A Loner's Tale | Warrior Cat Fan Fiction

|~ Chapter 4 ~|

Padding out of the den to find some new flowers, since the ones Caellium had previously collected had wilted. Walking towards some of the stray crates which were littered around the front and the inside of the Barn. Her paws made small yet easily noticed sounds, the dirt had turned to mud thanks to the rain from earlier this moon. She grabbed some red flowers, "If only blue flowers bloomed around here," Caellium said to herself with a sigh, they flowered near RiverClan? Besides, she's got nothing left to lose.

The journey wasn't that far, at least it didn't feel that far. Padding towards the camp, Caellium looked around for some of the flowers that she came here for. Finally seeing some across a small river she leaped without a second thought, a real mouce brain idea. Tumbling through a bush. Opening her eyes and blinking away dizziness from the awkward landing posture, Caellium shook out a few of the leaves that had found themselves tangled in her fur. Quietly looking around she noticed that she wasn't in a bush, she was in a den. Stiffening, Caellium took another look around. But a terrified queen and a litter of kits met her eye, She was in the nursery. Cursing herself quietly she met the Queens eye as she protectively wrapped her tail around the kits as they yowled. One of them wiggled out of her mother's firm grip and came running up to Caellium, biting her paw. "Wh- Ow!" She yelped in surprise, "Take that rogue!" One of the other kits, their sister, hissed at her. Crawling over and ignoring her mothers cries, she bit my tail. "Stop that!" Caellium flicked her tail just enough to get her off. Sighing she shook her paw, "go back to you mother," She said with another sigh. The Queens gaze burned into her, she licked the last kit affectionately before a warrior burst through the very easily seen entrance. "Fox dung." Caellium hissed to herself. He seemed stunned for a moment, a few seconds of awkwardly staring at each other before he blinked and called out, "Rogue! Rogue in the nursery!" Caellium blinked, confused and honestly a bit frightened, two more warriors came in. She didn't even get a good look at them before one of them pinned me. "Hey!" She yelped, making sure her claws were still sheathed. "Get out of our territory!" They growled, bearing their teeth, making my fur damp with their drool. Well that's a bit difficult while I'm pinned. Caellium thought, seemingly sarcastic. Looking behind them, the other two warriors were escorting the queen and kits out of the nursery, one of them glaring at her, clearly waiting for a fight, the other reassuring the queen. It took a sharp claw to her side to remember. Caellium wasn't in a good place right now. Quickly squirming under the warriors weight, She flicked her tail harshly, causing the warrior to lose their balance and collapse with a thud. Caellium took another look around, one of the other warriors were racing towards her and she tumbled through the back of the nursery. Barely having enough time to inhale enough air she coughed, ending up under the surface, her shoulders pinned by the warrior. She winced under water, small bubbles escaping, there wasn't much air left. She squirmed drastically, trying to escape, the floor of the river being muddy and unstable she flicked her tail up, trying to reach air. Her eyes widened and she rapidly looked around trying to find a means of escape. Her tail went numb, the cold water lapped at it with such ease. Caellium blinked, feeling like she was about to pass out, she could see the warrior above her. Brown fur, a leopard like pattern and cold yellow eyes. Caellium blinked again, slower this time, the water seemingly weighing her lashes down. Seeing blood cloud the water above her, blocking the view of the warrior cat, she coughed out a choked sob, before greeting the darkness that followed with a clear and open heart and mind.
