Silentheart murmured something unclear, her head spinning.

"I think she's coming to." a voice spoke, which she quickly realized was Goosetail.

"What happened?" she asked, suddenly wanting to bolt upright, but pain exploded in her head.

"Silentheart, calm down." another voice spoke. Silentheart recognised it to belong to her father, Ambertiger. His mate, Moondance, had gone to Starclan moons ago. She was also Silentheart's mother. "You were chasing a squirrel and ended up falling on your head. Goosetail says you will be alright as long as you don't go doing any more damage to your head." he murmured, teasing her slightly.

"Sorry Ambertiger. I'll do better next time to fall on my tail instead." she shot back playfully.

"Whoa there." Goosetail halted their game, coming between them. "None of this. You need to rest Silentheart."

Silentheart hung her head but obeyed. Goosetail ran everything perfectly, healing all the clan cats in record time.

Soon Silentheart was curled up in her nest, but was interrupted.

"Goosetail, may I speak to Silentheart alone?" Firestar asked.

"Of course." Goosetail nodded, leaving.

Silentheart lifted her head. "Yes?"

"Are you feeling alright?" Firestar asked.

"Yes, now that everyone is leaving. Is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Indeed there is. Your apprentice, Dawnpaw, has shown remarkable skills."

"Thank you."

"You do realize what you've done. Dawnpaw was always the slowest learner, never catching on to games. We found out there is something wrong with her. I didn't know who could train her better than you, so that's why I gave you the responsibility. I'm proud to say she's ahead of her siblings, Duskpaw and Ashpaw, in her training."

"Good for her and the clan." Silentheart murmured.

"It is. That's why while you rest, I would like to take Dawnpaw out for training myself. Would that be okay?"

"Of course. Dawnpaw will be thrilled."

Firestar nodded, then left a dazed Silentheart to rest. Silentheart sighed. *If only he wasn't so blind like most of the toms around here.* she thought helplessly, drifting into a fitful sleep.

Thrashing claws.

Big teeth.

Red eyes.

Blood flowed across Silentheart's paws, her fur feeling hot and sticky with the stench. "Help!" she cried out, believing that she was drowning. Moondance stood in front of her. "Relax my child. You will not drown. You will control it." Silentheart shook her head, not understanding, but as she did so, the blood retreated from her paws, yet it still covered the forest floor. "A prophesy, my child." Moondance whispered. "Gentle flowers cover the meadow. But one Thistle and the beauty will disappear. Beware the damage for it is unchangeable." With that, Moondance disappeared.

Silentheart woke up, breathing hard. "Just a dream, just a dream." she murmured to herself. Getting up, she tried walking, but ended up falling down. Then she realized something. She wasn't alone.

The camp was being invaded by Earthclan, and she was helpless.
