Chapter 10, nightmare
Ravenflight opened her eyes. Firestar was waking up. He backed away from the Moonstone, and its light vanished.
Firestar hurried out of the den, his mind set with grim determination. The red cat rushed into the night sky with Ravenflight right after him.
He hurried across the Thunderpath and into WindClan territory. Ravenflight panted after him.
He ran into Fourtrees, then dashed through ThunderClan territory. He plunged into ThunderClan camp.
It was midnight. Firestar smiled at the stars, then walked into his den. "Goodnight Ravenflight," he mewed, then looked at her, "See you…later."
Ravenflight stared at him for a while before walking over to the fresh-kill pile. Nothing had been left for her. She growled with hunger and annoyance.
She went into the den and curled up.
It was very cold. Ravenflight whished Squirreltalon slept in here, so they could curl up to keep each other warm. She balled herself into a tiny ball and slept.
She had a dream. She was in the ThunderClan camp. Everyone was laughing. The laughter rang in her ears, and it made Ravenflight want to laugh to. Suddenly Whiteflower started choking. Her eyes grew wide. Shrewtail patted her on the back. Whiteflower coughed and spluttered. Suddenly blood came pouring from her mouth and nose. It came out of her eyes too. Shrewtail started coughing and bringing up blood until all the cats were. Ravenflight gave a terrified yowl and sprang up, but her legs wouldn't move.
She yowled and screeched. Then she saw Shadowkit, and she was filled with fear. She couldn't cry out, though. She ran away, away from the fearsome kit behind her, and fell into abyss.
Her eyes sprang open. She was in a room, a silver room. The walls were blank and shiny. The room was empty, except for Ravenflight and a pile of bedding. Suddenly the room began to move, and Ravenflight stood up, stretching out one paw, as the walls went farther and farther away, stretching until Ravenflight was lost in the silver walls, which were hundreds of miles away, still stretching into the darkness and fear.
Ravenflight woke up, her jaw clamped closed against her top jaw. She looked around. Everything was dark. Ravenflight felt fear overwhelm her. What was out there? Was the world just stretching away from her, into her fear?
She whimpered with terror. Why couldn't the sun just come up? Why couldn't the camp just wake up, and the normal happy bustle begin?
She waited, and nothing happened. The cats around seemed like lumps of death, holding there own frightening secrets.
Where are you, StarClan? She wondered. She closed her eyes, and didn't move.
Ravenflight raised her head. She looked around. The sun was up. No one else was in the den. This gave Ravenflight a jolt of fear.
She ran into the sunlight, where the cats were up and talking. She rolled on her back, happy for the sun and other cats.
She ran happily to the fresh-kill pile, and pulled a chaffinch from it. She ate it with vigor, savoring every bite.
Then she looked around at the camp and was glad.
