Jayfeather padded up the slope to the Moonpool. He wanted to see if he'd have his dream again.
His paws moved easily up the slope; it was so familiar that he didn't need to see to get to the top.
Now he was here. He walked down the slope, his paws going in the usual hollows.
"You're late. " Willowshine said.
Trust her to notice, thought Jayfeather grumpily, but all he said was, "Toadkit was in my herbs again."
Jayfeather lay down beside the pool and lapped up some of the water. It tasted wonderfully cool, and refreshing, tasting of stars.
When he opened his eyes he found himself in a camp. There was a cave in the corner. A cat was sitting on the outside. Jayfeather supposed he was keeping guard, but he had fallen asleep.
Curiosity prickled his pelt. What was the cat supposed to be guarding? Was there a prisoner in there?
He padded past the night guard, looked at the stars above and went into the cave.
It was surprisingly dark in the cave, and for a moment, Jayfeather thought he had woken up and was blind again.
However, when he looked back, he saw the camp at night. He went a bit further into the cave.
Now Jayfeather could see two pinpricks of light in the gloom. They were cat's eye gleaming in the faint light of the cave.
"Hello?" Jayfeather said uncertainly. The cat shifted oblivious to him and Jayfeather caught a glimpse of golden-brown fur.
The next thing he knew, he was blinking sightlessly by the Moonpool.
Author's note: Yeah! A Jayfeather chapter. I will continue to update. I hope.
