Lose You

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather for a clan meeting!" Kestrelstar yowled. I yawned and shook my dark tabby pelt. I had just been named a warrior, now Summitstorm, almost two sunrises ago. I opened my eyes and found myself staring into two golden eyes. These eyes could only belong to my mate, Hiddensun. She too had just became a warrior. She ran her tail down my side and playfully twitched her whiskers. "Finally you wake up! I was worried that you've become a bear and started hibernating" Hiddensun playfully teased. "Well I do like waking up to a lovely sight" I retorted. I could hear faintly audible purrs rise in Hiddensun's throat as she nugged me to my paws. "Come on, we're going to be late!" Hiddensun mewed impatiently. I just playfully snorted before trotting out of the den. No wonder Hiddensun was in such a rush, we were the only ones unaccounted for. Kestrelstar narrowed his eyes menacingly at us. Now he seemed more like a hawk than our beloved leader. "We-" Kestrelstar silenced me when he raked his claws on the stony floor of the ledge that he was perched on. He shot me one last glare before directing his attention back to the clan. "Riverclan! I had a dream last night! In the dream, the cats of Starclan sent me an omen!" Mews of both anxiety and excitement rippled through the clan. "In the dream they said, 'From inside the border your clan will rot, gnarled to the core. The sun will set on river's flow as a claw will soon be revealed'" Kestrelstar's eyes widened with every word. They were lit ablaze with hatred and newfound understanding. He was breathing heavily now, as if his heart was about to give way. "Blazingdawn-has-interpreted-this-omen" Kestrelstar choked out every word painfully. A russet colored she-cat stepped forward. "The message means that the other clans will invade our territory and take over Riverclan!" Blazingdawn yowled with no hint of hesitation in her voice. The Riverclan cats gasped in horror. A young warrior named Lightstep wore a look of disbelief on her face. "Yeah right, Blazingdawn couldn't interpret anything for a couple of mouse tails" she whispered to the gray tom beside her. Kestrelstar stomped his foot with fury. "You dare defy our medicine cat you insolent little mouse brain!" he snapped. aahiddensun pressed herself against me. "Kestrelstar is scaring me" she whispered. I flicked my ear in reply. "We have decided to attack Thunderclan to make sure they don't get any funny ideas" I heard the queens meow in protest. Kestrelstar curled his lip back in a snarl, showing his sharp yellow teeth. "There will be three patrols. Patrol number one will attack the camp, patrol number two will stay farther out in Thunderclan territory to assist patrol one if the get chased out of the camp, and patrol three will attack the camp from behind. Patrol one will be led by Flamepelt, Patrol two will be led by Halfmoon, and patrol three will be led by Grayflower" Kestrelstar flicked his tail to signal the end of the meeting before retreating to his den.
