Hi! I've had this fanfiction idea for a long while, and I am so happy to bring it to you! I plan to continue this. Hope you enjoy!
Fireheart woke up, and immediately, pain seared through his leg like a flood of water. Through the pain, he remembered. Running with Cinderpaw to see what Tigerclaw needed. The ears poking out of a bush on the other side of the Thunderpath, with Tigerclaw's scent flowing in the thick air. And running out to investigate... the monster had come out of nowhere. Hoping to outrun it, he had taken a large leap, his back leg stretching out behind him... and he was hit. Cinderpaw's panicked scream was the last thing he heard. Yellowfang padded up to him. "How are you," she meowed gruffly. Fireheart tried to shift to look at his leg, and almost yowled with the pain. Yellowfang stared at him with pity in her yellow eyes. "I see." she sighed, and helped him into a better position. He gasped at his leg. Only a stump of what it used to be, with leafy wrappings soaked in blood. Tears welled in his eyes as he glanced at Yellowfang. "I-I can't..." he caught his breath, before whispering, "I can't be a warrior, can I..." His voice trailed off. Yellowfang looked away. "Eat these," she murmured, pushing poppy seeds towards Firehearts muzzle. Numb with shock and despair, he lapped them up. Yellowfang's matted tail stroked his flank as he fell asleep.
