Chapter Six
Goldenfur P.O.V

"Listen you great big ball of fluff," Shadowheart hisses, shoving her muzzle in my face. "Do not tell anyone about what you dreamt about, okay? And don't-"

"Can I tell you?" I interrupt, a wide grin glued to my fuzzy face.

My new friend rolls her deep blue eyes agitatedly. "No."

"But... Why?"

The black she-cat hisses before stalking through the undergrowth. As she pushes all the low branches out of the way, I forget to be careful and end up being whacked in the face.

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

TREES HATE ME!

As we near yet another branch, I realise something and start bouncing on my paws. "Shadowheart! Shadowheart!"

Stopping dead in her tracks, the black she-cat's head droops in exhaustion before she growls: "What?"

"I gotta go!" I squeal, not stopping my bouncing-fest.

"'Go'?" The she-cat turns around in confusion before spotting my bouncing. "Oh no! Wait until we get back to camp!"

"I can't! I'M GONNA EXPLODE!"

Casting pleading looks in the direction of camp, she sighs. "Alright, alright! Hurry up! And don't you dare 'go' anywhere near me!"

Looking around with fearful eyes, I whisper. "I can't go here! What if someone sees me!"

Shadowheart starts scratching at a nearby tree in agitation. "What do you want me to do about it?"

"Will you keep watch for me?" I ask, widening my amber eyes for sympathy.

Gritting her teeth, my new friend growls: "If I keep watch, will you just 'GO'."

"Yes! Yes! Promise! Promise!"

Shadowheart is the bestest friend ever!

She made sure that no-one is around, and she didn't even turn around herself! Not even once!

We're gonna be friends FOREVER.

After that little escapade, my new best friend took the lead for when we went back to camp. She even shoved some leaves in my mouth!

I guess she thought I was hungry, but I wasn't. I said thank you anyway though!

My Mum always told me to be polite, especially to friends. IF YOU'RE NICE THEY'LL BE YOUR FRIEND FOREVER.

As we trotted through the entrance, I realised that we'd just walked in on a Clan meeting.

OOPS.

"Cats of CloudClan," Brackenstar booms as I sit next to my BESTEST FRIEND EVER. "StarClan has sent me a dream. They said that we all have a guardian spirit who watches over us, and only us. They told me it is now time that we repay those spirits. So sleep peacefully tonight, Clanmates. Dream of your spirit. Dismissed."

As the Clan disperses, I follow Shadowheart to the fresh-kill pile, thinking about what Brackenstar said:

Someone watches over me? STALKER.

GreyStripe: Thank you!
