Step by step she moved forward. Her light brown fur brushed against the bushes and her white paws crunched on some fallen leaves. Leaves? Why are there leaves on the ground during new-leaf? Everything was still and the moon shone brightly above her. She realized she was dreaming and knew then she had to go on. She heard a noise behind her and saw a small gray blur move behind some bramble.
"Come out!" She commanded. The figure came out and she saw that it was Jaypaw.
"What are you doing in the dream?" She hissed.
"How should I know? It's not like I wanted to get in here." He retorted.
"Well then you should leave." Leafpool told him
"Don't you think I've tried?" Jaypaw replied.
"Well if you cant you'd better stick around with me. There's probably a reason for it."
They came to a pool that shone silver under the moon. She sat down and gazed around. Then she heard a rustle in the leaves. A dark gray she-cat with a broad, flat face came out and sat in front of her on the other side of the pool.
"It's good to see you again Leafpool." The she-cat said. "And you too Jaypaw." Jaypaw just turned and ignored her. He wasn't too fond of her, she was always hissing at him for something when ever he saw her I his dreams.
"It's good to see you too Yellowfang." Leafpool replied, ignoring Jaypaw's lack of respect. "How are you?"
"I am well." Yellowfang nodded. Yellowfang had been the mentor of Leafpool's mentor, Cinderpelt. The Leafpool heard more rustling and another cat came out of the bushes next to Yellowfang. It was a beautiful dark tortoiseshell she-cat with a dappled coat.
"Spottedleaf!" Leafpool purred. She hadn't seen Spottedleaf in a long time. She was the current medicine cat when her father, Firestar, had just come to the clan. She died when rouges attacked ThunderClan. Spottedleaf dipped her head to Leafpool. "It's good to see you too"
"So why have you brought us here?" Leafpool asked hinting at the presence of Jaypaw.
"All will become clear shortly." Spottedleaf said. "But we have to wait for the others."
"Others?" Jaypaw and Leafpool echoed in unison.
Just then the bushes to their left started to move and a small tabby tom came out. Leafpool recognized him before Jaypaw even looked to see who it was. It was Littlecloud, the ShadowClan medicine cat. Cinderpelt had been very good friends with him, more than usual medicine cats. Leafpool was about to mew a greeting when another sound came from her right. She looked to see a short-tailed brown tom come out. It was Barkface, the WindClan medicine cat. Shortly after his apprentice Kestrelpaw cautiously followed.
"Spottedleaf, what's going on? It's like it's a meeting at the moonpool at half moon, but that's many days away." Leafpool questioned.
"This is very urgent," Spottedleaf began, "too urgent to wait."
"Then what is it?" Littlecloud asked. Leafpool noticed he was shifting his paws uneasily. She was just as unsettled by this herself. What is so urgent that they have to call all the medicine cats together in one dream to tell them before the half moon? What about Mothwing? She would never get the message. Leafpool was the only cat that knew that shortly before Mothwing's brother, Hawkfrost, died; he got her to believe there was no StarClan. Now she no longer shared dreams with them making it hard her to teach her apprentice Willowpaw the ways of the medicine cat. If this message is so urgent then RiverClan would never find out about it!
"Not all the cats are here yet. We have time." Yellowfang said coolly.
Shortly after another cat appeared behind the two WindClan cats. Leafpool realized it was Willowpaw. Leafpool sighed realizing that even apprentices would be here to know what StarClan had to say.RiverClan would know bout this after all! Leafpool thought. Then most cats started to appear around the group. She realized they were StarClan warriors. They gathered closely and stared down at them.
"Alright, we're ready." Spottedleaf said.
"Wait what about Mothwing?" Willowpaw exclaimed.
"She isn't asleep right now." Came a voice. All the cats looked around. Mudfur, the medicine cat before Mothwing immerged from the group. "Willowpaw, you'll have to tell Mothwing about this when you wake up." Willowpaw nodded.
I hope that's true. Leafpool thought to herself.
"Now," came a voice. Everyone looked. Four cats came and faced the cats. All cats' eyes were wide when they saw them. The four cats that stood in front of them where previous leaders from each clan. Bluestar from ThunderClan; Nightstar from ShadowClan; Tallstar from WindClan; and Crookedstar from RiverClan. They opened their mouths to speak and as if their words came from one cat their message echoed around the pool of cats.
Jaypaw jumped and breathed heavy. He heard Leafpool stir and he looked in her direction.
"Did that really happen?" Leafpool asked. All Jaypaw could do was nod. He was too shaken from the prophecy they for told.
That who walks on two will walk on four and a curse will become salvation.
