Well, Here's the next Chapter! I haven't updated for a while! Thanks for the review! Please R&R
Chapter 4
Mistpaw tried to hide even though she knew that she was spotted. Closing her eyes as hard as she could she prayed to Starclan that she wouldn't be seen. When she finally had the guts to open her eyes she was surprised. Flailing her paws to bring her up she noticed that her wish had come true, only she was in the bottom of a lake! When her head broke the surface she was gasping for air. A cat faced her with half clouded eyes, "You must be more careful! This is your first warning!" the tabby tom looked toward the sky and whispered, "They time has come for the prophecy to be revealed. When Mist from the moon meets the Flame from Lightning lost souls will be found and peace will come."
Mistpaw shook her pelt, "What? What do you mean? And why do I keep ending up here?" she demanded. "I need to get back to camp!" She swirled around when she heard a stick crack behind her, a familiar red pelt rushed through the bushes. She could recognize the scent any where. But it couldn't be. Getting a closer look at the tom she gasped. It was! Flamepaw raced toward her with shocked eyes.
"Mistpaw! How are you here?" he asked almost to quickly, "I saw you stuck with one of Lightningclan's patrols. I came to help you when I slipped and somehow landed here."
Mistpaw turned to face the tabby tom who had sent the prophecy but he was nowhere to be seen, "I- I don't know. I'm sorry to be so nervous sounding but a tom was just here and told me som-"
"So you heard?" he cut her off, "What do you think about it?"
"What? This isn't happening! I don't understand any of this! I've only seen this place twice! I need to get back to Moonclan!" she didn't care how long she took to get there but all she wanted was to be away from here. Why was Flamepaw even there? She wondered, "Let me go!" she shouted when Flamepaw blocked her way.
"You can't go! You're part of the prophecy!" he stopped holding her back when Mistpaw froze.
"I can't be!" she whispered, "I- I'm not special enough! I don't even know where my family is!" Trying one last time to nudge him out the way she cried, "I just want to be normal!"
"But you're not!" he wrapped his tail around her and felt her lean into his embrace, "It'll be okay. Well hey! We are together right? I will help you with anything!" Flamepaw's comforting words soothed her.
"What are we going to do?" she whined, "I don't understand what the prophecy means!" when Flamepaw saw Mistpaw's terrified eyes his heart sank. "We not even Warriors yet!"
"I don't know! But we are going to get through this together!" he lifted his head and laid it onto her's. He licked her ears to try to comfort her. Mistpaw relaxed a bit until a voice broke the silence.
"I see you're doing better!" a small orange she- cat meowed, "I saw that you were scared, I didn't want to interrupt you two." The way she looked intensely at them sent shivers down Mistpaw's spine.
"Yes. Mistpaw is a little new at all of this." He said strongly, letting Mistpaw slip to the icy ground. Snow flushed around them like blankets almost threatening to bury them, "I'm ready for the meaning of all this Sunstar."
"Patience Flamepaw, you're time will come to know why you are here." Sunstar announced.
"But I have been coming here for nearly a whole moon!" he argued. Sunstar flicked her head around glaring at him, "I mean- I think I am ready to understand why I am here."He lowered his head trying to show respect for Sunstar.
"There are cats out there that are ready to tear your fur off! And you say you are ready?" She Demanded, "They already know about the prophecy and that you are part of it! They will hunt down every cat in every clan to find you. They will kill every cat that ever put a paw on this earth if they have to."
Mistpaw felt her fur stand on edge, "What do they want with him?" she commanded ready to defend Flamepaw, "I can take anyone who tries to even lay a paw on him!"
"Him? I think you mean us. They are looking for you as well. You have to be ready every moment to attack anyone who threatens you. You to are our last hope." She nodded her head to the two and finished, "You are ready to leave for now."
Flamepaw turned and walked toward a large oak. When Mistpaw walked to follow him he nodded to a small cherry tree, "That one is yours. Climb to the fist branch and close you eyes."
Before Mistpaw could say anything Flamepaw had already disappeared. She stared up at the tree and she finally decided to jump. Landing on the first branch was easy. She followed Flamepaw's instructions exactly until she felt herself thud hard on a patch of twigs. Oof! Looking around her she found that she was next to Moonclan's fresh kill pile. I gotta find Blazeeyes before he kills me for being gone the whole morning!
Kinda short! Oh-well! Please review!
