Leafstrike's Vigil

(I'm not sure how this will turn out....but I hope this works :O)

Leafstrike: My OC (You can check her out on my Google Plus account *Leaf Moon*) She is a light brown tabby cat, with darker brown markings and a white chest. Windclan warrior~(sometime in the future or past, and maybe in between).

LEAFSTRIKE'S VIGIL

As the snow fluttered down from the sky, Leafpaw trotted happily to camp, a fat rabbit in her jaws. It was the last of the plump prey she and her clan would ever get, and she was busy thinking about who to give it to. She wanted to eat it up by her self, but she knew that was against the warrior code, and she also knew there were elders and queens that needed the strength more than she did. Finally, Leafpaw decided to give the rabbit to. The queens! That way, there would be more kits, which meant more apprentices, which also meant..more warriors! Leafpaw padded into the nursery and dropped the rabbit on the ground.

"This is for you, Shinepelt!" Leafpaw said, pawing the rabbit closer to the ginger she-cat.

"Thank you, Leafpaw! I'll make sure to share it with the other queens, okay?" Shinepelt said, looking up from her rambunctious kits. Leafpaw nodded, then turned to walk out of the nursery. Just as she came through the cozy exit of the nursery, she bumped into her mentor, Shadowspots.

"How was the hunt today, Leafpaw?" Shadowspots asked, licking Leafpaw's shoulder affectionatly.

"It was fine...I caught a fat rabbit today!" Leafpaw said proudly.

"That's great, Leafpaw! I'll take you out for some training later today, okay?" Shadowspots said, already turning to head into the medicine cat's den. "I have to find something to treat my sore muscles!"

"Alright!" Leafpaw said, and she padded towards the fresh-kill pile, eager to finally get something of her own to eat. Picking out a scrawny thrush, she sat down next to the other apprentices and started to rip off the wings and feathers. After finishing her meal, she stood and shook her fur, trying to get the snowflakes off her thin pelt, which wasn't thick enough yet to protect her from the cold. As she did so, she noticed Eagleleap and a few other cats from a patrol talk to Silverstar, who was looking grim with the news that the cats were telling him. Leafpaw crept closer, hoping to get a few words from their conversation.

"We have found sight of wolves in our territory, Silverstar! .........we need to find the pack.......and make a camp somewhere more concealed and protected......we'll set out immediatly....." Eagleleap said, and the cats from the patrol ran out of camp and into the great beyond of the moor.

"Attention! Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Tallrock for a Clan meeting!" Silverstar yowled, leaping up onto the Tallrock. All the Clan cats started swarming out of the dens, and out into the clearing to hear Silverstar's message. "There has been a pack of wolves sighted! We may have to move from our camp to a different one, either permanetly or temporarily! We need all cats to be ready to move by tomorrow evening!"

All the cats gasped and started to whisper amongst themselves. "''A wolf in Windclan territory! How dreadful!" "My kits may not be well enough to move yet!" "Wow, a pack of wolves? I wanna show them whose boss!" "Oh yeah, you wanna show them a scrawny little frog?" "Oh my, moving to a different camp? What has this Clan come to?" ''

Leafpaw was bewildered. She had never seen or heard about wolves, and she didn't know their scent, but she did know that they were like hairier dogs...or something. But all of a sudden, a small, nagging whisper intruppted her thoughts. "''I wanna go out tonight and fight them for all I'm worth! And then maybe, Silverstar will finally let me be a warrior, and maybe even deputy!" ''Leafpaw knew that voice! That was arrogant Snakepaw, obviously wanting to do whatever it took to become a warrior. But....as Leafpaw thought about it, she knew that she sort of wanted to fight the wolves herself too, so that she could finally become a warrior! Which...she wanted to do, and also didn't want to do at the same time. Maybe....she would become a warrior by saving Arcticpaw from trying to kill himself/the wolves!

Determined to do just that, Leafpaw went to her moss nest, and slept lightly, awake for any sound of pawsteps. There! At last, she was going to follow Arcticpaw, and stop him before he got in trouble and hurt himself! Lifting herself out of her nest quickly and quietly, she followed Arcticpaw out into the clearing, where he joined with one other cat. Of course the rest of the apprentices thought the idea of driving out/killing the wolves was a mousebrained idea! As she got a better look at the other cat, she saw that it was Rockpaw. Together the two padded out of camp, with Leafpaw behind them. As they were walking in the moonlight, right directly in the middle of Windclan territory, she was suddenly hit by the strongest, foulest smell in the whole world! That's what wolf smells like! Leafpaw thought, as she tried to stop her self from running off while belching. And then she saw them. Five massive, gray and black bodies, all the size of humongous dogs, were asleep in a tight circle. Creeping up on them, she was distracted, and didn't watch as Arcticpaw and Rockpaw unsheathed their claws. But.....something snapped close to one of the canine's ears and it woke up with a start, braying and howling for all it was worth. Immediatly all the wolves woke up and turned on the three cats. Leafpaw shrieked and tried to run off, totally forgetting about her mission to stop the other two apprentices. However....a massive paw cut her off from her escape route and she rolled along the dusty ground. Blood blinded her eyes, and she watched as Articpaw was flung into the distance and Rockpaw become torn to shreds. Trying to get up, she watched as the wolves sniff around, obviously trying to get Rockpaw and Arcticpaw's body so they could get a tast of cat blood.....
