Leafstar woke from her dream with a start. She wasn't used to dreams like that, at least not yet. She stretched her legs and her back, and stepped outside her den. She sniffed the air. The air smelled awful, and when she looked around she realized more of the trees were gone and the monsters were getting closer. It seemed like yesterday that Firestar and Sandstorm had come from their forest home to re-establish Skyclan, even though many moons had passed since that happened.
Leafstar was going to miss this place. She had grown up in this place not to mention she led her Clan for many moons. She couldn't bear to leave this place, but she knew it was for the best. Her Clan could no longer survive here. They would need to leave now if they wished to prosper.
When she jumped down from her cave into the clearing, Leafstar noticed that most of the cats were already awake. Sharpclaw approached her and said, "Do you want me to wake the others so we can get ready to go, Leafstar?"
"Yes. We need to leave now, I'll go help Echomist gather her herbs."
When Leafstar got to the cave she was surprised to see that Echomist already gathered her herbs and was gathering up all the spider-webs and marigold that she had in her stock.
"Do you need any help with that?" asked Leafstar picking up some loose stems of marigold.
"No, I'm almost done, but maybe some of the apprentices would be willing to help carry some of this stuff on the journey." Echomist said looking over her supplies. "Maybe some of the warriors to. There are a lot of herbs here so any extra help will be accepted."
"Sure. I'll go ask around, Echomist. When your ready meet the Clan by the entrance to the camp."
Once Leafstar had gotten a good amount of warriors and apprentices to help out Echomist. It didn't take long until everyone in the Clan met by the entrance to the camp. "Is everyone ready to go?" Leafstar asked.
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
Leafstar could tell there was sadness and reluctance in everyone's voice. "Well, let's get going then. We have a long journey ahead of us."
She left the clearing and her Clan followed her. Everyone was looking up to Leafstar to lead them, but Leafstar had no idea where she was supposed to go. I'll just have to wait until Starclan shows me another dream. Until then I'll have follow my instincts.
Leafstar continued walking in the same direction until they were far away from the noise and the destruction of the forest. They kept walking until the Clan reached a quiet stream where everyone took a long drink. They had been traveling for hours and it was already nearing the end of the day.
Everyone was exhausted so Leafstar proposed they rest there for the night. Everyone including Leafstar fell asleep to the calming sound of the river.
Wow. It's been it's a long time. But I'm working on the next six chapters that I will post through out the rest of the day so don't miss out. (P.S. the reason I didn't update for so long is because I've been busy with school and over the Spring break I went to different places so I didn't have much time to write.) Sorry.
