Flashpaw's Love

Prolouge
The wind blew ferociously as a red she-cat dashed through the woods.

'Run, little mouse,' a voice said inside her head. 'Run! They'll catch you if you don't.'. The she-cat grumbled and shook her head.

'Oh?' The voice continued. 'Is little mouse tired? Aww, poor little kitty. You're all alone! No one to help you when they catch you!! Muahahaha!' The voice mocked.

"Correction," the she-cat replied. "You're here."

'Mouse dung!' The voice cried sarcastically. 'She found the loophole! Whatever shall I do?'

The cat glanced back, ignoring the voice. "They're gaining on me!"

The voice gasped. 'Oh no!! Little mouse is afraid of a few warriors! We'll surely die! Well, you will. I'm dead already!'

"Has anyone ever told you how annoying you are?" The cat asked.

'No, but I'm quite flattered! Thank you!'

The she-cat turned her ears facing behind her. Her attackers were only two foxlengths behind her.

'Oh, run little mouse, run!!' The voice cheerfully exclaimed.

The cat ran as fast as she could, but within moments she was pushed to the ground.

'Oops, too late!' The voice exclaimed.

"Its time to take back what is rightfully ours!" Then she-cat's attacker growled. "Open your eyes, coward!!"

The she-cat realized that her eyes were closed, and she slowly opened them. Above her stood a handsom brown tom.

As she gasped in disbelief, the tom raked his claws across the she-cat's throat...

Chapter One
"Aye, well done, Flashpaw!" Chief said in his Scottish voice, carefully getting up. "But keep working on that stance. You're gettin' there!"

"Thanks, Chief!" Flashpaw replied, jumping up and down.

"Now, go on and go back to camp! You deserve some fresh kill!"

"Thanks, Chief," Flashpaw purred as she dashed to the ShadowClan camp.

Chief is a former loner, but now he's a ShadowClan warrior and Flashpaw's mentor. He got accepted into the Clan because he saved Darkstar's life from a small pack of dogs. He refused to change is name, though, and Darkstar didn't argue.

"Hey, Flashpaw!" Shadepelt greeted as Flashpaw padded into the camp.

"Hi, Shadepelt!" Flashpaw replied.

"Badgerpaw's looking for you. He's over by the Apprentice den."

"Okay, thanks!". Flashpaw waved her tail and walked to the Apprentice den.

"So how'd you do, Flashpaw?" Badgerpaw hissed as Flashpaw approached him.

"Chief said I did great!" Flashpaw told her brother. "He also told me to get some fresh-kill. Hungry?"

"Starving!" Badgerpaw cried. The two apprentices raced to the fresh-kill pile.

"I'll get a rabbit for Shadepelt and Darkstar," Flashpaw said. "You get somethin' for us."
