She human again, on the lakeshore, walking slowly, her bare feet pressing in and making shallow footprints on the wet sand. The lake was glimmering, like it had been the day she had been changed but instead of the red dusk the sky was dark except the shimmering stars above her head. Everything was strangly peaceful as she looked up at silverpelt. She gazed haphazardly and distractedly down at her hands, her green eyes taking in the fact that they were indeed hands not paws anymore. Was shed dead, had she lost her dream world full of adventure? Is this what had happened she turned back? It worried her deeply to be like this again, she missed her calico form suddenly and willed it to come back, it didn't. She quivered and shook her hand violently silvery tears streaming down her cheeks the ever want to go back to her cat-form that wouldn't come.
She fell to her knees, still shaking and crying yet, all was peaceful. Come to think of it there was no rustling bushes or birds chirping as there always was in Windclan territory. She looked up, and the tears stopped, she was not dead and she but, this was not real either. She tried to remember the past events but, found herself searching blankness, nothingness. It was all blurred.
A yowl came up out of nowhere in the direction she knew that hid Windclan camp from view. She was on her feet in an instant her eyes wide and focused, crouched over a bit in battle mode. She listened intently and became increasingly aware of the rageful yowling of cats attacking. Before she even understood or knew what she was doing she was running full speed toward the sounds her eyes intently focused on the hidden camp.
As she reached the gorge she slowed down unsure if this was a such a good idea after all but, kept running toward her clanmates refusing to let her form discourage her from fighting alongside them, forgetting the thought she had had earlier about this all being fake.
As she neared the drop the familiar shape of Tallstar came into view, perched along the edge watching the battle scene. She slowed to a stop as she reached him, panting. He turned to face her. "Greetings." He said simply before turning back to watch.
"Uh, hello." She mumbled turning her eyes to watch the bloody scene a gasp of horror escaping her mouth.
"I always wish I could fight with them, and help them but, I can't." Whispered the cat sadly, his head drooping.
"Am I dead?" She blurted out the words before she could thinks as the past events rushed back to her mind.
"No," He whispered quietly almost enviously, "Just dreaming."
"Is-is this REAL?" She whimperd as she watched one of the Windclan cat's ears get shredded.
Tallstar nodded nonchalantly but, didn't turn his attention from the battle. She gulped and tried to avert her eyes but, found them locked on the attack. "You did well," he said simply "Thunderclan came to help them."
She turned towards the dead cat in awe wondering how he knew that but, said nothing knowing from how the clan always joked about how Starclan was quite fond of the mysteries and riddles that surround them that he would just answer "I have my ways" no, she was sure that was the answer. She heard rustling in the bushes behind her and spun around the face the noise. A gray tom sat talking to a yellowy she-cat that was obviously upset with him with all the hissing she could hear.
"Ignore them." Tallstar's voice broke into her thoughts and she jumped to attention away from the two other cats.
As soon as she thought the black and white tom wasn't looking she turned her head slightly to so she could see them a little out of the corner of her eyes.
"Ignore them," This time the it wasn't a warning but, a thin hiss and she immediately redirected her attention, "You are dreaming like this to remind you what you really are," He paused for a moment. "A cat, by the way you stumble I know you believe you are twoleg but, that is not what you are now. So tell me how does it feel to be twoleg?"
"Wrong," She answered hesitantly, "strange," She looked down at her hands.
"Exactly, remember what I told you when we first met?"
"uh-huh, your heart beats of a cat." She said.
He nodded contently and his form dispersed.
