Hola! SilverWolf has come back with another chapter of TAOS. Hope you all enjoy it! Also, before you start reading. I just want to say that I have decided that since this story is kind of confusing, if any of you have any questions, to leave your questions in the reviews. I will make sure to answer them in the next chapter.
One last thing, I got a question asking me my age. I'm sorry to say, for security reasons, I can't answer that question. And thank you for the update, I will make sure to edit my writing before posting. Thanks!
Now for the story…
Leafpool's POV
I just stood there… frozen. I opened my mouth to reply, but nothing came out. Unable to answer the question that could change my life forever. I just looked away from the dark gray tom.
I heard him sigh and walk away.
"Are you coming?" He whispered, so quiet I almost couldn't hear him.
Turning my head towards the tom, I saw that he had stopped and was waiting for me. Why is he waiting for me?
Without saying a word, I slowly walked up to Crowfeather. He began to walk again, only this time I was following a little ways behind him. We were walking until it started to rain.
We found shelter under a small bush, and just watched the rainfall.
"Crowfeather… where are we going?" I found myself asking him.
The small tom stiffened, but didn't look at me with his piercing blue eyes. "I'm taking you back. Its obvious that your heart doesn't lie with me, but your clan."
Grief and sadness swept through me like an enemy's claw. Was Crowfeather's words correct? Does my heart lie more with ThunderClan than with my mate? My mind is telling me to go back to the clans… but my heart is saying something else.
After awhile of thinking it over, I didn't realize that I had relaxed my head on the ground and was slowly shutting my eyes, falling into a deep slumber. Not until I had opened my amber eyes and found myself not under a small bush, but on a large piece of opened forestland with what seemed like a high grounds almost completely surrounding it.
Looking around, I saw that there were bushes and small trees scattered around. Some of the bushes were aligned into a shape of a circle with some trees above them. I cautiously got up and made my way over to one of the bushes in the middle of the forestland and went inside it. Once inside, I realized that I would make a wonderful shelter against the wind and rain. Then I looked up. I noticed that on one part of bush shelter, there were no trees and you could look up at the beautiful sky. While on the other part of the shelter, there were trees that could provide shelter against rain.
Once walking out of the den-like bushes, is saw three more shelters like the one I just entered. These would make great dens for warriors, apprentices, and elders!
While exploring the area, I noticed that one of the bush shelters on the far corner of the territory against the high ground barrier was different from the others. When I entered it through a small opening, I quickly noticed that refuge had more protective bushes than the rest. These bushes would not be easy to take down without getting multiple wounds and scratches. This would make a wonderful nursery!
I then exited the bushes and made my way to another shelter down the opposite side the nursery-like shelter. It was a lot more sheltered and there was large trees that entered into it on the sides of it. Some of the trees had small or large holes in them. That would make excellent places to put herbs in! A lot like a medicine cat den…
The last thing I noticed was another small bush shelter that was against the side of the high grounds and behind a small hill of stone. I let my eyes wander to the top of the hill, and I noticed a beautiful, young gray she-cat sitting on the top, flat surface of the hill!
With the stars covering some of her pelt, I realized that this is a StarClan warrior. Bowing my head in respect to my ancestor.
"Greetings, young medicine cat. I am Bluestar." The bluish-gray she-cat meowed.
"Bluestar?! It is an honor." I gazed up at my former leader's shining blue eyes.
"I see you were exploring this new territory." Bluestar purred as she began to groom her chest fur.
"Yes…What is this place?" I asked
"You will find out in good time Leafpool." She paused from her grooming and gazed gently down at me. "Just remember this… Thunder and Wind will combine. And a Storm will awaken and expand throughout the territory." with that being said, the former ThunderClan leader disappeared.
Then everything started disappearing as well and I found myself being shaken by something. Alertly, I unsheathed my claws and opened my eyes. Getting ready to attack whoever awoken me.
"Leafpool? Wake up!" recognizing the voice of my mate, I calmed down and let myself wake up from my slumber. I was once again under the small bush that was protecting my mate and I from the rain. Was the dream real? And was that a prophecy Bluestar gave me?
Crowfeather stole a glance at me, his blue eyes as if asking 'Are you okay?' I gazed reassuringly at the hotheaded tom.
"I'm fine Crowfeather. Just a strange dream." I meowed and begin to groom my risen back fur that I haven't noticed was standing up the whole time. Crowfeather just nodded.
"We should leave soon. Before it rains again." The black-gray tom hissed quietly and gazed out at the clouding sky.
I freeze from my grooming. Do I really want to go back to the clans? After that prophecy Bluestar told me, it sounds like that would be happening in the future. Thunder and Wind will combine. That sounds like Crowfeather and me!
After awhile thinking about, I realize that I love Crowfeather more than anything. That if we can't be together, we would never be happy. I slowly walk up to my beloved mate and rub my head under his chin. I felt him tense at my touch.
"Yes… we should leave soon. After all, we have to make up for the time we lost. Don't want a patrol to stumble across us." Agreeing with him, but probably not the way he expected me too.
"You mean…" The tom twitched his tail in hope and excitement. "You'll run away with me?"
I purred at his excitement. "Yes. I have come to realize that my heart is with you, and only you."
My mate purred and nuzzled me…
Okay, here it is. So Leafpool chose Crowfeather, How sweet! Hope you all enjoyed it! And I agree this Chapter is confusing, so if you have any questions, just review and I will answer them the best I can, as long as they don't give away to much detail of the story or if it is too personal. Until next time, see ya later! SilverWolf out!
