Honeypaw wasn't sure if she was having a dream or a nightmare. Before her, were all her clanmates. They were talking, playing and eating but there was something off. Quailflight's movements were odd and jerky as he shared a vole Bumblewing. Suddenly, he fell. No one seemed to notice. Honeypaw ran over to the young tom's side, but she already knew he was dead. Next, Dapple began to fidget. She was playing with her mate, Darkclaw. In less than a minute, she had collapsed too. This cycle continued until there were only two cats left. Her littermates, Softpaw and Smokepaw. They were playing as if nothing had happened. Honeypaw tried to call out, to tell them to run, but it was no use.
Softpaw and Smokepaw collapsed in unison. Honeypaw screamed.
Back in the real world...
Honeypaw awoke screaming. Swiftly, Pinestripe was at her side
"You ok?"
"Y-yeah...just a nightmare"
"Ok. Well Mothspots and Brackenclaw are here to see you"
The tom cast one more concerned look at Honeypaw before padding out. Soon, Mothspots and Brackenclaw clambered in.
"Excuse me Honeypaw, Mothspot's stomach hurts"
Honeypaw stumbled over to Mothspots, who lay spread out on a nest. Honeypaw placed a paw on her stomach. She waited. A moment later she knew what was ailing her friend."
"Congratulations you two! Your having kits!"
That night...
Honeypaw was sharing a vole with the other apprentices, when she recalled her dream. Softpaw looked at her "You ok?"
Yellowpaw shot her a glance "Is it about Kestrelheart?"
Honeypaw stiffened and got up "You know...I'm not hungry anymore" as she walked away she saw Smokepaw cuff Yellowpaw's ears "Don't talk about that mousebrain!"
Honeypaw sighed as she ducked into the Medicine den. Hopefully there wouldn't be anymore patients like Kestrelheart.
Suddenly a scream broke through the cool night air.
"Rippleshine! She's barely breathing!"
Gah...sorry for yet another short chapter. I suck at writing long ones...and tips? Also, I will be taking 4 Ocs for Moth's kits!
Reviewer Question: If Honeypaw wasn't a medicine cat, who do you think would be her mate?
