Short update I know, but I figured that I might want to post something.
Disclaimer: 'let's go!' turns around and smacks into wall
As the clan walked along the shore line Squirrelflight fell in stride with her younger sister. "So what are you planning?" She asked as if it was a casual conversation.
Mysticpaw almost tripped over her paws. "What?" She asked making sure she heard her sister correctly.
"You heard me, what are you planning?" She repeated.
"I'm not planning on anything, unless going to my den and falling asleep count," Mysticpaw snapped.
"I know that look I used to get that same look on my face whenever I was planning something so don't think I don't know," she mewed simply.
" I still don't know what you are talking about I'm just going to camp," Mysticpaw mewed confidently.
"We aren't stupid you know," this time Mysticpaw did fall over her paws and landed on her back staring straight up at Duskpaw.
"I'm not sure what you are talking about and I don't think asking for the next three suns will make a difference." Mysticpaw said in a harsh tone as she got up.
"Then you won't mind if me and Duskpaw walk on either side of you then," Squirrelflight reasoned as both her and Duskpaw took positions beside her.
"Uh, I do mind I like my personal space," she hissed. When Squirrelflight and Duskpaw didn't take notice of her out burst she just simply stopped walking. Both cats mimicked her every motion perfectly.
"Do you guys practice that?" Mysticpaw asked irritably getting to her paws once more.
"Actually no... but maybe we should," Squirrelflight answered looking over at Duskpaw.
His whiskers twitched in amusement. "Yah maybe we should," he mewed.
Mysticpaw lashed her tail in annoyance, this was not what she needed right now. Hoping that her friend would have some helpful input she glanced at her silver pelted friend. Silverpaw mearly flicked her tail in a way that meant she couldn't help. Mysticpaw glared at Silverpaw.
"So she's in on it too?" Duskpaw asked quietly but casually.
Mysticpaw twitched her tail she was stuck, and in the end she knew they would find out. Looking up from the ground her paws had been walking on she saw the Thunderclan border. The time to sneak away was here.
"Yah she is now come on," with a worried glace at the senior warriors she bounded over the stream that served as a border and ran along it's edge. Squirrelflight watched as Silverpaw fell into step behind her best friend. Looking over toward the still Duskpaw she nodded and fled after her younger sister.
Mysticpaw was lead by what she thought to be pure instinct running over the bramble bushes and fallen branches with such grace you could have sworn that she was flying. Her friends followed not nearly as quick and graceful as their friend.
Mysticpaw just stopped suddenly as if she had run into an invisible wall. She realized that she was in a small fern inclosed moonlit clearing. A few moments later she heard the rustle of some ferns and out stepped her weary friends.
At the sight of Mysticpaw sitting straight up and stalk still they stopped and watched. Mysticpaw's eyes were fixed on a small patch of ferns that seemed to be bathed in a brighter moonlight than the others.
"What do you think this is about?" Duskpaw asked Squirrelflight. "You'll see," Silverpaw answered even though the question wasn't aimed at her.
Every cat was amazed as the ferns parted and a snow white cat seemed to flow out of them. Mysticpaw bowed her head slightly and remained silent.
"I knew you would come, and I see you have brought some friends," Snowstar mewed her voice flowing as smoothly as water lapped at the shore of the lake.
"Yes I hope that won't cause problems, but may I ask how did you know I would come?" Mysticpaw asked her misty eyes looked curiously up at the young leader.
"Of course Duskpaw, Silverpaw, and Squirrelflight are welcome among my presence, now I would like you to meet two cats."
As her voice faded two cats stepped out from the ferns. One was a blue-gray tom with darker gray flecks and blueish-gray eyes to match. "I am pleased to meet you young Mysticpaw, I am Seastep deputy of MysticClan."
"And I am Shimmergate the seer of MysticClan, I am the one who has been watching you since the day you were born." Spoke the other cat a long haired gray she-cat with silver paws and bright blue eyes.
"What do you think Shimmergate? Is she a seer?" Snowstar asked. Shimmergate look intently at Mysticpaw, "no the mystic pelt have laid out another path fort his young cat."
"Well it's alright you have Lightpaw as your apprentice so everything is all right there." Snowstar mewed.
"What about medicine cat?" Seastep offered.
"Not that either, though it would have been nice, Graystone is getting on in years." Shimmergate said.
"Who are you?" Duskpaw finally had worked up the courage to say something.
"Mysticpaw has not told you?" Snowstar asked, she seemed slightly surprised.
"No, she has only spoken to young Silverpaw until now, they followed her here." Shimmergate said mostly to Snowstar.
"There is something you might want to know about Mysticpaw though Snowstar, she has two," Shimmergate said to her leader.
"Two, well isn't that interesting, wasn't the last cat to have two Violetleaf?" Snowstar asked.
Seastep sighed. "Yes she was," he said in a quiet mew.
"She died for the clan Seastep, she died for you," Shimmergate was looking at her clan mate with sympathetic eyes.
"Seastep why don't you go back to the camp, have Graystone give you a few poppy seeds." Snowstar mewed gently nudging him with her muzzle.
Seastep looked over at Mysticpaw and company with a meaningful glance before disappearing before their eyes.
"Where did he go?" Duskpaw asked his fur bristling.
"Why back to the clan of course," Snowstar said. For some reason Mysticpaw wasn't affected by the disappearance of the clan deputy.
Snowstar shifted her gaze to the moon, "we can't talk much longer, but when you find them come here at midnight," Snowstar looked to all four cats. "Watch over her, she'll need friends, StarClan has set out a difficult path for her, but she must follow it." as a shadow from the tree fell upon Snowstar she vanished from view. As if the shadow was a hungry monster and it had swallowed her.
"Find what?" Squirrelflight asked turning to Mysticpaw.
"I have no idea but come on we need to get back." Mysticpaw turned and slithered through the ferns without waiting to see if anyone was following her.
