The Star Chronicles: The Sky Prophecy

Chapter III

I still can't reach him.

He's a Twoleg! What do you expect?

He has yet to find the ways of StarClan, we must be patient.

We don't have time! The danger is growing closer every moon!

House opened his blue eyes and yawned, he kept having these dreams! He stood up, winced, and lay back down. The poppy seeds weren't as good as Vicodin, but they were the only painkiller these cats had. House attempted to stand up again and succeeded, where was Leafpool? House needed more poppy seeds, fast.

"Hey, Leafpool," House asked, "Where are you?"

House suddenly realized it was near the middle of the night, he groaned. House limped over and peeked into the nursery, the queens and their kittens slept soundly. He gritted his teeth, if cats could do that, and walked back to his bed.

"Where's Leafpool? Probably off to help some poor cat in need," House smirked, "I must say, Leafpool is Cameron in cat-form."

House glanced around and snuck into Leafpool's den, it's not like anyone would miss some poppy seeds, right? He quickly took some in his paw, using it like a hand, and scarfed them down. His grey tail swished back and forth in silent pleasure as the medicine took hold, House yawned. He crawled back into his bed and soon fell fast asleep, unaware that Leafpool was currently in the skies talking with StarClan.

oOo

Leafpool looked down sadly, "Cinderpelt, I-I can't save Whitepaw. Her sickness, it just keeps...getting worse."

The old medicine cat smiled, "Don't doubt yourself, Leafpool. You already have the answer."

"But I don't!" The she-cat cried, "I've never seen anything like this!"

"Be more trusting," Cinderpelt said, "And the answer will reveal itself."

Leafpool nodded, Cinderpelt started to walk away but Leafpool stopped her.

"Cinderpelt...your leg..."

"Yes, what about it?" Cinderpelt asked, her eyes twinkling.

Leafpool shook her head, "Um, it's nothing."

Cinderpelt slowly nodded and walked away, disappearing into the sky.

oOo

House woke up the next morning, yawned, and stretched. He noticed Leafpool was trying to get a young kitten to eat some medicine, the kit was stubbornly refusing. House grinned and limped over, Leafpool looked up.

"Get out of here, I have everything under control," Leafpool hissed, she turned to the kit, "Eat the medicine Berrykit, it'll make you feel better."

Berrykit turned away, "No! I don't like it, it smells funny!"

Leafpool sighed, "Please?"

"No!"

House leaned over, "Eat the medicine or I'll throw you to the dogs."

Berrykit's eyes widened, "T-the d-dogs?"

House grinned, "Sure, since I'm a 'rouge' I have all kinds of dogs who would happily eat you up."

"House!" Leafpool hissed quietly, "You're scaring him!"

"I know some owls too," House said, "They simply love kittens."

"House, I need to talk to you," Leafpool growled, "Right now."

"What?" House said innocently when they were some distance away.

"What in StarClan's name do you think you're doing?! You just scared Berrykit half to death!"

"Hey, he wouldn't take his medicine," House argued, "I hate it when the kids at Princeton do that."

"Where?" Leafpool asked, then shook her head, "Never mind! You can't scare a kit to eat something!"

"Why not? It seems to have worked fine to me," House said smugly, looking over her shoulder.

Leafpool turned and sure enough, Berrykit was devouring his medicine. House smirked and flicked his tail, Leafpool muttered something inaudible and stomped over to Berrykit; slapping on a convincing smile.

"There, that's better isn't it?" Leafpool soothed.

Berrykit nodded, to scared to properly speak. House watched with satisfaction as Leafpool took care of Berrykit, he limped quietly away. House sat behind the medicine cat den, shaded by the large ferns. Rays of sunlight somehow made it through the thick canopy and warmed House as he took a lazy nap, sometimes it was good to be a cat.

oOo

Firestar...

The fiery tom looked around, "Bluestar?"

The darkness is growing closer, I need you to teach House to ways of StarClan...

"Why him?" Firestar asked uncertainly.

His is the Chosen One, as you once were...

Firestar slowly nodded, "I will."

Hurry, evil cannot wait forever...

oOo

"House! House!"

"Wha--? What is it? Can't you see I'm sleeping?" House growled.

"It's Firestar," Leafpool told him, "He's waiting for you."

"For what?" House asked groggily.

"For your naming ceremony," Leafpool explained, "You are to become a member of ThunderClan."

House stood up, shocked.

"Oh no," he thought determinedly, "They are not giving me one of those crazy cat names! Nope, no, never!"

oOo

"Those old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" Firestar yowled.

The cats of ThunderClan, young and old, crowded around their leader; eyes shining with curiosity. House stood next to Firestar, glaring at anyone who glanced at him. Firestar turned to him:

"Since you have not trained, I will start you off as an apprentice."

"An APPRENTICE?!" House mentally screamed, "What do you idiots take me for?!"

"From this day forward, until he has earned his warrior name, House will be known as Skypaw."

"Skypaw! Skypaw!" The surrounding cats cheered, but some spoke hesitantly; not happy with the idea of another kittypet in the Clan.

House grumbled to himself, what kind of a name is 'Skypaw'? This is ridiculous!

And as Bluestar watched from the skies of StarClan, she could already see the future becoming brighter...

oOo

"Firestar, I need to tell you something," Leafpool padded up to her father.

Firestar turned to her, "Yes?"

"It's House, um, Skypaw," Leafpool started, "I don't think he can train."

"Why not?" Firestar blinked, "Isn't his leg healed?"

"Um, I don't think it's like that," Leafpool hesitated, "Remember Cinderpelt?"

"How could I forget?"

"I think it's more like that, Skypaw can't walk properly...it's perminant."

Firestar nodded, "Then, what could he do?"

Leafpool smiled, "Well, I was thinking, perhaps he could become my apprentice?"

"Yes," Firestar closed his eyes happily, "Just like Cinderpelt."

Leafpool smiled, but inside her insides were churning.

"How could I possibly want that rude, selfish, jerk to be my apprentice? I hate him!"

"Alright," Firestar snapped her out of her thoughts, "Go tell Skypaw, see if that's what he wants."
