Legend of the Bear Claw (Warriors Fanfiction)

Prologue

"Owlleaf! Owlleaf!" A young tom whispered, sounding almost frightned. Owlleaf opened his eyes and saw his friend, "Dragonheart? what is it?"

"There's something you need to see!"

"But it's so late"

"I know, I know, I'm sorry, but it's serious! You have to come!"

Owlleaf got up and stretched as Dragonheart shifted his weight anxiously. Owlleaf yawned then looked up at the sky, he could see the stars struggling to shine through the clouds as they grew thicker and thicker. "Come on!" Dragonheart's anxious mew pulled him from his thoughts, he shook out his pelt then followed him out of camp. "So... Are you gonna tell me what's so important?" Owlleaf asked. "You'd never believe me" Dragaonheart replied.

"Of course I'd believe you, you're my best friend"

"No you wouldn't"

"Don't you trust me?"

"Yes, but this is different"

"Then just tell me!-"

Dragonheart cut him off, "We're here" he said in a sinister tone. "I don't get it what's so important about..." Owlleaf trialed off when he saw the blood-stained, limp body of Mousefoot, his mate. Owlleaf ran and crouched next to her lifeless body, he could hear Dragonheart walk up to him. "I'm sorry.." Dragonheart said solemnly as he sat down next to him. "Do you know who did this?" Owlleaf muttered, not taking his eyes from Mousefoot. "I... I don't know" Dragonheart looked down then he pawed Owlleaf lightly, "But what ever it was, it didn't spare a single member of the night patrol." Owlleaf looked over and saw the rest of the night patrol, laying on the blood-stained grass without a single sign of life, his eyes widened in fear. Dragonheart sniffed at the bodies then looked back at Owlleaf, "The only thing big enough to do this much damage would be a bear, but all I smell is blood" That word echoed in Owlleaf's head, "Bear.." he said to himself.
