Chapter 11 Moonstone

"How did you know?" Spottedpool accused.

"What!" Featherpaw meowed hastily, wondering what in the world her mentor was talking about.

"Sorry… I didn't mean for it to come out like that," Spottedpool apologized, "but how did you know to stay in camp last night?"

"Starclan told me to stay, I didn't know why then."

"Ooh, so it wasn't you trying to cover up your two littermates leaving the camp. I'm a medicine cat Featherpaw, and have heard the prophecy."

"How did you know about the meeting though?" Featherpaw asked, confused and worried at that.

"Another cat has been having dreams, but Starclan will lead you to that cat later on," Spottedpool said, "now! You should be getting herbs for the journey to the moonstone."

"Which-" Featherpaw started to ask, but then cut herself off. Better not to ask and not get an answer anyways. She looked through their stores of herbs, and found the appropriate herbs for traveling. She grabbed two servings for it, and brought it out into the clearing.

"Are you going somewhere Featherpaw?" Brightfur asked, looking at the mixed up traveling/strengthening herbs.

"Yes, but these are for other cats," she said, then saw an opportunity, "can you find Coralheart and Finpaw. Springstar and Spottedpool need to talk to them."

"Do they get the herbs, are you going to the moonstone? Is something troubling Spottedpool?" Brightfur asked, and then headed off towards Coralheart and Sunpaw.

She whispered something into Coralhearts ear, and then went to the apprentice's den. Coralheart and Finpaw came towards her, both wondering what was happening.

"You will be going to the Moonstone today, and before you bring it up, don't worry Coralheart. Rainstorm will be taking Lightningpaw and Sunpaw training for the day. I've already asked him," Featherpaw said, "here are your traveling herbs."

Finpaw didn't know what the herbs would taste like, but Coralheart did. But she suffered as a warrior, and didn't show any expression. Finpaw, on the other hand, was caught by surprise, "*gag* *cough* Sorry, but I was not expecting that," she said, amusement sparkling in her sisters eye.

Then Springstar, Wolfflower, and Spottedpool came and told them that they would be heading off now.

As they left, Thunderpaw realized where they were going. He narrowed his eyes when he saw Finpaw going, and Finpaw realized with happiness that she was going before he did, even being an apprentice for two moons shorter time.

They walked together, thanking Starclan that it wasn't snowing, even if it was raining hard. They bowed their heads down as they past through their territory, trying to stay as dry as possible, even though as dry as possible is very wet. They walked farther and farther, and finally made it out of Stormclan territory, and at the Windclan territory border.

"Remember, even though we have safe passage to the Highstones, remind yourself that we are still in another clans territory," Spottedpool said to the other cats. Featherpaw nodded, and Finpaw realized that her sister had been to the moonstone many times before this, even though this was Finpaws first time. Every half-moon, all the medicine cats and medicine cat apprentices went on a journey there together, with all the other clan to share with Starclan.

Anyways, she walked through Windclan territory, realizing that a bigger storm was coming. With no trees to block it, wind and rain was hammering on the four cats, making them wish that they had chose a better night. The wind definitely did not help, for they were soaking wet and the wind blew through their fur, making them cold. But soon they would be at Highstones, where they would be shielded from all of this.

That was weird, she thought to herself, no Windclan cats in scent or in sight. But I guess the rain would have washed a lot of their scent away, she reasoned.

But no, the Windclan cats were here. As they were walking, a patrol of them rushed towards them, their paws splashing puddles in the rain. But they rain did not annoy them, and Finpaw guessed that they were used to rain with no trees to guard them from it. Of course, they weren't Riverclan, so they didn't enjoy swimming in puddles. But then again, neither did the Stormclan cats.

"Spottedpool, Featherpaw. Why are you here?" A golden tom with black paws and a white tail tip asked, who was very curious. With him, were a night black she-cat with green eyes, and a very dark grey longhaired she-cat with amber eyes.

"Thornblaze, Leafshade, and Stormbreeze, we are traveling to the moonstone," Spottedpool answered. And Finpaw too recognized those cats. From the gathering. Thornblaze was Sapphirestar's brother, and Leafshade was his mate. And Stormbreeze was a nice queen who had the makings of a fine leader.

"In this weather?" Leafshade exclaimed, "surely it could wait."

"It can't, but we must be leaving. Send Sapphirestar are greetings," Coralheart said, ending the conversation. The Windclan cats were still suspicious, but they left, following Leafshade.

They traveled onto the moonstone, and finally got to the Highstones. They were greater then Finpaw could've imagined. Pointed rocks towered up to either side of the huge, rock cave that seemed to go on and on. It also had a slight curve, making it so that you could be getting deeper and deeper into the earth.

"This is…" Finpaw started, lost for words at the beauty of the mist sparkling like gems at the entrance of the cave. There was something cool about this cave, were it was very pretty, yet mysterious. But she would soon explore it, and it wouldn't seem quite as impressive then.

"Amazing," Featherpaw finished while Finpaw nodded in a trance, "I remember my first time. Starclan talked to me, and I was then a real medicine cat."

"Spottedpool, you wanted to speak with our warrior ancestors? You'd better do so if you want to make it back to the camp by moonrise," Coralheart said.

"Yes, come Featherpaw. Coralheart, can you guard the entrance just inside the cave, and Finpaw can come a little closer to the moonstone while the medicine cat's share with Starclan.

Finpaw looked at her sister who nodded, then she went further into the mystery cave. She had no idea what she was feeling, but she wondered how far she would be going in.

"Stay here, and you might want to wander off," Spottedpool said to Finpaw as they reached a certain point. Finpaw split off from the group, and walked toward the wall of the cave. Solid rock, and she could see a glimmer of light, allowing her to see.

Finpaw watched in the darkness, as her sister and Spottedpool walked further into the moonstone. Finpaw was allowed to go a little ways into the moonstone, while Coralheart kept her watch only a couple of paw steps into the Highstones.

She rubbed her paw against the hard rock, and waited. She suddenly drifted off to sleep without even realizing it, and a vision formed in her mind.

Now Finpaw wasn't expecting to get any dreams from Starclan -she left that to the medicine cats, but here she was, asleep and a black cat walked up to her in her dream.

"Finpaw. I have a warning. It will not happen for many seasons, but it will become your future. Beware a Spider, for his bite could destroy the clans," the black she-cat said, and before Finpaw could say anything, the cat was gone. She had faded away, into the stars.

What did she mean, and why was that cat so familiar?

Last chance to try and identify this black cat, and I have mentioned her name in a chapter before this one. You will figure out who she is in the next chapter.

If you identify her, you will get your name in bold and in italics on the next chapter.

What I mean to say: someone please figure it out.
