Chapter 2
The New Leaf trees swayed back and forth in the wind. Sunlight glittered though the branches and leaves. So quiet. So peaceful. Bramblestar quietly walked across the middle of Thunderclan camp.
It has been 5 weeks after the defeat of the Dark forest, Tigerstar, and…. Firestar's death. JayFeather had a dream from starclan that another war like that one will never happen again. The warriors have started to leave their dens.
Dovewing came out of the den first. She stretched out and bounded over to Bramblestar. "Hello there Bramblestar", she meowed.
"Hello Dovewing." Bramblestar meowed. "Are you ready to hunt?"
Dovewing looked confused. "What? You said that I will do border patrol today"
"Err… yes, I did say that. Well, first you can do border patrol and then do hunting." Bramblestar replied as he saw Leafpool and Berrynose stretching out in front of the den.
"Thanks leader. So who shall I take?" asked Dovewing happily as she looked around the camp.
"Well…." Bramblestar looked at Cloudtail and Lionblaze leave the den and talking to Leafpool and Berrynose. "You can take those four with you."
"Okay. I will take them with me" Dovewing meowed. She then dashed to the group.
Bramblestar sighed as she left with the group a few heartbeats sooner. Being a leader is hard work. The lives of the cats, the boundaries of the territory, the fate of the clan rests in his paws. While he was deep into his thoughts, the apprentices came out of their den and gossiped to each other.
Meanwhile, Jayfeather stayed in his den, he just woke up from his sleep. He stretched his body and yawned. He felt very drowsy and tired. For the last weeks, he and the other medicine cats treated the wounded and scared toms and she-cats. He slowly padded out from his den and saw everyone has woken up and started to do their specific duties. (Jayfeather has been granted the gift of sight from starclan after the war). He saw Bramblestar and curiosity walked up to him. He stood there; he looks lost in his thoughts.
"Um, Bramblestar. Can I speak to you?" Jayfeather meowed nervously.
Jayfeather's voice snapped Bramblestar back into reality. He shook his head and looked at Jayfeather. "Is there something wrong?"
Jayfeather sighed and said, "I had a dream."
"What dream? Please explain to me." Bramblestar replied.
"Well. I tried to talk to Starclan to see what they have to say to me that's important." Jayfeather began.
"Yeah. Keep going please." Bramblestar meowed.
"But when I am dreaming, I see….. nothing. Just plain nothing. All is dark. And I see… two cats."
"Two cats? What do they look like?"
"One of them has a white pelt with black paws and patches and one is…. Gray with brown paws and a black underside…."
"Well… we don't know who these cats are, but it looks like they are from the dark forest. We better tell the clans and alert them."
"Ok. Let's go." Jayfeather replied.
With that, Bramblestar and Jayfeather headed for the entrance.
Honestly, I'm VERY sorry It took so long. Real life is really hard. The next chapter will have some action, so stay tuned =)
