Fernsong let out another screech, splitting the stick in her mouth in two. A tiny bundle tumbled out, and Blueear picked it up with her teeth and gently gave it to her apprentice. "Lick," She ordered Skunkpaw, who quickly ran his tongue against the bundle's fur.
A strange bump on the sides of the kit made the apprentice pause, running a paw gently over them. They lifted a bit, and it took all of his self-control to not cry out. Giving the kit a few more licks to smooth out these flaps as much as possible, Skunkpaw placed the little bundle next to its mother to let it drink.
A sudden rumble outside made the medicine cat apprentice spin around, stepping out of the nursery. Lightning crashed, sending out loud rumbles of thunder. Clouds rolled in, casting shadows on the WindClan camp. Rain fell so hard that a river seemed to start flowing through the camp, although not a single cat looked wet. Wind howled, tugging at Skunkpaw's fur.
As quickly as it had come, the storm disappeared. A voice seemed to whisper, "Beware the Storm created by a merging of Clans. Loyalty will be tested, and must be trusted. Do not let the bird leave its flock!" He was dimly aware of Blueear calling his name, but his mind was racing to fast to truly recognize anything.
"Skunkpaw!" Blueear batted the apprentice with her paw, knocking him out of his daze. He gave her a questioning look. "I told you to get some borage leaves three times now. Fernsong is going to need it since she can hardly produce milk." Skunkpaw nodded quickly, racing away to the medicine den.
It took him a few tries before he finally remembered what borage leaves looked like. Grabbing a large mouthful, he raced back to the nursery and deposited the leaves at Fernsong's feet. The queen licked them up gratefully, but her fond gaze was fixed on her two kits.
As the two kits suckled milk from their mother, Skunkpaw turned to his mentor. "Blueear, I need to-" Blueear silenced the young cat by raising her tail. She flicked her ears behind her, beckoning Skunkpaw out of the den.
She stopped a couple paces away, in the middle of the bustling camp. "Yes?" Skunkpaw hesitated, giving the surrounding cats a glance. "For StarClan's sake, spit it out," Blueear growled. "I don't have all day."
"Well, I think I was given a prophecy," Skunkpaw started. His mentor's ears flicked in acknowledgement, and she gave him an expectant look. He stared at the ground, trying to put what he had seen into words. When he looked back up, Blueear was gone.
Skunkpaw sighed. Kestrelstar was nowhere to be seen, so he had no one to warn. "I suppose I need to figure this out myself," He murmured, heading back to the medicine den to sort herbs and ponder the meaning of the prophecy.
Meh, not the greatest prologue. The next chapters will hopefully be better, and definitely longer. Please review! Constructive criticism is always welcome. I don't really need OCs, but if you have the urge to submit one I'll take kits. Until next time ^_^
