Sorry about the chapter I had up at first. I forgot to revise and there were tons of mistakes in it and it wasn't as good as it could be.
Lightningspirit the supreme: Sorrelpaw only has one power, but I'm not making it super-clear. I'm trying to give a clue in each chapter, so be on the lookout!
Pebbleshine: Thanks! And maybe the Erins made a mistake, after all, Rowanstar begins as a she-cat.
Guest: I am updating right now.
Also guys, on top of at least trying to put a clue to make Sorrelpaw's power a little clearer, I'm trying to put a clue of who the mysterious cat is in each chapter. There will be a hint in this one, for both things.
Sorrelpaw felt a sharp pain in her scruff as the cat dragged her.
"Sorrelpaw!" She remotely heard from Hollypaw. The cat left her in the shadows, helplessly dazed, as they dragged in her sister as well. Not as dazed, she tried to get up, but the other cat, who was much bigger than Hollypaw, easily pinned her down. Feeling stronger, Sorrelpaw stood, confronting her captor.
"Hello," the cat greeted.
"Get off of me!" Hollypaw growled. The cat calmly placed his paw over her mouth.
Sorrelpaw snarled. "Let us go," she firmly stated, just like the other times.
He mrrowed in amusement. "I believe not. You still need a lot of time to learn about your power. I need you for a task, so come along."
Her snarl didn't fade. "What task?"
"The Clans should be ruled by me. I need to rule over all of them, and destroy - well, perhaps I should stop. I need you, so come along. Don't worry, you'll have company." They made a gesture toward Hollypaw.
"No," she breathed.
"But she must come now, and so should you."
"No," she stated more firmly this time.
"Alright," they shrugged. "If you change your mind, I'll be around the Moonpool, so come and find me." They made a long scratch along her side and shoved her back into the light, while both the cat and Hollypaw melted into the shadows.
"Hollypaw," she breathed. She stumbled and fell unconscious, all the wind knocked out of her.
"Hollypaw!" Sorrelpaw gasped as she whipped awake. Briarlight was beside her, stroking her side with gentle paws.
"It's alright," Briarlight assured.
Sorrelpaw began sobbing. "No it isn't!"
Briarlight sighed and stopped stroking her. "Where is she? Do you know?"
"No," she shook.
"If they wanted you, though," Briarlight reminded, "they'll for sure keep Hollypaw alive as some sort of lure, if that makes you feel any better."
Sorrelpaw blinked a tear away. "I guess that's true."
"Good. Think good thoughts. It makes you feel better."
Leafpool cautiously poked her head in through the bramble screen and saw that she was awake. She came in and took some herbs out of the store and dropped them beside her. "This will help you recover from your shock," she explained.
"Thyme?" Sorrelpaw asked. Leafpool smiled with approval.
"Should she get a poppy seed?" Briarlight asked.
"Good idea," Leafpool mewed, carefully scooping up and laying it on a thyme leaf. Sorrelpaw ate that stalk first and then ate the rest. She calmly drifted off her vision blurring, until it was completely black. Like Hollypaw, was her last thought before she was sucked into the void of rest.
So it's getting exciting, I know. And if you think that there weren't the hints I promised, they were in there.
