Name of Cat Dawnfrost of ShadowClan
Dawnfrost's whiskers twitched when she saw a vole scuffling in the leaves. Dawnfrost drew in it's scent. She leapt and broke it's neck, and the scent of fresh-kill filled her nose. She buried the vole to get later, and saw a crow resting on a tree. There were two. Dawnfrost jumped for the one, killed it, but the other crow saw her. It let out the loudest alarm call Dawnfrost had ever heard. It must have scared all the prey in ShadowClan territory, because she could find any more prey. She brought the crow and vole back to camp and put it on the pile. The prey was getting scare, for it was late green-leaf, almost leaf-fall. Dawnfrost let out a depressed sigh. Then she looked around the clearing for her brother, Slientshadow, but there was no sign of him. Hunting, again. Dawnfrost thought. Both her and her brother loved hunting, and Slientshadow was almost always hunting. She looked for something to do, and felt like trying to hunt again. Dawnfrost was by the river, staring at it. She made sure her shadow didn't touch that water, and when she saw a flash of sliver her paw went for it. But something else did too. An eagle! Dawnfrost thought this would be great prey, and, without thinking, jumped onto the eagle. The eagle fell into the water with her weight, and so did Dawnfrost. The fast current swept her down stream. Her head bobbed up and down, and she gasped for breath. Then there was a flash of white, and a big white tom pulled her out of the water. ' Looking to swim?' He chuckled. Dawnfrost shook her fur, trying to get him wet. He jumped away. ' Coward! ' She meowed playfully. She bounced at him, and he jumped away. They did this until he fell into the river. Dawnfrost's amber eyes got big, but he pulled himself out. 'You okay, Blizzardfur?' Dawnfrost asked. Blizzardfur nodded his head. He shook his fur, but it didn't get Dawnfrost wet. Then, and brown tabby pelt stood into front of them. ' What do you think you're doing Blizzardfur? You were on the sunhigh patrol, and it's hours past sunhigh!' Dawfrost stood in front of Blizzardfur. ' For your information Bramblewhisker, Blizzardfur saved me,' Dawnfrost hissed. Bramblewhisker's tail lashed back and forth. ' ANd how did you get into the river?' Bramblewhisker hissed back. Dawnfrost looked down. ' I...Uh.... Fell into the river trying to catch a eagle.' Dawnfrost meowed, her voice sounding weaker. ' Mmhm ' Bramblewhisker pointed to the river with his tail. ' Go search the river for that eagle, and come back.' Dawnfrost bit back a reply, and just nodded her head. Blizzardfur followeed Bramblewhisker, and he took many glances back at Dawnfrost. Dawnfrost giggled and went to look for the eagle. She padded along the shore. When she saw the eagle's body, she saw the vole in it's beak. She pried it out, and threw the vole into the river. She watched the small body dragged by the current. She dragged the eagle back to camp. It had worn he out a whole lot, and she took a few feathers to line her nest with. She took a vole, and sat by Blizzardfur. It was almost sun down, and her fur glittered, and Blizzardfur's fur did. ' What did Bramblewhisker do to you? ' Dawnfrost whispered, and little giggling too. Blizzzardfur pushed her a bit. ' He made me hunt a long time, ' Blizzardfur meowed, taking a bite out of his mouse.Dawnfrost took a few bites out of her vole, until it was gone. Blizzardfur was done with his quickly too, and they both walked into the warrior's den. Their pelts brushed as they walked in. But Bramblewhisker had moved Blizzardfur's nest, thinking Dawnfrost was making him a cluts. He really liked her..... But she didn't want
[/color] kits. She loved her warrior duties. She just wanted to be friends. Nothing more than really close friends. But she knew Bramblewhisker was jealos. He loved her. But she didn't love him. She sat in her nest and curled up, feeling coldness. She wanted to be by Blizzardfur.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Dawnfrost woke when light flickered over her eye. Her amber eyes opened slowly as she got up and stretched. She saw Blizzardfur was gone. She sighed in dissapointment. She heard a snort and she jumped around. It was Bramblebwhisker.
' Looking for that cluts? ' Bramblewhisker hissed. Dawnfrost's tail lashed back and forth in anger. She ran out of the den, grabbing a mouse on her way. She was gonna eat away from Bramblewhisker. She got to a small root, pulled out of the ground, with a small dig under, so Dawnfrost got herself under it. She ate her mouse, hidden from every cat. And few cats pasted her, and didn't see her at all. She was done with her mouse soon, and she got out, leaving he bones. There was a little meat left on it though. She went back to the small river, and watched the current. She pushed a leaf into the water, watching it be carried away. She sighed, and thought about her and Blizzardfur. If Bramblebwhisker kept it up, they'd never be with each other.
never be with each other. She sighed, and a tear went down her cheek. She heard a crunch, and scented Blizzardfur. She quickly wiped the tear with her paw and turned around.
