Sorry I took forever to update. I was really busy and got the worst case of writer's block EVER! Well, here's the second chapter.
Dovepaw POV
"Well, shoot!" Jayfeather growled impatiently.
"I had a dream last night." That was all it took to make the grumpy medicine cat perk up. "Go on!" he said with interest.
"I was at the gathering," Dovepaw narrated the rest of her dream to Jayfeather. "Do you know who the tortoiseshell was?"
"As a matter of fact, I do. Her name is Spottedleaf. She was the medicine cat of ThunderClan when Firestar joined the Clan. And she gave you another prophecy?"
"Not another one." Dovepaw said. "There was more to the first prophecy that she gave me. After the sharp-eyed jay and the roaring lion, peace will come on a dove's gentle wing. But the dove can be caught between the tendrils of ivy and the swishing breeze. The arrival of cold will allow the dove to arise once more."
"Well," Jayfeather thought out loud. "The arrival of cold probably means the start of leaf-bare. But what about the rest of the prophecy? What can it mean?"
While Jayfeather was lost in another world, Lionblaze entered the den. "Hi Dovepaw. What are you doing here with Jayfeather?"
"She had a dream last night. Spottedleaf gave her a prophecy." Jayfeather said when Lionblaze jerked him back to reality. "After the sharp-eyed jay and the roaring lion, peace will come on a dove's gentle wing. But the dove can be caught between the tendrils of ivy and the swishing breeze. The arrival of cold will allow the dove to arise once more."
"We'll discuss this later." Lionblaze said quickly. "Dovepaw, I've been worried about the scent that we found on the patrol. I think that you should use your power in order to find out who it is. It may be something new, and something dangerous. Are you up to it?"
Dovepaw jumped at the opportunity. "Yes, yes! I'll do it!" she said while jumping up and down.
"Calm down, mousebrain," Lionblaze said. "You don't want all four Clans to know, do you?"
"Fine."
"Okay, let's go!"
Lionblaze was starting to get anxious. What if this …thing jumped out and attacked him, Dovepaw, and Jayfeather, who insisted on coming along against Lionblaze's will.
"Is this the scent you were talking about?" Jayfeather asked with his nose wrinkled.
"Yes, yes it is." Dovepaw responded before Lionblaze could say anything.
"All right, Dovepaw." Lionblaze said. Before long, Dovepaw got a distant look in her eyes indicating that she was "investigating" the mysterious scent.
Five minutes later…
"I'm bored!" Jayfeather complained.
Lionblaze sighed in frustration. His brother had been telling him that constantly since Dovepaw had begun her "investigation". "You insisted on coming. You know that you didn't have to." Lionblaze responded.
Before Jayfeather could say anything else, Dovepaw's eyes returned to normal.
"What did you find?" Lionblaze asked.
"That was creepy!" was her only response.
"What was creepy?"
"There were 4 Twolegs there. 2 of them matched the scent that was found on the patrol," Dovepaw began. "One had that scent as well, but she had more Twoleg mixed in. The other one had a mix of Twoleg and a scent similar to dog." Dovepaw then wrinkled her nose. "It smelled awful!"
"Let's get back to camp. And you," Lionblaze glared at Jayfeather, "don't say a word till we get into camp."
"Fine, bossy paws!" Jayfeather said while pouting. The Three then started back to camp.
"I wonder who those Twolegs are and why they have such a different scent," Dovepaw wondered out loud.
I hope you liked this chapter. I will try to update more frequently from now on.
