Chapter 8~
"Sunpaw…Sunpaw, Sunpaw, we are calling you. Come to us. Come the Moonstone…"
I woke, startled by those voices.
"Isn't the Moonstone the place you go to speak with StarClan?" I wondered. I thought about it more, gradually remembering Icestream telling me about it. Now that I recall, she did speak of a Moonstone when she was telling me about the old forest the Clans used to live in. Medicine cats and leaders would go there and speak with StarClan, she had told me.
Sunlight filtered through the barn door. I stretched and felt the straw prickling my paws and leapt down, bringing strands of yellow straw down with me.
Ravenpaw's black figure could be seen, silhouetted against the sun.
I padded over and sat next to him on the dirt floor of the barn, wrapping my tail around my paws.
After a few moments, I meowed "Hi."
He shifted, his green eyes gleaming in the morning sunlight. "Hi."
I didn't know how to start. "Do you still think about the Clans, sometimes?"
For a moment he did not answer, then Ravenpaw sighed and replied, "Yeah, sometimes I think about the Clans and wish I'd stayed. Other times, I like my quiet life."
"But it's all behind me now, even if I wanted to, I couldn't go back."
"Why?" I meowed in confusion and curiosity. Why wouldn't he be able to go back? Was he exiled or something?
"Because, since StarClan told the Clans they had to leave the forest, because twolegs are destroying their home, they are so far away, it could take moons to find them…" He trailed off.
I started to worry that these questions might still be hard for him to answer because he still missed the Clans, but I still had to know; "Do you know where the Moonstone is?"
"Yes…" Ravenpaw looked at me, curiosity in his bright green gaze.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because-"I paused, wondering if I should tell him about my dream, "I had this dream," I began, "StarClan spoke to me, they told me to go to the Moonstone."
Silence.
"Yes I do know where it is, and if it is StarClan's wishes for you to go there, then, if it hasn't been destroyed, I can take you and Moon there if you like, tonight."
"Why tonight? Why not now? Wouldn't it be easier to find in daylight?" I could hardly stop the flow of questions as I gave Ravenpaw a questioning look.
"StarClan can only descend from the sky when the stars are out at Moonhigh."
"That makes sense! So tonight?" I was excited.
"Yes, tonight it is, then."
"Thanks, Ravenpaw!" I could hardly contain my enthusiasm. I was one step closer to meeting the Clans!
OoOoOoOoO
I wandered over to Moon's nest.
That lazy cat, it was nearly sunhigh!
I pounced.
Moon was wide awake now, as we tumbled down from the straw pile in a mock fight.
His sky blue eyes glistened with laughter.
We landed on the straw coved barn floor.
Shaking the straw from our pelts, we stood up.
Then I remembered, "Moon! Have you heard of the Moonstone?"
"No," he meowed, curiosity overwhelming his soft voice.
"What is it?"
'Sounds like me', I thought. "The Moonstone is where you can go to speak with StarClan, as told by Ravenpaw."
"I remember you telling me about StarClan, why do you bring it up?" meowed Moon.
"I had a dream from them, from StarClan. They told me to go to the Moonstone. I talked to Ravenpaw about it, and he agreed to take us there tonight."
I knew the question coming next. "Why tonight?"
"Because, Ravenpaw says that only when the stars are out, can StarClan descend from the sky."
"Hummm," pondered the gray-white tom. "That makes sense." I circled Moon in excitement, tail waving in the air as excitement bubbled up, through me.
"I'm so excited! I'll be able to speak with StarClan! Maybe I'll be able to see my mother…" I trailed off as I thought about Icestream, my mother who gave her life for me.
Moon saw the look of pain that flooded my eyes and stayed quiet.
OoOoOoOoO
As the sun set in the sky, I sat watching the vibrant sunset.
The rays of the sunset swept over my fur, turning it a fiery orange.
Purring, I stretched, the last rays of sun, warming me to the bone.
"Isn't the sunset so beautiful?" Moon sat next to me in the soft grass.
"Yeah, I love watching the sunset, its so calming," I sighed then yawed in relaxation.
I looked over to Moon.
His fur was so beautiful in the sunset, his eyes glimmered a deep sky blue as he sat…
I shook my head, what was I thinking?
Did I really like Moon like that?
Maybe I did…
"Moon! Sunpaw! We should start out now, so we can get to the Moonstone before the Moon reaches its height." I turned quickly in excitement and saw Ravenpaw and Barley standing just outside the barn, waiting for us to come.
Moon and I glanced at each other, excitement blazing in our eyes.
We raced over to Barley and Ravenpaw; we were going to the Moonstone!
OoOoOoOoO
Grass brushed my paws as we raced across the moor, trees thinning out.
I heard Ravenpaw and Barley slow, as a huge rock came into view.
It was a deep gray rock with many gashes in it, probably from the monsters that Ravenpaw had told me about that forced the Clans to leave the old forest in the first place.
"We are here, this is the Mothermouth."
The Mothermouth? I was confused.
Seeing my look of bewilderment, Ravenpaw meowed "The Mothermouth holds inside it the Moonstone."
I nodded in understanding and tilted my head towards the sky; the moon was nearly at its height.
"Do we go in now?"
"Yes, but once inside, you must not speak. Barley and I are not coming, you will be alone, but you will know the Moonstone when you see it."
"Okay," Moon and I meowed in unison.
Side by side, we padded towards the cave.
We stopped right in front of the cave and glanced at each other.
"Well, let's go." I meowed excitement mixed with wonder as I said it.
OoOoOoOoO
Inside the Moonstone, an orange paw and silvery white paw were set, and two cats walked in, unsure of the events that were to unfold that night...
Another chapter done...
But just another has begun...
