Chapter 2
"Come on Spottedkit! I was having this really great dream-" "And now you can join me in a really great walk!" Spottedkit grumbled. "Now hurry up, or we will be caught!" Mistykit lashed her tail but said nothing. Spottedkit just sighed. This will be fun, why can't Mistykit just see that? "Mistykit!" Spottedkit hissed under her breath. Her so called sister was being a really big pain in the tail, right then, fake snoring. "Fine, I'm leaving without you!" She turned away, and went out of the nursery, paws meeting reeds, eyes brimming with excitement. The sun seems brighter than ever! It's another new day! Exploration time!
Spottedkit whiffed in the scent of green-leaf. This is such an amazing day! The sound of the bird's songs were in the distance, and the sun was just rising, making the leaves of the willows and reeds dappled with glows of light. She paced herself ahead, holding a mrrow of amusement when she saw Brackenkit snoring and waking Bluepool up, she mumbling, "I should of named him Snorekit!" She froze for a moment when Mintpaw emerged from the medicine den. She was still a bit frightened of the pretty light gray she-cat. But Mintpaw just gave her a slight nod and went back to the medicine den. Continuing her path to the outskirts of camp (of course with no one noticing), she saw the shimmering river that provided something called fish to the clan, and relaxed under a willow tree. This is so pretty! Mistykit is missing out on everything! She thought, before drifting off to sleep, unintentionally. It was just so comfortable!
She awoke to find a great sunny place, shimmering everywhere. "Wha?" Her heart pounding, she let a wriggle of excitement flow through her body. This must be StarClan! She raced around, inspecting every scent, every reed. Wow! She was so caught up with the scenery and wonder, she didn't notice the cat behind her until he spoke. "Hello Spottedkit." he whispered. Surprised, Spottedkit turned around and was face to face with Crookedstar, the legendary leader of RiverClan, friend of Bluestar from ThunderClan. His pelt was intertwined with glimmering stars, and his eyes were kind. His jaw wasn't fixed, but it didn't seem to bother Crookedstar. His eyes gave off an amused glint, like he was thinking, Kits these days. Was I ever like that? Spottedkit stared at him. This is amazing! I'm meeting a StarClan cat, and I'm not even a leader or medicine cat! She thought. What does he want to tell me? Am I supposed to be a leader? She was full of energy from the thought of being inside the leader's den. Crookedstar mewed,"Spottedkit, the truth must be shown, so it will be shown." "What?" Spottedkit mewed back, "What do you mean?" She almost blurted, Just tell me straight up flea-brain! but he was a legendary leader. He was fading away, up into the sky, and Spottedkit woke to find herself back under the willow tree.
Grumbling as Spottedkit tried to stand up, she tried to figure out what Crookedstar meant. But she couldn't make sense of his words. How she so wanted to strangle the cat! But he was a legendary leader! Oh why did he have to be a legendary leader! Spottedkit almost yowled. Still confused over Crookedstar's words, she went over to the RiverClan camp, sneaking back into the milky nursery.
"Mistykit?" She scanned the nursery, picking out her sister's blue-gray pelt. She shook Mistykit gently, not wanting her to wake the whole camp. Sliverleaf almost woke up, and Spottedkit had to take forever to finally get to Mistykit without her mother waking and scolding her. "Mistykit!" she said, more urgently, "I have something to tell you!" Mistykit woke, scrambling to her paws. "Okay, okay! I'll wake up!" Her whiskers twitched. "What?" "SHUSH!" Spottedkit hissed. "Over here." Spottedkit said cautiously, looking around before tracing her steps. Mistykit followed, muttering under her breath about having a fur ball for her twin. Spottedkit would get her back later. This was important, and her sister was acting like it was going to be the end of the Clans if she missed her sleep. "Okay, now sit down over here." Spottedkit flicked her tail towards a clump of reeds, where she had lay down on, and entered StarClan territory. "So?" Mistykit asked. "This better be worth the time I could be sleeping in my warm den." Taking a huge breath, Spottedkit started the whole story of her extraordinary walk, stating every possible detail. Mistykit's eyes grew wide. "What does this mean?" she whispered. "I don't know, but it must be important!" Spottedkit replied. "Maybe we'll be leader and medicine cat!" Mistykit widened her eyes. "I get to be leader!" Spottedkit whined, "He went to me! I should be leader!" They got into an arguement that lasted until sunhigh. Spottedkit noticed and gulped. "Sliverleaf is going to kill us." Mistykit stopped and sighed. "No going out today." "Aww...the nursery is so stuffy and boring!" Spottedkit muttered. Then she followed Mistykit into camp, and prepared for the long lecture from her mother. She did this by collecting sticks to hide behind.
