Darkness…
Yowls of fright and screams of pain; Greystar awoke in fright. His dream felt so real, too real. The screams of dying cats; the ground covered in blood. The claws ripping through the skin of his clan mates. The StormClan leader pushed the thoughts out of his mind. Greystar decided he would see if his clan's healer had the same dream.
On the way out he saw his deputy Darkstripe go out on a dawn patrol with Foxtail, Sunclaw and Sandpaw Sunclaw's apprentice.
Tigerpelt was sunning himself in a sunny spot. He mewed a greeting to his clan leader,
"Hi Greystar!"
"Oh hello" Greystar replied; but his mind was elsewhere.
"You don't look well" commented Stormpelt who had just come out of the healing clearing.
"Stormpelt" mewed Greystar "can I talk to you in your den?"
"Sure" answered Stormpelt wondering what was going on.
"Sorry Tigerpelt would it be alright if I talk with you later?" asked the StormClan leader.
"It's okay!" said Tigerpelt happily "I was going to see my sister soon anyway"
The tabby tom padded over to the nursery to see how his sister, Dovewing, was going with her two kits. Spottedpaw, Stormpelt's apprentice, joined to see how Ferncloud and Dovewing were doing.
"So what's wrong?" asked Stormpelt.
The grey leader sighed and explained the dream he had.
"Everything was black, but then I could see again it was a terrible sight there were cats dying everywhere! They were killed by dark shadowy looking cats. But the cats being killed were not just StormClan; but Swiftclan, DarkClan and IvyClan too! The screams of cats being murdered were echoing everywhere. Then a strange light filled the battle ground and the murdering cats fled and the clan cats fought harder and won the battle. Then the words 'Darkness will descend, four will become one, to turn back the dark and bring forth the light.' Then…"
"That's when you woke up" added Stormpelt
"Yes" Greystar said gravely
"I had a similar dream" Said the dark-grey healer.
Greystar and Stormpelt sat in silence t then Spottedpaw's yowl broke the silence
"Stormpelt!"
Spottedpaw burst into the healers den and added
"Ferncloud she's kitting!" the terror filled the apprentice's eyes.
Stormpelt grabbed the necessary herbs as Spottedpaw and Greystar raced to the nursery. Greystar's heart was pounding. His mate was going to have kits!
