Chapter 2: My First Chance At Talking
Hey! I'm updating today!!! Yay! I got 4 reviews!!! Thank you reviewers!!!!
Disclaimer: I own Warriors!!!!!!! Mwahahahaha!!!! That is why I made all these fanfictions!!!! Doesn't that make a lot of sense???
Echostar- Thank you! I'm so happy you like my new style of writing. I like it better too. :)
Stormfur's Sweetie- Yay! I'm glad you like it. :) I guess it is kind of sad, huh?
Princess Alyra- I'm flattered. I'm glad you like my stories. I hope you read my other one too:)
Kira2667-I guess I should have explained that more. Yes, they are pretty dumb, but Featherkit didn't listen to anything Smallfern said (she was too busy playing with a leaf she had found), so Smallfern declared her as deaf. And it doesn't help much when you call her because she wouldn't listen anyways. When Redfur calls her back to the nursery, she just sits there and still plays, or waits for Brightpaw to come pick her up and bring her to the nursery. But sometimes Redfur does it or Fernkit pushes her along to the nursery. :)
Now on to the chapter.
"You, wake up. I said wake up!"
A claw pierced into my left ear and I jolted my head up in silent pain. I was laying on a cold forest floor surrounded by trees with tops that blocked out the sky. Blood tricked down my ear where it had been pierced.
"Hey you, speak. I know you can do it." A she-cat hissed. I looked up to see a pretty she-cat with a brown pelt with white splotches that was neatly groomed. Her eyes were the color of rubies with blazing fire that lay within them.
I stared at her, confused at what she had told me to do. I was mute, wasn't I? Didn't she know that?
"What's wrong? Fox got your throat? I told you to speak, so speak!" She stared down at me, waiting.
I opened my mouth and a squeak came out. I looked down, embarrassed.
"Try again," the she-cat growled.
"Who are you?" I said in a whisper. Holy foxdung! I could talk!
"Yay! You talked!" She said sarcastically, "I'm Redheart. You might have heard of me, you might have not. I could care less either way." Redheart sat down next to me.
"Where are we?" I asked, wondering if this was the oh-so-great Starclan I had heard about my whole life.
"This is the Dark Forest. Don't ask why I'm here. It's a long story that will be saved for another day." She licked the blood off my ear.
I had heard of the Dark Forest only once. That was when Fernkit and me were in the elder's den. Stonefoot had told us that it was a place where bad cats go. It wasn't great like Starclan was. But I didn't think Starclan was that great, and I still don't. When they tear open the sky and give me a voice, then maybe I'd believe in them.
"Now, you have come here so I can tell you about your power." Redheart mewed in between licks.
"My power?" I had a power? I thought I was a useless kit! How could I have a power?
"Yes. You used it on Smallfern back in Windclan. Now, you can only use it when you're filled with hatred for a single cat. Once all that hatred builds up, you look them in the eye, and bam, you've used it. But, it can kill you if you don't know how to use it properly or control it well."
My eyes grew wide in wonder, shock, excitement, and fear.
"Does that mean I'm dead?" I squeaked. The thought of never seeing Brightpaw or Fernkit scared me out of my fur.
She took a breath and sighed. "Yes, you are dead," She thought for a moment, "Say, your almost 6 moons aren't you?"
"Yup! I'm gonna be an apprentice soon!" I lowered my head to my paws, "I mean, I was gonna be an apprentice soon."
"Oh, stop your moaning! You're still going to be an apprentice. It's about time you went back anyways."
I got to my paws at that. "Really? I can? But I'm dead!"
"Yes you can," she said with a glimmer of amusement in her eyes, "But you can't tell anyone, not even Fernkit or Brightpaw."
I thought for a few moments. In my opinion, it was worth it.
"Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone."
"Well then, here, I give you this life, so you can return to your own." She touched her nose to my forehead, and my fur glowed a silvery grey. My body tingled at the feeling that overwhelmed me.
"Goodbye, Redheart. Thank you! I hope to see you again." I whispered and licked her cheek as she began to fade from my vision.
"Goodbye, young Featherkit. I'll see you sooner than you think." Redheart said mischievously.
Then Redheart and the Dark Forest disappeared, leaving me to sleep in darkness.
Did you like it? Here are two special questions for my special reviewers. You get a very special gift if you guess them both correct!!!!
1.) Who did Redheart murder to get into the Dark Forest when she died?
A.) Smallfern's mentor, Dapplefur (they are both medicine cats if you forgot)
B.) Froststar, the leader before Brownstar (the current leader)
C.) Starclan didn't like her so they put her in the Dark Forest for no reason
D.) She didn't murder anyone
2.) How did Redheart murder that cat?
A.) She used to have the same power Featherkit did
B.) She used the element of surprise and murdered him/her with her extremely sharp claws
C.) I already said Starclan didn't like so they put her in the Dark Forest for no reason
D.) I already said she didn't murder anyone
I'm not going to put an alliance page unless you want me to. If you do, tell me when you review, or pm me saying you do. I love you all!
Hugs,
