Chapter 2
It took forever, but I finally made it to land. It was the beginning of newleaf and the ice was getting thinner, so I let out a sigh of relief to finally find land. At this rate, I realized I was starving and started running to the land. I was a few fox lengths away from the land when I felt the ice break away under my paw. This current is stronger than I thought! More ice broke under my weight until I was being dragged by the current.
By this point, my paws were flailing on the ice for a single grip. But it was too slippery and I fell straight under the water. For a heartbeat, I thought these were my last moments of life. So I just stared at the surface of the water. I was so close to land. I realized I missed my chance and suddenly felt anger. I cant just lay here and die. I got ready and launched myself up and started to kick my hind legs. My lungs were begging for air. I closed my eyes, and suddenly broke the surface feeling oxygen all around me. I gasped for air and finally caught my breath. The land was right there, and for the first time in a long one, I was happy. I pelted to the land and stopped abruptly right in front of it. I stared at the grass. Slowly, I put my paw gently upon it. It felt amazing. I walked onto it and collapsed, falling into sleep.
When I woke up, I went hunting and caught a mouse, a squirrel, and a vole. Starving, I wolfed it all down and decided to go explore. Just when I was going to step out of a bush, I heard a voice. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I knew it was another cat. Finally! I cautiously stepped out of my hiding spot and saw a shocked face standing before me.
"Flameeye?" it was a she cat with 2 other cats about my age standing next to her.
"Yes, who are you?" I questioned her.
"I-I'm your mother, you don't remember me?" she looked hurt.
"No, I only grew up with a sister." Now I was the shocked face.
"Lillypad! Where is she? Is she with you?" she now looked worried.
"No, But you cant be my mother, I grew up on an island." Now I was just confused.
"I'm leafstorm, these are your brothers, goldenpelt and talonfoot." She explained to me that when twolegs took over our territory, she sent my older sister to take me to a safe place and take care of me. Apparently, they found a new territory and were waiting for us to come home.
"and now-now youre here!" she finished.
"but where is your sister?" my mother asked me.
"She stayed at the island. I actually got angry and ran away." I felt embarrassed to say the truth.
"You-you got angry?" I was confused once again.
"Oh no, Its finally going to happen." Talonfoot whispered to goldenpelt.
"what, whats finally going to happen?" I asked in a voice that showed my worry.
"we need to talk," my mom whispered to me. "its about a prophecy."
Intense, is it not? If it is, good!
