Jayfeather looked eagerly around, though he tried not to let it show. He couldn't believe it. There were so many colors! So many more than there were in his dreams! No longer was he trapped in the everlasting darkness he had once known.

"Well, anyways, how about we let our ancestors to speak to us." Leafpool suggested.

"That sounds great." Littlecloud mewed. He was a tabby!

Jayfeather eagerly lapped the cool water, he saw the water drifting lazily around in the pool. Soon, his eyes closed gently, his dark world filled him again, but was replaced by the familiar surroundings of StarClan territory. Bluestar wandered up to him.

"Well, how are you enjoying your eyes?" she laughed.

"Thank you Bluestar." he meowed, bowing his head happily.

"I watch over everyone from my Clan. If I had known sooner what Spottedleaf had said..."

"You didn't know that Spottedleaf told me that it was my destiny to be a medicine cat?"

"Of course not. Spottedleaf is headstrong... Sometimes cats do things, that all of StarClan hasn't agreed on. Sometimes they stop it, others they don't." she started mumbling something unreadable to herself.

"Well, if that's all. Wait, how long will I be able to see?"

"Forever. You have the power of StarClan in your eyes now."

"Wow, the power of StarClan." he smiled.

"Now, wake up."

A voice from somewhere above suddenly called his name, awakening him from his visit with Bluestar. As Jayfeather blinked open his eyes, Jayfeather was delighted to be able to see still.

"Now, we'll see you at the next gathering." Littlecloud's mew came from ahead, he and Flamepaw were walking away. Soon followed by Willowshine. Leafpool and Jayfeather said there good-byes as Krestlepaw talked to Barkface about something. They flicked their tails in acknowledgement, and the two walked away.

"So, who's dream did you go into tonight?" Leafpool asked, when they were inside their own territory.

"My own."

"Right. Now, really, who's did you go into?"

"Mine. I didn't go into anyone's dream, I was talking to Bluestar. Why?"

Leafpool was silent, she looked like she didn't believe him. Jayfeather rolled his eyes, to look toward the sky. He gave a silent awe toward where the stars hung still in the sky.

As they entered the camp, Jayfeather saw a black she-cat with green eyes laying out in front of the warriors den. She smelled of Hollyleaf. This is what his sister looked like? A golden tom walked out, his amber eyes sleepy. He smelled of Lionblaze. His brother? Then the two noticed him, the black she-cat walked toward him, closely followed by the golden tom. "Hi Jayfeather." mewed the black she-cat. It was definitely Hollyleaf.

"Hi Hollyleaf." Jayfeather yawned.

"How was the meeting?" came his brother's voice.

"Normal. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to sleep." he growled, and walked into the den where he slept.

As he entered the world he knew so much, he felt, happy. He could see, this was his wish for as long as he could remember. Suddenly, his dream was filled with a surrounding that Jayfeather thought he knew. Tall trees grew from the black earth around him. A tabby warrior walked out of the black darkness. A light brown tabby with a white belly followed. Their blue and amber eyes gleamed, and then Jayfeather remembered them. Tigerstar was the dark tabby, he was his adoptive father's father. Hawkfrost was the other one, Brambleclaw's half-brother.

"Tigerstar." Jayfeather bowed his head toward the ShadowClan leader, then to the RiverClan warrior. "Hawkfrost."

"Jayfeather, how, nice, it is to see you." Tigerstar mewed.

"Why are you here?" Jayfeather snarled.

"Can't I see my son's kit from time to time?"

"Last time you saw me you wanted to train me."

"My offer still stands. If you stop being a medicine cat."

Jayfeather thought for a second. What if he stopped being a medicine cat? Surely some other cat could take his place? What if he became a warrior instead?

"Your considering it, good." Hawkfrost mewed.

"Yes, very good. Now, we'll be back soon. To, see if you've chosen the right path."

Jayfeather bowed his head again as everything disappeared. He woke to the sun shining in his eyes.

He smiled, another day, more sights. He loved it. Everyday he would see more sights. Soon he'd go to the gathering, and see cats. As he stretched out into the clearing, he saw a ginger she-cat with a fluffy tail grooming a dark tabby that looked much like Tigerstar. Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, his adoptive parents.

A pale ginger she-cat with green eyes walked over to them, she smiled, and then headed toward him. "Jayfeather," she mewed, with that he knew this was Sandstorm. "I got a thorn in my paw somewhere, can you help me with it." she asked.

"Of course." Jayfeather mewed. Sandstorm held up her paw, and Jayfeather took grip of the thorn. It was stuck deep in her paw. He pulled hard, and the thorn came out, followed by a squirt of blood. "Lick that, I'll be right back with some marigold." he mewed. As he walked into the medicine cat den, he noticed Leafpool on the ground sleeping. 'She's probably just tired.' Jayfeather thought, and picked up the marigold. After spreading the marigold leaves over Sandstorm's paw, he walked back in. Leafpool was awake now, she looked tired still.

"Leafpool, are you all right? You lo- I mean seem tired."

"Oh, it's nothing. I couldn't get to sleep until late last night." she mewed.

