Chapter 26

Moons seemed to fly by as me and Leafpaw (now called Leaffang) grew closer. I missed having him in the apprentice den though. I now slept near Skypaw and Pinepaw who had grown larger and were harder to share a nest with. I was close to becoming a warrior and happy about it. Now that both Dawncloud and Frostwing had their kits the nursery was crowded and the camp was noisy.

Dawnclouds kits were Dapplekit who was a frisky tortoiseshell tom, and Geyserkit who was a mellow gray and white she-cat. Then Frostwings kits were Eaglekit who was a brown she-cat with a white underside, Glistenkit who was a gray she-cat whose pelt almost glistened in the sun, Gentlekit was a small black and white tom, and Silverkit who was a silver tom. Spottedpelt had resumed her warrior duties after her kits were made apprentices. Their mentors are Crowfur for Patchpaw and Rockstone for Crowpaw.

Walking out into the bright morning sun a gust of wind hit me almost knocking me off my paws. Lucky for me Leaffang was behind me and caught me by my scruff as I was blow off my feet. Blushing a little I thanked him. "I was wondering would you still go hunting with me if I asked." "Sure just ask." "Do you want to go hunting with me?" Nodding we darted off into the woods.

As we emerged from the fern tunnel I pounced on him and we tumbled down a nearby pond. Getting up I shook my pelt. Looking into the river I saw a Starclan cat. It started to speak to me. "Hello, I am Shadowclaw and I am Blazepaws father. Will you please tell him I have died from a rouge attack? Also that I am proud he went to live in Moonclan and not Darkclan. Darkclan was a bad clan that taught their kin to fight in cold war."As he began to fade I called out "I will and he will be happy you approved of his choice." Leaffang padded up beside me "who were you talking to?" Looking around I finally started to tell him about my powers.

"Wow, never in a million moons would I think I would ever hear that, but I do believe you. Why didn't you tell me?" all of a sudden he had a hurt look in his eyes. At a loss for words I answered him slowly "well, how and when would I have told you? I did trust you I just didn't know how to tell you." Looking at me his face was happier "Oh, ok well what do you want to do on our woods walk today?" Tilting my head I thought for a second. "We could just walk and talk I would like that." Nodding we started toward the moorlands of Fireclan. "Hey have you noticed that Glistenkit seems to watch intently whenever Spottedpelt or Snowshine use herbs? Do you think she wants to be a medicine cat?" Pausing for a moment I answered "I agree and well Spottedpelt has been rather weak lately so if she passes soon I guess Glistenkit could be a medicine cat apprentice." Nodding we walked home in silence.

3 moons pass

Leaffangs POV

As I passed the nursery I heard Glistenkit ask to go and watch the medicine cat. I lifted my paws as she ran over to the medicine cats den. I couldn't help but laugh as I headed over to the fresh kill pile. I then saw Spottedpelt head out of camp to collect herbs I guessed. Looking up at the sky I noticed rain clouds had begun to form. A small trickle of rain had begun to fall. Shaking the wetness from my nose I continued to eat my mouse. Then feeling rather tired I headed toward the warriors den and fell asleep to the sound of the rain. I remembered doing this when I slept in the apprentice den it was like a lullaby.

Spottedpelts POV

Padding out into the woods I headed toward the stream that ran through our territory. It wasn't a moving stream so you could call it a lake but to me it was a stream. Nosing around I found some Tansy, Water mint, Lavender, Juniper berries and Poppy seeds. Collecting them I placed them in a pile when I heard a splash! Then I saw three small heads thrashing wildly in the waves. Those heads were Eaglekit, Dapplekit and Silverkit. I could see Dapplekit trying to hold Eaglekit above the waves. Leaping into the cold water I swam like a Duskclan warrior. As I neared the kits I grabbed Silverkit by the scruff and ordered Eaglekit and Dapplekit to latch onto my back. As they clambered on I swam toward the shore were I saw Snowshine, Leaffang and Wavepaw waiting. Taking in a huge breath I surged forward. Reaching the shore I dropped the placed the three kits down. Laying down I knew I was headed to Starclan. Summoning Snowshine he padded over, "I couldn't have had a better apprentice…" my voice trailed off as I broke off into coughs. "As I was saying you will make an amazing medicine cat. I advise you take Glistenkit as your apprentice, she seems interested in herbs." Resting my head at Snowshines paws I whispered into the wind "Good bye." Then closed my eyes for the last time. Stepping up I followed Featherpelt and Featherheart into the sky where I could see Swiftheart and Duskbelly waiting for me. Nuzzling them as I reached them I looked down at my body. I could see Wavepaw looking back at me and Snowshine pressing his head into my soaked fur. The tree kits were huddled behind Leaffang with a terrified expression on their faces. Turning away I whispered my final good bye and followed the other cats to Starclan.

