Chapter 3
My mind was racing! What prophecy? Why am I involved with it? Is there something wrong with me being here? I don't know why, but I started thinking about gizmo and lillypad. I truly missed them. I let out a sigh of sadness, and my mother must have heard it because she started to sooth me.
"She will be here one day. I know it." She looked defiant but longing. Her eyes started to wander, but I don't know where. She was just staring off into space. I felt angry again.
"How do you know that?!" she was not shaken by my sudden fierceness at all.
"She told me, 'I will be back someday, I promise.'" I was surprised.
"Ah, finally!" she suddenly exclaimed. We had reached a cave that seemed magical. When we entered the cave, it was very dark.
"Sit" my mother commanded. I automatically sat down. As my eyes adjusted, I could just make out my mother's face.
"All the clan medicine cats have had a sign." I don't know how, but I knew about clans. Lillypad probably told me when I was a kit. My mother continued speaking.
"A vision of an eye filled with fire, and the shadow of a cat stepped into the ocean and turned it to blood. When I heard this, the eye part, I thought of you." The prophecy did have something to do with me. I looked at the ground, unbelievingly. The prophecy had described me as a killer, I swallowed. Was it me? Or another cat I knew? Gizmo? Lillypad? One of my 2 brothers?
"What does it mean?" I murmured. Was my anger going to destroy the forest?
I realized it was eerily quiet.
"Hey, what's taking you guys so long?" Talonfoot's voice broke the silence.
"Ya. What?" goldenpelt repeated.
My mother and I walked out. The setting sun's light burned my eyes since I was just adjusted to seeing in the dark.
I felt light headed and fell to the floor.
Think it's the end? It's not! Keep reading!
I woke up and saw another face in front of me that was unfamiliar.
"AAAHHH!" I screamed.
"Who is that? I thought you introduced me to everyone!" I asked out of breath.
"Flameeye, this is Roseclaw. During the night, a fox came and it had this poor cat in its jaws." My mother explained to me.
"She saved me!" said Roseclaw in a too loud voice.
"Well," I said looking around. "Welcome to the family."
