Chp.6 "Rising Storm"
The stars filled in Silverpelt. One star glistened and shone even brighter. The reflection of Silverpelt shined even brighter in the water of the river.
Mistypaw was waiting on Berrypaw to meet her by the border, tonight.
She then heard voices whispering to her. A warm pelt brushed against her flank. Save the Clans. I've put faith in you. Darkness is overturning.
The warm pelt then disappeared, rejoining Starclan. Mistypaw let out a long sigh.
Berrypaw then came hurling towards her! He was yowling for help.
Mistypaw then ran up to him. "What's wrong!?" cried Mistypaw as she ran beside him. "Nevermind that! Run!" Berrypaw yowled.
Mistypaw let confusion cloud her mind. What had gotten Berrypaw so shaken up? Was he afraid of getting caught? This wasn't their first time meeting, they had done that alot now. So what could it be?
A growl then came closer towards the two kits. It was a cat! It was covered in mud, so Mistypaw couldn't make out the scent. It had a faint scent of what smelled like a Win...
Mistypaw was then scratched down her flank by the cat. It spat in pure rage at the two! Mistypaw unsheathed her claws, ready for a battle.
"You! You think I don't know about what happened do ya, smart whiskers!?" yowled the cat as it gave a swift paw at the young cat.
Mistypaw rolled over, tripping the muddy cat. "I don't even know you!" she spat back.
Berrypaw then gave the cat a scratch on its hind leg. It yowled in pain. It then threw Mistypaw off, and clawed at the future Riverclan warrior.
Berrypaw ducked and lashed at the cat's belly. Mistypaw then hopped onto its back, holding it down by its scruff.
Finish it! Kill it!
No! Choose the path of a true pure-hearted warrior, let it go. Let it live!
The cat hissed and tried to scramble up, trying to catch its breath.
Berrypaw stood there, looking the intruder in the eye. Mistypaw then let go. The cat sent her one last glare that stung through her pelt, and then bounded off.
Mistypaw wasn't severely injured, but she got some deserved rest.
You made the right choice, young one.
Mistypaw didn't know who to turn to, so she escaped camp that night. She rushed through the thorn tunnel.
Maybe she could find out some information. Little did she know that she was being followed by others that had the strangest dreams...
She bounded to the river that flowed between Riverclan and Thunderclan. She was surprised to find Berrypaw on the other side.
She trotted up to him and touched noses with him.
"Can't sleep either?" he questioned with a glint in his eyes that Mistypaw couldn't quite make out.
"No." she replied after a few heartbeats later. "I've had the weirdest dreams." he went on. "I was chasing a mouse into the woods and was brought into Silverpelt, and then..."
The grass around them began to rustle. Berrypaw's fur bristled, ready to defend the Thunderclan she-cat.
Mistypaw unsheathed her claws, ready for the same intruder to come and attack the two.
"Mistypaw, what're you doing here...with a rival Clan cat!?" demanded Tigerpaw, ready to defend his sister if she needed him.
"We both couldn't sleep, we've been haunted by these mysterious dreams." explained Mistypaw.
"So have we! Both me and Tigerpaw have had weird dreams about Starclan! What does it mean?" squealed Willowpaw.
Tigerpaw nodded.
You may tell them, it would be best to let them know the truth.
Mistypaw then told them about the three others along with another accompanying her down the starlit path.
"But, I just don't understand who the three are...and who's the other." she admitted.
Are you that blind? Look in front of you. They could be your answer to your problem...
"Yes, Firestar." she yelped to herself.
The three then gave her a questioning look. She explained how Firestar had been guiding her and who the three were.
"Wow, we're in a prophecy!'' meowed Berrypaw.
The three, along with Mistypaw danced around happily.
"But, who's the other?'' questioned Tigerpaw
"We'll find out when Starclan are ready for us to know." mewed Willowpaw.
"Yes, when they're ready."
