Nightpaw watched as DawnClan left. Her head was spinning with thoughts. What happened? Wheres Mistpaw? Why did Pinepaw ask me to meet him? Why did I say yes? So many questions, so little time.
"Nightpaw, time to go!" Cloudfoot prodded her with a paw. She could hear Rushstar talking to Rockblaze, one of StormClan's warriors.
"DawnClan has gone too far! Starting a fight during the truce! They shall pay!" Rockblaze wore the expression of someone trying to stay awake during a boring speech. He nodded without taking anything in. The sun started to rise by the time the cats entered the camp. When Nightpaw and Marshpaw entered their den, Lillypaw was there. She was a little older them-them, yet she still acted like a kit.
"Welcome back! So, what happened?" Nightpaw and Marshpaw looked at each other.
"You tell her." said Nightpaw " I'm going to bed." Nightpaw flopped down and closed her eyes. She woke in a dark patch of land. The air felt hot and sticky. Even the grass felt unnatural. Where am I? Cats wove through the trees, their eyes glowing. One of them was walking up to her. Her fur heald stars, yet something told her that she should run. Maybe it was the fact that her fur was still stained with silver blood or the fact that cats fled from her as she passed them. She sat in front of Nightpaw.
"Where am I?" Nightpaw asked.
"Oh little one, you are in the dark forest."
"W-What?" The elders told kits tales about cats who were sent to the dark forest because they committed crimes against the clans. "W-W am I here?"
"Why, to learn of course."
"Learn what?"
"Things your clan would never even dream of teaching you. You could be more powerful than Rushstar. You could be everything they think you can't be, do things they never thought you could do."
"I-I can't! I-I would get in t-trouble!" Nightpaw took a step back.
" your clanmates don't respect you. Beetlefang doesn't, Your brother sertendly doesn't, and your father couldn't care less. This is your chance to do something great. Your name will be known by all the clans. All you have to do is trust me."
"If I listen to you, I'll lose everything."
"Ah, but your meeting with your little friend Pinepaw, aren't you?"
"Y-Yes, but t-thats d-different."
"Point is, your risking everything anyway, so what's the harm in doing this."
"Please-"
"I will give you time to think. Now, why you go back to your clan. I expect they're waiting for you." the she-cat stood up and walked toward the trees.
"Wait!" called Nightpaw. "What's your name?"
The she-cat looked over her shoulder.
"My name is Crookedswirl."
"My name's Nightpaw!"
"Well, goodbye Nightpaw." Nightpaw blinked. She was back in her den. What a weird dream. Well, time to get up. Besides, I get to see Pinepaw today! And with that, she left.
