"Ooof!" Icekit grunted when her den mate, Crabkit landed on her. Icekit squirmed out from under him, and pounced on his hind quarters. Crabkit jumped forward and batted at her with his paw. Icekit recoiled, then lunged and shoved him into the wall of the nursery. "Icekit, Crabkit, stop that now!" Dapplefur scolded, "Don't you know the clan is trying to sleep? Get back in your nest!" Icekit swatted at Crabkit one last time, then crawled into Sagepelt's nest. The queen shifted so Icekit and Crabkit could squeeze in among the other kits. "Goodnight mommy." Crabkit murmured as he settled down. Sagepelt smiled and nuzzled his head. "Goodnight little-one." She whispered. Icekit sighed sadly. The other queens lifted their heads to glare at Sagepelt. Sagepelt looked up. "Goodnight Icekit." she whispered quickly. The queens set their heads back down, but continued to glare at Sagepelt. Icekit shut her eyes tightly. All the queens knew they would never replace her real mom, but they tried hard. Sometimes, Icekit felt like they tried too hard.
When Icekit opened her eyes, she was in a grassy clearing she had never seen before. The clearing was encircled by trees, and had a rock right in its center. On the rock sat a starry, black tom. The tom had very sleek fur with hard muscles underneath. When he noticed Icekit, he raised his tail slightly and beckoned to her. Uncertainly, Icekit padded over to him. When she neared the base of the rock, Icekit called out, "Who are you?" The tom smiled and answered in a warm tone, "I'm Jaypath. You don't need to be afraid of me. I'm here to give you some advice." Curious, Icekit scrambled up the rock and sat down next to him. "What kind of advice?" she huffed. Jaypath's smile faded. "Your clan is about to go through hard times." He mewed. "Many cats will die. My advice is, don't lose hope and be strong. Protect yourself and protect your clan." Icekit's eyes widened. "B-b-but I'm just a kit!" she squeaked. " You should be telling this to Burntstar... or Rainstorm!" Jaypath smiled again. "Ahh, but you're a special kit. With a special destiny. Soon, you'll be a special apprentice with a special destiny." he promised. Icekit looked down at the rock. It was fading! Her head whipped around in a panic. "Don't worry. This is just a dream, and you're about to wake up." Jaypath soothed. "Be strong. Don't lose hope. Protect yourself and your clan." he paused. "Work hard towards apprenticeship." he winked. Then her dream faded and Icekit woke up.
Sorry. Bad chapter. Oh well... I needed this to happen. Anyway, Please review! Bye!
