Book 2 Chapters WIP

# Chapter 1 Specklefur

Specklefur, Snakepelt, Starlingfrost, Sorreltail sat in front of the camp entrance and the ground was cold. Specklefur shivered. She could not wait to take a nap. She waited until it was dawn and a senior warrior told them they could go pick a nest in the warriors den. They watched over the camp. Finally the sun came up and Specklefur saw a white she-cat come out of the warriors den.

“You guys can go pick a nest now.” Meowed Cloudfern

The four young warriors got up, The padded to the warriors den. Specklefur picked a nest on the outside. The oldest warriors slept in the middle.

⁕↞○↠⁕

Specklefur padded into the forest. She smelled something odd. She sniffed the air. *What is that smell?* She thought to herself. It smelled like another clan. But she knew it could not be possible. She went back to camp with a Giant Hawk that she killed.

⁕↞○↠⁕

The time had come, it was moonhigh, and all the other clans were asleep, but Bloodstar, Clawtail, and Blackflash, were still up and ready.

“ Ok,” Bloodstar said,” It is time to begin the attack.”

  Bloodstar guided Clawtail and Blackflash through the forest, stopping at the Featherclan border.

“ This is it, no turning back now clan.”

With that Bloodstar padded into Featherclans clearing, heading for the warrior den. When she made it there she met the first cat that she saw, a golden cat. Then Bloodstar swiftly took her claw and drew an upside down u, the sign of the undead clan, the secret mark, and padded back to their clan.

⁕↞○↠⁕

The Golden she-cat winced as she woke. She noticed it was bleeding. She padded slowly to the Medicine cat den.

“Hello Specklefur.” Meowed the old Medicine cat. “What's the problem?” Meowed the Cheery Medicine cat.

“Hey Goldenpool. I think I might have scratched my belly on a thorn.” Replied Specklefur.

“Bluefoot go and get some cobwebs.” Ordered the Older Medican cat.

“Okay Goldenpool.” Meowed Bluefoot as she went into the Medican cats storage place where they kept the herbs. *They smelled good*. Thought the young warrior.

“Now Let me take a look at the wounded.” Ordered Goldenpool. The young warrior padded over to Goldenpool and rolled over. “This looks like more than a thorn scratch. Are you sure it's from a thorn?”

“Yes I'm sure.” Replied the Young warrior. Bluefoot came back with the cobwebs.

“Here you go Goldenpool.” Replied the blue cat

“Thank you Bluefoot.” Meowed the Curious Medicine cat. Goldenpool put the cobwebs on the wound. “You will have to come back here in a couple days so I can make sure It does not get infected.”

“Okay Thanks Goldenpool.” Purred the Golden she-cat.

# Chapter 2 Silverflame

Silverflame and Goldensong, Snowflake, and Bluewing  were sitting in front of the clan entrance. *I wonder what Specklepaw is doing.* He thought to himself. *I wonder what her warrior name will be.*  He watched the sun start to rise. *I wish she was here with me. I also wish Flarepaw could be here with us too.* Clawtail walked out of the warriors den. Silverflame’s former mentor walked over to them.

“You guys can go to sleep now.” He meowed.

“Ok.” Meowed Silverflame. The four newly warriors padded to the warriors den. He picked a nest at the edge. And curled up and fell asleep.

⁕↞○↠⁕

Silverflame could not wait to go to the gathering. This would be his first gathering as a warrior. He waited by the tunnel. Bloodstar walked towards the warriors. She flickered her tail. Silverflame followed her to the fallen tree. They crossed it. There was snow everywhere. He could see Specklepaw by some warriors. He headed towards her.

“Hi Silverpaw!” She meowed.

“It's Silverflame now.” He purred happily.

“You got your warrior name? So did I. I'm Specklefur now!” She purred happily.

“That's a good name for you!” He purred.

“Thanks!” She purred. Her flank next to his. He smiled. He could hear the leader yowl. He sat down next to her.

Bloodstar stepped forward.

“We have four new warriors. Silverflame, Goldensong, Snowflare, And Bluewing.” She meowed.

“Snowflare, Bluewing, Silverflame, Goldensong.” Chanted the clans. Silverflame purred with happiness.

Bloodstar stepped backwards. Rosiestar stepped forward.

“We also have four new warriors Specklefur, Snakepelt, Starlingfrost, and Sorreltail.” She meowed.

“Snakepelt, Sorreltail, Starlingfrost, Specklefur.” Chanted the clans. Specklefur beamed with happiness.

Rosiestar stepped backwards. Twigstar stepped forward.

“Leaf-bare brings us enough prey to survive, We have a new litter of kits.” She meowed and stepped back.

