Warriors Fanfiction: Fireclaw's Lives

Chapter 1

     "Let all cats old enough to run the moor gather around the Skyrock for a clan meeting!"

     "When do we go mum?" Dawnkit asked

     "Wait." Lightheart meowed. She wrapped her tail around her lovely kits. Cats gathered around the Skyrock. Swiftstar lashed her tail to silence them.

     "As you know, the nursery has been very busy, but three of our kits have reached the age of six moons, as it's time for them to be apprenticed. Firekit, Dawnkit and Lovekit would you please come up here."

     "Go on." Their mother whispered. 

     "Firekit, from now on you will be known as Firepaw. Brightsky, you are ready for an apprentice?"

     "Yes, Swiftstar."

     "You will mentor Firepaw."  

     "Dawnkit, from now on you will be known as Dawnpaw. Cloudtail, you are ready for an apprentice?"  

     "Yes, Swiftstar."

     "You will mentor Dawnpaw."

     "Lovekit, is it your will to become a medicine cat?"

     "Y-y-yes Swiftstar."

     "Lovekit, from now on you will be known as Lovepaw. Grasspelt, you are ready for an apprentice?"

     "Of course!"

     "You will mentor Lovepaw. Clan dismissed!" 

     "I never thought this day would come!" Started Firepaw

     "I know!" Dawnpaw squeaked.   

     "Are you done being kits?" Brightsky meowed

     "Sorry, Brightsky." Firepaw meowed.

     "Sorry" Mumbled Dawnpaw

     "What are we doing?" Firepaw asked when they were out of the camp. "Where are we heading? "  Thought Firepaw.

     "I'm going to teach you hunting, It's a bit of a walk to the moor, so just keep up." Brightsky meowed. Firepaw thought it was weird to be hunting on the first day, but kept moving. 

     "Here is the moor." Brightsky's voice made Firepaw snap out of his thoughts. "I'll teach you the hunters crouch. Crouch like this and walk." 

     Firepaw tried it, finding it to be easier than he would have thought but when he started to walk, his legs failed him.

     Brightsky laughed. "Your belly is too low,  it shouldn't be dragging across the ground, and your tail should be dropped."

     "Oh," Firepaw said, he couldn't think of anything else to say. He tried it again crouching higher this time, with his tail dropped, but not dragging.

     "Yes! Good job!" Brightsky meowed but Firepaw wasn't listening, he scented some mice nearby and headed toward it. Slowly crouching he felt the grass brushing his pelt, and he pounced. He had barely had it when he caught a tail and used his other paw to keep it there. He quickly gave it a killing bite and picked it up in his jaws.

     "Good, but your leap is really off. You need to lift your front paws first then leap. You are also very unbalanced when you leap." Brightsky emerged from behind. By twilight, Firepaw managed to catch a plump mouse and a scrawny rabbit that he somehow had mistaken as a bird. Brightsky had caught a rabbit and two plump mice.

     "I think we might have to make two trips to carry this! It's enough to feed the clan for a moon!" Firepaw exclaimed.

     "No need." Dawnpaw and Cloudtail padded towards them.

     "Where did you come from?" Brightsky asked

     "We saw you when we were heading back to camp, do you want me to carry your rabbit?" Cloudtail meowed picking up the rabbit."

     "Sure, thank you." Dawnpaw helped to carry the mouse and I carried the rabbit.

     We got back to the camp and Firepaw and Dawnpaw was chatting about today. 

     "I explored the territory, Cloudtail even showed me the underground lake!" Dawnpaw squeaked.

      "Well I learnt how to hunt, and you can't even catch a mouse!" Argued Firepaw.

      "Bet I can!" Dawnpaw argued back.

      "When your done kits, you can move back to the nursery." Cloudtail padded in.

       "Yes." Brightsky joined.

        "S-s-sorry! I'll bring my prey to the nursery and I'll make the bedding as well!" Firepaw slammed 

        "That's ok, I guess that will make up for it, as Dawnpaw, I think taking elders ticks will do for you." Cloudtail meowed.

         "Eww!" Dawnpaw meowed angrily and headed off the medicine den. Firepaw dipped her head to the mentors and headed to the nursery.

         "Shhhhhhhh! Dewleaf and her kits are sleeping!" Featherwing whispered. 

         "Here's the prey and what about bedding?" Firepaw asked.

         "Me and Featherwing changed ours this morning, and Dewleaf doesn't want to be disturbed. Would you do us a favour of taking the old bedding to the dirtplace?" Littleclaw asked

         "Sure!" He meowed picking up the moss and padding to the dirtplace.

         "Apprentices and Warriors may have there share of prey now!" Swiftstar called. His choices way endless, there was way too much prey. He chose a Rabbit for Lovepaw and Grasspelt and padded to the medicine den.

         "Lovepaw! Grasspelt! Would you like this rabbit?" Firepaw asked.

         "Oh, Starclan! Is there that much prey today? Lovepaw! What do you say do you want to share this with Firepaw?" Grasspelt exclaimed.

        "Sure!" Lovepaw meowed padding over. Firepaw ate his share and padded away, nodding thanks at them and curled up in his nest.
