My eyes focused on the sound of the singing cats. "Poppypaw. The stars wish you" Before she was able to hear the rest the crying voice of Jaypaw came along. His voice was full of fear and worry for…Her. Why was he worrying about her? Then she remembered that she had a fever back in the Thunderclan den. "Poppypaw!" He screamed hurrying to catch up with the tortoiseshell she-cat. Her body turned to meet his gray figure. [IJaypaw…[/I Out of all the cats to meet in this half of the forest he was the one to come. How could this be a dream if he was here and looking over here? I sniffed the air trying to buy some time with him. Like always I acted like some mousebrain around him and screwed up my words. "I've never been to this part of the forest before." Taking a pause my mossy hues traveled up to the sky. "It doesn't smell like home. Do you know where we are?"

Looking straight into his eyes I saw panic and distress. He was worried about me. Smilling at the look in his jay blue eyes she padded towards the voices again. The other apprentice padded after her as if he could see for himself. Biting my tongue I held in the laughter at how he fumbled around on all four feet. He looked like a kit again just flying his limbs all around the place. "Yes." I heard him whisper softly. Not replying to his reply out of fear I pinned my ears back. He saw things here in…Whatever this place was. Though I didn't tell him of my observing, but instead acted stupid again. Why did I always have to act mousebrain with him around me? Was it like some sort of Jaypaw alert thing? My green pools flashed back to look at him. Now she had totally forgotten all about the first part of her dream with that Windclan warrior, and only focused on this half. She'd remember later when the time came back.

"It's strange," The half tabby mewed to her clanmate. "Whatever herbs you gave me must have worked, because I don't feel sick anymore." That much was true. Her pelt shone like the stars themselves as she padded through the clearing and her brilliant eyes glowed more than normal. Starclan was touching her very soul and she hadn't even noticed it. Right now she was the most beautiful thing here, but seeing as there were no live cats here, no one could admire her beauty. Maybe when she got back to the medicine cat den these features would come with her. Jaypaw padded after her wordlessly as she continued. Always a listener. She smiled at the thought of him listening to this story. He'd definitely enjoy that one "The trees are so tall and leafy, and the undergrowth is thicker than anything." I purred at the surrounding. Why was this place so glorious? Did it hold a special value? Of course, it had to in order to be here. Smelling the air again I felt that prey in here as well. Very rich in prey indeed. I almost purred. "Can you smell all the scents of prey? It's like greenleaf here!" She squealed in delight. Poppypaw felt so stupid around him.

"We've got to go back." The fray tom hissed. I turned to look at him. Those eyes were on him again. Fulled with concern and fear for me…Only me. I felt so free suddenly like I could do anything with him right there to worry and fear for me. Giggling at the thought my eyes reflected the forest. "But it's so beautiful here." I persisted just to get a reaction. Smiling I carried on in my way. Like usual he padded right after me like a dog. The trees were beginning to open to something. What could it be? Excitement itched at her paws. "You shouldn't be here." The medicine tom hissed. He seemed so different here in this place called whatever. It was like some sort of dream being here with him, and how much reaction I got out of him. Then the ground fell out from under me and I felt like I was in the air. Looking down I found myself a step over a hole. For Starclan's sake! Her tail instantly lashed out in front of Jaypaw in order to stop him from walking right on in. "Stop!" I gasped in shock. "There's a drop in front of us." Poppypaw explained quickly so he wouldn't think of her as a mousebrain. There were so many cats at the bottom of the hole. Pelts shone like Starclan but none of them were as handsome as a shining light gray tom standing right now to a she-cat. But he vanished under a pool of water.

"There's a pool at the bottom," I breathed in disbelief. The song they had been singing was my death. How could they? "There are cats all around it…" My eyes found the gray tom again. His eyes were looking straight at her with such a fierce emotion she couldn't explain it. Who was he? "It's Starclan, isn't it? Does that mean I'm dead?" I felt my breathing almost stop. The only thing connecting me to the living was Jaypaw standing by my stand. Thank you, Jaypaw. My voice to speak was gone for now. He said nothing for a while before I asked again. "Am I dead?" More urgently than the last time. This time he was faster to reply in my voice. "Not yet." His tone calmed me down quite a bit. I wasn't dead to the world. I would still be able to fly by myself before dying. Suddenly a milky voice came out of no where. "Coming here with her was very brave." Murmured this new cat. The smell of herbs covered her whole body so she must have been a medicine cat and there was a faint scent of Thunderclan on her so…A Thunderclanner.

"I promised her mother I'd keep her safe," Jaypaw told this medicine cat. A sudden relief flooded my whole body when he said that. My mother told him to keep me safe. When I wake up from this dream you'll be the very first one I will talk to mother. Then my attention went to the other tortoiseshell feline. My eyes clouded with confusion. I wanted to know who she was. ""Who are you?" I paused. Maybe Jaypaw was wrong, that I was going to go to Starclan tonight. "Have you come to guide me to Starclan?" I mewed. Before this warrior could reply, Jaypaw'a voice clouded everything. "No!" He growled. I wasn't going to go just yet. Good. "Come back to the Clan with me, Poppypaw. I'll take you home." What did he mean by home? Wasn't home where you felt safest? This place sure did feel safe, but it was Starclan's suppose to feel that way. "It's okay, little one." The milky voice purred to me. "You can go with Jaypaw. There is a place for you here, but not yet." She bent her muzzle towards mine until our touched. "Soar Poppypaw." She purred in my ear like a mother. Then she did the same with Jaypaw and whispered something in his ear. "Follow me." He hissed. Jaypaw ran away from this place but something made me stay here. I wanted to talk with that one cat, and I would be able to. I hadn't awoken yet, so yeah.
