Winged

by sugarygranola

When two cats from each Clan find out they are related, they bond together, meeting every two nights by the lake. As their meetings continue, they uncover secrets from their parents past- and their powers. They find they have the power of super strength and flight. They soon realize that they were given powers for one reason- to save the Clans from an approaching danger.

4. Chapter 3 - Spottedpelt and Dapplesong

Hey guys! Another Winged chapter here, and with UPDATES! So, I give a shoutout tooo... *drum roll* Snowsong of SnowClan! She was my first reviewer/commenter on "Raining Cloud's Always Make A Pool" and "Winged"! And for all of this, her character has earned a spot in the "Winged" series! Her character is Spottedpelt, so... GO SPOTTEDPELT!

Now, lets sit back and read the chapter, k?

Winged: Chapter 3:

The air was drafty as Spottedpaw and Willowshine padded through the forest. "Not much farther, young Spottedpaw." Willowshine said, as if reading the she-cat's thoughts. Spottedpaw perked up and nodded.

The smell of stone and cats mingled in her nose, as she breathed in the scent. Barkface, Kestrelflight, and Littlecloud were already there, waiting beside the stony path. Barkface dipped his head to Willowshine. "Greetings, Willowshine, Spottedpaw. Leafpool and Jaypaw seem to be running late."

The bushes burst open. "No, we're here now," Leafpool said, panting. "One of our queens was having a bit of trouble." Littlecloud nodded. "Then lets head to the Moonpool. Better late than never, eh?" Willowshine glanced at Spottedpaw, her gaze filled with pride.

As they neared the Moonpool, she heard Jaypaw whispering to Leafpool. She angled her ears to hear their conversation. "Do you think StarClan will tell us more about those cats?" Leafpool shrugged. "Maybe. Jaypaw," She whispered quietly. "Please don't walk in anyone's dreams tonight. You need to have your own dream, since I am giving you your full name."

Spottedpaw's ears burned with anger. She wouldn't be a full medicine cat until another moon! She found herself right in front of the Moonpool. She glanced at Leafpool, hoping she would speak quickly. "Before we share tongues with StarClan," She started. "I would like to give Jaypaw his full name."

The gray cat held his chin high. "StarClan, I bring before you a worthy apprentice. Please accept him. He is loyal, wise and learned his medicine's quickly." She turned to Jaypaw. "Jaypaw, step forward." He did so.

"By the powers of StarClan, I give you your full name. From this moment on, you shall be known as Jayfeather. ThunderClan welcomes you as a full medicine cat." "Jayfeather! Jayfeather! Jayfeather!" The medicine cats called. Even Spottedpaw called his name. All the cats started to lay down.

"Wait!" Willowshine said, with a flick of her tail. "I would also like to have my apprentice's ceremony, too." A surge of happiness shot through Spottedpaw. "Go ahead," Barkface said, dipping his head. Willowshine stared at the stars as she spoke. "StarClan, I have brought forth to you an apprentice. She has learned the medicine cat ways, and has become a loyal RiverClan cat." She gazed at me.

"Spottedpaw, step forward." I obeyed, puffing out my chest. "By the powers of StarClan, I give you your full name. From this moment on, you shall be known as Spottedpelt. RiverClan welcomes you as a full Clan cat, and a loyal Medicine Cat." "Spottedpelt! Spottedpelt! Spottedpelt!" The Medicine Cats yowled. "Now, let us share tongues with StarClan." Barkface rasped. The six cats laid around the pool, lapping from it.

Spottedpelt felt herself shoot into instant dreams. She was in front of a leopard-colored she-cat, who was specked with gray, but still held her youth. "Welcome, young Spottedpelt. You may not remember me, but I was RiverClan's leader once before. I died when you were a small kit." She paused. "I am Leopardstar, and I have brought a prophecy to you." Spottedpelt couldn't speak. She was held to the ground, staring at Leopardstar. "There will be eight, who come with flight, and protect the four." Spottedpelt surged with questions. "Who are the eight? What do you mean?"

Leopardstar shook her head. "You will learn soon, young one. All mysteries cannot be revealed so early." Anger surged through her. "Why not? Are you afraid?" She challenged. Leopardstar purred, as if Spottedpelt were a kit. "No, we are not afraid. You must uncover these secrets on your own. Farewell, Spottedpelt."

The Leopard she-cat faded, and Spottedpelt was soon back at the Moonpool. None of the medicine cats spoke as they drifted back to their own clans. Willowshine didn't even ask Spottedpelt about her dream. Then they were back at camp. It was midnight, and they slumped into their nests, tiredly.

DAY 2:

Spottedpelt leaped out of the Medicine Cave, and picked a carp off the fresh-kill pile. She glanced at the apprentices den, to see her sister, Dapplepaw. Dapplepaw bounced over to her sister. "Hi, Spottedpaw," She mewed shyly, like she always did. Spottedpelt shook her head. "I'm Spottedpelt now." Dapplepaw nodded. "Sorry." Spottedpelt invited her to help eat the carp, and she did so. "When is your warrior ceremony?" She asked. Dapplepaw's eyes widened. "Oh, my! I had forgotten! Its today!" What seemed like heartbeats for Dapplepaw, Mistystar was already on the high rock. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here beneath the high rock!" She called. All the clan-mates did so, peering out of their dens, and gathering below.

"I bring us together for a special time in a cats life - the making of a new warrior!" The cats yowled, agreeing. "Reedwhisker, has Dapplepaw learned the ways of the warrior code, and has she become a loyal RiverClan cat?" He dipped his head. "She has." "Step forward, Dapplepaw." Dapplepaw, shaking with nervousness, did so. "Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do," She mewed quietly. "Then, by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. From this moment on, you shall be known as Dapplesong. RiverClan welcomes you as a full warrior." "Dapplesong! Dapplesong! Dapplesong!" The cats cheered, Spottedpelt loudest of them all. "Dapplesong will sit vigil tonight in honor of our ancestors."
