Warning: Do Not Read If You Haven't Read Up To The Warriors Book Long Shadows! Spoilers Ahead!
Hey guys, It's me, Foxstar of ThunderClan! Yes, Foxstar is my clan name, although I love FireStar. But I didn't want to be a tom : ) I'm a she-cat! I am a HUGE Warriors fan, and I felt compelled to make a fanfic about LionBlaze & HeatherPaw, and how LionBlaze kills her. This is NOT real; just what I think would happen if LionBlaze had given into the dark desires TigerStar had awoken in him about HeatherPaw. Anyway R&R and don't forget, there may be spoilers! Here's Alt 2!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lionblaze awoke at dawn. "Come on, mousebrain, you're on the Dawn Patrol." Whispered Ashfur. He stretched and yawned, then followed his former mentor out into the clearing.
The dawn patrol went uneventful. Hollyleaf, Ashfur, Brambleclaw, & him caught 2 rabbits, 1 mouse, 2 Plump Voles, and 2 fat juicy blackbirds, and marked & patrolled all the borders.
He was sitting in his den looking up at SilverPelt and his thoughts drifted to how Heatherpaw had betrayed him and his love. He dug his claws into the ground. His fur bristled and his tail fluffed out. He took at glance over at his sister, HollyLeaf, and calmed down. He slowly drifted off to sleep, and it seemed like a moment later that a paw jabbed his side.
He opened his eyes and saw Tigerstar. He snarled and hissed "I told you, Tigerstar, I'M DONE WITH YOU! You don't have to mentor me anymore. I am a Warrior and I follow the Warrior code! I am better than you!" With that LionBlaze was on Tigerstar's back, sinking his sharp teeth deep into the dead warrior's neck. Tigerstar flipped him over, scored his claws down Lionblaze's flank, and held him down with two paws on his chest.
"You are NOT better than me! You can't get up the pride to take revenge on Heethypaw ---"
"Heatherpaw!"
"Whatever. Anyway, you can't even take revenge! What type of warrior is that!?!"
Images of Heatherpaw with a large cut from her chest to her back legs, and a slit on her throat, gurgling blood, popped into his mind. She looked up at him with pleading eyes "Help me…" she gurgled and coughed on her own blood.
"No, no! That's not what I want! She deserves to be punished, but not like that!" He shook his head fiercely and pushed the larger Warrior off him.
"Oh? It's not? Can you say that in the view of StarClan? Or just here? You know she deserves that. That is her fate. Bring her fate to her, Lionstar."
With that, Tigerstar faded away, and Lionblaze woke up, gasping and panting, his sides stinging where Tigerstar's claws had been. It was before dawn, and he padded out of the Warriors Den into the clearing. He sat beside the dirt-place tunnel and made sure no cat was there.
When he was sure he was alone, he rolled around in the dirt-place to disguise his scent and headed towards the lake. He sat there for what felt like a moon, staring at the rising sun, thinking. When he was done, he didn't hesitate to turn towards the WindClan border.
'Tigerstar was right. She deserves that fate. I should bring her fate to her.' He crossed the border crawled towards the WindClan camp. Staying low, his belly fur brushed the ground. For a moment his heart stopped, as he spotted the silhouette of a cat on the hill before him.
He took in a deep breath and his heart slowed as he realized it was Heatherpaw. He snorted in contempt and whispered into the breeze. "Heatherpaw! Heatherpaw!" The silhouette on the hill looked his way and hissed "Lionpaw?!? What are you doing?" He padded up to her. "Lionblaze. You are still a mere apprentice." He twitched his tail as she stared up at him, horror in her eyes.
He bared his teeth. "You betrayed my love---" she gasped "---and my trust. You caused many of my clanmates and kin unnecessary pain and bloodshed. Now I will bring your fate to you, just as Tigerstar said I would." Her eyes widened in fear and in shock. "T-Tigerstar? But he's dead!" He let out a rough mrrow of laughter.
"Not in my dreams he's not. He is still alive in DarkClan, and he summons me to him." He leaped on top of her. Just then, Crowfeather spotted them, and ran back towards camp, yowling that Lionblaze was trying to kill Heatherpaw, knowing that Lionblaze could easily overpower just Crowfeather alone. The yowling, so close to the border was heard by FireStar & JayPaw, back at camp discussing the lack of herbs on their territory.
Firestar quickly gathered a patrol of: himself at the lead, with Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, Brambleclaw & Squirrelflight, to head towards the WindClan border. When they got there, Lionblaze was standing over Heatherpaw, the look in her eyes giving away how terrified she was, but her gestures made her look ready to fight.
"What are you doing, Lionblaze?!?" yowled Hollyleaf. "Stop!" wailed Squirrelflight. Firestar, Jayfeather, and Brambleclaw remained quiet. Lionblaze snapped towards them, the dark look in his eyes melting away when he saw them. 'This is wrong…' he thought. "You are one of the three. You know it, and so do your littermates. You and your littermates are the three in the prophecy. There will be three. Kin of your kin, that will have the power of the stars in their paws. You 3 have known for a long time, so be careful what you do…" whispered Firestar. "Pick & choose who you listen to carefully, Lionblaze." Brambleclaw hinted. Still Jayfeather was silent.
"She started the whole battle between the 4 clans! She told every cat of the tunnels in her clan, which led them to attack us! She promised me she wouldn't tell. It was our secret! But when I decided to become a true warrior, I told her we couldn't meet anymore! SHE BETRAYED MY LOVE AND MY TRUST! I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS, HEATHERPAW!"
Only now did Jayfeather speak. "You know it is wrong, Lionblaze. I can hear your thoughts… and your doubts. She doesn't deserve this… no matter what Tigerstar says. Do not trust him. Remember what he did when he was alive. Do not let your paws fall into the crevasses in the pathway to StarClan or DarkClan that his made long ago, for they lead to DarkClan. Both you and I know that, Lionblaze. Choose wisely…"
Hollyleaf shook her head slightly as he took a step towards Heatherpaw, and he slowly backed towards ThunderClan territory. "I'm Sorry…" he whispered into the breeze as he ran through the forest to a place unknown. Heatherpaw escaped unharmed and the patrol returned to camp, still shaken. Later that night, Lionblaze returned, as forgiven for almost making the wrong choice, and was praised for making the right choice.
Eventually the prophecy was fulfilled, and everyone lived happily ever after…
