Chapter 2 - The dream
A week and three and a half days, that was what Sweet always said when Princess asked how long they were staying. But she was sure that Sweet had said a week with a flicker of anxiety in her green eyes. Thistle had the same look in his eyes, the look of danger and fright.
Princess sighed and tried to push away the thoughts of Sweet and Thistle. As she did so she felt her eyes begin to grow heavy and didn't attempt to stop them as they flickered closed and brought her into a sleep deprived rest.
The thorn bushes snagged Princess's light brown fur as she pushed through the prickly plants in search of her friends who had gone in pursuit of Moss and Blue. "Robin, Cloudy,Rosie, Silver, Ruby?" She called but her mouth was dry and she felt as though her voice was not even a whisper. She suddenly caught sight of Blue's shimmering pelt and she tore through the bushes to her alarm finding that the shape was gone. After awhile of her eyes becoming a-costume to the forest she saw another glimpse of pelt this time she was certain it was Ruby's dusk red coat so when she went to find her friend she was stunned when again she found herself alone. She finally stumbled into a clearing where she saw her friends bodies lying in the grass.
With a startled gasp Princess woke up in her bed her muscles aching as if she had actually been running through the forest. She stood up winced and started to examine her pelt, she froze there where thorns in her coat which had been perfectly clean the day before. She picked them out cautiously before going through the entrance to her house-folks den which was slightly ajar.
"Ruby!" She called into her friends large garden which was quite wild and unruly, she waited until she saw her face peering out behind a poplar trees.
"Princess, you look like you've been up all night!" Ruby cried her long red tail swishing in the breeze.
Princess sighed "you could say that I suppose.."
Ruby's eyes widened, "do we need a meeting? In my garden?"
Princess gave a small nod, "can you get them?" She asked and watched as Ruby ran to fetch the others.
Ruby's garden was the place where they had meeting when other cats usually the loners where inhabiting the barn and they needed to share urgent news.
Princess leapt onto a low branch on one of the poplar trees and waited for the others, Silver and Rosie where the first then after them was Ruby, Cloudy and finally Robin.
"So Princess, what's going on?" Silver mewed to who most of the cats considered their 'leader'.
Princess twitched her ears, "I had a d-dream, I was in a forest searching for all of you and the kits Moss and Blue." She paused shakily, "I-I kept thinking I saw you, then I stumbled through a bunch of thorn and into a clearing and you were all-all g-gone, I mean d-dead.. And when I woke up there where thorns in my pelt and my muscles where aching."
Cloudy let out a deep rumble, "Do you think it's a prophecy?"
"A prophecy?" Princess questioned the knowledgeable cat.
Cloudy sighed, "youngsters," he paused, "a prophecy is a sort of message or warning.. And for better or worse you've got one."
Silver who had been very quiet spoke up, "And it puts Moss and Blue in danger. Maybe Sweet and Thistle got one too but I say we warn them. They have to stay here until the dangers passed."
Princess nodded and along with the others she ran into the barn where Moss and Blue where having a play-fight and the older loners where sharing the rabbit.
Dust looked up, "hey guys!" He exclaimed and he hopped up to greet them, Princess couldn't help noting that he was looking at Silver sort of intently and that Sweet and Thistle where looking somber and upset maybe they too had dreamed?
"We came here to talk to Sweet and Thistle privately." Ruby explained quickly. Sweet turned to the cats and with a flick of her tail stood up and lead them to a quiet corner.
"I had a prophecy," Princess started and Sweet and Thistle exchanged worried looks, "the kits had gone missing and I was alone is the forest looking for them I kept seeing flashes of the others pelts," she gestures to the cats seated behind her with a quick sliding motion with her tail, another quick glance. "Then I stumbled through a thorn bush and into a clearing were I saw their bodies and the kits lying dead on the grass."
Sweet looked frightened but she spoke clearly, "I too received this prophecy except you were among the... fallen," her voice cracked, "we have discussed this and decided that we must find the clans and live with them."
Rosie gasped, "but they kill innocent cats!"
Thistle shrugged, "better to save our kits."
Princess shivered at his ruthless tone but she understood, "we will take you."
Sweet nodded, "thank you."
"Whatever you need done we will not hesitate to do." Robin replied simply.
There was much preparing to be done for the journey as the clans where told to be very far off from their town. They packed their freshest Mice and other prey in big leaves and fed the kits so they were absolutely ready as well as giving them some essential training for things they might in encounter that like Robin said no kit should ever encounter.
The journey started well with plenty food and a sky that was a deep cloudless blue that seemed not to end. The kits where full of energy and bounding along and so where the others. Princess just hoped it was worth it.
Okay chapter 2 done and dusted, hehe. Anyway like last time tell me what you think and blah, blah, blah. If you have any ideas tell me and hopefully the next chapter will be out soon. Here's a sneak-peak of what you will see.
Princess whipped around trying to be everywhere at once, she had never seen something so..so...horrible. It's face was black and striped she new it could only be one thing, a badger.