Fishstar stopped forward. “Fishclan has enough prey for leaf-bare. We too have a new litter of kits. We also have Too new apprentices, Owlpaw and Featherpaw.” He meowed.

“Owlpaw, Featherpaw!” Channted the clans.

Fishstar stepped back. Moosestar stepped forward.

“Leafclan, Is doing good we have a new litter of kits.” He meowed and the leaders jumped off the great rock.

“Meet in the tunnels again?” Whispered Specklefur. Silverflame nodded.

# Chapter 3 Specklefur

Specklefur’s wound was throbbing. She wanted to meow in pain. She padded to the medicine cats den.

“It looks like it is infected, Bluefoot get some Chervil leaves.”

“Okay Goldenpool.” Meowed the Blue cat. A minute later she came back with Chervil leaves. The blue cat chewed up the Leaves and put some of the pulp on the wound. Right away the wound started to feel better. Goldenpool looked at Specklefur’s wound.

“Wherever you got that wound from it looks like it is gonna be a scar.” Meowed Goldenpool

“Oh.” Meowed the young warrior.

“You're free to go though.” Meowed the Medicine cat.

She padded out of the camp. She ran all the way to the lake and then sat down. Her golden pelt shined in the sun. She stood up and went to the Shimmer rock. She layed on one of the rocks.The sun was warm on a greenleaf day. Sparrowpaw walked over to her.

“Hi Specklefur!” Meowed the Tabby tom.

“Oh Hi Sparrowpaw.” She meowed Carefully.

“Are you ok?” Asked Sparrowpaw.

“Ya Im okay, I just want to be alone right now.”

“Oh, ok.” Replied the Tabby tom. And he walked slowly back to the camp. The golden warrior sighed. *Great, now my only friend is mad at me.* She thought to herself. She turned to look to see if Sparrowpaw was still there. But he was gone.  She closed her eyes and fell asleep in the sunlight.

⁕↞○↠⁕

When she woke up it was dusk. *I bet the clan is looking for me.* She thought to herself. She padded to the clan, still a little drowsy.

“There you are Specklefur.” Meowed Flamepelt.

“Sorry I fell asleep well while I was sunbathing.” The Golden warrior replied.

“It's fine.” The deputy meowed. Specklefur took a mouse from the prey pile. She sat down and started to eat it. She looked at the nursery. Her sister’s kits were really cute. Shadowkit came to her.

“I want to be just like you.” The Black tom puffed out his chest.

“Well that’s great.” The golden she-cat meowed. Then she jumped up and pretended to be a badger. She picked up the small black tom and put him on her back. And gave him a badger ride. *I wish I had a mate.*  She thought to herself.

“Shadowkit It's time for bed. Leave Specklefur Alone.” Meowed Sorreltail.

“Aw man.” He whimpered. Specklefur put the black kit down.

“You better listen to your mother.” She meowed. The Black kit ran to his mother. And joined his brother and sisters in the nest.

“Good Night Specklefur.” The black kit said before he fell asleep.

The Golden she-cat padded over to her new nest in the warriors den and curled up and went to sleep.

⁕↞○↠⁕

The Golden she-cat was woken up by a warrior.

“Specklefur wanna join us on a hunting Patrol?” Asked Bellaheart.

“Sure.” Replied the golden she-cat. She followed the other warriors out into the forest. They split up and the golden she-cat sniffed the air. She smelled a rabbit. She stalked it to the rock pile where she fell asleep a couple days ago. She crouched down. And then leapt at it but her hind legs gave out. And she scared the white rabbit away. But Bellaheart caught it.

“You're so weak.” Laughed the evil Grey she-cat. “Nobody will ever wanna be with you.” Specklefur hissed at her.

“Is this why you wanted me to come hunting with you?” Hissed the golden she-cat. She unleashed her claw. And So did Bellaheart.

“We all know I will win.” Hissed Bellaheart. Then some rouges surrounded them. “And even if I lose these cats will attack you if I lose. So you would lose either way.” “So you better leave the clan or I will attack you. I see the way Sparrowpaw looks at you. He is mine, he will never be yours. So if you leave he will see me instead of you.”

“You are a sick evil cat Starclan would never like this.” Replied the weak golden she-cat.

“You're injured, and weak, maybe you should just leave. The clan needs strong cats not weak ones.” The Evil Grey she-cat hissed. *Maybe I should leave, the clan doesn't need me.* She thought to herself. *But maybe not* . She leapt at the she-cat and scratched her.

“I will not leave without a fight.” She hissed. Bellaheart slid down and scratched the golden she-cats legs.

