I'm back! This will be Briarlight's chapter. Yay! Briarlight's one of my favorite characters now.
CHAPTER 3
Briarlight followed Jayfeather to where the other medicine cats were waiting. Littlecloud, Dewpaw, Mothwing, Willowshine, and Kestrelflight, and a small black-and-white apprentice.
"This is Eaglepaw." Kestrelflight announced.
"Welcome, Eaglepaw." Dewpaw purred warmly.
Briarlight dragged herself beside Dewpaw. "I'm becoming a full medicine cat tonight." she whispered excitedly.
They were at the Moonpool.
"Briarlight, come forward," Jayfeather urged.
Briarlight dragged herself to where he was waiting.
"Briarlight, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, and to stand apart from rivalry between clan and clan?"
"I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I pronounce you as full medicine cat."
"Briarlight! Briarlight!" the medicine cats cheered. Briarlight purred softly.
They stepped back to let her drink first. Just before she fell asleep, she saw Willowshine urging Mothwing to drink from the pool.
"Oh, all right," Mothwing sighed, giving in.
Then Briarlight was asleep.
She was not on StarClan's hunting grounds. She wasn't even sure where she was. All she knew was that it was dawn.
She stood back as a cat raced by, the light shining on their pelt. It bristled at the sight of a puddle that had a few leaves in it. The cat sprang.
Briarlight noticed a squirrel darting away from something. As it passed, the cat killed it.
Briarlight woke up. What in the name of StarClan was that?
She dragged herself to where Dewpaw, Mothwing, Littlecloud, and Eaglepaw were waiting. Willowshine woke up and joined them. Jayfeather was the only one asleep.
Jayfeather woke up and sniffed the edge of the pool to see who was awake. Dewpaw, Eaglepaw, and Briarlight giggled. Jayfeather jumped when he realized that he had been the last to wake.
Briarlight followed slowly, pondering her dream. She had dreamed about a cat catching prey. What was that supposed to tell her? That there would be more prey?
She snorted. Of course there would be more prey. Newleaf was coming soon enough. StarClan didn't need to tell her that.
"Hi, Jayfeather, Briarlight!" Amberpaw squeaked as they ran into her on the way back. "I was just hunting with Cherrynose, and decided to track you down. How'd it go?"
"I'm a full medicine cat now," Briarlight replied proudly.
"Well, congratulations. Now, I'd better go and catch something else." The ginger apprentice picked up her mouse and trotted away.
Briarlight entered the camp. Only a few cats were in the clearing. Dovewing and Bumblestripe were sharing a small bird by the half-rock, and Lilypaw and Dewpaw were wandering aimlessly through the camp, waiting for their mentors to wake up.
More prey? Briarlight stared at the empty spot where the fresh-kill pile usually was, then at Dovewing and Bumblestripe, sharing something so small. Yeah, right.
...
Congratulations, Briarlight. Now, maybe if you review, ThunderClan will be able to find more prey.
