The Rise Of Sun-Clan | The Mountain Territory, #1

Chapter 10~Mountain Dangers

The sun started to rise, as the medicine den was filled with its bright light. 

"Violet'Paw, Meeting!" Blossom'Foot shook off and walked outside to see the clan had gathered for a meeting. 

Her and Violet'Paw took their seats and looked up to Adder'Star, along with Python'Snap who where talking about a dangerous baby mountain lion or whatever. 

"Violet'Paw could you watch the medicine den? I need to do herb patrol." Blossom'Foot looked to the apprentice who seemed a bit worried.

"Oh! Uh-m sure just be careful please!" Violet'Paw whispered. 

"I will, I promise you." Blossom'Foot replied, her voice calm. 

"Meeting Dismissed." Adder'Star looked to Blossom'Foot.

"Blossom'Foot do you have herbs?" Adder'Star said looking to the mostly empty medicine shelfs that where visible from the clearing. 

"No, I was just about to go on herb patrol." Blossom'Foot stood up.

"Okay just beware the mountain lion." Adder'Star she seemed worried. 

 Blossom'Foot got back, her mouth was full of herbs as the sun was about to dip under the trees and the mountain.

"Violet'Paw! How was being alone?" Blossom'Foot put the herbs down and started to sort them.

"It was fine, I guess" Violet'Paw looked to the sun as it was dipping below the mountains, the sky around the camp turning a dull shade of orange.

"It's getting dark you should sleep soon." Blossom'Foot said with a smile.

"Okay! Night, Blossom'Foot." Violet'Paw yawned, padding to her nest and fixed the moss around.

 Blossom'Foot continued to sort the herbs, and once she was done she yawned sleepily and padded to her nest and drifted off. 

Cream'Paw awoke to a loud thud on the roof of the den, "Huh?" He slowly got up to avoid waking the other apprentice's.

"He-hello?" Cream'Paw stared blankly at a shadowy figure that stood in front of him.

It snarled, and leapt forward the moonlight reveling the mountain lion.

"HELP!" Cream'Paw yelped, without a sound Blossom'Foot tried to pounce on the mountain lion, however she got bashed into a tree. 

"Cream'Paw run!" Blossom'Foot pounced back onto the mountain lion digging her claws into the beast. 

"I wan-t to hel-p you!" Cream'Paw was frozen in terror as Blossom'Foot fought the mountain lion.

"Run! Please! " Blossom'Foot screeched, grabbed the mountain lions fur and ripped it. 

It let out a growl as Blossom'Foot bit the mountain lions neck and tried to bite hard, however her attempt was unsuccessful, and she was hurled into a tree.

"Go hide!" Blossom'Foot coughed blood as she yelled at Cream'Paw who started to back up. 

Blossom'Foot rammed herself into the mountain lion and grabbed its neck again biting as hard as she could.

The mountain lion scratched Blossom'Foots leg, while she cried out in pain as a claw went through her fur, and pierced her skin.

She kicked the mountain lion with her hindlegs pushing it closer to a tree.

"Die! You foul beast!" Blossom'Foot yowled and pushed it into the tree, digging her claws into its neck, and a crimson liquid grew, the mountain lion's body went limp between her paws.

She let go, and it toppled to the ground, its eyes glazed.

She gave a small hiss before she limped to rapid rocks which was surprisingly close to camp. 

"I'll wash off then get back to camp." She whispered to herself as she looked into the shadows of the dark water.

Soon she went deeper into the water washing the blood off of her pelt. 

"Ick." Blossom'Foot chirped, as blood began to cloud around her paws. 

She looked to the edge of the waterfall looking into Gorge-Clan territory. "Darn mountain lions." She hissed. 

Soon she felt a ledge and almost tripped, and dug her claws into the sand.

She lost her footing and plunged into the dark, and cold water. 

"HELP!" Blossom'Foot screamed as she slipped closer to the waterfall, unable the grab a hold anything but sand, that ripped away from her claws.

Rocks bashed her sides as she was swept down the cascade of water.

She fell into the murky, and freezing water, the rapid waterfall dropping her down.

"S-Star-Clan?" She murmured as the moonlight dulled, before seeing darkness forever.

~Blossom'Foot opened her eyes, and looked around. Owl'Star stood in front of her, a soft smile spread across her snout. "Welcome, to Star-Clan's hunting grounds. You belong here." Owl'Star murmured softly into her ear.~
