Paradise

A songfic about Cinderpelt. The song is Paradise by Coldplay. ;3 (I OWN NOTHING. ALL GOES TO ERINS AND COLDPLAY! Oh, and since I haven't read this book in forever, don't complain if I get the facts wrong.)

When she was just a girl..

 Cinderpaw bounced around, her tail erect. She was finaly an apprentice! And Fireheart was her mentor! This would be a great apprenticeship! Cinderpaw excitedly waited for Fireheart to take her on patrol with Bluestar and Tigerclaw.

 She expected the world

Cinderpaw trotted through the forest, Fireheart at her side. The two chatted about the ongoings in the Clan, and how much fun they would have, apprentice and mentor. The cats eventually reached the Thunderpath, and Tigerstar sniffed.

But it flew away from her reach

"I smell Shadowclan."

Bluestar tasted the air, confused."

"I can't smell anything."

"Its on the thunderpath."

Bluestar began to walk towards the thunderpath, still tasting the air.

"I still can't smell it."

Thats when Cinderpaw spoke up.

"Allow me, Bluestar! I'll look!"

Cinderpaw jumped onto the thunderpath, and began to sniff. Just then, a monster came streaking towards her. Fireheart yowled.

"Cinderpaw! Look out!"

So she ran away in her sleep

Cinderpaw lay in the medicine den; her leg had been hit by the monster. Her leg was now bloddy and wrapped in cobwebs. Cinderpaw wearily looked up, and stared at Yellowfang.

"Y-Yellowfang..? What happened?"

"You were hit by a monster. Your leg is in bad shape, but you'll pull through."

Cinderpaw slowly nodded.

"Will I ever be a warrior..?"

"I don't know. Just try to rest."

Cinderpaw quietly rested her head on her paws, and fell asleep.

And dreamed of para-para, paradise..

 Cinderpaw dreamed of the life of a warrior. Stalking prey in the undergrowth..

Para-para, paradise..

 ..She dreamed of fighting in battle, and standing triumphantly over a defeated warrior..

Para-para, paradise..

 ..And she dreamed of being leader of Thunderclan, surveying her home from the Highrock.

..Every time she closed her eyes.

 Cinderpaw awoke, and Fireheart was sitting near her, his face grim.

"Cinderpaw..."

"Yeah?"

"Its about your leg. You won't be able to be a warrior."

The words hit Cinderpaw like a slash in the stomach. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"I-I won't? Why??"

"Your leg. It will never work properly. You'll always have a limp. I'm so sorry. I should of protected you."

Cinderpaw felt tears stream down her face.

"If I can't be a warrior, then what will I be?"

"You can be Yellowfang's apprentice. Do you want to?"

Cinderpaw nodded slowly, and fell asleep, tears still trickling down her face.

End! (Yes, I know its short)