“Well then I will have to end you.” Hissed bellaheart. The golden she-cat fell down. And Bellaheart jumped on her and scratched her some more. “Well looks like my job is done.” Hissed Bellaheart. And then Bellahart went to find the other cats from the clan. “Specklefur fell into the river and drowned.” Said the evil She-cat. *Help Help.* She pleaded silently. The rest of the loners scattered. And then everything turned black.

# Chapter 4 Silverflame (WIP)

Silverflame padded along the shore line. He sniffed the air. *Specklefur! And the scent of blood?* He ran over towards the scent of Specklefur. He could hear her groaning. When he was close enough to see her, he saw lots of blood, her legs were out in the wrong direction. *Who did this to you!* He knew she needed cobwebs, He went into the forest looking for cobwebs, he put them on her wounds trying to stop the bleeding. The golden she-cat opened her eyes.

“Wh--what happened?” She meowed shakily.

“I thought you would know.” Meowed Silverflame looking at her with sadness.

“All I remember is, Bellaleaf attacked me.” She hissed.

The tom rubbed his snout over her face trying to calm her down.

“I will try to get the tree of you're leggs.” He meowed to her. He hopped that she could still be a warrior even if she couldn't he would still love her. The tom dug around the tree trying to loosen the tree. The tree started to budge, he dragged it off the she-cats body. The she-cat was passed out again. He felt her wounds felt hot. She picked up the she-cat and put her on his back. He had to take her to see Flarepaw. Otherwise she might die. He grunted under the weight of the she-cat. He made it back to the undead clan camp.

“Where is flarepaw?” He meowed frantically.

“He is in the medicine cat den. Why?” Meowed Pebbletail then she noticed the she-cat.

“Who is that and why can't she have her medicine cat help her? She hissed.

“Because her clanmate left her to die.” He meowed calmly walking towards the medicine cats den.

“Flarepaw! Specklefur needs help!” He meowed frantically forgetting to act calm. The orange tom grabbed Specklefur from him and put her on a nest, he felt the she-cats wounds. The grey tom sat down beside her.

“You might as well go back to your warriors duties, and give her some space. I will call you if anything changes.” Flarepaw meowed looking at his littermate. Silverflame licked his brother's ear and gave specklefur one final lick. *I will be back and I will find bella leaf and kill her.* He vowed to himself. When he got back to camp he saw Goldensong coming towards him limping.

“Goldensong what happened?” He meowed looking at his sister.

“Oh nothing it's just a thorn.” She winched. “I heard that you brought a featherclan cat back to camp.” she whispered. The grey tom looked away. He continued to the camp entrance. But before he got there Pebbletail stopped him.

“Do you want to go hunting with me?” She meowed calmly.

“Sure.” He mumbled. And followed her out of the camp. The she-cat was excited that he finally said yes. The grey tom sniffed the air. *Rabbit.* He crouched down into the hunters crouch. He raced after the rabbit. When he got close enough he leapt at the rabbit. He stepped on one of the rabbits legs and bit its neck.

“Good catch!” Purred Pebbleshine.

“Thanks.” He mumbled. He picked up his catch.

“I better ask clawtail if she can send a patrol to Featherclan to tell them we found one of their warriors.” He mumbled. Then he picked up the rabbit and the vole. And padded back to camp, he could feel Pebbleshine right at his heels. He pushed his way through the tunnel. He dropped the prey into the prey pile. He grabbed a mouse for Flarepaw. He padded into the medicine cats den.

“Hello, Flarepaw I brought you a mouse.” He meowed.

“Hello Silverflame.” Purred the ginger tom. He took the mouse from Silverflame. Silverflame padded over to Specklefur’s nest.

“Is she okay?” He mumbled quietly.

“She is sleeping right now, I just gave her a poppy seed for the pain. She woke up earlier asking about you. Do you know why?” He whispered.

Silverflame remembered that only Goldensong knew.

“Well, when I first became an apprentice I met her at a gathering.. And we have been friends ever since. We used to sneak out to see each other. Please don't tell anyone.” He mumbled quietly. He shifted his weight.

“I won't tell anyone.” Flarepaw mumbled. He padded over to Silverflame. He flicked his tail at Silverflame playfully.

# Chapter 5 Silverflame (WIP)

Silverflame sniffed the air. *Mouse.* He could smell the other cats that were on the hunting patrol. Pebbletail, Swiftfang, Goldensong. He crouched down into a hunter crouch. He moved slowly to the mouse. Careful not to alert it. The mouse was too busy eating seeds to notice the cat before it was too late. He leapt at the mouse. Grabbed it with his sharp claws. He landed on the ground and threw it against the tree. He caught it before it could run. Bit down on the neck. Killing it.

“Good job, Silverflame!” Purred Swiftfang. Goldensong carried a vole. The golden she-cat dropped it. She glared at her father.

