Warriors: The Rise of Moonfur

Chapter 10

Moonpaw pondered around her den... She was about to be made a warrior by Sand, Cloudclan's leader. She was very nervous as she watched the nearby freshkill pile with curiosity. Maybe I should grab a snack before the ceremony? She thought. As soon as she got there, Sand called a clan meeting. 

"All cats join under the dump for a clan meeting."

Everyone gathered in groups of two and three around her. Moonpaw slowly walked up to the front, her head bowed down. She twitched her ears with nervousness. 
What would her name be? She wondered. Moonflash... Moonpelt, Moonleaf, Moon... Foot? Sand's voice broke her thought as she sat down and curled her tail around herself. "Moonpaw, have you been loyal to this clan and will you continue to be?" Moonpaw nodded with a small yes.
"Then by the power of my leadership, I now pronounce you-"

A dog came out and charged toward the cats. Sand stared at it in horror. Moonpaw stared at Sand, then back at the large lumbering dog behind them.
Moonpaw leaped onto the dump.
"All cats hide your kits and yourselves! Shelter inside the dump! Kits and she-cats first! Hurry hurry!"
Moonpaw shouted at the cats as loud as she could. The dog came closer... Closer... Soon Moonpaw could see it clearly. Almost every cat were inside the dump now and the last of the toms were now entering. Moonpaw knew that the shelter wouldn't hold for long so she just decided to risk her own life.
"This is for you, Tiny." She whispered softly before charging at the dog.
Her jaws landed on the dogs throat as she hung on for dear life. The dog whimpered, but kept fighting the small cat that clutched at his throat. The dog found Moonpaw's tail and quickly bit down. Moonpaw yowled and clawed at his eyes. The dog blindly staggered over to Moonpaw and tried to find her neck. Moonpaw snarled and her claws flashed over the dog's throat. It started to wheeze. Blood poured out of the dog's throat. Moonpaw spit on the floor where the dog was laying. 
"Filthy mutt deserved it."
Soon it died, surrounded by a pool of dark red blood. Moonpaw narrowed her eyes. The clan came outside and witnessed Moonpaw standing over the dog. 
"Moonpaw! She killed it! She killed a dog!"
The clan cheered and cheered. Sand leaped onto the dump. "I now pronounce you... Moonfur, Deputy of Cloudclan!" 
Everyone cheered again. "Moonfur! Moonfur! Moonfur!"
Moonfur watched her clan, smiling. She then looked back at the dog. Hmm it was missing a Tooth... She soon found it right in front of her.
She decided that it would be a trophy of this victory. Moonfur took the tooth and lodged it onto her blue collar.
Moonfur, Deputy of Cloudclan.
