Hello dear 'Dapple's Quest' readers.


Ivypaw's POV

Ivypaw's ears pricked up at the word, "Spiked Cavern'. She knew something was in there, as she had a history with the Tribe. She looked at Dove, whose eyes lit up. "Sunteller, it's Ivy that Covers Stone" she meowed. Dapplebird stared at Ivypaw.

Creekpaw patted Ivypaw's shoulder. "Are you a, well, was a Tribe cat?" she asked, her blue eyes lighting up. Ivypaw nodded. "Yep, I was a To-Be Prey Hunter with Dove, and Eagle was my mentor. Although, Sunteller, did Shiningteller pass to the Tribe of Endless Hunting?" she asked.

Sunteller shook her head. "No, she ran away" she meowed. "Well, Shiningteller was a little over it when Thunder Behind Dark Clouds tried to murder her" she meowed. Ivypaw smiled as Eagle padded to her.

"I nearly forgot it was you, Ivypaw. I suppose you're not staying" he meowed. Ivypaw shook her head and looked at Dapplebird and Wolfclaw. "I belong with them and MountainClan" she meowed. She stared at the great waterfall.

"I remember this" she meowed, gazing at this. She shook her head. "We really shouldn't stay. I know that..." she started.

Creekpaw's POV

As Ivypaw began to speak, Creekpaw noticed a flash of fear and concern, for Sunteller or for MountainClan. Sunteller silenced her with a sharp look and smiled warmly at Dapplebird. "Please, make yourselves at home' she meowed.

"Ivypaw, I must speak with you, at the Spiked Cavern" meowed Sunteller. Ivypaw froze, and Creekpaw held back so she could talk with Ivypaw. "Why are you frightening, Ivypaw? Sunteller is really very nice" she soothed.

"I can't tell you. At moon-high tonight, come to the Spiked Caver" she meowed, her voice shaking with fear. Creekpaw nodded. "I sware" she vowed, looking deeply into Ivypaw's eyes.

Creekpaw nodded and walked away. She stared at the clouds, slowly covering the sun. "A storm is coming" announced Cranefeather.

Creekpaw flicked her tail as a droplet dropped on her fur. She licked it up before many drops splashed on the cold rock. "Run" cried Dove. Creekpaw sprinted towards the cave, covered with moss.

The cave looked alight, full of bright ginger and white cats padding around. She stared at Dove, Eagle and Sunteller, who padded into the cave.

Dove ushered the Clan inside. She padded to Creekpaw and Ivypaw. "Follow me" she meowed. Creekpaw and Ivypaw exchanged a glance before heading towards Dove's den.

It was roomy, until she said the other to-bes slept in here too. Creepaw nestled inside a bed and started to drift into sleep.

When Creekpaw awoke, the world was covered with glittering stars. "StarClan" she whispered, her voice echoing through the gentle breeze. "StarClan isn't your main worry, Creekpaw, it's your friend Ivypaw" meowed a sweet, melodic voice.

A beautiful brown tabby and white she-cat padded in front of her. "You know that. Ivypaw needs you. Go to the Spiked Cavern with her. Your destiny will find you" she meowed softly. Creekpaw opened her mouth and shut it closed.

"Ivypaw...is in trouble? Sunteller is taking her there, is that a problem?" she asked. The she-cat purred. "Those questions will reveal too much. I'm Leafstar, the first leader of Modern SkyClan" she meowed, introducing herself.

"Please, tell me. Why is this cave so important? How can I find my destiny there? And...why will Sunteller lead Ivypaw into danger? Is Shiningteller still alive? What's in the cave?" she asked, her eyes pleading with hope.

Leafstar rested her tail on Creekpaw's shoulders. "That is yet to come. You ask too many questions, Creekpaw. That's good, because you're interested. Just remember this. The bear and the badger are helpful allies, and you new Clan can help too. The Tribe must move away, but the mountains stay, forever" she meowed.

Leafstar drifted away, her whole body melting away, and her bright eyes were like lights, heading into the large gorge close by.

"Oh StarClan" meowed Creekpaw as she jolted out of her slumber. "Are you okay, Creekpaw?" asked Swiftpaw, awakening from his deep sleep. The storm still raged outside, just as Cranefeather predicted.

"I...never mind" she meowed. Dove was also awake, grooming herself clean. Ivypaw was still sleeping soundly, her chest rising and falling softly. "She's so...beautiful when she sleeps, right?" asked Swiftpaw. "I guess" mewed Dove, who finished grooming herself.

She poked her head out of the den. "Early evening, must've slept in. Never mind, Eagle and your mentors will take you guys out for night training probaly" she meowed.


Alright, SwiftxIvy on the show. I love this plot, and you must wait...forever to find it out.

Ivypaw: No way. There's something bad happening to me, I can feel it.

Creekpaw: And she's my best friend. Why don't you just kick...

Me: NO! Don't spoil the surprise! That's coming up.

Creekpaw *grumbles*

Me: Anyway, hope I update soon. Thanks Darky and Foxy, you're my favourite reviewers.
