The Memoir of Diamond

Diamondstar is my character and nobody else's. This story is non-canon. I DO NOT OWN WARRIORS. - Diamondshine woke up to a bright dawn in the warrior's den. The cat sleeping near her; Featherfur, was snoring loudly, still in a deep sleep. Diamondshine muttered something to herself and padded out of the den, finally being able to get away from the horrid snoring. Drizzlestar, their leader, was also asleep. "I've woken up early." she mewed to herself. The fresh-kill pile was empty. ''Might aswell do some hunting, she thought, her deep green gaze staring at the rising sun. It was a beautiful morning, but their deputy was sick with a disease, carrionplace disease. She padded off to go hunting.

 The blue-gray she cat padded through the lush, green newleaf grass. She drew in the scent, to smell her surroundings, and went on. She finally found a shrew after about 15 minutes done of walking. She crouched low, only her black tail tip stood up just a little. She wriggled her flank and pounced on the shrew. It got caught between her paws. She buried it, to come back for it later, and went on, still trying to catch some more prey for her Clan, PantherClan. Then she realized that she was right on the border of FoxClan's land. She snorted and trotted back inside her own territory, went back to her shrew, dug it up, and went to camp.

 Most of the Clan was awake now. Ever since daylight Gatherings started, it was once a moon at the first day of it. She overheard Drizzlestar call whoever was going. "Diamondshine, Cherryfur, Frostsong, Flurrystorm, Iceclaw, and Thornscar will be heading to the daylight Gathering. Let's go!" Drizzlestar rounded up the group of cats to go. We cleared the river in a single jump and walked across the plains, and finally swam to the island. Not only did daylight Gatherings give you non-hostile battles, but they also shared news with one another. Drizzlestar climbed up the ledge where the leaders of the four Clans were sitting. Larchstar, the FoxClan leader came next, then CougarClan came next, along with their leader, Redstar. Last came CheetahClan with their leader, Snowstar, struggling to get up the ledge. Shadowtail, Snowstar's deputy, helped her up the ledge.



Diamondshine's best friend, Frostsong, sat next to her. A FoxClan brown tabby tom was sitting probably 10 tail-lengths away. Diamondshine looked at him for a few heartbeats when she felt a jerk from the silver she cat sitting next to her. "Ooh! Do you like him?" Frostsong giggled, mischief dancing in her amber gaze. "No!" she spat, although she was lying. He is pretty attractive, she thought, eyeing the brown tabby again. Diamondshine snorted. "Come on. Go talk to him!" teased Frostsong, and with that, she nudged Diamondshine up to her paws. The blue-gray she cat padded over to the tabby tom. His blue gaze made her heart swell up, and once he looked at her, a cheesy smile went across her face. "Hi," she mewed. "What's your name?" she asked in a sheepish voice. "Darkpelt; what's yours?" Darkpelt asked the same thing to her. "Diamondshine." she replied, and sat down next to him.

 "And that's how I caught that rabbit! It was ginormous!" she finished her story. Darkpelt purred. "That's interesting." Her heart swelled up again. She also purred, and to her shock, he licked her secretly on the ear. I can't love him..no.. Her green gaze met with his icy blue eyes. She smiled, but then said goodbye to him as Drizzlestar called. "Meet me near the border-tree!" he whispered. "I'll see you there." she whispered back, and with that, went to go follow Frostsong. "How did it go?" snickered the silver tabby, but she didn't wait for an answer. "Does he likkee you?" she mewed mischeviously. "Maybe." she blushed. "Come on. It's totally obvious!" grunted Frostsong "Fine. But if you tell anyone, even a helpless kit, it's over for you." she growled. "I won't tell a soul." Frostsong replied.

 "Ooh, so he does like you!" Frostsong purred quietly. "Yeh, I guess." muttered Diamondshine. "But don't get too worked up about it. StarClan forbid that you two might become mates." sighed Frostsong. "I'm going after Thornscar, anyway," she mewed, dreamily. "He's not bad. Maybe your dream will come soon." she mewed as they arrived in camp. It was already midday. Thornscar padded over to Frostsong, and he whispered something in her ear. Frostsong's amber eyes grew a little wider; she could hardly make out the words. He had whispered; "Wanna go hunting?" to her friend. Frostsong nodded yes, and they headed off. Diamondshine exited the camp in search for Darkpelt. 

Diamondshine hurried to the border-tree where'd she be meeting Darkpelt. He was already there, and he dipped his head with greeting. "Diamondshine, I love you more than anything in the world!" he blurted out suddenly. Diamondshine flinched at the outburst. "I love you, too." He twined his tail with hers, and they sat together by the tree, watching the sun go down slowly as the sky changed colors. After a few minutes, she told him, "I have to go back to camp. Bye, Darkpelt. I'll meet you here again tomorrow." she called, and they both headed off in the opposite direction. Diamondshine looked up at the now-starry sky and grinned. She ran back to camp, her light feathery tail streaming behind her.  Just as she arrived, so did Thornscar and Frostsong, their tails twined and purring. ''Your wish is granted,'' she thought, feeling happy for her friend. Frostsong whispered something in his ear, and scampered off to Diamondshine. "We're mates now!" she chirped with happiness. "That's wonderful!" she purred and rested her tail on her friends shoulder. The dusky brown (Thornscar) tom wasn't bad-looking, so she could see why her friend would want him as a mate. She trotted over to the fresh kill pile and grabbed a vole; she settled down and began to eat it, despite how hungry she was. She gulped it down impetuously, and went over to the warriors' den.

 Thornscar was whispering something in Frostsong's ear. "Okay, okay!" Frostsong replied, and stalked torward the nursery. Diamondshine saw that she was expecting kits. She rushed over to her friend and mewed, "Congratulations, Frrostsong. You'll make a good mother." she purred. "Tha--" She was cut off, and the two friends turned to face the devastated looking Drizzlestar. "Moonlight is dead!" she yowled, and Diamondshine knew she was reffering to the PantherClan deputy. "Looks like the carrionplace disease has overtaken her." she heard Spottedfoot mutter. Diamondshine sighed as they brought out the lifeless pale white she-cat. She shivered as the body passed her. "Are you coming to sit vigil for Moonlight?" asked Cherryfur. "I'll join you guys later. I'll go hunt while you're mourning." Diamondstar mewed, trying not to reveal her secret about she and Darkpelt. Cherryfur shrugged, and growled, "Suit yourself." 

Diamondshine ran to the border tree, where once again, she would be meeting Darkpelt. Once she arrived, he purred and rubbed his cheek against hers. The tabby tom once again dipped his head