“You know you have more than one kit, right?” She hissed at her father. “You did not want to act like a father until Silverflame became an apprentice and his mentor was Clawtail.” She lashed her tail and picked up her vole. Then his littermate padded back to camp, angrily. Silverflame picked up the mouse. He then went to retrieve the rest of his prey. He followed Goldensong back to camp.

“Goldensong wait.” He pleaded. He did not want his littermate mad at him. Goldensong stopped. And looked at Silverflame. Silverflame padded over to her. He rubbed his muzzle on her muzzle.

“I'm sorry that you did not have the family you wanted.” He mumbled in her ear. “But at least, Lionpelt was a better father than Swiftfang.”

They walked over to the training hallow. “This is where you will train fighting moves.” She meowed.

They then walked over to their shared border with Riverclan. “This is bored by the riverclan.”  River clan was across the river.

They walked to the shared border with the undead clan. “This is our shared border with the undead clan.

They then walked to their shared board with the Violet clan. “This is our shared border with the Violet clan.” Meowed Squirrelpelt.

“Ew why does their scent stink?” Meowed one of the new apprentices.

“Because they are a different clan.”

They walked then walked over to their shared border with leafclan. “This is our border with the leaf clan. Don't ever cross any of these borders unless you have permission.” Meowed the ginger she-cat. *I hate these tours.* The golden warrior thought to herself. She wished she could just run forever. They padded to the tolegged place.

“This is where we get our catnip from for when it's leaf-bare.”  Meowed the golden she-cat.

“It smells good.” Meowed Shadowpaw.

“WE only eat it when the medicine cats say we have to.” Meowed one of the mentors.

⁕↞○↠⁕

When they got back to the camp the golden she-cat was watching the kits.

“I want to be a medicine cat.” She heard Hazelkit meow.

“Well in a couple moons you will be an apprentice.” Meowed Bluefoot. “Maybe if I don't have an apprentice by then Maybe you can be a medicine cat.” She meowed. The golden she-cat padded to her nest and curled up.

⁕↞○↠⁕

“Shadowpaw time to wake up!” Meowed the golden warrior.

“Okay.” Meowed the black apprentice. The black apprentice followed his mentor. “What are we gonna do today?” He meowed.

“I'm gonna teach you how to hunt.” Meowed Specklefur.

“Okay.” Meowed shadowpaw. They padded into the forest.

“Ok now sniff the air. What do you smell?” The black cat sniffed the air.

“I smell a mouse.” He replied a minute later.

“Where is the scent coming from?” Meowed the warrior

“The east.”

“Now follow the smell but crouch down so it does not see you.” Replied the warrior. The black apprentice crouched down and started to walk to the mouse. He leapt at the mouse and crashed down. He missed the mouse. “You have to be more careful next time.  And you can't stomp otherwise you scare the mouse.” Meowed the amused cat.

“Okay.” Whined the tom. “I could have caught that.”

The golden warrior tried not to laugh. “You will catch the next one.” She meowed.

“Fine.” Grumbled the Apprentice.  They padded back to the camp.

“You did good for your first try.” Meowed the golden warrior.

“Ya well if I did good I would have caught it.” Grumbled the young apprentice.

“Lets not worry about it.” She meowed. “Why don't you head back to camp and take some prey to the elders and queens. And I will go hunt.”

“Okay.” He meowed. And ran all the way back to camp.

The golden warrior turned around and sniffed the air. *Mouse.* She thought to herself. She crouched down into the hunters crouch. And stayed hiding in the ferns. She stalked up on the mouse. And leapt at it. She swiftly killed it with the killing bite. She picked up the mouse and took it back to camp. And dropped it in the prey pile.

“You caught that fat mouse on the first try?” Meowed Shadowpaw.

“Yes, but I'm a warrior.” She answered him. “Warriors are expected to do these types of things.”

“Oh.” He meowed. And padded off to the prey pile and took a mouse. And then went to sit by himself. The golden warrior took a rabbit from the prey pile. And went to sit down and eat it. Then she padded to her nest and fell asleep.

⁕↞○↠⁕

She was in a clearing that looked a little familiar. “Specklefur. The clans are in danger, Five clans can defeat this danger but you will have to help the clans work together.” A silver she-cat meowed.

“How do you know my name?” She meowed.

“I'm your mothers mom.” Meowed the silver she-cat. “My name is Featherstar.”

“Wait the first leader of featherclan?” Meowed the golden she-cat.

“Yes.”

  “Only the Gold and Silver can save the clans now.” She said as she faded away.

“Wait Don't go!” Meowed the curious golden she-cat.

“What do you mean Gold and Silver?” She said to no one.

⁕↞○↠⁕

Specklefur woke up. *What was that?* She meowed. *Never mind must have been nothing.*
