Tigerstar's pale amber eyes snapped open once again, his tabby fur bristling with receding panic. He let out a groan as he clambered onto his hunches to pick out the moss between his claws that he tore loose from his nest.
This was the fifth night in a row, he intenally fummed. He had not a clue of what it was about, vivid shapes of a group of fleeing, wailing cats. Was it a sign his Clan was going to be driven out again? Last time was due to BloodClan and their now deceased leader, Scourge.
But was that really what the dream foretold? Surely ShadowClan had secured their place amongst the tall pines. They had grown strong in the past seasons, healthy, strong kits were being born and made into excellent apprentices and proud warriors. With hard work on his and the former rogues part, they had raised ShadowClan from the shambles and brink of destruction it had been in.
But now? Shaking his head he squeezed his way out from the roots of the oak tree that was claimed as the leader's den. His pale yellow eyes scanned around camp, it was less mostly quiet, Blackfoot, Tigerstar's deputy had taken out a border patrol. And it seemed that the hunting patrols were also out.
His eyes turned towards were silent squealing came from a thorn bush. A head poked out from underneath the hollow of the bush, and Tigerstar sat down, watching with a sense of calmness as Tallpoppy lead two of her kits out of the nursery. The first, and expected kit Tigerstar saw was Talonkit, a small tabby she-cat with white front paws and chest and large blue eyes. She was adventurous, sneaky and headstrong. Tigerstar couldn't help but compare her to his own daughter, Squirrelflight, in ThunderClan. Her brother, Smokekit, a dark gray tom, wasn't even a paw-step behind.
"Morning, Tigerstar," Tallpoppy called out, and Tigerstar repeated the greeting as the long-legged tabby queen padded past him. Following her kits over towards the thorn tunnel, Tigerstar reckoned that she was taking them to explore the pine forest today.
But before they headed through, Russetfur and her hunting patrol padded out of the thorn tunnel. Making Tallpoppy halt her own kits to let them through first. In the patrol that was led by Russetfur were Oakfur and Tigerstar's own daughter, Tawnypelt. He was proud to see his daughter in such high spirits, although internally he would always know the lingering doubts his daughter had about leaving ThunderClan for ShadowClan.
Each warrior on the patrol was burdened down with fresh-kill, and Tigerstar was thankful for such a plentiful haul this season. He could think of all those constant leaf-bares, going hungry with the constant worry of when the snow and frost will end and bring out sunshine that would awake prey from their dormant slumber.
"Are you alright, father?" Tawnypelt asked as she dropped a sparrow onto the fresh-kill pile. "You look ruffled today, did you sleep on a pile of pine needles?"
Tigerstar let out a sigh at his daughter's remark. "Just a dream, nothing to be concerned with."
Tawnypelt tilted her head to the side, her green eyes flashing. She doesn't believe me, Tigerstar thought with amusement. Irritatingly observant as her mother. He thought on with a prickle of warmth in his gut.
"Well, you should eat something. You'll waste away to nothing if you don't eat something, here," Tawnypelt picked up a vole, a padded up to drop it at her father's paws. "Eat."
"I highly doubt Tigerstar would waste away to nothing any time soon." Russetfur called, the dark ginger she-cat claiming a piece of fresh-kill for herself. And going to settle down near the Clanrock, Oakfur following her with a piece of his own fresh-kill.
"Really," Tigerstar snorted, shaking his head as he lowered to take a bit out of the vole. Tawnypelt sat, her tail curling around her paws as she sat near her father, keeping quiet until he finished and raked pine needles over the bones and scraps of fur.
"What was the dream bout?" Tawnypelt asked in an instant.
Tigerstar drew a paw up to lick it clean, stalling for time to process how to answer her. He wasn't sure what the dream had been exactly, even though he had dreamed it many times already. It was the same each time, vivid running and terrified cats on a long, never ending stretch of moorland. How could he explain it to her if he couldn't explain it to himself.
"I'm not completely sure," Tigerstar said honestly. "It's the same thing each time...I believe it may be an omen from StarClan." Tigerstar didn't have to look to know his daughter's eyes had widened and her tortoiseshell fur had risen in surprise.
"What was it about though?" Tawnypelt repeated, but Tigerstar found himself flickering away her question.
"I can't explain what I have seen," Tigerstar found himself not wanting to upset or scare his daughter with the details that had left himself in a panic, it was best to leave her well out of it. "But I promise to consult Runningnose about it." Tawnypelt looked upset, but she didn't push it. His daughter knew there were going to be gaps in their lives that they could not cross. That there will always be a hole between him and his kits, his leader duties towards his Clan and connection to StarClan, where they couldn't follow him, was proof of that.
"But if I do find an answer," Tigerstar decided to add. "I'll be sure to tell you." it seemed to make Tawnypelt brighten a little, her green eyes lighting up as she stood. "I'll leave you to your thoughts then." she meowed a goodbye, before heading to the large bramble bush that served as the warriors den.
Tigerstar's attention once again diverted from his retreating daughter towards the thorn tunnel. The sound of rustling made him turn, and his eyes narrowed and a low growl came from his mouth as an unknown cat stepped into the clearing, it was a pale gray tom with white patches. Tigerstar looked right into its pale blue eyes, about to demand or possibly challenge this cat that dares infiltrate ShadowClan's home and sanctuary.
But like a ripple of water, the cat was gone and instead padding through the thorn tunnel was Cedarheart, looking completely oblivious to where the mysterious intruder had been.
StarClan...I'm losing my mind, Tigerstar thought to himself. Or are you trying to tell me something important. His pale yellow eyes narrowed suddenly, as a sense of determination overcame him. I'm not sure whats going on, but mark my words. I'm going to find out!
