Dreamed
Silverkit was trying to catch some land prey tonight. Silverkit imagined the taste of a squirrel. Yum, delicious food. She had never tasted land prey before, because all cats of WaterClan were forbidden to go to the surface. The elders had warned their leader, Oceanstar, that there were four other Clans that did not live in the lake, but lived ringed around on land. They would try and find the WaterClan cats, and take them away from their home, the water. That meant no going on shore, no tasting fresh, delightful air. She was hunting on the island, hoping for a squirrel. Or, any land prey would be good, really. I can not belive Oceanstar and the elders kept us away from all of this!
As she hunted, Silverkit began to wonder about her friend Bubblekit back at camp. Bubblekit was counting on her to bring back some land prey. She had brought Bubblekit snacks every week. The snacks consisted of fish that she caught. Every time she brought Bubblekit food, her face lit up in a smile, and she laughed, high pitched, but quiet enough so nobody could hear them. Cute, and adorable.
She pounced, but barely missed. She decided to go back before someone noticed she was missing. Only one more week until my apprenticeship! She thought. I wonder who my mentor will be. I hope it is – crack! And with that she sank to the bottom of the lake, watching fish waltz around her, as her vision blurred, and she saw spotts.
The next morning, Silverkit was whisked away to a dream. She saw Waterstar the old leader, before Oceanstar. Waterstar beckoned with her tail and Silverkit chased her. She saw the WaterClan camp. She walked in and saw what she assumed was happening right now as she was unconscious.
She saw Bubblekit with a confused look on her face. Silverkit saw her mom, Hazelbreeze, going crazy, missing her lost kit. This was totally unlike her. She then remembered what Bubblekit had said last night. "Make sure you are home by morning. Hazelbreeze will go crazy!" Then she had dove and went toward the island. But, Bubblekit looked weird, like she was going to have a hairball. As Silverkit watched, she saw Bubblekit go rigid as she was clasped by a dream.
Silverkit walked into the medicine den, following Ivyfrost, Bubblekit's mother.
"It came out of nowhere! She fell in her bubble and just acted, strange." Ivyfrost mewed urgently.
"I'll take a look for you. Go get some rest, Ivyfrost. She'll be fine." Birchtree mewed clearly annoyed.
"Thank you Birchtree." Ivyfrost mewed again, relieved.
Silverkit padded over to Bubblekit, and went to sleep with, only to awaken in Bubblekit's dream.
Bubblekit was dreaming. Silverkit watched, Bubblekit was swimming, following her dead father, Currenttail. Silverkit noticed, he was silent. He came to quick stop. Silverkit looked down with Bubblekit, only to see herself lying unconscious at the bottom of the lake. What did I do this time? Mother will be so worried! Bubblekit woke up, and Silverkit was back to her old view of the camp. Bubblekit had woken up, and looked urgent. Is she going to tell?
