A/N: Hello to all my readers! I have decided to update this story first and earlier than all my other stories this time because of the reviewers that want me to updatye. I love your reviews and they inspire me to write. It's great to know that people are actually reading and enjoying my writing. Thank you to all for reading this story this far, and I hope you'll enjoy this new chapter.
Update: 6.16.12
I finally finished. Here's the next chapter. I already previously had about 700 words done about maybe 3 weeks ago. I just totally forgot about ti. Especially with the year ending, I've been really busy. Well, the good news is that since summer is approaching, I'll have a lot of extra time to write. Sorry for the long wait, and here is the next chapter!
Chapter 4
Dovewing: Follow Your Heart Part I
Dowewing twisted and turned on the hard rocky surface. The ground was filled with small pebbles and she was finding it hard to fall into unconsciousness. Her eyes wanted to close and fall asleep, but her mind was racing, and thinking. She would never be able to sleep like this. Dovewing decided to go out of the Moonpool and walk around. The areas nearby were tinted with a white shimmering light, which was emitting from the moon. It was a full moon tonight, and the three cats were all in the Moonpool, hoping to all find some answers. Dovewing walked out of the dark cave and came upon a large cliff. She could remember the troubles of climbing up the step hill, and did not want to fall to her death below. She stayed far away from the side of the cliff and looked up to the glimmering moon above her.
'I wonder what he's doing right now…' Her mind subconsciously thought. Once she realized that she was thinking of a certain cat, she scolded herself for thinking of him. Here she was, at the most sacred grounds of StarClan, and she was still thinking of breaking the Warrior Code. She swiftly leapt back into the cave and crawled over next to Lionblaze. She could feel his warmth and it was significantly more comfortable than curling up in a ball by herself. With the warmth of her friend, sleep came upon her much quicker, and soon enough she was dreaming…
"Wake up…wake up…wake up…" Dovewing heard from her sensitive ears over and over. She ignored it and refused to listen as she shut her eyes tight and forced herself to sleep even longer. After a while, she gave up and opened her eyes. To her surprise, she wasn't awake, yet she was. She was awake in her dream. When she looked around her, she saw a barren land, with no plants growing. The land was familiar, yet she couldn't quite place where she was. Or at least before she saw who appeared…
"Greetings Dovewing," she heard a raspy voice from behind her. She turned around to face an old female cat. She didn't know who she was, but based on her appearance, she could already tell that she was Yellowfang, the mother of Brokenstar. She was a popular cat in many stories that were told in the nursery. Her tattered, grey fur and her big bushy thick tail. This description matches perfectly. Once she realized that she was once in ShadowClan and then was exiled and was part of ThunderClan, she already knew what she was here to talk about. After all, StarClan cats didn't talk to cats for no reason.
"Yellowfang…" She whispered. The wind blew strong and her pale fur was flying around her face.
"Yes, I am Yellowfang. I see you have been educated well," The old thin cat replied. Dovewing was slightly intimidated by the presence of this cat. Although it wasn't the cat herself, it was the topic they were going to discuss. StarClan cats were said to know everything, as if they could see and hear everything happening below the stars…was this true?
"Yes, I have heard many stories about you. I have heard of your bravery throughout my years as a kit, apprentice and a warrior,"
"Stop with the flattery. You must know what I am here to speak to you of," Yellowfang snapped.
Dowing didn't expect that to happen. But she knew that she wasn't the nicest of all the cats. "Yes, I do," she responded to her question.
"Then you must know what you should do about it? The correct choice isn't always the right one, you realize? StarClan isn't here to cause problems. StarClan's light emits from the hearts of its followers. You must believe in your own heart and do what is right. Keeping this going on is not good for ThunderClan or ShadowClan. Tigerheart is keeping you a secret from all of his clan as well, not only would you be forcing him to do that, you are also causing troubles between the clans! We are in the middle of a war, and there mustn't have battles that weaken StarClan. The DarkForest is gaining power everyday. We must not have warriors weakened from useless battles," By the time Yellowfang had reached the end, she was almost yelling. She was furious about what was happening, and it was very obviously shown.
"I'm not trying to cause trouble…it's just that…" Dovewing mumbled off, not sure how to put her emotions into words for the older cat to understand.
The sun will rise soon. Go back and wake, but remember, I will be watching you in your dreams…see me next night. By then, you'd better have an answer to what you are going to do.
A/N: Yes, finally it's finished. This chapter was very boring for me to write, so I'm sure it was boring for you to read. It's almost summer time and I am so excited. For the next few months before school starts, my goal is to make a 50,000 word increase in every one of my stories. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I apologize once again for the extremely long wait.
