Follow the north star… The star of life…

I tossed and turned in my nest. I could not sleep whatsoever, for an obvious reason.

What is the star of life!? And how come I'm prophesized, and not someone strong like Wingwhisker of Swallowstrike?

I was busy with thoughts almost all night. However, late, I finally sank into deep sleep.

I was in a clearing. I was surrounded by trees. I felt calm and peaceful. The lake had the soft sound of rushing water, and leaves blew in the wind. I closed my eyes for a few heartbeats. When I opened them, a light brown tabby was sitting next to me. The tom was Reedpelt. Not a word was spoken. I was calm, and I felt peace and un-awareness flood over me. A voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Amberpaw. Reedpelt." I opened my eyes. Firestar was sitting in front of me. Next to him were Leafpool and Squirrelflight. I'd heard stories about them. A light grey tabby tom with striking blue eyes sat by Leafpool. Could it be Jayfeather? Why were all of these cats here?

Firestar opened his mouth to speak. "Well, you are all probably wondering why you're here."

Jayfeather snorted. "You interrupted my dream. I was so close to getting this huge rabbit." Leafpool signed. "Go on." She meowed.

"Well, here we have two young cats. Amberpaw and Reedpelt are part of something big. You see, we all have something in common, and that's that we were part of prophesies. Obvoiusly, Dovewing and Lionblaze are still alive. There have been so many cats prophesized, and now its time for two new cats to take our place." His warm glowing eyes met mine. "You both must follow the north star, to retrieve the star of life." He whispered. I wanted to object, but my mouth made no noise. Instead, I heard giggles.

"Ha ha ha!"

The voice woke me up. I was still stunned and dazed. I forced an eye open. The apprentices were giggling.

They interrupted my dream! No!

I faced Fogpaw. "Why were you so loud!?" I hissed.

"Geez! So now you're the boss of us?" He smirked.

I lashed my tail and padded out of the den with a large yawn.

I needed Reedpelt. I looked up at the sky. It was still dark. I let my senses guide me to the warrior's den, and I poked my head in. I was met with two green eyes. Reedpelt was awake.

"Hey." I whispered.

"Hey." He grinned at me. My pelt grew hot.

I snapped out of it. "So… We're prophesized? My gosh, what is the star of life?" He meowed.

"I know just as much as you do, so… I have no idea." I meowed.

"Well, so we are prophesized and we need the star of life. And Firestar told me in a dream we needed it soon." He paused and thought for a moment. "So when should we leave?"

We have to leave!?

In my mind though, I knew we had to find the star. Whatever it was…

"I say we wait until morning and see if Tansygaze knows what the star of life is." I meowed. He nodded.

"And we leave tomorrow night...?" I began. "Yes." He meowed.

Something bright touched my paw, but I didn't feel it. I jumped with a yelp.

Reedpelt rolled his eyes. "That was a sunbeam you mouse-brain." He purred softly. "Come on now, let's go back to the den. We'll talk later."

I nodded and trudged to the den, exhausted.

Leafpaw was waiting inside. The others were asleep.
"I saw you two." She growled. "I don't know what you're up to, but I can assure you, I will talk to Applestar now, and have him banish you. Look at what you did to Fogpaw!" She hissed.

Oh no!

The tom was breathing quickly and in shallow breaths. There were mushed up berries in his mouth.

Those are deathberries! She's pinning it on me!

Leafpaw raised a yowl of alert. The whole clan would surely hear her!

Without another word, she whisked out with her head and tail held high.

Oh Great Starclan! No! We have to leave! Now!

Hi guys! I am SO sorry that this chapter took so long to come out. School is starting for me, and I've had lots of trouble keeping everything under control. Also, I have been distracted because right now I'm writing a novel with a friend, and its taking lots of time. I'm pretty busy, and I'm a VERY, VERY young author in the middle of two stories. I'll have chapters up ASAP when I have time. Thank you so much!
