Chapter Three: You Again

Jayfeather awoke, his neck stiff and his back sore. He sat up, twisting his head from side to side to stretch out his neck. The blind tom reached his paw to the back of his neck. Jayfeather knitted his brow. How in the name of StarClan...

Jayfeather slowly realized that he was a Twoleg...er, human again. He leaned one hand on a cold stone wall and rose to his feet. Hitting his head on the roof of the cave, he dizzily sat back down. He leaned his back against the cave wall and drew in a sigh; maybe it was a bad idea to come and pay Autumn a visit. But then again, if he got to see Autumn again, it would numb some of the ache in his heart.

Jayfeather guessed that it was still night time since a cool breeze stirred the trees and the birds were silent. He poked his head outside and suddenly, the darkness lifted from his vision. In front of him stood the starry outline of Yellowfang. The neko tossed his head back and groaned. "What in the name of StarClan is it now, Yellowfang?"

Yellowfang glared at him harshly. "Respect your elders." Then she mumbled about no-good, rude youngsters as she leaped onto a very large rock. Jayfeather crossed his arms. "What is so important?"

The matted old tabby sighed as she flicked her ears. "Jayfeather, if I were you I would turn back and go home."

Jayfeather flattened his ears against his head and quirked an eyebrow. "And why would I want to do that? I came here on purpose. I want to see Autumn again."

"That's the problem," Yellowfang hissed. "You are going to get too attached to that female Twoleg. You won't ever want to go home!"

Jayfeather hissed back at her. "I will not get too attached to Autumn! And since when do you care about my social life? You are obviously not my mother!"

"Don't say I didn't warn you, Jayfeather," Yellowfang growled. "Bad things will come your way."

Darkness slammed down on Jayfeather's vision as Yellowfang faded into the night. Bad things will come my way? Jayfeather asked himself. Maybe Yellowfang was just messing with him. With that, he shrugged it off and stood up. It felt weird standing on two paws...er, feet. The blind neko walked out of the cave, and into the forest. Said neko stumbled around until he smelled something very familiar.

Jasmine flowers.

"What's on my head?" Jayfeather demanded.

Autumn let herself laugh a bit. "It's just a jasmine flower. Relax!"

Jayfeather crossed his arms. "Just a jasmine flower, huh?" He reached for the flower and gently grabbed it. He beckoned Autumn closer and tried to put it in her hair, but he couldn't see where he was placing it. Autumn guided his hand and then, he retreated it.

Jayfeather twitched his tail. Then the willow tree must be around here somewhere, he mused, trying to find said willow tree.

After some more stumbling and tripping over roots, Jayfeather finally found the willow tree. He allowed himself a small smile as he clambered up onto the lowest branch. The gray neko leaned his back against the trunk of the tree and suddenly he felt tired. Alright, maybe a quick nap would do me some good.

He allowed himself to close his eyes and drift off.

Jayfeather opened his eyes to a large Twoleg den made out of red stone. There was a rather large rectangular garden out in the front. Cut outs in the walls of the den were filled with the same shiny, clear substance that humans put in the walls. But this den didn't look like any ordinary Twoleg den. Young Twolegs, not quite adults nor kits, were swarming the pathways and entrances to the den. They all chattered and buzzed amongst themselves, and by looking at their expressions, Jayfeather could tell that they were happy.

"Briley, wait up!"

The gray neko turned his head in the voice's direction, although the voice wasn't calling for him. That voice he knew so well...it was unmistakeable. He knew the voice belonged to her.

Autumn came into Jayfeather's view, but she looked different than she had last time. The glasses on her face were gone, and her dark ginger hair was now pin straight. Autumn had also grown a bit taller. But that's not what bothered Jayfeather.

Autumn walked up to a male Twoleg...human, with shadowy black hair and bright hazel eyes that looked almost amber. His skin was stark white, and his face expressed no emotion. The bubbly girl embraced the mysterious character, who continued to stare on with an empty hazel-amber stare. Jayfeather was too far away to hear anymore of the conversation between the two of them. But just as Briley and Autumn were about to join the rest of their peers and enter the building, Briley turned his head to face the confused neko. Briley's lips curled into a venomous smile, his empty hazel-amber finally showing emotion. The pupils of Briley's eyes dilated to the tiniest sliver of black and Jayfeather swore that he let out a menacing hiss.

The blind neko awoke with a start, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. Jayfeather shook his head to rid his mind of the sinister look on the one named "Briley". Jayfeather sat upright, letting out a deep breath. Thank StarClan that was only a dream, Jayfeather sighed inwardly.

He perked up as he heard leaves and grass rustling somewhere in front of him. Curiosity poked at his mind and he hopped down from his branch. The sound of rustling leaves drew nearer. The willow leaves brushed aside, and a tiny gasp could be heard. Jayfeather's ear twitched, and he froze up.

The figure before him took a cautious step forward. "J-jay?" The voice stammered as if it was unsure and frightened.

Jayfeather's clouded blue eyes widened.

It was that same voice that brought back a string of memories. It was that same voice that haunted his very dreams.

But most importantly, it was her voice.

Autumn's voice.

"Autumn," Jayfeather breathed.

Author's Note~

GAAAHHH This was short! :'c I'm sorry this took a bit longer than usual. Writer's block came to plague my mind when I got to the part about Jayfeather's dream.

But anyways, who is this Briley character? Who do you think he is? If you think you have a clue as to who he might be, leave a review! :)

Thanks for reading, I really really appreciate it!
