Ai chihuahua! Its been a long time since I've updated! Cut me a break though! Middle school is hard!
Anyway, starting now, my best friend, Dapplepaw, is going to my story commentator! WOOOOO! GO DAPPLEPAW!
Dapplepaw: *yawns* Starting anytime soon?
Me: Shut up! I'm working on it!
Dapplepaw: Seriously, Goldenstar! I have soccer practice at noon!
Me: *rolls eyes* Whatever, you're fine.
Dapplepaw: Hrmph...
Me: Let the story begin!
Dapplepaw: *grumbles* Finally...
Jayfeather woke with a start. Brokentail and Tigerstar! They'd been in his dreams! Only StarClan were allowed to communicate with medicine cats! He took a deep breath, calming himself. Just then Leafpool padded in with a mouse. She dropped it at his feet and said, "You seemed very restless last night. You kept calling out like you had a badger on your tail! Honestly, if I hadn't been tending to Berrynose I'd have never gotten any sleep!"
"Sorry..." he grumbled, still drowsy with sleep and terror. "I'll, uh, go check the herbs." Jayfeather was eager for anything other than that dream to keep his mind at bay. He lumbered to the very back shelves of the den and sorted through each herb, making a mental list of what needed to be restocked.
"Catmint...goldenrod...tansy...poppy seeds...borage...burdock root...marigold...horsetail... Leafpool, we need more celandine, comfrey, juniper and yarrow!" he called.
An agonized shriek tore through the icy silence of dawn. Jayfeather spun around, fearing that Tigerstar and Brokentail were back to haunt him in reality. But, no. Leafpool raced out of their den, beckoning for Jayfeather to follow. Firestar was up, heading towards the entrance just like Leafpool, matching his daughter's pace stride for stride. Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight had joined them by the time they reached the training hollow, the source of that terrified yowl.
Jayfeather was the last to enter the sandy hollow. He heard Firestar's quick intake of breath and Squirrelflight's withdrawal from the front of the group. Brambleclaw, even though Jayfeather couldn't see it he knew, had stretched his eyes wide open. Laying there, covered in blood and sand, not breathing even a bit, the tortoiseshell body of a newly named warrior, was Poppyfrost.
Sorry about the short chappie! I kinda ran out of ideas and its hard to get them back when SOMEONE coughdapplepawcough is watching over your shoulder!
Dapplepaw: I was helping you edit it!
Me: And again, whaaaatever!
Dapplepaw: .......
Me: Guess what? I'm starting to work on my first Songfic!
Dapplepaw: No comment.
Me: Sigh. Until next time, me out! Review please!
