A/N well, my computer is being very stupid right now and it's like the site is frozen, so I'm updating all of my stories! And I'll just take this moment to say, SCREW YOU COMPUTER!
Disclaimer: I own the painful knowledge of the tragic series of warriors… But I still don't own it.
(((((()))))) Coalpaw slowly backed out of the cave, her fur bristling, and her scarlet eyes wide with fear and wonder. The badger did not move but watched her with glittering eyes, as though laughing.
"Midnight not hurt kit." The badger rasped, wheezing out laughter. Indignation now mingled with fear and Coalpaw took a step forward and growled,
"Coalpaw not- I mean, I'm not a kit!" Midnight glared at her, then relaxed.
"Midnight no care. She have message for you." She grumbled. Coalpaw forced her raised hackles to fall and she crept forward, scared and puzzled.
"What have you to tell me? And who it from?" she whispered.
Midnight shook herself, as though she was suddenly out of a tangled knot of roots.
"Midnight come from far land with message of Starclan." Coalpaw burst out laughing. She rolled on the ground, tickled, and raking the air with her outstretched claws.
Midnight stiffened, looking like she wouldn't or couldn't laugh.
"Starclan… Wouldn't…. Talk to…. Me!" Coalpaw laughed, falling over with mirth. Tears sprang from her eyes as she continued to laugh. Finally, she was gasping for air.
"Starclan send Midnight message!" Midnight roared, and Coalpaw fell silent. "Starclan tell you 'Darkness lingers over earth. But under it where a truly forgotten horror truly lives.' That what they say." Midnight sniffed.
"Wait, what?" Coalpaw gasped. Midnight shrugged as if not willing to say anything, then trotted off.
"Midnight must prepare for the message of midnight!" the old badger gave a flick of her tail and tottered off.
Seething with frustration, Coalpaw dug up the earth around her. What in the world-?
"Wow thanks, Starclan! You could give me a hint!" Coalpaw yowled in anger.
She rolled her eyes and stalked back to snake rocks. She peered cautiously into the rocks opening, and then squirmed into a crevice.
She looked up and froze.
"Um Starclan? Never mind about that hint." She laughed softly. "I know what your message means now!"
A/N mwahaha! Now I give you a cliffy! Coalpaw knows what the danger is, but do you? MWALALALALALALALALA! Hehe, you can whack me over the side of the head now if you want to.