Leaffangs POV

As we walked back to camp I helped carry Spottedpelts body. Resting her down in the clearing I could see cats begin to come out and mourn for their lost clanmate. Then I heard Nightstars voice break in. "What happened?" he asked as he looked down at his lost sister. (They are brother and sister if you look back in chapter 11) Dapplekit was the one who answered "it was my fault, it was my idea to follow Spottedpelt into the woods. Then we got lost and tried to jump on the stepping stones, but we slipped and fell into the water. Then Spottedpelt came and rescued us but sacrificed her life for ours." Nightstar looked down at the young kit. "You use such bold words. That will help you later in life." Dapplekit, Eaglekit and Silverkit looked up surprised. They all thought they would be punished. "We will mourn for our dead then will Twisttail and Crowfur help bury Spottedpelt?" Nodding cats began to gather around the medicine cat. I saw Nightstar walk into the woods followed by Rainstorm. Bowing my head I began to mourn for my friend. What I didn't know was she was right beside me.

Spottedpelts POV

When I got to Starclan I had a choice to make stay on Earth and stay with my clanmates for a little while only they couldn't see me. (Except Wavepaw and Nightstar.)Or go to Starclan. I picked stay with my clan for a little while. What Leaffang didn't know was I was right beside him. Wavepaw could see and hear me. As she walked into the woods I followed her. Once we were far enough from the camp she turned to me. "Why aren't you in Starclan?" She asked confused. "I had a choice and I choose to stay here for a while." "Oh, well how long are you here?" "I don't know they didn't tell me." Glancing around I saw Wavepaw disappear within the brambles. Sitting there alone a cool breeze swept through and ruffled my fur. Shivering I thought about my decision as I curled up in a hollow log and fell into a restless sleep.

Wavepaws POV

Emerging through the brambles and into camp I went and sat by Spottedpelts body. Pressing my nose into her fur I took in her scent. No longer was I a sweet herby scent but now a cold and different scent. I stayed there till it was Moonhigh then I went to my place. I decided I would go to the hill where Leaffang and I had always gone as apprentices to gaze as Silverpelt. I walked slowly as I took in the scents and noises around me. Then I heard a twig crack. I froze and sniffed the air. It was Fireclan scent by the smell of it a young apprentice that seemed hurt. Smelling even deeper I somehow recognized the scent. The cat was Swallowpaw. "Swallowpaw why are you here?"I called out bravely. Then a new smell hit my nose it was Spottedpelts. I could see her next to me. As Swallowpaw emerged through the ferns he looked at Spottedpelts ghostly figure. "Can you see her?" I asked confused. Nodding he stammered as he spoke. "I always been able to…do this…I didn't think any other cat could." "Neither did I." I breathed. He heard me though. "Wait what other cats have this ability that you know?" "My dad Nightstar can and me, but that's all I know." "What other powers do you have?" Beginning to list them "well I can see Starclan cats around me, not get hurt in battle, hear, smell and see other cats cant, I have the powers of Starclan coursing through my veins, I know who I am fighting or who is near me, and I can see into other cat's thoughts." Nodding he told me his powers. "I have all those except the one where you can know who you are near or fighting." Nodding the questions popped into my head. "Why are you here anyway?" "I was having strange dreams that told me I had to go wave on the moon. So I thought I had to go to Moonclan and meet a cat with the word wave in her or his name." Nodding I purred "well my name is Wavepaw and I have had those same dreams only they told me a swallow will land in front of you asking for help. I didn't know what they meant so I just pushed them to the back of my mind" "well my names…" I finished his sentence for him "Swallowpaw, I know." His eyes opened wide with astonishment. "Well the dream has been fulfilled. I must go now." I said turning around. I could feel his eyes following me. Was he falling for me and was I falling for him? "No!!!! I wasn't I liked Leaffang not a Fireclan apprentice." I told myself firmly. Turning back I meowed my good bye to him as he turned and left. Looking up to the sky I noticed it was a very starry night and that the stars seemed to glow with pride. I headed over to the hill and lied down beneath Silverpelt. Not knowing it I soon drifted off to sleep.

Waking up I raced back to camp on the way I ran into Leaffang. "Wavepaw your ok!!!" his meow was filled with excitement and relief. "I am I went over to the hill where you and me gazed at Silverpelt every night." Sniffing my pelt his eyes flared. "There's Fireclan scent on you, where were you?" "Oh, that I met a small Fireclan apprentice named Swallowpaw with the same powers as me." His eyes cooled down as I told him I wasn't meeting another cat. "Oh, well you were not in camp so I got scared and came to search for you. You better get back, but first clean the scent off your pelt." Nodding I sat down and began to clean myself. Once I was down I raced back to camp.

Leaffangs POV

Shaking my head I thought to myself "should I trust her?" finally I told myself yes. Then a familiar scent filled my nose. Then I saw Spottedpelt standing in front of me. I was at a loss for words as she spoke. "I have come to tell you do not worry your future is safe Wavepaw will not fall for Swallowpaw. So I advise you trust her. She loves you more than life its self." As she began to fade I stood there with my mouth open. Closing it I raced back to camp after Wavepaw.
