Okay, I got this random idea and decided to go with it. This is all about Jayfeather, yayness!!!
Jayfeather: You're gonna make bad things happen, aren't you?
Me: Maybe... but lots of good things happen too!
Jayfeather: OI!!!
Destiny's Way…
…Of Ruining Your Life
Jayfeather gasped, breathing hard. He took a breath and identified his apprentice, Skyflower, prodding him with her paw.
"Jayfeather, are you OK?" she asked. Jayfeather nodded.
"Yeah, Skyflower – I'm fine."
Skyflower's naming ceremony had been held two moons ago, and she was very good as a medicine cat. Her father was Jayfeather's brother, Lionblaze, and her mother was Cinderheart.
The gray tabby she-cat gazed at him, her blue eyes shining. "Did StarClan have bad news?"
"Um… I can't remember," Jayfeather lied. As Skyflower opened her mouth to say more, two cats poked their heads in – a black she-cat with green eyes and a ginger tom with golden flecks and amber eyes.
"Skyflower, c'mon!" the black she-cat exclaimed. "We're going patrolling, and Sparkstorm wanted to show you a new supply of catmint he found!"
"Okay, coming, Ravensong!" Skyflower called. She darted out, following her brother Sparkstorm and her sister Ravensong. Jayfeather sighed, actually trying to recall his dream.
Oh, yeah. It was the dream of the Twoleg girl and the tortoiseshell she-cat. And Yellowfang… she had given him a message – Beware of the shining symbols scratched in the earth, or your destiny will be sealed.
His destiny… He didn't understand that. The prophecy had been fulfilled, though mostly thanks to Lionblaze and Doveflight.
Could there be something else involving him…?
Jayfeather padded out into the clearing, headed for the fresh-kill pile. He identified Lionblaze, Ivyfern, Doveflight, Cinderheart, and Poppyfrost sharing a pheasant. He chose a plump mouse and settled down beside his brother.
"Mm… Hey Jayfeather," Lionblaze mumbled.
"Hi, Lionblaze," Jayfeather said. He paused for a moment before asking, "Has anyone seen any strange symbols scratched into the earth anywhere lately?"
"Why?" Ivyfern asked.
"Medicine cat stuff, probably," Cinderheart said, flicking her tail.
"Well, sorry, Jayfeather, but I haven't seen anything," Poppyfrost said.
"Me neither," Ivyfern added. Cinderheart shook her head no.
"Lionblaze? Doveflight? What about you?" Jayfeather asked.
"No, I haven't, Jayfeather. I'll let you know if I do see something, though," Lionblaze promised.
Doveflight rose to her paws. "Um… Jayfeather? I… I saw something that might interest you…"
"Okay, Doveflight," Jayfeather replied, taking his last bite of the mouse.
"What'd you see?" Ivyfern asked her sister. Doveflight shrugged and said, "Well, I just saw something on the ground, but it was covered with leaves, so I didn't bother with it."
"Well, whatever, lead the way," Jayfeather said. Lionblaze rose to his paws.
"I'm done, so I think I'll join you," the golden tom said. Jayfeather nodded and the three set off.
When out of earshot of any cat, Jayfeather whispered, "Doveflight, you wouldn't happen to know about this from your senses, would you?"
"Um… maybe…" Doveflight said as she stopped. She pushed away some leaves and gasped. "Jayfeather! There are weird scratches in the dirt here! Lionblaze, help me uncover the rest!"
As the two cats worked, Jayfeather wondered what he was doing. He was doing this so that he would know where to not go, not so that he could have something happen!
"Jayfeather, it's all uncovered, and… you're in the center. The scratches are… uh, Jayfeather, are the scratches supposed to glow?" Lionblaze was stepping back, and Jayfeather called, "Guys?! What…?"
"Jayfeather, you might want to - " Doveflight stopped short as dust whirled up and around. Jayfeather shrieked.
"Don't say I didn't warn you," Yellowfang's voice hissed in his ear. Then it felt like the ground was gone, and Jayfeather felt himself tumbling through air. When he hit ground, it wasn't the ground he was used to…
Jayfeather's been transported to... somewhere!!!! YAY!!
Jayfeather: I hate you right now.
Me: I LOVE YOU TOO!!
Jayfeather: O.o