"Alright." Jayfeather mewed. "Is there anything you'd like me to do?"

"No, you can just hang out in camp." Leafpool mewed standing up and stretching out.

Jayfeather bowed his head and walked out of the den, at once he noticed the black she-cat and the golden tom he had talked to last night. He couldn't believe that he could see still. He had to tell his brother and sister first. "Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, good morning." he mewed.

"Good morning..." Hollyleaf said surprised.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, you just seem awfully happy this morning."

"Oh, I had a good dream last night, along with a sleep." he mewed, lying. How could talking with Tigerstar and Hawkfrost been good?

"Okay." Lionblaze mewed suspiciously. "So, what's new?" he asked, trying to make conversation. Jayfeather looked around, nobody was near enough to here them.

"Well, you'll never believe what happened to me last night."

"You shouldn't tell us! Medicine cats can't share their dreams!"

"It wasn't a dream! It was what Bluestar told me to do. I did it. Now I can see!" he mewed excitedly. Lionblaze burst into a fit of laughing. Hollyleaf gave him a cold stare, but Jayfeather could tell that she was holding back a laugh too.

"You don't believe me!" Jayfeather snarled.

"Well, Jayfeather. You're blind, you've been blind all your life. We just don't believe that you can see, it's kind of hard to believe."

"I know, but it's true! I'll prove it." Jayfeather growled, looking fiercly as Lionblaze started to stop his laughing. Jayfeather turned around. "Dustpelt's a brown cat, he's going on patrol with a tall black tom... Oh, that's Spiderleg. Along with him, he's going with a white she-cat. No, wait, two white she-cats. One's smaller than the other, it's Whitewing and Icepaw I think."

Lionblaze and Hollyleaf were quiet, when Jayfeather looked around, he saw their mouths gaping. "Close your mouths, you'll catch flies." he teased.

"So, your serious, you can see?" Lionblaze whispered hoarsly.

"I'm not lying."

"This is amazing! I can't believe this! This is great!" Hollyleaf squealed.

"Ssh! Do you want the whole clan to here?" Lionblaze growled.

"Sorry. This is just so amazing!"

"I know, how do you think I feel?" Jayfeather asked.

Hollyleaf was quiet for a second, then said, "Excited!"

"Yeah, don't tell anyone though. It's our secret. Like the secret that we keep now with Squirrelflight."

"It's that serious?"

"Well wouldn't you think that it would be weird that a blind cat suddenly found a way to see?"

Lionblaze interrupted them. "Alright we get it. Now, what are you going to do?"

"Stay a medicine cat I guess. I don't think I can become a warrior now. Not after I got my name."

"True. But I became a warrior after being a medicine cat."

"That's correct, but you were an apprentice then."

"Oh, right."

"Jayfeather!" a voice called, it was Daisy's, she sounded worried. Probably Rosekit or Toadkit had gotten into trouble. Again.

"What is it Daisy?" Jayfeather groaned as he turned around. He saw the anxiety on her face.

"I think Toadkit has a fever!" her voice was terrified.

"Let me take a look." Jayfeather sighed. He and Daisy walked back to the nursery, Toadkit was asleep, Rosekit was staring at Millie's kits, Briarkit, Bumblekit, and Blossomkit with interest.

Jayfeather took a short sniff from the young tom. Nothing was wrong, but when Jayfeather felt the top of his head it was definaitly hot.

"Where was he?" he thought that maybe if he had been in the sun, or somewhere else hot, that would explain things.

"He was out on the rocks with Rosekit. When I walked up to get them I burned my paws a bit."

"Rosekit, come here." Jayfeather called. The she-kit walked over. Jayfeather placed his tail on her forehead, it was hot too. "That's all I needed." he mewed. "It's all right. It was just hot up there, they were playing and just got a little hot. Anyways, he'll be fine, so just keep him in the shade, it'll help cool him off."

"Thank you Jayfeather." Daisy mewed happily.

"Of course. If that's all I'll be going now." With a sigh the tom walked out of the nursery. This was one of the reasons Jayfeather hated being a medicine cat, Daisy's over protective tail. He looked over to his leader, up on Highledge, sunning with his mate. Now that's what he'd rather be, leader. With all the power, he could do whatever he wanted, he could rule. Not be stuck with Daisy coming to him everyday worrying about the tiniest piece of missing fur on Rosekit. Or Toadkit feeling just a little hot.

But what if that could happen? What if he could be leader? Could it really happen? No, probably not. If Firestar died Brambleclaw was deputy. There was no way he could be leader. Unless he killed both of them... Why was he thinking this!? He wouldn't kill his leader. He certainly wouldn't kill the tom he thought was his father only a while ago.

As the day progressed he found himself thinking about it more and more. What if he killed the leader and deputy? Could he become leader? He had no warrior training, there was no way he could take down both with his claws. But what if he didn't need his claws? He knew he didn't, he had ingrediants to kill in the medicine cat den. Deathberries, hollyberries, any kind of poisonous or killer berry he had in the den. He could do it.

That night, as he drifted off, he found himself in Tigerstar's domain once again. The tabby's eyes looked at him from the darkness.

"I'm in." he growled.
