Heart of Survival (A Warrior Cats fan-fiction)

-Chapter One-

Fierceheart was dreaming: She was running through a field in the sunlight when she saw a strange darkness in the distance. The darkness came over the nearby forest. She ran and ran and ran trying to escape the dreaded darkness when suddenly small animals started falling out of the trees, she stopped to look behind her and sped up when she realized that a dark cloud was about to engulf her. She looked at all the animals thinking 'What in the name of Starclan is happening?!' she saw that the animals were all squirrels! 'Does that mean something bad is going to happen to Squirrelstar? But this can't be a vision...right? I thought that only happened for medicine cats and leaders? But...what else could it be?' Then she felt something land on her back and she jolted awake. Her fur was standing on end...and then she realized that there was a yawning Swiftclaw on her back. "What are you doing you silly furball?" she said in happy relief. "I was cold." Swiftclaw said in a sleepy tone. "Fair enough. Where did Fernfang go? Is she on patrol?" Fierceheart said. She looked around the Warriors den and finally saw the light grey pelt she was looking for. Fernfang was curled up in the corner of the den next to Lilytail. "Hey, Fernfang?" she quietly hissed to the she-cat. "Graaaaaawr...*yawn* what is it Fierce? I was having a dream about chasing a big fat rabbit and I was about to catch it. So what is so important that you had to wake me up from my blissful sleep?" she said with a tired and sarcastic air. "I was just wondering if you were awake yet." Fierceheart said happily. "I should go over there and sit on you." Fernfang said affectionately. She stretched and yawned again then got up and walked slowly over to where Swiftclaw was laying next to Fierceheart. "That took you like five years to get over here." Fierceheart announced. "Oh, quiet you." Fernfang mewed. "Hehe." Fierceheart chuckled. Fernfang laid down next to Fierceheart snuggling into her fur with her tail entwined with Swiftclaws and Fiercehearts tails. "Lets sleep for a little bit longer then we could go on a hunting patrol. What to you guys think?" Fierceheart said. Then she noticed that the other two were already asleep again. "Well, I guess thats a yes then." She said sleepily.

---Sun High---

Sun was streaming into the warriors den. Fierceheart felt the warmth on her fur and opened her eyes reluctantly to see that the Warriors den was almost completely empty except for herself, Swiftclaw, Fernfang and near her was Shadowtail. Fierceheart got up and stretched and washed herself quickly then woke up her friends. Swiftclaw got up and shook herself then accidentally trod on Shadowtails tail. "Ow! What the in the world?! Why did you step on my tail you clumsy mouse brain?" Shadowtail hissed unhappily. "Oh! I'm sorry Shadowtail! I didn't mean too!" Swiftclaw meowed. "It's fine...I guess." Said Shadowtail reluctantly. "Hey, do you want to hunt with us?" Swiftclaw asked. "Sure!" Shadowtail said excitedly. "I love a good hunt at sun high!" she said. "Lets go then!" Said Fernfang shaking herself and zooming out the entrance of the den into the sunlight. "First one to catch three pieces of prey wins!" she shouted. "Coming!" said the other three.
