Warriors: Power of Three #2: Dark River

Crickets chirped through the dark night. A silence blanketed over the field, making lightning and blueberry’s present unknown. They stopped at a hallowed log that was chopped down. Lightning sat down in a clump of moss as he sighed from exhaustion. Blueberry sat in a nest as well but stared up at the night sky. A dark blue and black she came into view. Blueberry’s ears perked up as she walked to the cat. “ blueberry! There you are!” The she said . “ I’ve got the Tom, he trusts me so far..” blueberry responded , looking back at lightning. “ good, remember, bring him to the camp -“ the she turned to the sleeping Tom. “ mist, don’t you think that he’ll suspect that something is going on when I bring him?” Blueberry cut in. “ just say that it’s deserted, and you’re just getting some stuff-“ mist’s dark blue eyes gleamed in the moonlight as she turned around, “ look, I’ve gotta go, I’ll meet you at camp” Mist turned around and padded away into the damp and dark light of the forest. Blueberry trotted through the grass.and back into the nest. She peaked up at lightning and turned gaze away and frowned. The sun rises from its position, shining golden rays onto the ground. Lightning yawned as he woke up from his sleep. “ morning blueberry” he murmured as he stretched his back . “ morning, I hunted just before you woke up, there is a rabbit on the stump over there” blueberry replied as her head turned to a stump with a small rabbit. Lightning sunk his teeth into the flesh. He finished the food as he threw the bone carcass into the grass. The pair headed back into the woods. “ so, blueberry…where are we headed?” Lightning asked, trying to fill the silence between them. Blueberry kept looking forward while she responded. “ I saw a camp nearby..I wanted to pick up some stuff” her tone seemed casual enough to fool him. They walked towards an empty field where a clan camp was settled nearby. “ stay here, I’ll make sure the camp is empty and I’ll call you” blueberry said as she trotted off towards it. Lightning sat in the field, looking up at the clear sky that was covered in small thin clouds. He didn’t know what was going to happen…

Ash slowly blinked her eyes open. Blurry images swam around her, and she couldn’t tell what was real and what wasn’t. Blinking, she managed to clear all of the fake visions from her head. She always wondered why she was different from the rest of the kits staying with her family - they all ate, played, and slept, ate, played, and slept, again and again, in an endless cycle.
Ash hated cycles.
Maybe she was weird, maybe she was insane - like Nora said. She didn’t feel insane, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t.
|No, sister says not to listen to them. They’re rude, not true.|
It felt like her sister knew everything. That is, everything except for why mother and father didn’t seem to love her and her siblings. She had two brothers and a sister, surely they all needed care? But no, all the attention always went to their adopted kit, not their real ones. Ash felt a wave of intense jealousy surging through her. It wasn’t fair. Raven got all of her parent’s attention, and she got none.
|Is it bad to have these thoughts?| Ash wanted nothing more than to impress her parents. She couldn’t do that if she had bad thoughts, could she?
|What’s so special about her..?|
Shaking her head, she tried to clear her mind. She knew why Raven was such a god. That didn’t mean that she liked it, but she knew.
She also knew that she looked like her real mother. Her father was a red tabby, but Ash was light gray, like her mother. Of course, her mother was terrible. Faint memories told her that, pretty clearly. Images of her mother yelling, threatening her, to even swiping at her radiated with ' bad mother’ vibes.
Why did everyone hate Ash? She did nothing, but everyone acted like she had set the camp on fire.
|It all boils down to mother. Father hates mother, and me as an extension-|
She couldn’t say that. Her father loved her… didn’t he?

Next chapter in Outcast, ik this fanfic is really weird :/

•Was this forest endless? Did it have all the answers I seek? Are there really vicious wild cats waiting to tear me open?• She gasped and realized she’d been holding her breath, She remembered her housefolk and knew that around this time they would be calling for her only to find that she would not be there. The sun was waning and she knew she had to find shelter, •Maybe I can find myself new housefolk?• Just then a voice spoke from deeper within the hollow which she was resting,”oh for starclan’s sake do all kittypets smell that foul” a odd and rusty sounding voice mewed sarcastically. “And who might you be?” The she - cat mewed trying to sound brave,”oh please, kittypet, I’ll let you stay the night don’t worry” and with that the she-cat saw his back turn and fade into the darkness, •That was…odd but I feel like that could be a friend..• then a thought came to her,•Did he say…starclan?• she knew what starclan was because of wild cats that lived beside her garden but that was a long way away from here. •hm, he must be a traveler, I should be getting rest though• and without a further thought she curled up and rested until morning…

“Hey..” A embarrassed sounding new came from the entrance, she also felt a paw prodding her side,”Get this flea-bag up! Do you think you can handle that, Turtle?”
“Of course I can” a small voice made her jump, she liked the thought of the cat, Turtle, coming to wake her up maybe he could explain.
“Uhm… can you wake up please?” Turtle asked her softly
“Im already up” she slowly stood to her paws, as she looked at turtle she realized that he must be the same age as her, a little less than 12 moons old
“Oh uhm hello, im turtle”
“Well Hello turtle, I am…” she paused
“Is something wrong?”
“No, my name is juniper”
“We’ll if you were awake then you probally heard the other cat..”
“Yes I did who is he?” At that question it seemed as though turtle was deciding whether to tell her or not, Juniper thought his thinking face was cute.
“That was Claw’Bird” he finally mewed
“Claw…bird?”
“Yes, he used to be a clan cat but now he’s not-“ he cut off as claw’bird cane prowling in and stalked right up to juniper with a bunch of cats behind him
“Hold her down” he growled
At once the cats were holding her down, pinning her everywhere, her back, her paws, and her tail. She was scared, and lashed out the other cats started unsheathing thier claws and raking her all over, her muzzle was bloody and she couldn’t see through the blood from her right eye her stomach hurt most of all
“Stop!” She heard turtle wail, almost like he cared about her.
“Don’t hurt her please!” Turtle begged
“Yes, Claw’Bird I agree we shouldn’t be attacking her we should be holding her hostage and training her”
Suddenly Juniper knew what was happening she had stumbled upon the rouges of the forest, and she was never going to escape.
