Rosestar's Loyalty - A LGBTQ Warrior Cats Fanfiction ;3

Chapter 3

"ThunderClan! Attack!" 

Rosepaw flew towards a gray tabby, who struck him with the front paw blow. Rosepaw struck back with the back kick. The tabby hit him with the belly rake, and Rosepaw did the same, but after, a slash to the nose. The gray cat rushed away. Rosepaw felt a sharp pain on his tail, and turned to see another ShadowClan warrior who had sunk her teeth into his tail. He hit her with the leap-and-hold, then the front paw strike. She also leaped away. Rosepaw heard the high-pitched shriek of Patchpaw, who was being held down by an older ShadowClan apprentice, who was aiming bites at her throat. Rosepaw flung himself onto the cats back, as Patchpaw limped away. Rosepaw could see a deep gash in her shoulder. The apprentice Rosepaw was fighting flung him off his back and struck him with the back kick. Rosepaw fought back with the drop-and-roll and then the belly rake. The apprentice lept back, and ran away. "Retreat ShadowClan! Retreat!" Badgerstar cried, as his Clan rushed over to him, glad the fight was over.

Fergus ran over to Rosepaw with herbs in his mouth. "Let me help you Rosepaw." He said, dropping the herbs on the ground. "Is Heartstar okay?" Rosepaw asked, as Fergus tended to his torn claw. "I saw that he was hurt." "He lost a life." Fergus responded. "He has two left." 

"Oh." Rosepaw replied. "Okay."

Rosepaw was awaken by Frostpaw and Pinepaw, who had been made apprentices the moon before. They were rushing out the apprentice den towards their mentors, Swanwhisker and Featherclaw. Alderpaw and his sisters had been made warriors yesterday. Now they would be known as Alderstripe, Whitewind, Petalstorm, and Amberflight. Rosepaw was excited, for in only a few moons, he would be a warrior. He got up out of his nest. He gazed towards Alderstripe. His amber eyes where fixed on something in the distance. Rosepaw had feelings for him. Maybe they were just friend feelings, but maybe they were more than that. Alderstripe walked over to him. "Hey." He said. "Hello." Rosepaw purred. "Do you want to go on patrol?" Alderstripe asked. "Hunting?" Rosepaw remarked. "Hunting." Alderstripe confirmed.

When they came back, they had caught one vole, two squirrels, and two blackbirds. They placed the fresh-kill in the pile and Rosepaw took the vole to the elders.

He walked into their den. The elders were huddled together talking. "Hello." Rosepaw said. "Hello Rosepaw." Lostclaw meowed. "I brought you a vole, but if you like something else I can get that for you." Rosepaw purred. "May we have a squirrel?" Witheredwhisker asked. Rosepaw could see the gray on his muzzle as he spoke. "Of course." Rosepaw said. He dashed out of the den with the vole in his jaws. He grabbed a squirrel and went right back. Dropping the squirrel by the elders, Rosepaw went to see Patchpaw, who had gotten a thorn in her paw during training. He ambled into Fergus' den and saw Patchpaw sitting on a bed of moss, licking her paw. "How are you Patchpaw?" Rosepaw asked. "I'm ok." His sister approved. "Just a small thorn in my paw. Fergus was able to get it out though."

"Where is he?"

"Out getting catmint. Whitewind came with him just in case he needed some help."

"Oh." Rosepaw nodded. "Ok. Will you be ready for training tomorrow?"

His sister purred and said, "Yes I will. I'll just have to be more careful and watch where I put my paws."

"How is getting trained by Branchfall, by the way?" Rosepaw asked. "Is he strict?"

"A little." Patchpaw admitted. "But he knows a lot of moves. Swanwhisker said the trained in the Dark Forest, but I don't think he did."

"Hmm." Rosepaw answered. "I should go. Graytail said we where going to train tonight."

He got up. "I thought you already did!" Patchpaw called after him.

Rosepaw didn't answer. He wasn't going to train with his mentor. He was going to be alone. There were some things he needed to look over.
