Sleep dragged my eyelids. I didn't want to go to sleep to see Rosestripe again. I fought against the weight of sleep… but soon, I gave in.
I was in the darkness again. Rosestripe licked my ear and said, "Please. Go back home."
I snapped, "Why?"
Rosestripe narrowed her eyes and said, "You are Lilykit."
"Prove it."
Rosestripe said, "Let me see if you recognize your brother."
A dark tortishell appeared in a sleeping ball before me. A white tail curled up around his nose. I gasped. I did know him. He was… he was… he…
Robinkit!
I said that out loud, and Rosestripe padded over to me as Robinkit disappeared. She whispered to me, "He has been asking the leader to send out search parties ever since you disappeared. Now he's Robinflight."
I nodded slowly. Then, I switched back to my aggressive mood. Rosestripe sighed. I hissed, "Why should I go back? I'm perfectly fine."
Rosestripe started to disappear, "Dark blue will highlight your death, unless the true Lily flows back to her true home…"
I woke up. What an annoying cat. Storm padded over to me and said, "We're going to go exploring this part of the twoleg place, Fox Jr. and I. We might be able to settle down. Do you want to come?"
I saw Fox Jr. nod his dark ginger head towards me. I shook my head, "No."
Storm didn't look sad, instead, relieved. I wasn't popular among my group. Only Fox admired me for my quick thinking and fighting skills. I didn't mind. I watched my siblings rush away from me.
Steel stretched and said, "I'm going to go get a drink of water from the river. I need to move my paws."
He meant that he didn't want Bug(2) to get water-soaked moss. I said, "I'll come, too. I'm bored around here."
Steel narrowed his eyes and nodded. I followed him into the forest. I enjoyed the scent of the trees and the leaves. The mice and squirrels smell mouth-watering, though I wasn't hungry.
Suddenly, some cats flew into our way. The leader, a silver tabby tom growled, "What have we here?"
I snarled and Steel took a step back. I said, "We're just passing through."
The leader snorted and said, "To pass through, you have to get through us."
Steel hissed, "Cowards. Too weak to fend of 2 cats? You need a whole army to slay one mouse. Lets go. Two on two."
The silver tabby narrowed his eyes and growled, "Flora. You take the she-cat. I'll take this tom. Flick, if they win, they pass."
"No problem, Stripes."
I flattened my ears. Flora sprang at me. I neatly dodged her and scored my claws along her flank. She turned and nipped at my ears. I clawed hers in return. I took the smaller cat by the scruff and threw her at her friends.
Flora screeched and flattened her ears once she got back up. Flick snorted and meowed, "Not bad."
Steel was pinned down by Stripes. Stripes growled, "I guess you can't live up to your words."
Steel spat, "Just see if I can."
Stripes raised his claw and batted at the older tom. Steel bit Stripes' forepaw and Stripes hissed in pain. He sunk his teeth into Steel's neck lightly. He gurgled.
His eyes flicked to me and he rasped, "No… help…"
I stared at him coolly. Stripes tightened his hold and Steel's eyes rolled to the back of his head, and blood flowed from his wound.
Stripes spat at the dead tom and turned to me, "Not bad for a little she-cat. Want to join us?"
I shook my head. I had a place with my family. Not with those rouges. I padded to go, but Flick said, "You sure?"
I hissed, "Of course."
I sped away. Our clearing flashed in front of me. Fox eyes my wounds and asked, "Where's Steel?"
I gasped, "Dead."
Fox narrowed his eyes and said, "How?"
I explained how Striped killed him, leaving out the part I left him there under the silver tabby. Fox nodded and grunted, "He was a good cat."
That was the end of his discussion. I smirked, and thought, "Huh, two down, one to go…"
Another voice in my head said, "No! Go back home…"
I growled inwardly, "Why should I?"
The voice murmured, "You are Lilykit…"
I thought about this one more time. Dark blue will highlight my death, eh? That's what Rosestripe said. How did I know Robinki- Robinwing?
He was my brother. I heard stories from the elders about how "Fire will save the clan" so many seasons ago. That prophecy came true. Mine might unless…
"The true lily flows back to her true home…"
