Chapter 10
Four sunrises had passed since that dream and Moonpaw was still trying to figure out what was happening. She hoped she would get some more explanations at the Moonpool that night. She was itching to leave, but the sun still hadn't even set.
She looked toward the apprentices' den: Brightpaw had retired earlier and was already deep asleep. Moonpaw was worried, these days her sister seemed even more tired than usual.
She groomed her white fur and her golden stripped tail, then licked her paws and washed her face. Moonpaw stretched and decided to go to the elders' den to see if they needed something.
When she entered their den, she found them fast asleep. She checked Littlepetal to see if her fever had not returned, careful not to wake her. The elder seemed fine so she padded out to the clearing again.
She sat down and looked around. Featherstorm and Frostleaf were sharing a rabbit. Her mother was sunning herself, chatting with Raindrop. The kits were playing with Cloudwhisker, attacking him from all sides. She purred as she saw Berrykit slip off his father's back and roll to the ground. He was one of the clumsiest cat she had ever seen. Much to her surprise she also saw Acornstar and Silverwing talking under the Highledge. Some cats were watching them awkwardly. Usually the two cats avoided each other except for the Clan's duties. Brightpaw is right… Why did her made her deputy if he can never agree with her?
"You seemed pretty restless." observed Blackleaf as they walked toward the border. "Are you so itching to go to the moonpool?"
"I guess I wanted to see Daisypaw." answered Moonpaw, not giving anything away. She hadn't talked to Blackleaf about the dream she had had and she thought it was for the better.
"It's good to see you!" mewed a cat from behind who was running to catch up with them.
"It's good to see you too, Nightleaf!" greeted her mentor.
The ShadowClan medicine cat dipped her head and they soon saw Icefur arriving.
"Am I late?" he asked as he stopped beside Nightleaf.
The black she-cat brushed her tail along his white flank. "Don't worry, you are not. Whitwhisker and Daisypaw have yet to come."
"He's the one complaining about us being late and now he is the last one to arrive!" commented Icefur, annoyed. Whitwhisker was known for his impatience -he had asked them to arrive on time as he hated to wait- and RiverClan's medicine cat was famous for his sharp tongue, probably due of his tiny size.
Moonpaw saw two cats running down a hill. "Look, they are here!" she mewed as she pointed out to them.
"Sorry!" apologized Daisypaw. "Flamekit got a thorn in his pad right before we left!"
"Kits these days." muttered Blackleaf and the medicine cats began purring.
They soon were on their way. The moonpool was as beautiful as ever. Moonlight was making the water shine, and the stars' reflection seemed to be dancing. Moonpaw lapped the cold water and soon drifted into sleep.
She woke up in the same clearing where she had seen her brother. She looked around but there was no cat to be seen. She followed the same path she had took and arrived at the small pool.
"Stormkit?" she called. No answer. She was alone.
"Please answer me!" she wailed desperately. "What is the danger? What is happening!"
She felt she was beginning to fade. "Please!"
Just before opening her eyes back at the moonpool, Moonpaw heard the StarClan she-cat whisper next to her. "I'm so sorry."
Moonpaw sniffed the dirty place tunnel. Her nose wrinkled. She finally found what she was looking for: a fresh scent trail of Brightpaw. It seemed that her sister had gone out while she had been at the moonpool. Moonpaw then finally made up her mind. She was going to have a good sleep this night and the next… she was going to find out what was her sister hiding.