' Hi, ' Dawnfrost meowed. Blizzardfur looked at her, love in his eyes. She almost backed up. She just wanted to be friends.
' I love you, ' Dawnfrost's eyes were huge. Blizzardfur looked worrid.
' You don't love me, do you? ' ' Yes I do!! ' Dawnfrost meowed.
' But I just want to be friends. ' Blizzardfur looked crestfallen. Dawnfrost felt an ache in her heart. She had just refused true love. But she
had to.
' Would you like to go hunting, friend? ' Dawnfrost giggled, and nodded her head. They padded through the sun light, and showed each other what they could do. Dawnfrost caught one fish, surprisingly, and Blizzardfur fell into the water. Dawnfrost pulled him out, and he shook himself and got Dawnfrost all wet.
' Ah! ' She meowed playfully, batting at Blizzardfur. Then there was a rustle in the bushes. Dawnfrost shrugged.
Bramblewhisker! [/color] Dawnfrost thought bitterly.
' Playing on the hunt, eh? ' Bramblewhisker hissed to Blizzzardfur.
' It wasn't-' ' Silence! ' Brammblewhisker hissed.
' Blizzardfur, come with me. ' Bramblewhisker hissed. Blizzardfur listened to the deputy, and Dawnfrost stared at him till he was gone. She wouldn't leave him to face Bramblewhisker. She folllowed them, but hiddedn in the bushes. They stopped in a smal lclearing.
The training clearing? [/color] Dawnfrost thought. Then she knew it. But she was too late. She scent badger. The badger jumped over to Bramblewhsker and Blizzardfur jumped onto the badger, his claws digging into the badger's black fur. Dawnfrost stared as the battle flashed in front of her eyes. Blizzardfur pushed the badger off Bramblewhisker and jumped onto the badger, pinned him down. But but the badger was strong too. He pushed Blizzardfur in the air, and Blizzardfur screeched in surprise. Then when he landed, he fell on his side. He was gasping for breath. The badger came towards him, snarling. Bramblewhisker jumped onto the badger. Dawnfrost couldn't stand it. She jumped out and landed right onto the badger. He turned around and saw Dawnfrost. She ripped off a clump of his fur, and he meowed in pain. The badger got to Bramblewhisker, and snapped his neck. Blizzardfur pushed the badger over, and gave him the killing bite. He tore out his throat, and they brought Bramblewhsker's body to the river. They washed off his pelt, and they threw the badger in the river. When Brabmlewhisker's brown tabby pelt was clen, they padded back to camp.
Dawnfrost and Blizzardfur brought Braamblewhisker's dead body to the camp.
' What in the name of StarClan happened?! ' Echostar meowed to the two cats.
' Bramblewhisker was killed by a badger, but we killed the badger in revenge. ' Dawnfrost meowed. Echostar sighed, and told them to bring him to the clearing.
' May he rest in peace, ' Echostar meowed, and dipped her head, in a farewell. Echostar's eyes were filled with pain.
' Senior Warriors, come in my den. ' Blizzardfur and Dawnfrost touched muzzles, and Dawnfrost watched Blizzardfur pad into Echostar's den. Dawnfrost padded to the fresh-kill pile, and took the fish she caught, and went to her eating place. But there was something wrong with the smell. Then she remembered the smell.
Fox! The fox had found the meat she had left. She heard a low snarl, and the fox jumped out. Dawnfrost jumped away, and saw the bones of the fox's ribs. She dashed for it's side, and knocked out it's breath. In a struggle to breath, the fox showed it's teeth. She jumped onto it, and scraped off some fur. It scratched her side, and Dawnfrost was furious. She jumped at the fox and killed it, and forgot about her fish. Instead she dragged back her
huge [/color] catch. She felt the stinging of her shoulder, and licked the blood off. When she got back, Blizzardfur dashed to her side. Some other warrior brought the fox away, and Dawnfrost put all her weight on Blizzardfur when he came by. She breathed heavily, and Blizzardfur helped her to the medicine cat's den. Featherfoot was mixing some herbs when she saw Dawnfrost.
' Oh my! ' Featherfoot meowed. She got a few cobwebs and put them over the injury. Dawnfrost groaned at the pain, and she told Blizzardfur , Echostar and Featherfoot what had happened. Blizzzardfur slept with Dawnfrost that night,and Featherfoot made one big nest.
