The Unromantic Libra: thank you X3
As Leafkit and Ashenkit played they noticed Nightflower enter Owlstar's den. The brothers paused their epic battle and watched her.
"Do you think it's a prophacy?" Ashenkit mewed exitedly. "Maybe it's about us and we'll be heros!"
"Or villains..." leafkit mumbled under his breath, thinking of what had happened that morning. He glanced back at the medicine den, realising that now Aspenheart was alone.
"Um, sorry, ashenkit. I need to go for a second." He mewed, starting to walk away. Ashenkit's ears drooped and he nodded.
"Come back quickly!"
"I will."
Leafkit leaped through the medicine den's entrance. "Aspenheart-"
"I need to talk to you-" he froze. He was back in the forest again. "Nonononono! I need to wake up!" He glanced around and saw a small pond covered in a layer of algae. He sprinted toward it and leaped in. Just before his head went under he heard a voice scream his name. He didn't wake up. He was sinking in the water, not even slowed down in his decent by the liquid. The pond was deeper than it had looked from the surface. He started to panic, thrashing his limbs everywhere, but it felt more like falling through air than water. His vision blurred and he was suddenly on dry land, though his paws still felt wet. he was in the medicine den again. He let out a sigh of relief and looked up, his relieved feeling suddenly died. No, it shattered into a thousand pieces and each of those pieces exploded and then every last surviving shard burned to ash in the resulting fire. But hey, at least he knew why his paws felt wet now. Aspenheart lay in front of him, a large gash on her throat and blood pooling around her.
"No...nonononoNo!" He yowled. He'd been too late! He collapsed, staring at the dead she-cat and sobbing.
"Leafkit?!" It was Nightflower's voice. Leafkit didn't care. He sat there, limp and uncaring as cat's entered the medicine den, one of them picked him up by his scruff and carried him outside in silence. He heard his mother scream and felt her begin cleaning his fur. He didn't look at any of them, he just stared at the den where he- no, it wasn't him- one of them had killed Aspenheart. Suddenly, one voice cut through the rest.
"Leafkit, what did you do?! " Ashenkit mewled, he was staring in horror at his brother. Leafkit looked up at him.
"I-i didn't-"
"Leafkit, why did you do this?" Owlstar padded to stand in front of the horrified white and ginger kit.
"I di-didn't. It w-wasn't me- I was just trying to to talk to-o her..." he whimpered between gasps and sobs. "It was t-them! They M-made me do it!" The whole clan watched in silence as Owlstar blinked in confusion.
"Who was it then, little one?" He asked quietly. Every leader was told and re-told the story of the battle with the dark forest, and every kit was told the story at least once. Had it returned? The kit just shivered. Nightflower padded forward quietly, eyes downcast as she whispered something in Owlstar's ear. The leaders eyes widened slightly and he nodded.
"Leafkit, follow me. Now." Nightflower mewed, she sounded emotionless. Leafkit got up off of the dusty ground and padded after her, back into the medicine den. Someone had taken Aspenheart out of the den, something Leafkit was very grateful for.
"Have you been having nightmares lately?" Nightflower asked, glaring down at him.
"Y-yes." Leafkit sniffled.
"Tell me about them." She mewed. He started to describe the strange dreams, becoming more and more angry as he continued. Once he got to the part where he jumped into the pond Nightflower stopped him, looking slightly sick.
"That- that's enough, Leafkit." She sighed, glancing at Aspenheart's empty nest. "I had hoped that I wouldn't have to deal with this."
"Deal with what?" His need to know what was going on outweighed his horror and sorrow.
"Two generations ago, your grandmother's sisters were blocked from starclan's view by the darkforest, one of them was planning to kill the old leader. She lead a group of rogues into the camp, promising to let them stay in the clan if they killed the deputy and leader, allowing her to take their place. Her sister had followed her and heard of this plan. They fought and killed each-other in the battle, no-one knew which was which. Starclan has told each Windclan medicine-cat about this since then, along with a prophecy that once there was no bias toward either sister one of their descendants would be chosen to judge them. Leafkit, you were chosen."
yay! Another chapter! Comments help me update faster ;D
