Faithkits dream(warrior cats series:faith rising, book one)

5 What did you say you did?

   Faithkit woke with a gasp, her dream about fire flashing in her eyes.  What does it mean.  Faithkit frowned in frustation, walking out of the barn. "Hi, Faith did you sleep well"?  Owl asked, padding up to her.

" No," she retorted.  Faithkit lashed her tail, stalking off into the forest.  Ugh, why cant owl just  leave me alone, she thought, growling.  Faithkit stopped at a branch on the ground, digging her claws into a leaf.  The bark shone with little droplets of blood.  Faithkit narrowed her eyes, lashing her tail. 

"What the- great starclan," she said, grasping a stick to help her from swaying.  The blood looked fresh, not like faithkit would know, never really sewing blood except in her own fur.  Faithkit sniffed it, shaking her head in disgust.  Whos blood was it?  Was it fox blood?  Or a cats blood.  She shivered at the thought.  

    The birds chiped in the trees as if a battle had never taken place.  Or perhaps someone had just got a paw stuck in a bramble thicket.  Faithkit hoped that was what happened.  A humming bird flew past her ear,going to a flower next to the log.  a sharp scent hit the air, and Faithkit knew what is was...  It was loner.  Loner smelled like crowfood.

''hey loner, whatcha doing over here"?

 "Just exploring".  Faithkit knew him well enough to tell he was lying.  Faithkit watched his face as he saw the blood.  He didn't seem surprised.

" you finally learned our secret"?

 "W-what secret"?

"That we hate the clans".  Faithkit widened her eyes, stunned.  "Whos blood was this", she thought out loud.  "Random cat calling herself Acornstar, shes a clan cat", loner said. 

Faithkit shot him a glare, then hissed.  Faithkit had grown some in the past, and she thought she coupd probly fight him without being hurt.

" you-mouse brain"!  With a flick of his tail, the rest of the group jumped from the trees, there eyes glinting for battle.  Only owl didnt look like the rest of them.  Her eyes glinted sympathetically.  Faithkit ruffled her tan fur, making her look bigger, although she was frightened.  Then she noticed engraved in all of their fur was a sign.  It looked like a flaming eye.  A symbol for war.  Only the clans knew that symbol.  Which meant one thing... Loner was once a clan cat.  Faithkit knew some dodging moves, so if loner attacked, she could dodge.

Something knocked into owl, hitting her to the ground.  In fact, it was loner.  He had been quick as a mouse.  Owl pushed loner off, her eyes wide in shock.  She looked at Faithkit and Faithkit knew what she was thinking.  

If i die, take the kits to Thunderclan.  She slightly nodded, assuring her she understood what she meant.  Faithkit realized that she wasnt doing anything to help owl.  With a blood curling screech, Faithkit launched herself at loner.  

 "You're attacking your mate, you excuse for a fox brained cat", she screeched, clawing at loner, but not doing much.  Loner seemed to be hit by a monster, because he fell to the ground, looking dead.  They wernt even near thunder path so faithkit had only used a metaphore for the first time in her life.  Faithkit reared on her hind legs to see over loner and at owl.  Stepping over loner, she trod carefully to her.  As Faithkit did, loner jumped up, causing her to be thrown away like bad fresh kill.  Luckely, she landed in a tree, and not on tue ground, if she had landed on the ground, she would have had a good chance of breaking some bones.

She swayed on the branch, yowling as loud as she could for a Thunderclan patrol. Her head buzzed like a hive of bees.  "Ow," she said, wincing.  As if on cue, a Thunderclan patrol made up of firestar, Dovepaw, Finpaw, Alderleaf, and Mapletree were pelting over to where the loners were fighting.

 Finpaw leapt onto loner, while dove paw leapt onto owl.  Firwstar leapt onto a cat she couldnr see, aldeeleaf was helping dovepaw, while mapletree was helping Finpaw.  Faaithpaw hooked her claws into the rotting bark, coughing at the scent of blood.  The clan cats turned to the tree she was in, their eyes wide.

"Faithkit"?

"Ugh-its deadkit, i had hped she died when me and windclan plotted to capture and kill her", Finpaw said a bit too loudly so everyone could hear.

"I did NOT just hear you call Faithkit deadkit,  i did NOT just hear you say you plotted with windclan", Firestar said with a growl that turned into a hiss.  Finpaw looked as if she could sink into the geound with embarrassment. Her eyes were wide despite the sun that shone high in the air.

" I-I was just joking, firestor-I mean firestar", Finpaw said, hesitating.  Firestars eyes flashed with a slight anger.

 "You will do elders den alone for three and a half moons, i hope you might learn after that, even then, until half a moon after that, you cant leave the camp", Firestar said, his eyes narrowing.

" Well, not like I would be able to, with the punishment your giving me, do you like punishing warriors"?  Finpaw retorted.  Faithpaw inwardly sighed, her fur standing on end.  Of course Finpaw would complain, she won't ever learn that spoiled apprentice, moonlight would kill me if i acted like that.  Loner took this chance to leap onto firestar and cling onto him like a tick.  Firestar's legs buckled beneath him as he fell to the ground, his eyes lighting with surprise.  At that moment, the rest of the group leapt into battle against the clan.  Finpaw was lucky to not be exiled.  Then she relized, Finpaw had said warriors, not apprentices.  And that could onlt mean one thing.  The apprentices had become warriors.  Dovepaw climbed up the tree, picking her up.  Faithkit wanted to yowl in frustation that they were all fighting.  Why did loner hate the clans, anyways?  Faithkit flattened her ears, searching for words to tell them.  

 "Just stop fighting", she yowled with all her might.  The cats turned to her, confution spreading across loners face.  

" She's right, this fighting is pointless", mapletree said.  Firestar flicked his tail, signaling that the clan came with him, but a cat stoped him.  It was Talon.

"Wait" , Talon said.  

"I want to come with you, Faith.  Faithkit almost thought she had been hit by a monster.  She knew talon wasnt lying.  As they walked away, Faithkit could hear Tinyheart and Loner talking.

" do you think shes loyal to us still, loner"?

 "When we attack her clan, i belive she will fight with us, i know what Thunderclan did to her.  And what they did to me.  We both want revenge.  She's not strong enough to let go and be that loyal.  She will never choose Thunderclan over me, she has to deal with that, if she likes it or not.  I will come later in her lofe.  When shes an apprentice, thriving for revenge.  She will remember me.  I know she will, but she will see me differently thay how we left.  She might look for me, but whatever it takes, if i can turn her away from her clan Thunderclan shall fall".

"What about talon"?

" Talon?  I coudnt care less about Talon".
