Grassclan Article: SpiritClan Deputy In Camp!

posted by orkneymatrix

An unfamiliar scent hung in the air as one non-Grassclan cat paced through the long grass. So far, the enemy had been lucky. But her luck was about to change as a figure jumped out on the tress passer and knocked her against a tree.
"Why are you here?" hissed the attacker, who was now revealed to be Starfire, one of the young Grassclan warriors.
"Calm, Starfire." meowed another cat sternly, stepping into view.
"Darkstripe." the intruder gave him a respectful nod.
"Why are you here, Sandstorm?" asked Darkstripe calmly.
"I need to talk to some of your Clan." she said. "Crowstar, Waterlily, and of course Rosepaw."
"Starfire, Bushpaw, Flowerpaw" he named his companions. "This is Sandstorm. Spiritclan's deputy."
Bushpaw and Flowerpaw looked up at the she-cat in awe. Even Starfire was impressed as she looked Sandstorm up and down over and over, admiring her small size, yet high rank in a Clan.
"You...you're a deputy?" asked Flowerpaw with a amazed look on her face. When the ginger cat nodded back, Flowerpaw turned to Darkstripe. "How come she's so small and weak? All out deputies have been big and strong!"
Darkstripe hushed her, noticing the glare on Sandstorm's face. "She may be small but she is not weak!" he whispered in her ear. "She is one of the best fighters in the whole forest!"
In the time Flowerpaw and Darkstripe had been talking, Bushpaw had begun to talk to Sandstorm. "So why were you chosen to be deputy?" he asked innocently.
"Well." she began. "Maybe because of my skills, or loyalty, you can never know for sure why you're chosen."
Bushpaw obviously wasn't satisfied with is answer, but before he could say any more Darkstripe spoke up. "Come on, Sandstorm. We'll take you back to camp."
"Thank you Darkstripe."
He began to lead her towards the camp.

Back at camp, there were several confused glances staring at the newcomers.
"Darkstripe." spoke Crowstar from the shadows of her den. "Why have you brought Sandstorm here?"
"She says she must talk to you." replied Darkstripe.
"And Rosepaw." Sandstorm added. "And Waterlily."
"Very well." Crowstar nodded. "We shall speak in my den. Waterlily! Rosepaw!" she called the medicine cats before disappearing into the darkness of her den.

***

In Crowstar's den the four cats are settling down ready to listen to Sandstorm.
"OK." she began. "Well I had a dream from StarClan. And no one will listen to me."

A Cruel Death For The Sisters

posted by orkneymatrix

A frosty air surrounded the GrassClan camp. Ashfield and Magmafur sat eating their supper. The camp was quiet, most of the cats were at the Gathering. But the sisters had been left behind. Magmafur was dealing with it OK, she didn't really mind. She hated the usual hustle and bustle of the camp. But Ashfield hated being left out, or chosen last. She had had enough. She stood up and headed for the camp entrance.
"Where do you think you're going?" it was the voice of her sister.
"Out." she replied coldly, turning to look at Magmafur. "You coming or staying here all night?"
"I want to stay here but...

Spottedheart's Mate

posted by orkneymatrix

Spottedheart, Nettlewhisker and Ivyclaw were on the hunting patrol, just setting off. Ivyclaw ventures out of sight.
"Where's Ivyclaw gone?" asks a concerned Spottedheart.
"Just finding food. Come on." replied a relaxed Nettlewhisker.
Spottedheart saw something moving in the bushes so headed over, to discover it was a... badger! She looked back but Nettlewhisker wasn't there. The badger backed Spottedheart to the side of the river but she held it off from there.
"Help!" she screeched hoping to attract someone's attention.
Her back paws kept slipping and she knew it was only a few seconds before...

The Biggest Threat To Our Clan, Part Four

The thrill scream had just cut off the argument between Pebblepaw and her Clan. Breezeclaw immediately ran into the nursery. "The kits!" she exclaimed. Then she exited the nursery carrying a limp body. Earthkit - Breezeclaw's youngest kit. "You!" she yelled at Pebblepaw after she set her dead son down. "You let her go! She destroyed the future of the Clan!" Breezeclaw then huddled around her frightened looking other kits, Petalkit and Spiderkit.
The Clan stared at Earthkit. He had been so happy - so playful, and had showed high potential. But it looked like that was all at waste now.
"How do...

The Biggest Threat To Our Clan, Part Three

Pebblepaw silently slipped into Daisy's temporary den. "He-hello." said Pebblepaw nervously. What would Crowstar say if she knew what she was doing? What would Sorrelheart say?
"What do you want?" snapped Daisy. "Did one of those warriors tell you to come here?" he hissed the word "warriors" with pure disgust.
"No...they'd kill me if they knew I was doing this." admitted Pebblepaw. "But I'm setting you free."
"WHAT?" Daisy yelled, suddenly remembering to whisper. "Is this a trap? I'm being guarded."
"No." Pebblepaw looked away, looking guilty. "Not any more. I know the cats. I know how to get...

