This is a fanfiction story about the Warrior series minus the charries in the books.
Preface
The white, cold snow was pressing around her, threatening to suffocate her. She had no fight left in her body and she knew no help would come. So why keep fighting? Why keep prolonging the inevitable? So she did what she knew would happen eventually, she gave in, she gave into death, she gave in to the end of life. The blackness was all around her comforting her, cutting her off from the world she would never see again.
Chapter 1, part 1
Moonpelt trotted up to Wisestar “Aren’t you going to assign patrols?” she asked the ailing tom curiously.
”Where’s Blackheart?” He answered grumpily.
”He’s leading the attack on ShadowClan remember?” Moonpelt told him worried.
”Oh how silly of me yes I remember.” He said seeing the worry in her eyes.
Moonpelt sighed in relief as he trotted to the middle of the ThunderClan camp and started calling out names for the hunting patrol. She was surprised when he called out her name for dawn patrol. But nonetheless she trotted over to her fellow warriors, Pinepelt and her apprentice Amberpaw, Shiningdreams, Wheatpelt, and herself.
ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ
Once out of the camp the Moonpelt glanced at the rest of the patrol, a very large one actually unusual for the day of a battle. Pinepelt, who’s story was tragic her parents had been killed soon after birth by a group of raiding ShadowClan warriors, ever since that battle ThunderClan had been hostile to ShadowClan, Pinepelt’s apprentice Amberpaw who had been in a previous battle and had been injured stuck in camp for a moon while she healed, Shiningdreams who had been unofficially stepping in for the medicine cat that ShadowClan had killed, and Wheatpelt the only one in this group who had a good story no deaths or injuries had tarnished her life unless you counted when she was a apprentice when Moonpelt’s kits had been killed by a badger. Moonpelt shook her head trying to clear the memories before hers hit her.
Suddenly a loud yowl pierced the cold leafbare air and Moonpelt realized she had fallen behind the patrol and she rushed to the origin of the sound. The bitter ShadowClan scent filled her scent glands and she ran into a clearing to find the patrol being attacked by a huge ShadowClan battle patrol. Amberpaw was already gone, probably to get reinforcements, the problem was that there were none. The battle patrol had already left and we needed the rest of the warriors to guard the camp. Moonpelt shook her head as a ShadowClan apprentice flew her way, she made quick work of him giving him a bite even BloodClan would respect, as she watched him run out of the clearing towards the ShadowClan border, she leaped into the fray.
Battles are bloody sad things; although the warrior code prevents most killings they don’t prevent serious, even fatal injuries. I learned later that Amberpaw had been fatally bitten in the neck and had started to run back to camp. She never made it, she had been dead halfway there.
ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ
The days after the battles were horrendous, so much blood, death, and no medicine cat. The total count was 3 dead and countless injured, among the dead was Amberpaw, my mate Blackheart, and Darksoul. Blackheart and Darksoul died in ShadowClan territory and Amberpaw lost her life in our own territory. Wisestar lost his eighth life and is on his last one, the whole clan was terrified that their leader wouldn’t make it through the rest of leafbare, let alone the next attack.
“Moonpelt?” Pinepelt says, startling Moonpelt from her thoughts.
“Uh yeah?” Moonpelt replies.
“Are you ok?”
“Yeah why wouldn’t I be?”
“You know…” Seeing the blank look on Moonpelt’s face she adds “You lost your mate.”
“Oh yeah, he died fighting like a warrior. Like he always wanted to.”
“Oh.”
“Are you ok?”
“No.”
“Is it Amberpaw?”
“Yeah.”
“You do know that she died trying to save us, she died a hero.”
“I know but I just can’t believe she’s gone she was so young.” Pinepelt sobs.
“I know, I know.” Moonpelt says and puts her head on Pinepelt’s shoulder in an effort to comfort her.
“I better go the vigil starts soon.” She said and walked away to where the bodies lay in the center of the camp. Moonpelt followed and pressed her nose against her mate’s cold fur, signaling the start of the vigil.
