Yellow Trout Lily Sample
(2 Chapters)
Chapter One
It was dawn. Squirrels were poking their heads out of their nests high up
in the trees. Best of all was that Bloodshed, a Tribe that existed since the
ancient Tribes, and had killed the Tribe of Fire, was gone.
Except it didn’t kill them all.
One ordinary squirrel was left. The last descendant of the Tribe of Fire.
It was me.

“Go check on the craters Yellow. You left them there all day.” Silverweed
told me. I went to check on them, and when I arrived, they were happily
sharing a nut.
“Did you help Willow Tail?” Blackberry Lily asked.
“Milkvetch must be praising you soooo much!” Leopard Lily squeaked.
Milkvetch was their brother from an older litter.
“Willow Tail is dead.” I spat out.
Blackberry Lily and Leopard Lily gasped.
“But that would break Milkvetch’s heart!” Leopard Lily protested “How come
you couldn’t save her?”
“There were no cobwebs.” I replied.
They gasped again.
“Let’s go home. Your paws are all wet.” I told the sisters. They walked back
to camp with me.

When we arrived at camp, Blackberry and Leopard ran straight to Milkvetch.
“We’re so sorry, Milkvetch!” They were telling him.
Milkvetch wouldn’t talk.
“You would’ve made a wonderful mate for Willow Tail.” Silverweed came
over and told him.
“But she’s dead.” Milkvetch hissed.
“But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a mate.” Blackberry Lily squeaked.
“No. It’s not that. I don’t want a mate.” Milkvetch replied.
Chapter Two
Dawn broke. My eyes slid open. Yesterday was……a disaster. My sister died,
and Milkvetch doesn’t want a mate.
What is so important about Milkvetch not wanting a mate and kittens? Do I
want to be Milkvetch’s mate?
The answer was simple: No. Willow Tail is in the Constellation Tribe, a tribe
for dead squirrels, and she can still watch her tribe, and she might get angry if
I got Milkvetch.
“YELLOW TROUT LILY! Are you up or what?!” Puncture Vine, the principal
or leader, hissed “You and Blackberry Lily are going to trai with Milkvetch and
Leopard Lily!”
“Yes, Puncture Vine.” I got up and walked towards the tree entrance, then
scurried down the tree “What am I teaching today?”
“You’re teaching the craters how to run from predators.” Puncture Vine
replied “Now go. They're already at the Woods of Waiting Predators waiting for
you.”
I scurried towards the camp entrance and squeezed through the bushes.
The Woods of Waiting Predators was thirty squirrels away.
I finally reached it. It was surrounded by dark green bushes and tall trees,
perfect hiding places for a predator.
“Yellow!” A voice whispered.
Blackberry Lily?
Suddenly, to my surprise, a black figure exploded out of the bushes. I
squeaked in fear.
“Blackberry?” I said in surprise.
“Yes, it’s me.” Blackberry Lily said back.
“Listen, you are NOT supposed to explode out of bushes in these woods!
Predators could be around every corner!” I whispered.
“This is where some of the Tribe of Fire’s land was.” Blackberry said in awe
to the tall trees “I bet they were such good tree climbers.”
“Come on, let’s go find Milkvetch and Leopard.” I told her.
We went into the bushes she exploded from, and she led me to Milkvectch
and Leopard Lily. Blackberry Lily’s fur was all ruffled, so Leopard Lily came
over and licked her sister’s fur.
“Yellow? Are we going to start or what???”asked Milkvetch.
“Yes, I’ll be there in a moment. I have to go talk to the Principal.” I said. I
had to go talk to Puncture Vine and her andromeda, or deputy, Silverweed,
about Blackberry Lily. She has been a crater for long enough.
