Chapter 3: Warrior Apprentice

Hi everypony! I'd like to introduce my pony OC, Starry!

Starry: Hi! I'll be helping out with the intros and outros of each chapter!

Me: Thanks again! And also I just want to look at the reviews first just a sec… OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can't even… I don't even know what to say… so many reviews… SYSTEM OVERLOAD! REVIEW OVERLOAD!

Starry: *slap* (as well as ponies can slap) Snap out of it!

Me: *pouts* Party pooper. But still, Thank you so much!

Starry: Starrykite does not own MLP:FiM or Warriors. If she did, then Snowdrop would be canon.

The leaf-fall breeze blew through her fur. She knew she was supposed to be hunting, but she couldn't help it. Only she knew about this place, which meant it was the perfect spot for alone time. She loved her clanmates and all, but having them breathing down her neck all the time could be a bit frustrating. Here she could have this little spot all to herself. It was absolutely purrfect. (sorry bad pun, couldn't help it. XD)

There was a little mini waterfall with a little pool of water with crystal clear water and beautiful lily pads and lotus flowers inside. She took a long sip from the cool water and then thought, Well, while I'm here, I might as well do some hunting. After all, if I return empty-pawed, I'm in deeeeeeeep trouble.

Amberpaw sniffed the air and found a mouse busy munching on some food. She swiftly dropped in the hunter's crouch and crept up on the mouse. Just she was about to pounce, she heard a loud scream. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"The mouse quickly looked up, saw her, and then scurried away as fast as his little paws could carry him.

Furiously, she whipped around to see who had scared her prey. No one's there, she thought. I guess I'd better check it out. she thought, ignoring the small pit of dread forming in her stomach. As she rushed towards the direction of the scream, more yowling and wailing came from that direction. Probably just those snooty Windclan cats got mud on their pelts or something. She thought. Yeah, that's it. With each step she became more and more unsure.

She turned a corner to find an odd group of cats she had never seen at any gathering. So they aren't clan cats... She thought. Suddenly her mentor came up next to her and before Amberpaw could do anything, he hissed, "Rouges!"

A/N: Sorry for the super short chaper. I kinda couldn't think of anything else. I promise the next one will be longer, I just sorta wanted something to post since it's been forever. Anyway, as promised, brownies for everyone who reviewed. :3 [::] [::]

Now, for the replies;

Nightcore reality: I know, I'm slow.

Guest: He's dead. And if my memory serves me right, he died a second time too. So no, he's not coming back. I suppose I should have said it earlier, but this takes place after The Last Hope.

ligerscool: Here's a bite-sized one!

ligerscool: Sorry, I ditzed. I just won't write the povs any more, OK? I just like trying to copy Erin Hunter's style. And also, thanks!

Wolfcat the Magical Flying Cat: OK, OK! Don't tackle me with your magical flying cat powers, alright?

Secret: It's *SPOILER ALERT* Spike. *SPOILER GONE*

Silverleaves: Here you go!

Fire Sword: I just did.

Guest: ...Translation please…?

Guest: I'm sorry to hear that. Review what I did wrong, constructive criticism is always appreciated!

Clearfeather: I'm glad to hear that! ^.^

Alycat: Don't worry, this chapter should tide you over until the next one. :)

Blind-Eyephone: Thanks!

meowpony: Yay!

lovedystopia: I know, this author is super lazy...Wait…

Did you know that so many people reviewed that the authors note is, all together, bigger than the chapter itself? XD

And cookies to everyone who read this story. (::) (::) Bye!
