Zigzag, a mischievous kittypet, is always roaming the streets with his friends and causing trouble. But, when a new cat turns up, his life takes an unexpected turn….
Hia! So, this is my first ever fanfic, so if you have any tips I would be happy to read them!
Prologue:
Tawnystar padded in wearily, leading the cats who made up the dusk patrol behind her. As the cats dispersed, she turned round to see Hollyfur and Nightbreeze hurrying toward her, both looking troubled. Tawnystar frowned and motioned to them to follow her into her den.
Tawnystar pushed through the lichen that acted as a curtain over her den entrance, and settled down on the sandy floor. Nightbreeze and Hollyfur padded in after her. Once all the cats were seated, Tawnystar mewed: "I can see something's worrying you, so what is it?"
"I've had a prophecy." Hollyfur blurted out. Tawnystar stiffened and glanced at Nightbreeze, who just shrugged. It was clear he didn't know anything about it. Tawnystar turned back to Hollyfur. The young medicine cat had never received a prophecy before, but the mixture of fear and excitement in her eyes told Tawnystar she wasn't lying. Tawnystar nodded at her to continue.
Hollyfur's eyes glazed over and turned milky. She straightened up and her fur stood on end as she recited the prophecy in a strange, singsong voice. "A cat who strikes as quick as lightning will come, and lead Windclan down an unsafe path. But only when the jagged one faces death, will peace be restored at last." Hollyfur finished and fell out of her trance, blinking.
Tawnystar frowned. The prophecy sounded very ominous. "What does it mean?" she asked.
Hollyfur shuffled her paws before staring into Tawnystars eyes. "I don't know….But I think one of our clanmates will die."
