So sorry once again about taking so long to update! Recently I've been busy running for vice president for our school's student council, homework, family issues, and loads of drama. But now almost all of that is over, and I'm ready to get back to doing what I love the most…writing! This is the next chapter, but its short so I'll post two! PLEASE REVIEW…it makes me feel happy knowing that my stories are being read :D
I woke up and found myself sitting in the elders den. It must have been at least 2 or 3 moons ago, because Dawnpool, Runningwind, and Acorntail were curled up in their nests. Runningwind was grumbling to himself, Dawnpool was grooming her long fur and Acorntail was fast asleep in his nest. The scene seemed oddly familiar when suddenly I saw myself walk inside. "I'm here to clean out your bedding and replace it," I announced.
"Finally you apprentices decide to do some work around here! This dirty old moss has been crying to be changed for days!" Runningwind yowled.
"Be nice to him Runningwind! He's a new apprentice, and you don't want to scare him away," Dawnpool said.
I remembered this day now. It was when Dawnpool and I had been talking for a long time. But why was I dreaming about this?
"Well as long as you do the job right I won't claw your ears off," Runningwind hissed.
I began to claw the bedding away.
"Come on Acorntail, let's go bask on the sun rocks," Runningwind said, as he woke up his denmate.
"Why? I'm perfectly comfortable right here," Acorntail snorted.
"This apprentice is going to change out our bedding," Runningwind explained.
I heard myself snort angrily.
Acorntail sniffed the air like he was trying to smell my scent and figure out who I was.
"But Sparrowtail isn't an apprentice," Acorntail objected.
"No it's some black apprentice. Goosestar's son," Runningwind said.
"Then why do I smell Sparrowtail?" Acorntail asked.
"Because Sparrowtail is his mentor mouse-brain! Of course he'll have Sparrowtail's scent on him!" Runningwind hissed.
I saw myself roll my eyes with irritation.
"His name is Lightningpaw," Dawnpool interjected.
"Oh right. That rings a bell," Runningwind said.
"Can I please start doing my duty already?" I asked impatiently.
"As soon as Acorntail gets up and comes to the sun rocks with me," Runningwind replied.
"Fine, fine I'll go. But his smell. It doesn't smell all like Sparrowtail. It smells like something else too. I can't quite place it," Acorntail said as he walked away with Runningwind.
The memory then began to fade away and I was sucked into blackness…
