Okay, the last chaper before Ravenpaw reunties with Graystripe! When that happens, I'll probaly still switch between Graystripe and Ravenpaw's POV. This one is in Graystripe's.
Graystripe's head was spinnig with the information he had just learned. He said goodbye to Dawn and was taken back to his den.
So this kittypet was the key to escape from this prison? Or was there another 'dawn' that Silverstream had been referring to? Whatever it was, Graystripe knew that he would have to be nice to Dawn until StarClan's chosen cat, whoever it was, came for him. He hoped that cat would come soon.
He curled up in his den and prepared for sleep. He paws prickled as he remembered that Silverstream had visitied him only four days ago. He closed his eyes and could faitly smeel her sweet scent. But then, the scent of another cat came.
Graystripe opened his eyes and thought at first that the cat infront of him was Silverstream. She had the smae coat and the same beauty. But she was younger.
"Father," said the cat.
"Feathertail!" cried Graystripe hoarsly. His daughter had come! "I never should have let you go." he whispered.
"You had to father." said Feathertail sternly, brushing against Graystripe. "It was my destiny."
"I know." sighed Graystripe. "But I've missed you, and Stormfur-"
"I've missed you too." cut in Feathertail. "And I have watched over Stormfur. His kits are beatiful." she said. The thought of Stormfur being a father made him happy. Perhaps his on would be alright. "Like my destiny, it was Stormfur's dentiny to stay with the tripe, like it is yours to return to ThunderClan and continue beng their deputy." she purred.
"The second I get there, I'll ask Firestar." promised Graystripe. He hoped that Firestar would let him be the deputy.
"Ask him what? Firestar believes in you. He knows you will return. He has yet to appoint a new deputy." mewoed Feathertail.
"But, it will be a difficult journey to cross the mountains." said Graystripe.
"But Stormfur will help you." she replied mischieviously. "He has all of the tribe on the watch for you. He will welcome you with the tribe. You can stay there for a few days, but you must continue."
"Of course I will continue, but-" Graystripe blinked in embarresment. "Stomrfur has the entire tribe looking for me?" he asked.
Feathertail smiled. "He loves you father, I so do I." Graystripe nuzzled his daughter.
"I must go." she said after a few moments. She licked him on the cheek. "I will watch over you father." she promised. "And Stormfur."
"Goodbye, Feathertail." he said. She disappeared into the stars.
Graystripe sighed and put his head in his paws, thinking about what Feathertail had said. He suddently remembered that he had forgotten to ask her about StarClan's chosen cat!
"Feathertail, where is he?" he whipered in sorrow, not expecting an answer.
But he got one.
"He is here."
A little short, I know. But there wasn;t that much I could put in this chapter, other than Feathertail. Ravenpaw next. Review like crazy!
