is giving them the commands. There actually taking some young kits and apprentices when they die, and bring them there, turning them evil and training them deadly moves." He explained. "You can kill them the same way you can kill an alive cat-With battle. If you kill them the way you would kill a real cat, they fade away. This also happens to StarClan cats." He continued. As he explained everything, Redfur kept on listening. He knew he needed to help the Clans.

Chapter Five:
Bloodpetal padded with her 'Clan-mates'. All of them were black-The whole of Dark Forest was turned into black, misty cats as soon as the new cat had taken over. She killed all the others. She said they needed to be dark to blend into the night and mist.

As she continued, a yowl split the air. Bloodpetal's ran to where the scream came from, breaking away from the group of her so-called Clan-mates. It's just an apprentice or someone else dying, She thought. As she arrived, she saw the body of a dark grey apprentice fading. I was correct. She purred in her thoughts.

A fluffy black she-cat with piercing amber eyes looked up. Bloodpetal shrank back as she peeled her lips back, revealing bloody, yellow, long teeth. She hissed. "Y-Yes, Ni-I mean Deathstar?" She whimpered. The she-cat growled, and slashed at Bloodpetal's chest.

She yelped and jumped back as part of her chest disappeared. "The Dark Forest needs smart cats, not ones who forget there leader's names!" Deathstar hissed. A small, smokey grey apprentice leaped out from behind Deathstar. "I want you to train Smokepaw." She continued. Bloodpetal nodded, and led the apprentice to a place with a rocky, sharp floor; The Training Room.

A small, lighter shade of black tom sat there. "Smokepaw," Bloodpetal said, beckoning the young grey tom over with her tail. Then she whispered into his ear, "Kill that tom over there named Mouseclaw.". Smokepaw nodded, wiggling his haunches.

As the young tom circled Mouseclaw, he finally leaped on him. He sank his claws into his throat, but Mouseclaw threw him off easily. He sank his claws into the apprentice's shoulders and clawed his nose. Smokepaw leaped again, but this time landed on Mouseclaw's back. He bit into his tail, and then bit into his neck. He unsheathed his claws again and also sank them into the small warrior's throat. Mouseclaw fell over, and faded into nothing.

Bloodpetal smiled. They needed cats like this. If only all Dark Forest warriors were this fast-thinking and tough.. She thought.



(Hope your happy, Now you have one from a Dark Forest cat's point of view, and a StarClan cat's point of view xD)