' Sleep Well, ' Featherfoot meowed as she gave Dawnfrost some poppy seeds.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Dawnfrost was woken by a big commotion. It was about sunhigh, and Featherfoot wasn't in the den. But blizzardfur was.
' Bli-Bliz-Blizzardfur ' Dawnfrost meowed. Blizzardfur's head shot up, and he saw Dawnfrost.
' H-H-Hungry... ' She groaned. But before she knew it Blizzardfur had gooten her a vole, and helped her out of the den, but Featherfoot caught him.
' Get her back in there! ' She hissed. Blizzardfur just nodded his head and they went back in.
' You may go now, ' Featherfoot mewed to Blizzardfur. Blizzardfur stared at her for a few heart beats, and then nodded his head to go.
' W-What happened? 'Dawnfrost meowed, finding her voice.
' Tabbystripes, Coldbreeze and Froststripe found a band of foxes, ' Featherfoot meowed, and Dawnfrost saw Tabbystripes padded to the den, may scratches on her body. Coldbreeze was helping his mate into the den.
' What were they thinking?! ' Dawnfrost hissed. Featherfoot sighed, and looked at the sky.
' Only StarClan knows, 'Dawnfrost sighed too, and tried to fall asleep.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••It was about dawn, and Dawnfrost ached to be out of camp. Her shoulder was healing well, and she wouldn't tear it open, so she snuck out of camp. She loved the smell of dawn. With the dew, and the scents of mice, along with vole, bird and sometimes even fish. Though fish smell horrid. But Dawnfrost went to the river anyway. She watched some fish pass, and sometimes even a sliver flash, knowing that it was a fish. Then Dawnfrost remembered Bramblewhisker. He wasn't all bad, but he tried to kill Blizzardfur. She remembered Blizzardfur. Sweet, lovable and the best friend she could have. Bramblewhisker could never be like that.
Never. Though she kinda missed him. Then she remembered he was deputy.
If he was deputy, who is the new deputy?! She thought. Echostar did not chose one! It was way past moon high. Dawnfrost dashed back to camp, hoping no one noticed her absence. She slipped into then medicine cat's den, and Featherfoot was muttering to herself. When Dawnfrost camp in she turned around.
' Where in the name of StarClan have you been?! ' She hissed. Dawnfrost looked down at her paws.
' I wanted to get out of camp.' Featherfoot sighed and pointed to Dawnfrost's nest.
' Get some sleep. ' •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Blizzardfur was pushed on her side, and Dawnfrost's head rose. Her shoulder was fully healed, and she was back in the Warrior's den. But Tabbystripes was still in the den.
' Wah?' Dawnfrost meowed, her eyes heavy with sleep.
' Dawn Patrol, ' And that's all Blizzardfur had to say, because then Dawnfrost was right on up. She groomed her pelt, and Coldbreeze, Goldenear and Echostar were waiting. Dawnfrost was so happy to know she was going on the patrol with her leader.
' Who's deputy? ' Dawnfrost whispered into Blizzardfur's ear.
' Echostar hasn't chosen. ' Dawnfrost was more than surprised. She was kinda....
Scared[/color]. She had a pretty good idea who the deputy was gonna be. Ether Blizzardfur or Tabbystripes.
' What?! ' Dawnfrost spat into his ear. Blizzardfur almost jumped back because of how loud she spat it into his ear. Luckily, no one noticed. Blizzzardfur shook himself, and padded up to Echostar. He whispered something into her ear, and they turned left. The scent of fox was getting stronger, and then there was a huge fox hole in front of them. Then Echostar turned around.
' BLizzardfur, go get some brambles. Dawnfrost, get some brambles with Blizzardfur. Goldenear and Coldbreeze, weave all this together to make a wall so the foxes can't get out. Make sure it is strong. I will help get thorns to put by the wall, ' Echostar meowed, pointing to each cat with her tail as she spoke, and where they should go. Everyone nodded their heads and did their jobs. Dawnfrost went to where there was some brambles and got a mouthful, trying not to pierce her tongue with the thorns. She brought it to Goldenear, where Echostar was tearing off the thorns and placing them right in front of the wall, she it would get stuck i the fox's pads. Blizzardfur and Dawnfrost worked together, and while they were doing this, Goldenear and Coldbreeze went out to hunt. When they came back from hunting, and caught something for each of them, they started to weave. Coldbreeze didn't really get how to weave, so Dawnfrost took his place.
