Lunarpaw

I was shocked and scared, but then I realized, this must be my power.

"Firestar, I think I found my power," I mewed uncertainly.

"Yes, I think you have. So, why are you here?" Firestar replied.

Suddenly Hawktalon ran in. "Firestar, we have no catmint," she yelled, making us both jump.

"Oh no," Firestar exclaimed. After a moment he said, "Lunarpaw, you could ask the other Clans for catmint."

"I'll ask tomorrow," I said.

"But you go to the Moonpool tonight," Hawktalon said.

"WHAT!" I screamed, suddenly remembering. "I can't leave Jayfeather when he is like this!"

I bolted out of the den before Firestar could argue. My paws carried me to the medicine den, to find Jayfeather groggily going through the herbs.

"Jayfeather! Why didn't you tell me that I had to go tonight?" I asked.

"Because I didn't want you to worry," he replied, staggering back to his nest and coughing.

I looked down at my paws. I felt horrible. I had to go to the moonpool and leave my mentor here in this state.

"Lunarpaw, you okay?" Jayfeather asked.

"I'm just worried about leaving you here," I admitted.

"I'll be fine," he said, trying to reassure me. I couldn't believe him. "Leafpool and Brightheart will look after me."

"Leafpool!" I exclaimed. I turned and ran out of the medicine den. I spotted Leafpool sharing a mouse with Squirrelflight. "Leafpool, I am leaving for the Moonpool."

"Why are you telling me?" she asked, confused.

"Jayfeather is sick," I said. "You'll see, but I need you to take care of him while I'm gone."

Leafpool shook her head. "I can't Lunarpaw; I'm no longer a medicine cat."

I shoved my muzzle in her face, so close our whiskers were almost touching. "I don't care," I growled. "Just do it." I turned around and left before she could argue.

Now I had to find Hawktalon. I looked around and spotted her talking to Foxleap. "Hey Hawktalon," I called, as I walked over.

"Hey Lunarpaw, what's up?"

"The sky," I joked. Then serious, "I need you to come to the Moonpool with me."

Hawktalon

"The Moonpool!" Foxleap and I said at the same time.

Lunarpaw nodded. "Come on."

I exchanged a confused glance with Foxleap and padded after Lunarpaw. "How's Jayfeather going?" I attempted to get Lunarpaw talking.

"Good," was all Lunarpaw said. I gave in and walked with Lunarpaw in silence.

"Hey Lunarpaw," Flametail called from behind us. "How come Hawkpaw is with you? Where's Jayfeather?"

"Woah, slow down Flametail," Littlecloud scolded. "I'm sure Lunarpaw can explain." He gave her a look which meant she had no other choice.

"Well, Jayfeather is ill," Lunarpaw began. "Hawkpaw needs to come with me."

"Hawktalon now," I added happily.

"But why does Hawktalon have to come with you?" Flametail asked.

"I was going to ask you all at the Moonpool," Lunarpaw said, and continued walking.

I chatted with Flametail the rest of the way to the Moonpool. He was actually a pretty good cat.

Lunarpaw walked down to the Moonpool. She sat on the edge and waited for the other medicine cats to arrive. Soon three cats walked down the path to the Moonpool.

"Good you're all here," Lunarpaw said, as the three cats sat in front of her. "You're probably wondering why Hawktalon is here. Well Jayfeather is sick and we're all out of catmint."

The medicine cats gasped. It was rare when a medicine cat got sick, but even then they didn't catch greencough. "I think we may have some," Kestrelflight said.

"Thanks, we need as much as we can get," Lunarpaw said. "That's why Hawktalon is here."

"Let's drink from the Moonpool before we run out of time," Littlecloud said.

The medicine cats nodded and lapped a mouthful of the starry water. They fell asleep. I sat and waited. After a while, I realized that I was thirsty. Without thinking, I walked over to the Moonpool and had a long drink. I lay my head on my paws and fell into a deep sleep.


We're both in Japanese! :D

Yeah yeah, review.

Before we're caught,

Peace out! Lunarwing and Hawktalon!
