Chapter 3
"Stardream, Stardream! Wake up," a voice sounded in Stardream's ears. "Wake up, it was just a dream, wake up," The voice meowed. Stardream's eyes flew open to find Wolfsong's face barely a mouse length away from her own. "Are you okay? You were twitching and muttering 'mother,' in your sleep," Wolfsong meowed. Stardream shook her head to clear it and stood up. "Are you okay?" Wolfsong asked. "I'm fine," Stardream snapped then caught herself. "Look Wolfsong, I'm sorry," she mewed. Wolfsong's eyes narrowed in anger, "don't be, I was just trying to help," he snapped and stalked off. Stardream watched him go, anguish in her eyes. Then she licked her silver pelt to clean it. The bushes rustled again and Eaglewing padded toward her.
"Here," he meowed, dropping a plump mouse in front of her, "thought you might be hungry." Stardream started to turn it away, intil she realized how hungry she was. She took bite of the mouse and looked up at Eaglewing. He was watching her, with concern in his amber eyes. "Are you okay?" he asked. "I'm fine," Stardream meowed, softly, and turned to look a the spot where Wolfsong had vanished. "You miss your mother, don't you?" Eaglewing meowed. His tone wasn't critical just worried. Stardream looked up at him and meowed, "I do, and Angelfeather wants me to believe I will never see her again."
"She could be right, you know that don't you?" Eaglewing meowed, gently. Stardream sighed, "I can't believe that, Eaglewing," she meowed, "none of you heard what she had said to me, before we fled." Eaglewing's ears pricked, "what did she say?" he asked. "Forget it," Stardream muttered and got to her paws. She once again took the lead and led them deeper into the still forest. Eaglewing sighed and followed her, Angelfeather came next and Wolfsong, lost in his own thoughts, brought up the rear. "I know you don't want to talk," Eaglewing meowed, "but have you given any thought as to where we are going." Stardream froze and didn't answer at first. "I do not know where we could go," she replied, "I've-we've-never been to these woods before, who knows whats in them." "Prey, that's for sure," Angelfeather meowed, cheerfully.
"But we need more then just prey," Stardream meowed, "we need a place to live, and water to drink." "What about the clans?" Wolfsong meowed. Stardream turned back to him, and widened her eyes. "Wolfsong, what do you mean?" she demanded. "I mean we could join one of the four clans that live here," Wolfsong meowed. "How do you know, four clans live here?" Stardream gasped. Wolfsong shrugged, "Echostar," he began and as Stardream's eyes clouded with pain, he stopped. "Echostar told me, that there were five other clans as well as them," he began again, "she told me they live in this area." "I thought Sapphireclan was the only clan in this world," Angelfeather gasped. "Well, there are five other clans, six if you count Starclan," Wolfsong meowed, "Thunderclan, Riverclan, Windclan, Shadowclan and Skyclan." "We are near four of the five clans that I already named," Wolfsong went on, "the other clan, Skyclan, lives far away from here."
Stardream nodded, "you could be right, we could all join the same clan, if we wanted to, but would they accept us?" she asked, anxiously. "Maybe, maybe not, its worth a shot," Eaglewing meowed, determinedly. Stardream nodded, "lets see if we can find them," she meowed and began padding again. Suddenly she stopped as a familiar scent wafted around her. "What is it, Stardream?" Eaglewing gasped. Stardream sniffed the air and her eyes widened in alarm.
"Foxes!" she hissed.
