Hey guys! So, I know it has been a while but I am back. My Wi-Fi has been acting up recently. *sigh* Anyways, enjoy the story!
Honeystar sat in her den, her tail wrapped neatly around her paws as she looked at her medicine cat and sister, Rosedusk. "You said you thought you had a prophecy from StarClan?" She asked, her voice echoing around her in the small cave hidden in the rock that was her den. Her sister was shaking with excitement or fear, she couldn't exactly tell, but she nodded her head.
Rosedusk's jaws parted to say something, but they quickly shut once more. Honeystar knew that her sister was slightly insecure about her abilities as a medicine cat, but she wouldn't let on to other cats that weren't their brother or Honeystar herself, she wouldn't let it show to anyone else. Rosedusk quickly regained the regal kind of composure she had before. Her eyes fixed her leader with a determined stare. "I think so. I am not certain, but I am sure that it was StarClan that spoke to me, who else could it be?" She replied to her sister with an embarrassed dip of her head. She was a medicine cat, she should know if she did have a prophecy, right?
Honeystar let a small sigh escape her lips. "Well, do you remember it well enough to recite it?" She asked. Rosedusk nodded uncertainly.
"Prey will be plagued, deaths will be many, Pelican will suffer before finding a solution, thanks to a small paw." Rosedusk breathed out, and for a split second the voices of their ancestors seemed to spread around the two sisters. Honeystar's fur lifted and a small shiver passed through the she-cat's sleek coat.
"Thank you. Go get some rest, I need some time to think." She meowed as she dismissed her sister with a wave of her tail. Rosedusk nodded and trotted out, almost looking relieved as if a weight lifted off of her shoulders as soon as she stepped paw out of the small cavern. Honeystar gave a long sigh. Sleep didn't come too well for either she-cat's that night, as the prophecy plagued their minds.
Honeystar blinked open her green eyes as she heard some excited squeaking outside. She smiled as she pushed out of her den and looked down the tumble of rocks to see the familiar shapes of Pebblekit and Crabkit. Her eyes twinkled in amusement as she saw Crabkit hurl himself at his unsuspecting sister, who gave a surprised squeak and darted towards a cluster of rocks. Her little paws scrabbling to gain traction on the sand.
"They sure are an pawful." She heard a voice meow beside her. She gave a small jump and faced the cat that had sneaked up and sat beside her unnoticed.
"Silverstalk! Don't sneak up on me like that." She meowed with a small sigh of relief that it was only her. Silverstalk was a beautiful silver she-cat; her yellow eyes sparkled with amusement at the leader's relieved expression.
"Sorry Honeystar." She meowed, not sounding too sorry. "Just thought I might want to remind you that their apprentice ceremony is today." She gestured towards Crabkit and Pebblekit with a kind expression on her face.
Honeystar smiled. Her Clan was growing quickly, and she couldn't be any prouder. "Of course I remembered." She meowed. "I will start the ceremony when the patrols return." Silverstalk gave a small dip of her head and trotted off. Honeystar chuckled and walked towards the fresh-kill pile.
She picked up a small crappie that was laying close to the top. She plucked it off and gracefully moved towards her favorite spot to eat, a small scraggly bush that offered some protection from the brutal sun. She quickly sat down and swiped a gentle paw across her fish, knocking off the sand from the night earlier. She took a bite out of the succulent meat and the flavor exploded in her mouth. She licked her lips and started to go in for another bite when she noticed three cats slip into camp. She smiled as she recognized her deputy, Cedarglow, his apprentice, Newtpaw, and a young warrior, Hazelspark. She saw as Cedarglow's eyes landed on her. He dismissed his patrol with a wave of his tail and trotted towards her.
"Honeystar." He greeted the leader with a respectful dip of his head. His eyes sparkled in amusement as he saw the scales on her face, which she quickly swiped off with her paw.
"Cedarglow." She meowed to her friend since kithood. "How is Newtpaw's training?" She asked as she looked at the young tabby tom, who was pawing at a pelican feather.
Cedarglow gave a small roll of his shoulders as he settled down at her side. "Oh, he's improving. Slowly." He replied.
"Well, at least he is improving." She returned as she gave a small chuckle. She gave a content smile, knowing that if she died the Clan would be in good paws with Cedarglow. Her eyes turned to Pebblekit and Crabkit, who were both still tussling in the clearing. A shriek suddenly erupted into the air, a shadow falling across the ground. She jumped to her paws, her eyes wide with fear...
Cliffhangers am I right? I hope you guys enjoyed! I know I suck at prophecies no need to tell me. Also, disclaimer, I do not own Warrior Cat's, I own these characters and this Clan however.
