CHAPTER 8
Nightpaw POV
Blossomfall had moved into the nursery at sunhigh after toadstep heard that she was due in a few days. He had gone up to her and demanded that she move to the nursery both for her safety and their kit's. She had laughed and agreed saying that she needed a rest.
I couldn't wait! The kits would be a very welcome addition to the clan. Because now coralkit is the only kit in the clan and she seems lonely. She's still only three moons old and deserves some other kits to play with.
Thinking about that makes me worry. I've only been in training for a day with jay feather, and if they were born early or just anytime when he's not there, I would be the one there to handle it. Well not the ONLY one, if brightheart is in camp she can help me because she used to help out in the medicine den a lot.
Well, I had better finish sorting the plants that I gathered.
Jayfeather had taken me out into the territory today since I already knew most of the herbs and their uses from when I was a kit. So we went out and gathered poppy seeds, juniper berries and dock. After we returned he had gone on some errand and had yet to return, so it was up to me to put them away. As I sorted my mind drifted to my sisters. I mean, this morning we woke up as kits, care free and crazy, and now we were separated and sad.
But before I could do anything els Brightheart ran in.
Blossomfall is kitting! She yelled
I know what to do but I still need your help. She added
I don't think she's ever done it alone but how could I help? I don't know what to do but I followed anyways.
The birth had gone smoothly and Blossomfall was now the proud mother of three kits. Two toms and a she cat, they were yet to be named but I think she was waiting till toadstep got back from a hunting patrol.
Just after the last kit was born Jayfeather had walked into camp.
As soon as he heard what happened he had told Brightheart that she should have gone to get him not try to do it herself. She replied saying that i had helped so in fact she hadnt been alone. He then stormed off bidding me follow him.
" you did we'll for your first time Nightpaw." Said Jayfeather
"Uh... Thanks" I replied. Why was he only ever nice to me?
" Alright, we need some borage leaves for her milk." He said
I go to get a few leaves and we head back to the nursery at the same time toadstep rushes in. When we enter he is sitting by her and she is telling him the names she picked.
" The tortoiseshell she kit is Mallowkit." She said
" the black and white Tom that looks like you is Swiftkit. And the dark grey Tom is Sootkit." She said looking up at him.
"Those are beautiful names and they fit perfectly." He said
She then noticed that we were here.
"These are to help with your milk." I said as I sat the leaves down in front of her.
She said thanks and quickly ate the bitter leaves. As we got back to the medicine den Jayfeather turned to me. "Why don't you sort all the herbs while I go gather some more borage." He said
"Alright"
He left and Briarlight came in and began to help me.
Glitterpaw POV
I watched three of my sisters walk out of the camp for what very well could be the last time. Daisy started to cry and Spiderleg led her back into the nursery. I started to follow but Goldenpaw stopped me.
"I'm sorry about..." I quickly cut him off.
" Your not sorry!" I yelled " You have absolutely NO idea how I feel right now!"
I stormed off out of the entrance leaving him stunned in the middle of camp.
As I made my way toward the smell of the lake I realized I had done it again. I always let my feelings and temper get the best of me. He was only trying to help! I wanted to say sorry but he might never talk to me again.
SNAP!
I froze. Straining my ears for any other noises.
"Glitterpaw come back!" I heard Goldpaw yell.
My heart leaped, maybe he would forgive me for my outburst.
He pushed through the last of the ferns that led to where I was sitting, and before he could talk I leapt to my feet.
" I'm so sorry Goldpaw!" I nearly yelled. " I wasn't thinking and I let my temper get the best of me and I hope you'll forgive me!"
He smiled
" Glitterpaw I came out here to tell you that, no, I don't know how you feel but I hope we can still be friends." He said
" Of coarse Goldpaw, now lets hunt before we go back." I said, now happy
We decided to have a mini contest to see who could catch the most, even though I had no training. He pointed me toward the ancient Oak and he went near the clearing by the ShadowClan border. It was late leaffall now so prey was scarce but not as bad as it would be in leafbare. I stopped walking when I sented mouse, I hadn't had a REAL training lesson with Dovewing yet but some of the younger warriors and apprentices had taught us the basics when we were kits so I thought I could catch at least something.
I got down into a hunting crouch, it wasn't perfect but it would do. I carefully moved toward the mouse, when I got close enough I pounced! It heard me first and started to run but I gave chase. I caught up to it and killed it just before it entered its hole. I looked at the mouse and squealed like a kit, in delight.
" Good catch." Said Goldpaw
"You saw that?" I asked slightly annoyed
" We'll I knew you had never been hunting before so I quickly caught a small squirrel and followed you." He said, amusement obvious in his gaze.
" You didn't think I would catch anything did you!?" I yelled
He started to laugh.
Toms are so, just so... Arrogant and rude and... Just UGH.
I picked up my mouse and ran back to camp.
As I set the mouse down on the fresh kill pile Dovewing ran up to me.
" Did you catch that by yourself?" She asked
" No, it just jumped into my jaws as I came into camp." I said sarcastically
" Sorry, I'm just not having a good day so far." I added
" It's alright Glitterpaw." Said Dovewing. " Your sisters are now in the other clans and your mother won't talk to anyone. You have the right to be a little angry. Why don't we go see the territory, Officialy."
As we left the camp I could barely contain my excitement.
" This is the WindClan border." Said Dovewing
I took in and memorized their scent, as I looked across the lonely moors.
My sister lived there now, I wondered how she could stand it. It was so unlike our forest home, with its undergrowth and trees to hide in or climb.
"Alright let's go down to the lake." Said Dovewing
As we walked Dovewing looked distracted, she even tripped over a root that might have been big enough to see from StarClan.
We finally made it down to the lake edge.
"All the way over there is RiverClan." She said. "You won't be able to smell their fishy scent today though." She laughed
As we looked over toward RiverClan my vision suddenly went black, then I saw something.
A camp with a few cats walking around, kits playing near what I could only assume was the nursery, and a patrol walking in with some fish... WAIT! Fish?!
But then the vision faded.
Glitterpaw? Glitterpaw are you alright? Said Dovewing sounding worried.
I just saw... I-I don't know, a camp with cats, and fish! I said confused
Dovewing stared at me with a look of nervousness and excitement so I assumed she knew what was going on, but that didn't surprise me she had been acting weird today.
Lets get you to Jayfeather. she said
and I followed at a loss for words.
A/N
Ok if I get 2 reviews ill post another chapter before I go back to school tomorrow.
AAAAAH HOMEWORK!
Ya it sucks but that's life I'll still update as often as possible but probably not every day
I know I've said this before but things get exiting after this! They start unraveling the prophecy!
OOOH for getting to the bottom of this if you can guess what the great evil is then a cat of your choice will appear in the story ( probably as a kit first) so guess away!
BTW it's not what you would think it is... But don't OVERthink it
