[OLD] Moonlight Prophecies (Book 1) [Warrior Cat Fanfiction]

Chapter 15

     "Are you sure?" "Of course I'm sure!" "It's dangerous." "So?" Skyheart sighed. "If I can't change your mind, I may as well help you." She pushed some herbs forward with one paw. "This will keep your energy up." She meowed. Moonpaw lapped up the herbs, and winced at the sour taste. "Okay. Now what?"

     Skyheart thought for a moment. "Well, you have to go to the Twoleg place to find it. The Twoleg place is next to ThunderClan territory, so be careful. If they accuse you, just say that you're not on their territory. If they ask you what you're doing, say that I sent you to get some herbs to stock up for leafbare, just in case." "Can't I just say it's none of their business?" The ShadowClan medicine cat apprentice let out a small mrrow of amusement. "Sure. You could say that too."

     As she left the medicine cat den, Icepaw raced over to her. "Moonpaw! Moonpaw! Where are you going?" "Solo hunting." She replied. Icepaw sniffed the air. "Why do you smell like herbs?" She asked. "I was helping Skyheart sort them." Moonpaw said innocently. "What did you think I was doing?" Icepaw blinked. "Nothing. Why?" "Just a thought." "When will you be back?" Moonpaw hesitated. She decided to answer truthfully. "I have no idea."

                                                                  ~☘️~

     Moonpaw slunk along the fence that separated the clan's borders from the kittypet's territory. She sniffed the air. There's no boundaries keeping me out! She leapt over the fence, casually looking around. A rustle near the ThunderClan border caught her eye, but she ignored it, although she flicked her ear to indicate that she saw them. Hmph. They think they're so stealthy! Crawling through the thorns! Well, my clan can disappear into the shadows in broad daylight! Take that frogbrains!

     No sign of ShadowClan. She sprinted farther into the Twoleg place. Think! Where did the ThunderClan leader Firestar used to live? Argh! It came out in the nursery tales! "Hi!" A cheery voice meowed.

     Moonpaw whipped around. The kittypet she was facing had sleek white fur, with glowing violet eyes. "Hi." She meowed casually. The kittypet sniffed her. "You're not from around here are you? Are you one of those wild cats?" "Yes." Moonpaw said proudly. "I'm from ShadowClan, the best clan." The kittypet flattened her ears. "Ooo! I heard about them! I heard they're vicious!" Moonpaw snorted. "We can when we want to be."

     The kittypet purred. "I'm Snowy." She said. "I'm Moonpaw." Moonpaw replied. "Do you know this place well?" Snowy puffed out her chest. "Every corner!" She boasted. "Then do you know a tree that has a sharp scenting sap?" Snowy paused. "Hm... I think I do! Follow me!" She bounded after the kittypet, hope welling up inside of her. Maybe it's the cure! Maybe I will be able to save my clan! But... will they accept me after what I did?

                                                                        ~☘️~

     "Right here!" Snowy mewed. Moonpaw peered over the fence. A huge tree grew in the center of the clearing, which Snowy had called a yard. It's branches were reaching towards the sky, and the leaves looked gold in the light. "Bye Moonpaw!" Snowy purred as she raced off. "Nice meeting you!" "Bye Snowy!"

     She leapt down from her perch on the fence, and circled the tree. Sure enough, the scent of sap overwhelmed everything around her. She gently raked her claws against the bark, and was delighted when some sap oozed out.

     "What are you doing?" A voice hissed. She turned around. A pure black she-cat with furious green eyes was snarling at her, her fur bushed up. "That's my tree! And this is my territory! And you're on it! Get off my territory or die!" Moonpaw hissed. "Well I need the sap. If you want to defend your territory, you have to fight me!" The she-cat's eyes blazed. "I've never lost a battle! Greet your precious StarClan forest cat!"
