Every good warriors fanfic needs a prophecy, right?
Goldenpaw raced to keep up as Honeystar sprinted through WindClan's territory. They were lucky enough not to meet any patrols, but still the tortoiseshell leader was running like a cat of Leopardclan.
Highstones was getting closer and closer. Goldenpaw was getting exhausted. Surely they didn't have to run to Mothermouth!
When they reached the giant cave, Honeystar didn't glance behind her to show not to follow her. Goldenpaw quickly scented a vole, and stalked quietly to her prey. She pounced. The vole scrambled away, but she batted it with one paw and took its life. She beckoned her sisters with her tail to come eat it with her. The vole was gone in a matter of moments.
There was awkward silence for a long time. The moon was moving across the sky, and soon Honeystar would need to come out soon. There was a yowl, and Honeystar bounded out of Highstones. She looked terrified, and fell down to the fround.
Rainfoot licked her head to comfort her, and mewed, "You look as if you saw Viperstar return from the dead!" She must have realized what she said, because she suddenly turned away. Ravenwing had flattened his ears, but only Goldenpaw saw this.
"We… we must go home. I need to speak to Feathersong and Pinewhisker." Honeystar panted. Ravenwing helped her stand and they hobbled back to their territory.
As Highstones shrank behind them, Honeystar was gazing at Goldenpaw, terror still in her eyes. Goldenpaw met her eyes, and saw disbelief, fear, and… hatred?
When they reached the ThunderClan camp, Honeystar slipped into the medicine cat clearing. Goldenpaw was frightened about what Honeystar must have seen. She could tell the prophecy was about her, or at least Honeystar thought so. Goldenpaw crouched low on the ground, listening to the conversation.
"StarClan spoke to me. They gave me a prophecy. On the golden day, its star will be crushed, and its place will be filled with blood." Came Honeystar's voice.
Pinewhisker gasped. Feathersong reasoned, "Goldenpaw! Maybe that's what the golden day means."
Honeystar whispered, "Its star will be crushed. That must be me. It means I'm going to join StarClan."
"Well, you are on your last life." mewed Feathersong. "You really haven't been cautious about helping your clanmates."
"Hey! Losing a life of a cat is much worse than losing a ninth of myself!" Honeystar defended herself.
"All I can say about this prophecy is that it can mean nothing good." Pinewhisker mewed, frightened. "And I think it might even mean that Goldenpaw will kill you."
Goldenpaw refused to hear any more. She ran from her hiding place and into her den. She couldn't make sense of all her thoughts, and she was miserable before she could finally go to sleep.
Well, what do you think of the prophecy? Next chapter will be… happy for RainfootxRavenwing shippers. Teehee.
