Bloodclaw's Pov
"How horrible can Graypaw be at fighting!? I mean, seriously! Even a clan cat would think that he was a mouse with no claws! A kit can do better than him!" I told Antfur.
Graypaw's Pov
Bloodclaw can't hide anything from me. He has no clue about what powers I have. He will never find out. And he will never get away with this. Maybe he brainwashed me to be a little too cruel... And by the way, I was just pretending to be a horrible fighter. He'll definitely put his guard down…
Stonefire's Pov
I sat quietly in my nest, sulking. My son, Graypaw is never happy anymore. And if he ever did smile, it was always a smug smile, not a friendly smile. I remember the night when something strange happened to him.
Flashback
I walked into the apprentice's den, to check on Graypaw, only to see a bright light surrounding him. After the bright light disappeared, Graypaw's eyes fluttered open and he let out a gasp of pain. His eyes glittered under the moonlight, his eye color changed from blue to red for 5 seconds, and he was covered with blood. He lay still in his nest, and for the rest of the night, his eyes never closed. Not even once. I'm still not sure what happened that night, but I what I do know is that something terrifyingly horrible happened. From that day on, he never ever was friendly towards anyone anymore. Not even me. Nor Silverpaw, or even his mentor, Leopardspot.
I shuddered. Just imagine if Graypaw turned evil. He didn't, right?
3rd person
"BREEZESTAR!" Sparkleleaf's yowl woke everyone in Thunderclan. "What is it, Sparkleleaf? Was it that important that you had to wake me up from my beauty sleep?" He asked, obviously not wanting to listen to whatever she was going to say.
"Breezestar, there's a new prophecy!
A medicine cat and apprentice, one from each clan,
They must go west, and find the endless salt water,
So that one may join to help Thunder, River, Wind, and Shadow,
You must go, for you will be destroyed if you don't." Sparkleleaf announced.
"A-a prophecy!" Breezestar exclaimed.
Sparkleleaf rolled her eyes. "Yes, a prophecy, you nitwit," she mewed.
Breezestar raised his tail for silence. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey please approach the High Rock," Breezestar mewled. "As you can see, Sparkleleaf has just announced a prophecy."
Many cats muttered comments, such as "Yeah, she woke us up," and "Uh, did you not hear how loud she was?"
Breezestar cleared his throat for attention. "You may also know that tonight there is a gathering. We shall announce the words of the prophecy so that all four clans may hear. Blackstripe, Graypaw, Silverpaw, Stonefire, Snowpaw, Leopardspot … etc…. may come to the following gathering," he said, as the clan left to go back to sleep or go on dawn patrol.
Then, he beckoned Leopardspot to come meet him in his den. After they both settled down, Breezestar started speaking. "Leopardspot, as you know, I am getting closer and closer to my last life. I want you to make sure that I don't die. I had a dream, and it said that the Dark Forest will come back soon. If I die, Thunderclan could possibly be drowned by so much sorrow that they might not be prepared for the upcoming battle. If I do die, please, Leopardspot, don't even hold a vigil for me. You must prepare. Thunderclan cannot lose any more warriors. You are excused," he told her.
Later at the gathering…
With all the cats staring at him and pressuring her, Foxstar opened her mouth to start talking. But before she could say anything, Breezestar interrupted her. "Before any leader says anything, I have something important to announce. My medicine cat, Sparkleleaf, has received a prophecy from Starclan.
A medicine cat and apprentice, one from each clan,
They must go west, and find the endless salt water,
So that one may join to help Thunder, River, Wind, and Shadow,
You must go, for you will be destroyed forever if you don't."
All the cats stared at each other in astonishment. Was it really true that there was another prophecy? Foxstar opened her mouth to start speaking again.
"Since we must go, I will send my medicine cat, Tawnyfur, and one of my apprentices, Snakepaw," the
Shadowclan leader announced.
"Thunderclan will send their medicine cat apprentice, Silverpaw. Since we only have one apprentice who has actually started battle training, it must be Graypaw," Breezestar admitted.
Foxstar froze. Was he really that mouse-brained to reveal Thunderclan secrets to other clans? Doesn't he know that they may attack?
Her thoughts were interrupted by Ravenstar. "Windclan shall send their strongest apprentice, Goldenpaw, and our medicine cat apprentice, Swiftpaw," Ravenstar added to their conversation.
"Since everybody has already chosen, Riverclan shall send Icepaw, their medicine cat apprentice," Froststar finished.
"No, Froststar, you do not understand," Breezestar started, but Froststar interrupted him. "Riverclan cannot afford to lose any more warriors, so we shall send a medicine cat apprentice," Froststar said stubbornly.
Breezestar rolled his eyes. "Froststar, you must send an apprentice and a medicine cat. If you do not, your whole clan will die," Breezestar explained.
Froststar grunted. "Fine, Streampaw shall accompany him," she muttered. Breezestar gave a nod of approval.
"Anyways, Riverclan has-" Lightning flashed and it started raining.
"This gathering has ended!" Breezestar yowled. "The cats that have been chosen to go west shall meet here tomorrow at the Great Oak!"
Back at camp…
Silverpaw ran up to Graypaw. "Um… so… about the… um… quest…"
Graypaw blinked. "What about it?" "Um… I wanted to ask if… never mind," Silverpaw mewed as she hurried towards her den. She had recently overheard the deputy's conversation with the leader, and she had started to suspect that Graypaw was training with the Dark Forest.
Graypaw's Pov
So is this what it is all about? She thinks that I am training with the Dark Forest? Well, if she does, then she should keep her thoughts to herself. Well, she did… but still! And if you haven't figured out yet, I can hear other's thoughts. Even Twolegs, or prey, or a fox… Whatever you can think of.
A/N BUSTED! Graypaw's power is revealed! Snowpaw, Firepaw, Stonepaw, Silverpaw and Mistypaw also have special powers too. Some of them will be revealed soon. Some others… are going to be activated by… Special things that will happen.
