Warriors-Omen of Thunder-Book 1- Lightning of the Storm

Chapter 5

"Thunderclan! Shadowclan has taken enough of our territory. We are going to take back what's ours!" Honeystar yowled from high ledge. Most cats nodded, but the others stared at Honeystar as if she had jut told them to eat fox dung. "I will take Lionstripe, Ambernight, Lizardleaf, Spottpelt, Brownpaw, Lilyfern Darkshadow, Lightningpaw, and Flamepaw with me."

"I want to go!" Falconkit yowled.

"When your older," replied Silverfoot.

"Yes, when your older," agreed Ambernight.

Lightningpaw walked over to her best friends Willowpaw and Leopardpaw. "I am nervous," admitted the sandy colored she-cat.

"We all are on are first raid," mewed Leopardpaw.

"I remember mine. It was against Windclan. I gave Deadpaw a huge scar down her flank," said Willowpaw as she demonstrated a battle move.

"You'll do fine," praised Snaketail as she walked over to her kit.

"Thanks, mother," mewed Lightningpaw proudly.

"Come on let's go slowpokes!" yowled Brownpaw.

"Here we go," muttered Lightningpaw.

Lightningpaw walked through the Shadowclan pines. They were going to attack the camp. Everything was still. The wind did not blow. The sun was covered by storm clouds. Featherstorm had brought a few herbs and insisted he went with the raiding party.

"You need me there to clean fresh wounds," Featherstorm said as he walked next to Lightningpaw.

"I have a bad feeling about this," mewed Flamepaw. "Just look at the storm clouds."

"Hey! Lightning and Thunder both come from storms, and Thunderclan has both those. The strength of Thunderclan's leader and her apprentice Lightningpaw," mewed Brownpaw. His pelt ws sleek, but you could see the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

"Thanks," mewed Lightningpaw.

"Shh!" Lionstripe whispered loudly. Lionstripe was in the front of the clan next to Honeystar and Ambernight.

Honeystar laughed. "They're excited. It's your kits first raid."

Lionstripe blinked. Lionstripe's face was shocked. "I can't believe I forgot it was my son's and daughter's first raid."

"Well, here we are," mewed Honeystar.

They were standing in front of a huge bramble barrier. Rain had started to fall and dappled the pelts of the raiding party. The branches swayed back and forth in the wind.

"Ok, so I will walk in with Featherstorm, Lionstripe, Brownpaw, Spottedpelt, and Lightningpaw by me. The rest of you wait for my call," mewed Honeystar.

Lightningpaw tensed her muscles. I am about to walk right into Shadowclan camp, Lightningpaw told herself.

"Be careful," mewed Flamepaw.

"I will. Hey, don't come in tell Honeystar's call. I know how you think," purred Lightningpaw.

"Come on," mewed Featherstorm.

"Give her a minute she is nervous and loves her brother," murmured Lionstripe.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," mewed Lightningpaw.

The cats walked into the Shadowclan camp. "I can't believe no one has scented us yet," mewed Brownpaw.

"Oh, we have," mewed a noise from above.

Lightningpaw looked up. She was looking at a huge group of cats in the trees. She saw Noblestar and Airblaze, the leader and deputy of Shadowclan. She also saw Lilypaw and Flowerpaw.

"Hi, Lightningpaw," whispered Lilypaw. Her white pelt with the black spots were hidden behind pine needles.

"Stop hunting on our land!" Honeystar yowled as she unsheathed her claws.

"How about no," hissed a red tom.

"Pinetree!" Airblaze yowled.

"I apologize for my warrior's actions, but he is correct we need that piece of territory. We will fight for it. I am sorry about this outcome, but SHADOWCLAN WARRIORS ATTACK!!!" Noblestar yowled.
