Warrior Cats: The Four Clans

Chapter Three

Silverpaw sat and talked with the other apprentices from her Clan, her head low. The others seemed to nod; something was going on, and it wasn't good. And then Silverpaw confessed.

"Guys, the day I was named an apprentice, Moonbreeze and Lilacpool told me a prophecy about us," said Silverpaw with a distressed look. "And well, do you want to hear it? I can tell you guys later." Ebonypaw rolled his eyes. "Silver, youre not saving us by hiding it. We can silently get away from this."

Silverpaw twitched and fiddled with her tail. "But Why should we? It'd be better if" "Silverpaw," Eaglepaw whispered, "if we talk about it later, we'll all be asleep." Goldpaw whispered hurriedly, "We should hurry. C'mon!" Together, with the nervous Silverpaw at Ebonypaw's right flank, the confident Eaglepaw at the left and the guarded Goldpaw at the back, the four apprentices snuck through the brush silently.

As soon as they were in the darkness, Silverpaw's eyes glowed as the moonlight penetrated through cracks in the branches. The other's eyes glowed the colors they had before as Silverpaw spoke in a musical voice that belonged to a story teller.

"'As the four apprentices become one, the ice shall fall and rain shall pour.
The Crescent, the Dark, the Wings, the Treasure,
All shall flow into the river.
The fires shall burn as the laughs echo,
The Star, the Beta, the Healer, the Knight.
Smiles form on their lips as they fight,
The blood tainting their ivory teeth.
The Crescent Star, the Dark Beta, the Knights Wings, the Treasures Healer.
The night shall stay, for the sun has been gone,
Fierce are the Elders,
Strong are the Warriors.
Cuts shall be inflicted in relationships.'"

Eaglepaw was mesmerized, as were the others. "Silverpaw!" hissed a voice. It was velvet-sounding, but stern. It was Night. Hissing under her breath, Silverpaw composed her face and smiled. "Did you like my little story, Night?" Night sighed. "The Gathering is over, and I didnt hear whatever you were talking about. Your mentors went ahead. You guys and I are left."

Goldpaw tilted her head to the side and said, "Twigstar allowed you to watch us?" Night's bright eyes were energetic as she made her point. "I'm not always hyper, Goldpaw. I am a warrior after all." A smug aura seemed to radiate off of her. Ebonypaw sniffed the air and said in a blunt voice, "Ivoryclaw's still here. Ah, oh well. Night try, Night."

Silverpaw and Goldpaw laughed at Night and Ebonypaw as Eaglepaw muttered something that sounded like, "Ugh. Why Ivoryclaw?" They all padded after Night and Ivoryclaw into the now star-lit night. Their eyes glowed the certain colors again, as they set off, the prophecy heavy in their mind.


"Eaglepaw, Goldpaw, Ebonypaw!" shrieked Silverpaw, making each cat, as their name was screamed, jump up. Ebonypaw, his head beneath Silverpaw's, hit his head into Silverpaw's chin. Silverpaw just laughed it off as Ebonypaw hissed. But no one could help but crack up in laughter.

"So, what was it you wanted, Silver?" asked Eaglepaw, his voice muffled because he was eating. "Didn"t you notice? The camp is quiet. And its sun-high." Ebonypaw rolled his eyes as he said, "They're all probably getting a drink, and forgot about us." Goldpaw shook her head no as she said, "Rustfur would never forget I was here, no matter how ditzy she acts."

Silverpaw and Eaglepaw nodded in agreement as the sound of bones snapping filled the silence. It was eerie as they sat there. Silverpaw thought out loud, "Do you think something bad happened?" Ebonypaw mocked Silverpaw's concern by laughing. He was always so optimistic; even when he himself was scared. Right now, Ebonypaw was scared out of his mind.

Then a blood curdling scream filled the ear. Silverpaw immediately spit out her food and rushed out the camp, the other three not far behind. And as they exited the warm camp and run into the blizzard, they finally saw it. The blood, the signs of distress. And then they saw the cat being attacked by a cat of Brave Clan. Out of instinct, Silverpaw and Goldpaw pounced.

Thank you Night! The prophecy took me an hour to get together. XD

Night is watching out for joo, apprentices! *laughs*

I guess I was lucky, then? :)

I think I already kinda had this planned out... sorta. I mean, I met these guys when I was first introduced to Warriors. *laughs* I remember that. Everyone would talk about this site. *sighs* Ah, and I guess I thought of this earlier, and it just came back to me.
