Chapter 9
I slowly opened my eyes, waking to see Jayfeather right next to me by the stick. He grinned at me, releasing his herb breath in my face. I scrunched my nose disgustingly. I stood up, noticing that I hadn't been gone to long. I needed to get back so that I could hear Brambleclaws orders. "I've got to go." I murmered quietly. "Meet me here tomorrow?" Jayfeather asked as I turned around. I halted, what did he mean. Like to talk? No, I couldn't. I wanted to so badly though. I eventually talked. "Yes." I kept walking, and i knew that he was relieved.
I padded into the clearing. Brambleclaw was organizing patrols. I padded up to Lionblaze, who seemed worried. "What's wrong?" I asked worryingly. Lionblaze didn't hear though, he was too rapt in thought. What was he worried about so much. Jayfeather walked into the clearing. Lionblaze and I looked over at him. He turned his head and smiled at our direction. I think Lionblaze thought it was for him. I wasn't sure if it was for him or me though.
Lionblaze took me hunting in the forest by ancient oak. Lionblaze was still worried looking. Maybe I could go into his body without him switching. I closed my eyes and concentrated hard. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, but the vibration was a little different this time. I opened me eyes to find myself successfully in Lionblaze's body.
She could hear his voice but she couldn't feel his mouth talking. I glanced at myself. I was just walking normally. Do my powers have me act appropriately to the situation when I'm not in my body? She concentrated hard on the voices around her. There were many. All of them are Lionblazes voice. She tried to comprehend them the best she could. Firestar….fight…….2……….lives. She finally caught on to one of his sentences. Firestar only has 2 lives left now! The battle keeps repeating itself over and over again. Is Firestar going to die soon? I hope not, it's almost Leaf-bare, and we need him.
The ground shook again and I merged back into my body. A screech bellowed in the air, making her jump. Lionblaze and I dashed back to camp. I quickly picked up my mouse that I had apparently caught while I was in Lionblazes mind up as we raced back. When we got into camp I quickly set my mouse on the pile. I knew exactly where the noise was coming from. They raced to the warriors den where Ambereyes sat, screaming her head off. For a very long time, we had known she was pregnant. She refused to admit it though. She claimed that she was absolutely not expecting kits and that she found it insulting that they thought that.
The young she-cat let us bring her to the nursery. We knew that she would be having them soon. We just didn't know when. For once in Ambereyes life, she wasn't being stubborn! Leafpool, Jayfeather, and Leafpaw came in hurryingly. Leafpaw had a wad of herbs in her mouth. I decided that it would be best if I left the crowded den. I left the den quietly and swiftly.
Once everyone was sleeping, I slipped out of the camp and went over to the stick where Jayfeather had wanted me to meet him at. I rested my head by the stick and closed my eyes. I woke up in the same cave as before. There was no sign of rock. Good! I like Rock, but I wanted to talk to just Jayfeather today. I was starting to wonder if he'd forgotten. "Looking for someone?" I heard Jayfeather's voice. I turned around to see him by me. I let out a purr that ended up being louder then I expected! He looked surprised, but not in a bad way. "Well purr to you." He meowed amusingly to me. I rolled my eyes at him.
"You'll never catch me!" I teased. I darted to the other side of the cave. I could feel his paw steps dangerously close to mine. He leaped and pinned me to the ground. I couldn't get out of his grasp, because it was too strong. "I surrender!" I yelped dramatically. He released and I jumped up onto my feet. "Not bad for a medicine cat!" I teased him mischievously. We played for awhile but eventually got tired. We cuddled up and gently drifted away into sleep…..
