A/N: Okay, sorry for the long wait for a new chapter. I was working on my other fanfics and kinda neglected this one. This will be an extra long chapter, so hope you all like it. Please read and review! :)

About an hour later, all three cats were ready to leave. This wasn't the end of their journey, it was the beginning of it.

Chapter 2:
Arrival

The three cats of prophecy were on the move, quickly moving from place to place, going at a good pace. They were planning to reach the Moonpool by the end of the day. At sunhigh they would take a break and hunt for some prey. When the sun was at its highest, the cats could feel the heat radiating from the sun.

"Can we take a break now Jayfeather? I'm getting hungry and feel tired. The sun's heart is drying me up, I need a drink." Dovewing mewed, hoping that she was convincing enough to make Jayfeather agree on taking a break. The cats had been going all morning, and even with the traveling herb's extra strength, they were still becoming worn out.

"Jayfeather, I agree with Dovewing, we've been traveling all day so far, we should take a break." 'Good, Lionblaze agrees with me. Maybe he can convince Jayfeather to take a break.'

"No we should go a little farther to the halfway point first." Jayfeather spoke, keeping his serious tone from before. For the whole day, Jayfeather hadn't spoken voluntarily, only speaking when he was ask a question or need to say anything. However, Lionblaze and Dovewing stayed a fox length behind him, talking with each other. Dovewing was a talkative cat and found it uncomfortable to be in complete silence.

Both Lionblaze and Dovewing were disappointed that they couldn't take a break or go hunt for prey, but Jayfeather was in charge and he knew the path best. After all, he was the only one out of the three of them that had been to the Moonpool. Dovewing could sense where it was, but it was a bit fuzzy, so she couldn't pinpoint its exact location.

"How much longer until we can take a break?" Lionblaze asked. 'He must really want to rest', Dovewing thought.

"Not now, so quit whining and let's go. There's still quite a way until we get there." Jayfeather was really serious, and the other two cats knew better than to argue with the medicine cat. He wasn't especially known for his kindness, and was a little snappy, but wasn't trying to be mean. 'I wonder what's on his mind right now…' Dovewing wondered.

Both Lionblaze and Dovewing had stopped talking to Jayfeather and resumed to staying behind him and chatting with each other. "So, how are you feeling about Cinderheart being a medicine cat?" Dovewing asked Cinderheart, making sure that Jayfeather was far enough ahead so that he couldn't hear what they were talking about.

"Well, I don't like it, but if that's what she wants then I don't have a say in it…" Lionblaze purred quietly, his sadness clear in his voice. "I can't convince her to do anything else. And, even if she were a warrior, we can't be together, the prophecy means to much. I need to stay strong for the impending battle. I can't be attached down to a mate with kits, not yet at least."

"I understand that but, Cinderheart's sad too you know. She wanted to be with you, and she wanted a regular life." Dovewing explained, trying to make Lionblaze feel a little bit better.

"Yes I know that, but it's just too hard. How is your secret going?" Lionblaze said, with amusement in his voice now instead of sadness, he was glad that the subject had changed to something more cheerful and bright.

"My….secret?" Dovewing asked back, unsure what Lionblaze had meant. 'He couldn't have meant that could he?'

"You know, the secret that is in ShadowClan." Lionblaze started teasing Dovewing more, hinting that he knew. Suddenly, Dovewing's expression totally changed.

"How do you know about…."my secret" as you called it." Dovewing was shocked, how could he have known?

"I'm smarter than you think. Do you think that I'm asleep in the warrior's den every night?"

"Well-" Dovewing couldn't think of a response to counter him.

"Don't make mistakes you can't fix. You know how many battles have been caused because of these things. The last thing we need are more problems between ShadowClan and ThunderClan, we already have enough."

"I know that, it's just-" Dovewing was interrupted by Jayfeather who had spoken.

"We're at the halfway point now, we can rest for a little while then we need to continue. Both of you start hunting. I'll try to find some wet moss or a water source."

"Alright." Lionblaze and Dovewing had spoken in unison.

So, the three cats had gone in separate ways, trying to find what they were looking for. After a little while, both Dovewing and Lionblaze had came back with fresh kill hanging from their jaws. Jayfeather was not back yet, so the two cats decided to go back out and hunt for some more prey, hoping to fill themselves up, knowing that they wouldn't be able to rest again until they reached the Moonstone. Lionblaze and Dovewing were excited, to be able to go to the place where they could communicate with their ancestors in StarClan.

Shortly after, Lionblaze and Dovewing had came back, but only Lionblaze had more prey in his jaws, the meadows and trees near here were not very filled with life, so little prey was found. Jayfeather had also came back with a source of water, so all the cats followed Jayfeather as he led them to the river. The river's water was fresh and clean, so the cats enjoyed it very much. A few minutes later after all the cats had finished eating and drinking, they continued on the path that led to the Moonpool. Before the sun had fully set, they had arrived, much sooner than they all had expected. Tonight, they would share dreams with their ancestors.
