A/N:Yay!Let's celebrate! This is my 15th chapter for this story! Wooooo! -throws confetti in the air-
Chapter 15
Mistcloud's POV
"Okay,kits.I'm going to the Gathering,so Poppyfrost is going to take care of you until I get back Got it?"
"Got it!"
It was the night of the Gathering. My kits were still only a week old,but they were already tiring all the queens out.
"Bye everyone!"I called,as I left the nursery.
"Bye!"All the kits squeaked.
I padded up to Hollyleaf and Cinderheart.
"Hi,Mistcloud."Cinderheart said,when she saw me."How are Sunnykit,Wolfkit,and Rainkit?"
"They're fine. But,they have a TON of energy."I said.
Hollyleaf laughed.
"You're so lucky to have kits."she said.
Hollyleaf,Lionblaze,and Jayfeather visited them everyday. Hollyleaf and Lionblaze came,because they were kin. They already knew about Jayfeather being the kits father.
"Don't worry,Hollyleaf."I said,nudging her."You'll have kits soon enough."
Cinderheart gazed dreamily at Lionblaze,who was walking not that far from us.
"You're lucky to have Lionblaze,too."
I gulped.
"Err...yeah."
We came to the fallen tree that acted as a bridge to the island where the Gathering was. I hesitantly put a paw on it,then walked over it. Cinderheart and Hollyleaf followed. I looked around. Cats from the other Clans were crowded together. I spotted my friend from RiverClan,Minnowtail.
"Hi,Minnowtail!"I said,bounding up to her.
She turned around.
"Oh,hi Mistcloud!"
"How is RiverClan?"
"We're fine. Beetlewhisker's patrol got into a border skirmish a few day ago,but only WindClan got injured."
Then,a brown she-cat with a white chest and underbelly came up behind her.
"Hi Mistcloud!"she said.
"Hi Mossypaw."
The she-cat stuck out her chest.
"It's Mossyheart,now."she said,proudly.
"Oh,that's great!"I congratulated her.
"Are your kits already born?"she asked.
"Yeah.I have two she-cats,Sunnykit and Rainkit, and a tom,Wolfkit."I said.
"Cool!"Minnowtail said.
Just then,Leopardstar yowled,signaling the beginning of the Gathering. She looked frail and weak. My eyes widened.
Is it really time already for her to die? I thought.
I walked back to ThunderClan,and sat next to Icecloud and Blossomfall. I looked around again and saw a dark gray,almost black tom.
"Who's that?"I whispered to Blossomfall.
"...I don't know."she said,looking at the tom curiously.
I looked back up at the leaders. Blackstar stepped forward.
"ShadowClan is doing is running well,and we have a new warrior,Darkspirit."
He nodded to the gray tom,who stood up proudly.
Darkspirit? . Suddenly,my head erupted in pain. I shrieked and fell to the floor,unconcious.
Mistcloud's dream
I looked around.I was in a foggy forest.
"Hello?"
Then,Yellowfang came out from the fog.
"Hello,Mistcloud."she greeted me.
"Hi Yellowfang."I sighed."Was that cat the 'Dark' you were talking about in the prophecy?"
"Yes."she nodded."We have a new prophecy for you,now that you have your kits."
She sat down. Then,cats came out of the fog,looking around. I gasped. Jayfeather,Hollyleaf,Lionblaze,Ivypaw,Dovepaw(A/N:Yes,Dovekit and Ivykit are apprentices now.I forgot to say that earlier.),Sunnykit,Rainkit,and Wolfkit were there.
"Why are they here?"
"Jayfeather brought them all here. They are in YOUR dream."
Wolfkit and the others ran to me.
"Mistcloud!Where are we?"Rainkit asked.
She nuzzled my leg in fear. Wolfkit and Sunnykit ran to my tail and crouched,scared too.
"We're in StarClan. Yellowfang is going to give us a prophecy."I told them.
We all looked at her.
"Jay,Lion,Holly,Mist,Dove,Ivy,Wolf,Rain and Sun must fight together to claim the lives of the dark spirits."
Back at the Gathering
I opened my eyes ,Littlecloud,Flametail,Kestrelflight,Mothwing,and Willowshine were standing over me,Hollyleaf,Ivypaw,Dovepaw,Jayfeather,and Lionblaze. They had somehow ended up next to me. I realized that all the cats in the prophecy had fallen to the ground.
"Mistcloud?Are you okay?"I looked up.
Leafpool was crouching beside me.I moved my head to the right and found Jayfeather next to me,on his back. Willowshine was standing over him. It looked like she was trying to mate with him!
No she-cat is gonna get that close to Jayfeather without feeling my claws in their throat! I thought.
I raised my lips over my teeth in a feeble snarl and made a gurgling sound,though I was trying to growl. Leafpool looked at what I was staring at,and laughed quietly. She knew I liked him,but she didn't know he was my mate.
"Don't worry,Mistcloud."she said softly."Willowshine won't take him."
I made the gurgling sound again,though it sounded more like a growl,this time,and it was louder. I unsheathed my claws,raised my paw and swiped weakly at Willowshine. I only left shallow scratches on her flank. She glanced at me.
"She's drowsy. She can't control her limbs right now."Leafpool told her.
Willowshine nodded and moved to talk to Mothwing. I sighed quietly in relief and moved closer to Jayfeather.
A/N:Woooo!(still celebrating) I celebrated with a new prophecy and a Gathering! -throws up confetti again and releases a bunch of ballons- Yaaaay!