' Thanks ' Coldbreeze meowed, and Dawnfrost just nodded her head. She ate after a while of weaving, and then got right back on task. When the wall was done it was almost sunhigh. Luckily, the foxes didn't notice them. But then, while Dawnfrost was doing the last of weaving, she heard a low snarl.
' Retreat! ' Echostar meowed. Every cat dropped what they were doing and ran behind Echostar. Dawnfrost looked back, and heard a squeal of pain from the fox.
The thorns are working! Dawnfrost thought happily. She ran as fast as she could, and in a blink of an eye, they were back, safely at camp. Goldenear was breathing hard, and Echostar told all of them to have a nice rest. They had done well.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••It was moon high, and there was no deputy meeting. Blizzardfur was next to her, the patter of in and out of his breathing calming her. When she was staying in the medicine cat's den, she became very found of Featherfoot. She tried to get up, carful not to wake Blizzardfur. All the slivery shapes of her clan mates were shining inthe moon light, and Dawnfrost tried not to wake any of them. Though she did wake Goldenear.
' Hey! Dawnfrost, where're going? ' Goldenear whispered.
' Just going to visit Tabbystripes and Featherfoot, ' Dawnfrost prayed Goldenear wouln't stop her, but all Goldenear said was.
' Oh, okay. ' And Dawnfrost was soon in the medicine cat's den. Featherfoot was mxing herbs, no surprise there, and Tabbystripes was up, talking to Featherfoot.
' When can I leave? ' Tabbystripes meowed. Featherfoot's tail twitched, but she didn't turn around.
' When I say you can, ' Featherfoot turned around, and saw Dawnfrost.
' Oh hello there. Would you like something? ' Featherfoot purred kindly. Dawnfrost shook her head.
' No, just coming in to say hi, ' Dawnfrost meowed. But before Featherfoot could reply, Dawnfrost went to grab a vole, and bird, and a mouse. She brought them back ,and placed them down.
' I want the bird! ' Tabbystripes meowed, already going for the bird. Featherfoot took the vole, and Dawnfrost ate the mouse.
' So...Uh...Do you need any help? ' Dawnfrost asked. Featherfoot looked up.
' Yes, actually I do. Could you sort these berries? ' Dawnfrost nodded her head, and toook Featherfoot's place.
' I'll be out looking for catnip. Tabbstripes, you can help Dawnfrost too. ' The she-cat's ear pricked at the sound of her name, and nodded her head. Tabbystripes got up and scrambled to Dawnfrost. Tabbystripes had gotten to know the herbs well. They chatted as they sorted, and Dawnfrost realized she was making a new friendship.
Featherfoot had sent her off so Tabbystripes could sleep, and Dawnfrost asked Featherfoot if she wanted to come with her to hunt. Dawnfrost taught Featherfoot some hunt skills, and Featherfoot caught a crow on her first try.
' Nice catch! ' Dawnfrost purred happily. Featherfoot and Dawnfrost were very close, and Dawnfrost caught a vole. They went back to camp, nad Featherfoot asked Dawnfrost if she could come with her to collect herbs. Dawnfrost agreed and they padded toward the river to find some Watermint. Featherfoot was low on that, and she needed more. When they got to the stalks, Featherfoot pointed them out. But Featherfoot only took a couple.
' Why don't we take all of them? ' Dawnfrost meowed, going to bite off the other ones. Featherfoot dropped hers and ran to Dawfrost, preventing her from biting them.
' No! ' Featherfoot meowed. Dawnfrost jumped back, and Featherfoot laughed a little.
' You only take a few so the others can make seeds. So, you may take two more, but no more than two, ' Featherfoot meowed. Dawnfrost did as she was told, and took two back to camp with Featherfoot. Dawnfrost saw Tabbystripes was awake, and sorting herbs. Dawnfrot went over to help her. Tabbystripes turned around quickly.
' Hi. ' Tabbystripes meowed and got back to work. Dawnfrost sighed, and looked around when Goldenear came in. Her ear was torn and she had a deep scratch on her should. She groaned, and fell over onto a nest. Featherfoot ran over to her.
' Get me Marigold, Cobwebs and Goldenrod!' Fetherfoot hissed, and Tabbystripes passed it to Dawnfrost, and Dawnfrost passed it to Featherfoot. Then, both cats went over to help. Dawnfrost found another scrape on her leaf back leg. She chewed up the Marigold and put the pulp on the wound. Tabby stripes wrapped cobweb around when Dawnfrost was done. Tabbystripes had already wrapped cobwebs around Goldenear's ear. Dawnfrost got up to get them some fresh-kill. She got a few pieces and came back in.
