Chapter five

Jaypaw's POV

We walked down the path to Moonpool; Leafpool hasn't said much more than two or three words to me since we left the camp.

What is she not telling me? I pondered silently to myself as I padded beside her to the edge of Moonpool as I took my place between her and Kestrelflight. I bent my head to touch my nose to the icy water and let sleep take me to speak with my ancestors. I looked around at all the starry cats of ThunderClans past; I noticed Bluestar padding toward me.

"Hello young one." Bluestar said.

"Hello Bluestar." I said and dipped my head in greeting.

"StarClan knows of your secret;" her voice was calm but I tensed up, waiting for her to tell me that my duties of being a medicine cat apprentice were gone and that I needed to come out to my clan as to what I have been doing.

She must have noticed because her eyes flickered with an emotion to hard to tell for sure, but it seemed like a longing.

"We do not wish to punish you or disregard you of your medicine cat duties, other's have done worse, we do however need your help in a prophecy though it may not end how you would like."

"What is it?" I asked worriedly.

"The crow has taken flight and blood will take its place."

I gasped.

Part of it just somehow made sense to me, I knew for a fact that the first part of it was about Crowfeather, but the second part did not ring a bell, but it scared me for I did not want to know of what she meant.

"Go now young Jaypaw do what you can, for this is something StarClan cannot handle, we have warned Kestrelflight, but only you have the right connections to protect your clan."

"Wait!" I yelled as she began to fade away. I awoke with a start; I heard the others were beginning to stir as well, I noticed Kestrelflight's wary feelings flooding off in waves.

We padded into the medicine den it was nearly dawn, so Leafpool told me to go and take a nap, she would wake me if she needed my assistance.

Please still be asleep, I really need you right now Breezepaw.I prayed.

I curled up and focused in on Breezepaw. I ended up on WindClan's territory glad to see the familiar black figure of Breezepaw.

"Hey!" I yelled as I bounded up to him.

"Well hi there." He said his eyes glimmering with happiness to see me.

"Glad you could come and see me before I woke up."

"Same here." I said breathlessly. He licked my check and caught the sadness that was beginning to flood off of my pelt, now uncontrollably.

"What's wrong Jaypaw?" he asked his voice full of concern.

I was scared to tell if he hates me? What if he doesn't believe me?

I have to tell him. To keep him safe even if he hates me I do not ever want to see him get hurt.

"What is it?" he urged on.

"It's your dad, he is planning something, it's bad. StarClan gave me a prophecy it's The crow has taken flight and blood will take its place."

Rage filled his eyes.

"I do not know what it means exactly, but I will find out and I will stop it." he hissed. Then he disappeared. He must have had to wake up.

"Be careful." I whispered to the air before I woke up.
