Thank you all for reading my story. :) Please review.
Hollyleaf is cool- I already have to story planned out so I can't suddenly have cats jump into the story. Sorry.
Shadowfur1017- Thanks for the review. I am glad you liked the ending.
Falling...
Falling...
Falling...
How long has she been falling? Featherpaw did not know.
She let out a loud scream as she suddenly felt herself hit something hard.
Featherpaw could here a voice calling for her as she layed there, eyes closed so she would not have to see the darkness around her. "Featherpaw!" The voice yelled. "Featherpaw! Wake up!" The voice yelled in her ear.
Wake up? Featherpaw wondered and just then noticed that she was once again in her nest in the apprentice den. Safe. The nightmare had ended.
"W-What?" Featherpaw opened her eyes and sat up quickly. She gazed around the den. All the apprentices where stareing at her with wide eyes, even Driftpaw was.
"Featherpaw? A-are you okay?" Patchpaw asked. Her fur was fluffed up as she stared at Featherpaw with wide bright blue eyes.
"Yea..." Featherpaw stood up and shook out her fur. "Did... Did I do something while I was asleep?"
"Yea." Stripepaw mewed, nodding.
"You screamed. Like you where in a lot of pain." Windpaw added from behind his brother.
"Is everything okay in here?" A voice asked behind Featherpaw, talking quickly and filled with worry.
"Yes Squirrelflight." Patchpaw told the deputy.
"Sorry. I just had a bad dream." Featherpaw mewed turning around. She was feeling hot under her pelt as she answered Squirrelflight.
"Right..." Squirrelflight said. "Well anyways, Windpaw and Stripepaw you are both needed on patroles." She turned and left.
Windpaw sighed, clearly unhappy.
"Just get up." Stripepaw told his brother then led the way out of the den with Windpaw following.
Featherpaw watched them leave then turned back to the other apprentices.
"Want to get something to eat?" Featherpaw suggested, the dream stayed in her mind and she wanted to do something to get rid of it.
"Sure." Whitepaw agreed, standing up and stretching. Patchpaw nodded, standing as well.
"Want to come too Driftpaw?" Featherpaw asked the new apprentice.
"Uhh... sure." Driftpaw nodded. "It you want me to."
Featherpaw followed Whitepaw as he led the way out of the den. Patchpaw followed Featherpaw, and Driftpaw came out of the apprentice den after her.
Featherpaw padded around two playing kits by the fresh kill pile. They where Blossomkit and Spotkit. Blossomkit was a torti-shelled she-cat and Spotkit was a cream colored she-cat with a orange spot on her side. They where Berrynose's and Poppyfrost's kits.
Featherpaw stepped closer to the fresh kill pile and grabed a mouse. She settled down and started to eat it. The dream kept replaying in her mind.
"The feather must find the new evil that grows every day. Find it and kill the evil soul or all the clans will be lost in blood." Bluestar's whispered to her then vanished.
Who is Bluestar and how did she know me? What does she want with me?
"Featherpaw? Are you okay?" A voice snapped her from her thoughts.
Featherpaw looked up to see Mossflight and Snowstep, her parents. The other apprentices where talking with Driftpaw by the apprentice den with abandoned prey at their paws or where out on patrole.
"Yea. I am fine." Featherpaw mewed.
"You look tired." Snowstep noted and then chose a bird from the fresh kill pile. "Is something wrong?"
"I just had a bad dream last night." Featherpaw explained. She remembered telling the nightmares she had to her mother after waking up. Mossflight had always known how to make her feel better.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Mossflight asked in a soft voice, sitting down next to her and curling her white and gray tail over her paws.
"Fine." Featherpaw sighed, knowing that if she didn't it would worry Mossflight.
Snowstep sat down on the other side of Mossflight and they shared the bird while they listened to Featherpaw's story.
Featherpaw explained what happened. She told them about Bluestar, about the puzzling words she said, about the island with all the dead cats and blood, the eyes that stared at her, and then the falling... falling... falling...
"I think you should talk to Redfur. Or Jayfeather." Mossflight suggested. She seemed to understand what Featherpaw was talking about, somehow.
Did she go through something like this? Featherpaw wondered but instead asked "Why?"
"Because Bluestar was leader before Firestar. So she is a Starclan cat. It might be important." Snowstep spoke up for the first time since the story started.
"I agree." Mossflight mewed, staring at Featherpaw with her blue eyes. They had something in them that Featherpaw did not understand. "You need to get this figured out before it is too late."
Featherpaw looked at her paws. She did not want everyone to know. She did not want to be different. She had no idea what to do or what Starclan had planned for her.
She just nodded and mewed "Okay." But inside she wanted to say 'no.' She just wanted to be normal and train as a warrior, not worry about what some dead cat has to say.
Please review! :)
