Hey guys! So, if you haven't guessed yet, this chapter didn't happen over that weekend. I've been busy because I've been house sitting all summer and the houses don't have Wi-Fi… I am happy I'm though! Please make sure to share your ideas with me. I will most likely find a way to make your ideas be heard! Anyways… Behold Chapter 7!
Chapter 7: The Meeting part 2
…
Heatherfall tilted her head up like she was more superior. "Well, what are we waiting for? We don't have all day…"
Echofoot, Foxtail and Ripplestream shared glances before nodding.
"Okay… How about we start by figuring out the prophecy." Echofoot suggested. She looked at the others, one at a time. They all nodded so she continued. "The first line was 'The silver circle, ruler of the night, shining with glory and light.' I was thinking of the moon."
Heatherfall nodded. "Yeah. I guess your right… The moon is a silver circle the is only out at night and makes it so that it's not completely dark!"
Foxtail nodded with a smile. "Continue the prophecy!"
Echofoot gave a small smile. "Okay. 'Approach it's might and be given the cure, to make all cats pure'…" Echofoot thought about it. Right as she was about to open her mouth to speak another cat interrupted.
"Maybe it means that we have to get as close as we can to the moon. Which would mean travelling to the peak of a mountain. Then there will be some sort of cure when we reach that point!" Ripplestream said.
Echofoot slowly nodded as if she was going through the information in her head. "That seems to make sense. The only question I have is what mountain is the one we have to go up?'
Foxtail looked around and then she gasped. "That one!" She pointed with her tail to a mountain. It did look taller than the rest…
Heatherfall nodded.
"So, we figured out that part… The last line is 'It resides where light hides. Under the cloak of black and white.' I think this is just talking about the night…" Echofoot said.
They all nodded and then a question popped up. "What now?" Ripplestream asked.
"We have to tell our leaders. I think that we will be leaving at dawn. I also have a feeling that we are going to need other cats. We will need one other cat from each clan…" Echofoot explained.
They all said words of agreement. "So, it's settled then. We leave at dawn. How about we meet here with the other cats tomorrow?" Heatherfall said.
They all nodded once more before they went off in different directions to go to their own camp and tell their leaders. Echofoot walked further into ThunderClan territory, stopping to catch a few mice and a squirrel. She took them back to the camp and set them on the top of the fresh kill pile. She walked over to the leader's den.
Before Echofoot could ask if she could come in the leader already answered her.
"You may come in Echofoot." Cinderstar said.
Echofoot pushed her way through the entrance of the den and found Cinderstar seated towards the back. She walked further in and then sat across for Cinderstar.
"So, have you guys figured it out yet?" Cinderstar asked.
"Yes. It means that if we go up to the tallest mountain peak there will be a cure but only when the moon comes out." Echofoot explained.
Cinderstar smiled. "I'm glad you guys have figured it out. Have you guys thought about what you're going to do now?"
Echofoot nodded. "We are planning to go tomorrow at dawn. We also wanted to bring another cat from each clan."
Cinderstar was silent as if she was thinking. "Yes. I agree. More cats mean more chance of survival. How about you bring Blackfall. He's strong and smart. I bet he would be of great service to you and your partners."
"Of course. I better let him know so we can both get some rest." Echofoot said.
Cinderstar smiled. "Well, I won't keep you waiting then."
Echofoot slowly backed out and went over to the fresh-kill pile. She grabbed a piece and went over to Blackfall who was next to the warrior's den, eating a vole. She sat across from him. "Hi Blackfall. I have come to tell you something extremely important."
Blackfall smiled. "What is it?"
"Cinderstar wants you to come with me and six other cats to fetch a cure." Echofoot responded.
Blackfall looked hesitant. "Why me?"
"Cinderstar said that you are strong and smart. We will need someone like you." Echofoot said.
"Okay. I'll be happy to go! When do we leave?" Blackfall asked.
"Tomorrow at dawn." She replied again.
Blackfall nodded. "Okay. We better get some rest."
As if on cue, Echofoot yawned. "Your right. See you bright and early in the morning." She walked over to the warrior's den and laid on her moss bedding and drifted into a dreamless slumber.
*The next morning*
Echofoot woke up and ran straight over to Blackfall.
"Wake up! It's time to go!" She said, shaking him.
Blackfall groaned and then opened his eyes.
"I'll meet you outside. Hurry up!" Echofoot said. As she was walking towards the entrance of the den, she noticed how few warriors there were. There was probably a bunch of them in the medicine cat den.
She walked towards the medicine cat den and immediately found Fernshine rummaging through she supplies. Echofoot walked up towards her but Fernshine didn't notice.
Echofoot cleared her throat. "I need two travelling packets."
Fernshine looked at Echofoot, almost startled. "Oh, of course." She went back into her supplies and pulled out two packets wrapped in leaves.
"Thank you." Echofoot said, then walked out. She found Blackfall by the entrance. "Here. Eat this. They're travelling herbs."
Blackfall crinkled his nose in disgust but still ate them. Echofoot did the same.
After they ate every one of the herbs, they headed out. They walked through the forest until they came to the meeting place from yesterday. Heatherfall and a white tom with green eyes were already there.
"Hi Heatherfall, this is Blackfall." Echofoot said, pointing her tail to the black cat with amber eyes. Blackfall gave a simple nodded.
Heatherfall didn't say hi. She went straight into introducing the warrior she brought. "This is Runningleaf."
Echofoot smiled. Then Foxtail, Ripplestream and two other cats appear.
The walk over to us. Ripplestream was the first one to talk. "This is Sandypool, the other RiverClan cat." Ripplestream pointed to a sand colored she cat with blue eyes. Her eyes were narrowed and she just stared. Someone has trust issues.
Foxtail spoke next. "This is Darktail, the other ShadowClan cat that will accompany us." He was a dark gray tom with amber eyes and a scar over his right eye.
He did say anything either. "The ThunderClan cat is Blackfall and the WindClan cat is Runningleaf. Now that we know everyone's names, let's go. We have to get moving to reach a safe spot by night."
And with that said, they all moved towards their destination…
Okay, I know I know! I didn't use the correct tern for some stuff but I haven't read warriors in a while but I still want to finish this story so deal with it! I hope you guys liked this and following and favoriting is all appreciated. Don't forget to comment! I will TRY to upload soon… Bye!
