A Dark Prophecy~ warrior cats fanfic

Chapter 3

Silverpaw dreamed of running across the moor until she came across the Windclan camp. She peered over the edge and saw two cats talking. As Silverpaw kept watching she recognised one of the cats as Otterstar. Curious, Silverpaw climbed down into the camp and hid under a bush. Her ears pricked to listen, she heard them talking about someone. "We have some serious news" the mysterious cat said. Concern was plastered all over Otterstars face. "We have a Prophecy for Windclan" the cat continued. Silverpaw listened quietly. "There will be 2 kin of Thunder that will save the clans once and for all" the older cat finished. Otterstars eyes clouded with worry. "Kin of Thunder? Does that mean Silverpaw, Ferretpaw, Sparrowpaw or Adderpaw?" Otterstar questioned. "You'll have to find out" the old cat replied. Suddenly, everything faded away.

"Wake up, Silverpaw" Ferretpaw complained while poking her. "What?" Silverpaw asked sleepily. Silverpaw blinked open her eyes and realised it was still dark. "Is it moonhigh?" Silverpaw asked. "Yes and we're on the border patrol" Ferretpaw replied. Silverpaw scrambled to her paws, shaking off dried moss. "Who else is coming?" Silverpaw questioned. "Us, our mentors, Adderpaw, Sparrowpaw and their mentors" Ferretpaw meowed. Silverpaw shook herself once again and padded out of the den with Ferretpaw at her paws. Together they bounded across the clearing and waited at the entrance next to Bluemoon. Starlingspirit, Dapplefeather, Adderpaw and Sparrowpaw came padding out of the apprentice den. Frostflower padded over from the fresh-kill pile. "Everyone ready?" Bluemoon asked. "Yes" Everyone replied in union. Silverpaw yawned and trotted out of the camp after Bluemoon. She longed to race along the Moor and feel the wind in her fur. As they left the camp, the moon shone on Silverpaw's pelt making her glow in the darkness. Silverpaw parted her jaws and an unfamiliar smell flooded over her. "What's that smell?" Silverpaw asked, alarm flashing in her eyes. "Shadowclan!" Starlingspirit hissed. "They must have crossed the border!" Dapplefeather growled. Just then, a flash of black fur bolted in the corner of Silverpaws eye. "Is that Lynxtail?" Silverpaw hissed, flicking her tail towards the cat. "It is!" Starlingspirit growled. Without listening for an order, Silverpaw hurled herself across the Moor towards the cat. Her paws carried her on quicker and quicker until she reached the cat. The Windclan patrol skidded to a halt infront of the Shadowclan cats. "What do you think you're doing here?" Dapplefeather snapped. "Nothing you should be concerned about" Lynxtail hissed back. Silverpaw looked behind him. "Then who's that behind you with our prey?" Silverpaw questioned. Lynxtail turned around to look. "Toadleg, I told you to go back to camp!" Lynxtail growled. "Sorry I thought you needed help" Toadleg mewed, putting down the rabbit he was carrying. "They're stealing our prey, what do we do?" Silverpaw hissed into Bluemoons ear. "Warn them to leave and if they don't, attack" Bluemoon replied. "If you don't leave now," Silverpaw began," then we will have to take matters into our own paws." "Is that a threat?" Lynxtail growled. "Yes it is" Silverpaw replied. "You're only an apprentice, what will you do?" Toadleg sneered. "Should we attack?" Silverpaw hissed to Bluemoon. "Yes" Blumoon replied calmly. Without a second thought, Silverpaw let out a loud screech and launched herself at Lynxtail. She dug her claws in Lynxtail's back and bit down into his scruff. Blood pounced in Silverpaws ears. Her mind whirled as she remembered her training the day before. Behind her, Ferretpaw and Sparrowpaw were fighting side by side. Suddenly, Lynxtail rolled onto his back, crushing Silverpaw underneath him. Lynxtail jumped up and pinned Silveroaw to the ground. Remembering her training from yesterday, Silverpaw went limp underneath Lynxtail's grasp. "I told you apprentices couldn't do anything" Lynxtail sneered. Without replying, Silverpaw raked his belly and kicked him away. "Who said I was finished fighting?" Silverpaw hissed. She hurled herself ontop of Lynxtail and raked his belly once more, causing it to bleed. With one final screech, Lynxtail scrambled up and hurled himself over the border. "And don't come back!" Silverpaw called. Turning around, Silverpaw saw that the battle had ended.........
