Warriors: The Forgotten Prophecy: Sunrise

CHAPTER FIVE

It had been 1 moon since Timberfur had gone to StarClan and since Adderpaw had become Adderstrike.

"Sunpaw! We will be traveling to the Moorland for a hunting assessment today! Mothchase and Foxpaw come along with us." The sleek cream she cat padded forward, with Foxpaw.

"Of course Skystar," mewed Mothchase. Skystar and And Mothchase took the lead while Foxpaw and Sunpaw followed behind.

"Hi Foxpaw," Sunpaw mewed.

"Hi! Hey I know someone that likes you!" The russet furred she cat purred.

"What?" Sunpaw's ears tingled with embarrassment.

"Yeah! Flamepaw! He always stares at you in camp." Foxpaw continued.

"Foxpaw! Sunpaw! This is a hunting assessment. You won't see us, but we'll be watching." Skystar announced.

"Foxpaw, take the Moorland near the creek." Mothchase told her apprentice.

"Sunpaw, take the forest near the SunOak." Skystar mewed. Foxpaw darted from the training hollow towards the Moorland. "Go on, Sunpaw." Skystar mewed. Sunpaw looked back at her father and mentor and trotted into the undergrowth.

Sunpaw's small, golden tabby body slid through the undergrowth. She twitched her whiskers sensing for the movement in the brush. The crack of a small twig crunching came from behind her. Silently, she padded slowly through the undergrowth where a huge plump mouse nibbled on seeds. Sunpaw pulled her haunches together, then leaped on the mouse. It struggled at first, nipped it's neck and it went still. Suddenly, a dark ginger tom strode out from behind a tree. His thick, fluffy, squirrel like tail swayed behind him.

"Greetings Sunpaw," meowed the giant stranger. His fur glittered in the sun.

"H-hello," she stuttered. He purred loudly.

"I assume you are wondering what my name is," the ginger tom mewed, "I am called Squirrelstar, I was the 3rd Sunclan leader." His loud voice boomed.

"Nice to meet you," Sunpaw responded.

"I am here to give you a prophecy,"

"W-what? I'm not a medicine cat!" Sunpaw said sounding startled.

"This has to do with your destiny!"

"What does..?"

"One of your kin, with the pelt of the sun, will unite our clans and find the ones we have forgotten."

"This prophecy has been shared with all of MoonClan and SunClan's medicine cats. Your clan's medicine apprentice is the first cat in seasons to foretell the prophecy that will retrieve the cats we have forgotten. They are crucial to your clan's survival." The ginger tom's eyes hardened. "It is up to you to unite the two clans and find the third..." Squirrelstar began to disappear.

"Wait! I don't understand!" Sunpaw yowled.

"One of your kin, with the pelt of the sun, will unite our clans and find the ones we have forgotten..."

Sunpaw sat stunned with the mouse still next to her.

"Sunpaw!" Skystar landed with a thud next to her. "Why you've barely caught anything!" Skystar gasped.

"Sorry Skystar..." She muttered.

"Well," he sighed "That squirrel looks very good, you still have 4 moons of training left. You will be the best warrior the clan has ever seen." Skystar purred and flicked his tail on her nose. Sunpaw purred as they padded together back to camp.
