~Chapter 9~
Her eyes snapped open suddenly as a huge gust of wind blew at her. She tried to stand up, but ended up being blown side ways and back onto her side. Looking around, she did not see the yellow walls or the white carpeting of her two-legs' living room. There were no khaki colored couches or that thing two-legs call a TV. Actually, there was nothing. She was in a place where there is nothing.
Only the musty smell of decaying plants and leaf mold told her she was outdoors. The feel of dead leaves crunching beneath her paws and the accasional patch of semi-dry grass made her wonder how she got there. A roaring wind blew again and Jade was blown into a nearby bush, the bush had large slick dark green leaves that did not get caught in her pelt as she was rolled into it. Jade whipped her head around not just out of wonder but out of fright, this place was odd. Her dreams or nightmares never took her to a forest, and a very windy one at that.
"Jade." her mother's voice whispered.
Jade looked around in search for her mother. "Where are you?" Jade asked when she saw nothing of the dark windy forest.
"Jade listen to me." her mother meowed.
This time her mother's voice was blown away by the wind. Jade tried to stand up but couldn't, the bush somehow grew more and branches were tangled around her. "Yes Mother, I'll listen. But where are you?" she called.
"A cat of courage, of friendliness, one who has suffered. The one who's strength is of a hawk, will help you." her mother murmured.
Then a misty image of a brown and orange tom appeared before her, he looked down at her smileing. Jade gasped, she recognized that cat. It-It was Hawk, the cat that tried to kill her, the cat she tried to kill. He was supposed to help her? In her confusion and shock, Hawk's misty image blew away and a new voice was heard.
"Jade."
The voice sounded distant but near. It made the forest darken as it repeated her name. "Jade, wake up."
"Jade!"
She then was plunged into darkness, only to open her eyes and sit up quickly. Around her bright sunlight coated the inside of her home, leaving very few shadows. Because of how bright it is she had to squint at first, but then as her eyes adjusted she was looking into Felix's eyes. He looked worried but then when he saw that she was awake, he stepped back with a smile.
"You were muttering something in your sleep." Felix meowed. "I thought for sure you were in a terrible nightmare."
"I was...well sort of." Jade replied, licking one paw.
Felix tilted his head to the side in confusion. "If so, then why were you suddenly smileing when you woke up? You never smile after a nightmare."
"Well this one finally gave me an answer to help me find another answer." Jade said.
As she was explaining the dream, they walked outside into the back yard. Jade sort of smiled, sort of frowned as she told it. The dream was both simple and confusing in her eyes so she had mixed emotions about it. Felix smiled as she told him, but it quickly evaporated as soon as she spoke of Hawk, the cat that tried to kill her.
"You're supposed to work with someone who tried to kill you?" Felix growled.
Jade nodded with a calm expression. "But we were forced into a fight of life or death, death of our apponent so you wouldn't be a prisoner. But the dream said he has suffered, so I think he should have a second chance. All we have to do if help him escape."
"Then what?" Felix demanded.
The two cats sat at the center of the yard, Jade with a rather calm expression and Felix with an outraged, confused expression. Felix's outrage was toward Hawk, who had tried to kill Jade. While his confusion was toward why she was automatically agreeing to working with Hawk. But Felix stayed quiet even if he just wanted Jade to ignore the dream and everything, since he had been the one to encourage her to listen to the dreams.
"Then what?" Felix repeated.
Jade shrugged. "Sorry for ignoring your question, but truthfully I don't know. I was thinking we could all think of a plan once we free Hawk."
"Jade, what if he's the wrong cat?" Felix asked.
"I know he's the right cat." she argued.
Felix shook his head. "Jade we also need to look at what is called common sense. He could be a cold blooded killer that is also the wrong cat."
She narrowed her eyes, it was obvious her friend was trying to talk some common sense into her. But because of all her bizzare dreaming she was not giving in so easily. If Felix wouldn't help, Jade would just o do it on her own. Jade opened her mouth to say so, when she stopped as Felix's eyes widened.
"Jade, run." Felix hissed.
Jade shook her head and turned around. A large white tom stood behind her, claws unsheathed and with two other cats on either side. A scarred brown shecat on his left, and even more scarred orange tabby tom on his right. The shecat and orange tabby tom seperated from the white tom and by the sound of Felix's hushed hiss they went straight toward him.
"Well at least we get two prisoners, Lightningclaw." the shecat meowed, looking at the white tom.
"Yes, and Brambletail will be pleased." Lightningclaw growled.
Jade growled and unsheathed her claws, ready to fight. But then Lightningclaw raised a paw and brought it down on her head, knocking her to the ground. Blood oozed from the gash left behind, which got Felix angry. Felix spun around to face the shecat and tried to slash at her, only to get struck as well, by both cats. Jade watched as her best friend fell to the ground, blood coming from two gashes in his head. Both his eyes were closed, so she tried to get up to see if he was alright everything faded.
. . .
Jade did not wake up for quite some time and when she did she and Felix were both in a dark enclosed den. The walls were overgrown brambles and the floor was dry soil, silver light slanted in through the entrance. The pale gray shecat at first thought of exiting but then saw Lightningclaw and the brown shecat from yesturday guarding it. This made her instead turn her attention to her still unconscious friend and the two other cats that were in the small den with them.
One of them being, Hawk. "Where are we?"
"We are a good, day's travel away from two-leg place." Hawk said.
A shadowy black tomcat sat by Hawk, with a long cut on his face dried blood crusted over it and he looked at her curiously. "Why would they capture kittypets?" he wondered out loud, his voice a low rumble.
"She was the one I was talking about." Hawk replied.
Jade looked confused, so she sat up and only when she did, did the shadowy tom see the injuries from the fight she had received. Though the tom did not speak he looked as if he were thinking. Jade turned toward Felix who had no injuries except the one on his head, which had her worried deeply for her friend.
"Felix." Jade meowed and padded the two steps over to him. "Felix wake up please, you have to meet Hawk."
Hawk turned to the shadowy cat. "Let me guess, you're thinking of something new for it."
"Yes, now that we hae two kittypets." he replied.
