Springclan (Basically a Warriors Fanfic)

Chapter 1

The patrol returned to the camp. The leader of the patrol immediately went up to one of the bigger dens

"Springstar?" he poked his head into the slightly shaded inside

"Leapflurry? What happened?" a light gray she-cat awoken to reveal a pair of light, green eyes

"There was an ambush near the thunderpath during border patrol," Leapflurry stated back quickly "Shadowclan was there with Rotfur," he added in

"Go see Honeywave, I'll deal with this," The Springclan leader stood up and stretched 'Another patrol ambush, I'll need to talk to Tanglestar about this,' Leapflurry stood in front of her

"Springstar!" he stammered "You're not going without me!"

"I'll bring Moonflash and Lakestorm," she pushed past her deputy as he gasped in pain "Go to Honeywave, I don't want you to die," Leapflurry gave in, nodding his head and walking out of the den to a ginger striped she-cat. The she-cat was already busy with four other warriors that Leapflurry identified as, Peacefall, Yarrowtail and his sister, Ivypad. Leapflurry stepped up to her

"Oh my stars, you too?" Honeywave gasped as she then turned to her apprentince, Dawnpaw "I'll need more cobwebs, please," The young, brown she-cat nodded and dropped her mouthful of goldenrod at Ivypad's paws as she went back into the medicine den. A cat passed by Leapflurry

"I can help, Honeywave," Leapflurry turned to face Witheredpaw. The light blue she-cat smiled a sweet and kind smile. Honeywave sighed

"Of course, thank you Witheredpaw," The apprentice grabbed the abandoned goldenrod and chewed some into a pulp, carefully spitting it onto the brown warrior's wound. Ivypad tensed at the sudden sting of pain shooting through her leg, but said nothing. Dawnpaw returned with the cobwebs, dropping them near Honeywave as the medicine cat worked on Peacefall, who stood quiet as she applied some Marigold onto her wounds. Dawnpaw looked up at Leapflurry,

"I'll get to you soon, hold up," she smiled before racing to the pile of goldenrod next to Ivypad and Witheredpaw before returning with some.

Dawnpaw chewed the Goldenrod into a liquid-like pulp before spitting it onto one of Leapflurry's wounds. The medicine cat apprentice then added the marigold pulp

"Lakestorm? Moonflash? I need to talk to you," Leapflurry turned away from Dawnpaw to see Springstar walking to the warriors den. Lakestorm looked at his jay colored friend before walking over to their leader "We are going to see Shadowclan,"

"What?" Moonflash gasped "W-We're crossing borders?"

"There was an ambush, again, at the thunderpath territory," Springstar replied "We are going to tell Tanglestar to stop the patrols over there, I'm not yet sure if it's accident or purpose, but it's only to check," Lakestorm nodded, but the she-cat next to him just stood still, a shocked look still on her face before she nodded also. Springstar flicked her tail "We must hurry, come on," Dawnpaw hissed, snapping Leapflurry's attention back to the medicine cat apprentice

"You're not going with her until tomorrow," the young, brown she-cat meowed "I know I'm small, but I'm making sure you're staying here,"

"I'm afraid for Springstar, she only has three lives left,"

"She'll be fine, Leapflurry, she's a good leader," Dawnpaw smiled, but some concern was hidden in her voice. Leapflurry sighed,

"I'm just...concerned,"

"It's okay, Leapflurry, I know you're not the only one," Dawnpaw placed the cobwebs neatly on the deputy's leg. Ivypad walked away from the den when Witheredpaw was done with her wounds, she fought the temptation to lick it to make sure it was clean, but she trusted Witheredpaw cleaned it herself. Ivypad approached the Nursery, greeted by a moss ball hitting her face. She saw one of the kits freeze

"Hollykit!" Shadestone gasped as she got up to lick the ginger kit

"It's okay, Shadestone," Ivypad smiled

"I know, I'm sorry for that though," the dark gray she-cat smiled when she lifted her head. Hollykit jumped over to the Thornkit next to her and they continued their game, ignoring the warrior and queen's chat. Shadestone observed Ivypad

"Oh my stars, are you okay?"

"We had an ambush during patrol, but other than that Witheredpaw healed me up,"

"Witheredpaw?" Shadestone looked at her paws nervously "That poor apprentice didn't deserve to be named that you know,"

"Why not mama?" Thornkit looked up from her game

"Well, let me tell you a story," Shadestone smiled.
