Chapter 9

Stormpaw stood paralyzed on the Thunderpath. The silvery monster that was practically flying towards him wasn't slowing down. Stormpaw tried unsuccessfully to move his frozen legs, but he was stuck. He closed his eyes and braced himself for death.

Suddenly teeth fastened in his scruff and yanked him off his paws. Stormpaw tumbled backwards into a bush and got up slowly, trembling with fear.

"What were you thinking?" Amberdapple's eyes were blazing. "You could have been killed!"

Stormpaw hung his head. "I'm sorry," he mumbled. He cast a death glare at Frozenpaw, who was barely hiding her mrrows of laughter.

"Stormpaw."

Stormpaw's ears pricked. Without looking up, he glanced over towards the source of the voice.

Lionblaze stood there, tail waving. "Come on," he meowed.

Stormpaw looked up at the other cats. Amberdapple's eyes were still fiery with anger and worry, and Thornfur's pelt was bristling. behind them, Frozenpaw was sneaking glares at him. They didn't seem to notice Lionblaze in the bushes. They hadn't even heard him.

Stormpaw began to back into the bushes towards Lionblaze. "I'm gonna, um . . . go . . . and, uh, . . . make dirt," he stammered. "Uh, yeah . . ." He whirled and sprinted into the bushes. Lionblaze met him there, a faint grin in his eyes. "Hello," he meowed.

"What is it?" Stormpaw asked crossly. Now he was irritated. Frozenpaw had gotten him in trouble, plus his mentor and Thornfur thought he was a scared kit.

"You've been on the Thunderpath before," Lionblaze meowed, turning serious.

"What?" Stormpaw stared at him, shocked. "No I haven't!"

"Yes, you have," Lionblaze whispered, " . . . Rainkit."

A searing pain pierced Stormpaw's head. He dropped down onto the ground, trembling. His head began to throb. "What's happening?" he groaned towards Lionblaze.

"You're remembering," Lionblaze stated. he nudged Stormpaw and mewed, "Close your eyes."

Trembling, the dark gray tom squinched his eyes shut. Images and faded visions began to flash through his mind.

A monster was careening right towards him. He felt smaller, weaker, and bone tired, not like a couple minutes before. Rain pounded down on his pelt, and he didn't have time to move out of the monster's path. It crashed into him, almost suffocating him. Pain shot up his left front paw like a wildfire, burning everything until he couldn't feel it anymore . . . then everything vanished.

Stormpaw's eyes shot open. He stared in shock at his left front paw. It was twisted, like it would have been if he'd been hit by a monster. He stared around for Lionblaze, but the golden tom was nowhere to be found.

Did that really happen to me? Stormpaw asked himself as he padded back to the patrol. What had his vision meant? Was he going to uncover his past just as Nightwind had prophesied?

All the way back to camp, Stormpaw pondered it.

Yeah, pretty short, but I hope you enjoyed it. Lucky for you guys, it snowed today, and school got cancelled, so I'm using this time to write, write, and write! : ) Please review!
