Sorry about the short chapters but I can't do long ones...
For the next few days, Jaypaw stayed in the medicine cats' den. And by the time she'd left, the story of her "fit" had spread. Some watched her with eyes aglow, wondering if she could be bringing them a message from StarClan. Some stayed far away from her, muttering that she was losing her mind.
Every now and then, the wing sounds would come back, crashing through her mind, nearly driving her insane. When it happened, she would hide away in a dark place and curl up into a ball until it was over.
It wasn't long before cats began to notice. Especially her sisters.
"Are you okay, Jaypaw?" Emberpaw asked worriedly.
"You haven't been yourself lately," said Nightpaw.
"I'm fine, Jaypaw assured them. They'd just finished battle practice, and were sharing a large squirrel. "I've just been a little under the weather, that's all."
"Sure," Nightpaw snorted, but they said nothing else on the subject.
That night, Jaypaw had a dream.
It was dark, and a voice spoke to her.
"My name is Eaglefeather. I am just like you. You are one of us. We need your help. The prophecy has failed so many times. Seek Owl, and know your heart."
When Jaypaw woke up, her back ached. It felt tight and swollen. She winced and thought back on the dream. Who (or what) was "Owl"? And why should she seek them?
She stood from her nest, stretched her stiff muscles, and padded out of the apprentices den, fluffing out her fur against the falling rain. She ducked into the medicine cat den.
"Skypaw!" she whispered. "Skypaw?"
Two wide blue eyes opened in the dark. "Jaypaw?"
"Skypaw, I had a dream. Do you promise not to tell anyone?"
Skypaw nodded. Jaypaw told her about the dream. "What do you think it means? Is it a sign from StarClan? It spoke of a prophecy…"
"I'm not really sure," Skypaw admitted. "But there's only on way to learn more. You need to find Owl."