The Love Triangle

Tigerstripe entered camp closely followed by Bluemist and Snowpaw at the head of the dawn patrol. Poppyrose was sitting with Sorrelheart and Lilydawn and went to join Tigerstripe when she saw him coming.
"Tigerstripe!" she bounded up to him. "How was the dawn patrol?"
"Good, I guess." Tigerstripe said. "How was everything back at camp?"
"Boring." replied Poppyrose pressing her flank to his. "There's never anything exciting going on here."
Tigerstripe gave her a comporting lick on the cheek. "How about we go hunting later? Just the two of us?"
Poppyrose sighed. "I guess so." she said as she returned...

Grassstar's Last Life Down The Drain

Grassstar led Brightflower and newly named warriors Angelwing and Blossomfall on a border patrol. She had left Darkstripe in charge of camp. Brightflower paused to scent the air.
"Badger." she reported. "But its not fresh." she added.
"Thank you Brightflower." Grassstar replied without looking back.
Blossomfall suddenly stopped. "G-g-guys?" she said, her voice quivering. "I think Brightflower's misjudged how fresh the badger was!" Blossomfall jerked her head to a badger just coming out of its set.
"What's it doing out at this time of day?" queried Angelwing. She had always been a smart and quick...

A patrol of four Grassclan cats padded along the boundary with Spiritclan. Darkstripe was at the head of the patrol and suddenly stopped to smell the air. "What's that scent, Darkstripe? I don't recognize it." spoke Flowerpaw.
"I don't recognize it." growled Darkstripe as he followed the trail. Flowerpaw, Brackenfoot and Krestelheart followed.
Then Darkstripe spoke. "Stop. Krestelheart and I shall go further. Brackenfoot, you and Flowerpaw wait here." then him and Krestelheart moved on.
The two cats stopped dead in their trail when they saw another Grassclan body lying dead right in front of them,...

Gingerheart Tells The Truth To Rosepaw

"Why do I have to go to the Moonstone?" asked Rosepaw. She was obviously tired.
"You have to. Grassstar's on her last life so you might be medicine cat when she dies. Then, you must travel there with the new leader, and you have to lead. You have to know the way, Rosepaw." replied Waterlily. They'd just left the camp and were heading to the Moonstone.
Rosepaw sighed. She just wanted to sleep.

It was later in the day when they reached the Moonstone. Waterlily went under to the Moonstone, whilst Rosepaw kept watch from a boulder.

She might have dozed off because before she knew it she was back in...

Grassstar's Biography...A fatherless kit, to a young deputy, to the leader of a brand new clan

posted by orkneymatrix

Grassstar is the founder of Grassclan and the first leader. She was “a tortoiseshell she-cat with a white belly and white paws and green eyes.” She was the daughter of Hillclan members Grasspatch who was killed in battle before she was born, and Fernleaf who died when she was an apprentice. She was born with one sister, named Daisykit. Grasskit was named in honour of her father. When she became an apprentice, she achieved her mother’s best friend Dewfeather for a mentor. Grasspaw, although not very good at hunting, proved an unbelievable fighter and became a warrior named Grassfoot whilst...

The Three Rogues, Part 1

posted by MzScotGirl01

I took out a hunting patrol. There was me, Berrypaw, Rainthistle and Mousepaw. Mousepaw just came out of the bushes with a shrew in her jaws. I watched as she buried it and Rainthistle congratulated her apprentice. I looked around for Berrypaw, who came bounding out of the bush with a plump rabbit clutched in her mouth. I watched as she buried it.
"Well done!" I told my apprentice. "Come on." I said, alerting the others. "We have to catch more before we even think about heading back."
The three cats followed me through the forest to find more prey.

It had been a long time since their first catch...

Darkstripe and Krestelheart just stared at the she-cat. The intruder rose. "Who goes there?" it said, not directing her words to anything in particular.
Krestelheart gulped and the two Grassclan cats stepped out from the long grass into the clearing in the shade of a tree where the cat was waiting.
"Ah..." the she-cat hissed. "Clan cats." she spat. "I could tell you'd be out looking for me soon."
"Who are you?" hissed Darkstripe, flattening his ears.
"Your worst nightmare." replied the ginger cat. "I am Daisy." then she narrowed her eyes. "I used to belong to a Clan. My mother used to be a kittypet,...

Seasnake's Death

posted by orkneymatrix

Four figures loomed through the forest. In the lead was a golden spotted cat, obviously a she-cat. Behind her was a sleek black and grey tom side-by-side with a ginger tabby. Behind was a small kit - pale red. Two more figures stepped out from the bushes: a black she-cat and an orange tom, obviously an apprentice.
"Find anything?" asked the spotted she-cat.
"Only a faint scent of badger, Rainthistle. What about you?" the black cat replied.
"We have some news that may startle you." replied Rainthistle.
Both cats pricked their ears up.
"What is it?" asked the apprentice.
"Quiet, Timberpaw. Let her...
