"Soooo, that's about it," Sparrowtail had just finished explaining her prophetic dreams.
There was a long pause, wind rustled the poison oak door that blocked the leader's den.
"What do you think it means?" Reedfang looked to Frostclaw.
Frostclaw, who had recently joined them, looked up thoughtfully. His frosty gaze flickered.
"Maybe...maybe, 'A raid shall come', is refering to our clan elder, Raid," his face hardened in thought.
"Maybe. But what does, 'though it shall bring a great good, it shall also bring a great evil', mean?" Pinestar asked questioningly.
For a moment, Pinestar and Frostclaw's eyes met. Pine green met ice blue. There was a chilling silence, and Sparrowtail felt a sudden chill. Her goosebumbs had goosebumps! And from the way Reedfang's shoulders were hunched, he could feel it too. They could tell something was wrong, but they didn't know what it was!
"Somebody talk! Please! Anyone! I can't stand this chilling silence!" Sparrowtail thought helplessly.
The light brown haired girl looked at her leader and medicine cat again. They were still staring at each other. Ther gazes glimmered with worry, fear, and a hint that they had some type of secret. Reedfang gulped the air. The silence was killing them!
"I don't know," Frostclaw broke the silence.
Sparrowtail and Reedfang both let out small sighs of releif.
"Are you sure?" Pinestar asked.
Frostclaw nodded seriously.
"Hmm. Okay then, I want every one to keep a wary eye out for anything strange. You are dismissed! Except for you Sparrowtail," Pinestar did a kurt nod and shooed them away.
Sparrowtail got in a comfertable position and looked at her leader.
"Can you keep a secret?" were the first word out of Pinestar's lips.
"...Yeah," she replied in a whisper.
"I'm pregnant," Pinestar lowered her head slightly.
"Really? That's wonderful!" Sparrowtail automatically brightened up.
"Yes, being pregenant is wonderful. But at the same time, it's not. I think StarClan will be angry," Pinestar's voice was cracking.
"Why? What's wrong," Sparrowtail had full concern in her voice.
"I'm pregnant with Frostclaw's kits," Pinestar's voice was barley audible now.
"What! Medicine cats aren't aloud to have mates! Let alone kits!" Sparrowtail jumped up in shock.
"Shush! I trust you, keep this secret! And don't tell a soul," her tone was thin and crisp as she hissed the words through her fangs.
Sparrowtail gave a quick nod and scurring out of Pinestar's den. Just as she stepped outside, Dawnlight burst through the camp entrance.
"Duskcloud is missing!"
