Squirrelflight awoke with a jolt. She licked herself clean before heading towards the medicine cat den. After the dream, she had been cramping all night. Once the ginger she-cat got there, Leafpool was pacing back and forth, not noticing her sister. Cinderpelt gave her a worried look.
"Yes, Squirrelflight?" Cinderpelt mewed to her. Squirrelflight winced as she cramped again. This time, Leafpool noticed.
"It's okay, Cinderpelt. I'll take care of things at camp, while you get those poppy seeds." Her sister volunteered. Cinderpelt sighed before leaving them alone. Squirrelflight lay down as the sun warmed her back. Leafpool didn't look like she was mad, but more worried than anything. The medicine cat shook her head before taking care of her patient.
"What's the matter?" Leafpool asked, looking around camp many times.
"I've been cramping that's all. Can I have some poppy seeds for the pain?" Squirrelflight told her. As Leafpool prepared the remedy, she meowed over her shoulder,
"Have you been eating a lot lately? Any cravings?" Squirrelflight thought about the question. So what if she had eaten three mice last night? And why did it matter if she wanted a fish at the moment?
"Well, yeah…: Squirrelflight addmited. Leafpool turned around so quick that it made Squirrelflight jump.
"You're expecting kits! Oh, Squirrelflight, that's wonderful." Leafpool purred, dropping her poppy seeds. Squirrelflight was a little overwhelmed at Leafpool at first. One minute she's mad, then worried, and now happy. Squirrelflight shook her head in disbelief. She was going to have Crowfeather's kits! Squirrelflight collapsed on the ground again, this time not making an attempt to get up. Leafpool had dropped her voice in a whisper.
"I had a vision last night." Leafpool mumbled. Squirrelflight pricked her ears up. Maybe it would have to do with her punishment for breaking the Warrior Code.
"There was a stream. And a squirrel was walking beside it. Then there was a crow flying over it's head. Leaves were everywhere! I don't know what it means, though." Leafpool mewed. Squirrelflight looked up at her sister.
"Maybe you just had a regular dream. Don't worry about it." Squirrelflight told her sister on the way out. Squirrelflight ran into the warrior's den, not wanting to run into Ashfur or Brambleclaw. Once she was settled in, Squirrelflight fell into a dreamy state…
Squirrelflight was looking down at an unfamiliar camp. She didn't recognize any cats at all, but then she saw Sandstorm and Ashfoot. Squirrelflight blinked with interest. She was there, too! Just as a kit. And there was Leafpool and Crowfeather as kits as well! Squirrelflight leaned in closer. Sandstorm was taking her and her sister away from a white she-cat. Then Ashfoot had picked up Crowfeather. The two Clan cats raced away from that weird place. Then, everything went black…
