So, I'm back again. Hopefully earlier than last time? Not much to say, except thanks to the ppl who keep encouraging me on this story. Also the poll is on now in my profile. Enjoy!
Spottedleaf eagerly bent over the muddy puddle, ready to test out the new piece of information she learned. She still felt slightly guilty, as Rippledance had just yelled at her for spying on her, before rudely walking away. What did the older she-cat know about this? Spottedleaf's paws flew over the puddle clumsily, while chanting the history she wanted to know. Mapleshade. Mapleshade.
The muddy surface moved, and a picture of Mapleshade hunting a bird popped up. She was translucent. Well, she did get Mapleshade, but not the history. She tried again, this time with Hawkfrost. Nope. Still him hunting in the present. She tried other cats, Sandstorm, Jayfeather, Brokenstar and even Adderpaw. None of them worked. Finally, she tried Firestar. He was pressing his pelt to Sandstorm in StarClan, watching over Squirrelflight. Spottedleaf roared in frustration and slammed her paws into the water. And then it moved. Faster and faster. She watched in awe as the ginger cat shrunk, almost, while the scenes around him whirled in colour. (Yes, I do write it the Canadian way) She saw the figures beside him. Sand coloured cats, dark brown tabbies, dark grey cats, and tortiseshells! Spottedleaf smiled in spite of herself. And then he was so small, a newborn kit. And then he was gone. She was about to turn away, before she realized something. It was still going? There was darkness. And then, the same whirlwind of strange colours. Her heart skipped a beat. The portal. He had been here?
And then, him, a sleek pale grey tom spotted with darker shades with amber eyes glowing in the dark. That was him? The images escalated quickly. One moment, there was him being pushed into the portal. And then, the next, there was blood on another cat.
"Stop!" Spottedleaf yelled out suddenly. Firestar had killed in this world? If Rippledance was here then why did she say she didn't know?
The moving stopped instantly. Surprised, Spottedleaf began to watch what had happened.
"Falconfur! Why? How?" A black she-cat cried softly, her black fur ruffled.
The grey tom seemed just as shocked. "I didn't realize he would die.."
"That proves that you were always a dark-hearted, good-for-nothing tom." A tom nearby hissed. "Killing off Aspenwing. She did nothing to you!"
A chorus of agreements nodded. The killer hesitated, his eyes darting between the others and the black she-cat.
"Push him into the portal!" Two apprentices screamed.
"Give him a chance!" The black she-cat cried.
"We've all given him too many chances, Rippledance." The tom growled again. "Back in the clans, he was like that, too, and even worse."
"You would've made a fine warrior, Rippledance," it was an elder who spoke. "If you didn't mix up with him."
Rippledance gasped. She looked back at the killer. Falconfur's hesitated again. The crowd was all bristling now.
"Get him in!" Some cat yowled. Most of them pushed the grey tom toward the lake. Others held Rippledance down, but it was unneeded. She was shocked, and unsure. And both cats stared at each other as they were seperated.
At this, Spottedleaf couldn't watch anymore. What? They were together? Firestar knew Rippledance? HE what? Killed lots of cats? And was in love with Rippledance? How? This is absurd!
More confused than ever, Spottedleaf knew of only one place to get the last bits of answers - from Rippledance herself. Standing up, she raced toward the direction she left.
And the puddle moved again. This time, it showed Rippledance pushing Falconfur into the portal.
Welp! Cliffhangerish thing? I hope to get a lot more action in here except that I need more suggestions. Plz help! And the poll too!
Thx ~ Misty
