Power of two

by Lucy Rell

The Children of Dovewing have just been born, and the two of them have learned about a prophecy about them: "Storm clouds and Luck will save the clans from darkness and the mighty oak."

5. Chapter 4 Darkness

Ch. 4 Darkness

The moon was high in the sky. The waves glittered in the moonlight. Two cats whispered, alone on the Island. One, with a dark, black pelt. The other had brown- ginger fur. The two toms nodded and walked separate ways. The dark tom walked up to WindClan territory. The other walked to the marshy ShadowClan territory.

Cloverpaw woke, she could sense two cats in the distance, going their seperate ways. Someone was on the Island. Should she tell anyone? Cloverpaw thought to herself.

Cloverpaw could hear the howling of the wind outside her den. She gazed around carefully watching her den mates sleep. Cloudpaw was gone! Cloverpaw sprinted out of the apprentices den. She looked around the camp, but Cloudpaw was no where. Cloverpawtried to use her sharp senses, but the wind was to distracting. Cloverpaw paced around camp until the wind died down. She really did not want to be seen leaving camp alone, and at night, again. Cloverpawwas to distracted by her sisters odd absense. Cloverpaw had butterflies in her stomach. All she could sense was that something was wrong.

By the time the wind died down, it was dawn. Cloverpaw concentrated to pin point Cloudpaw. Cloverpaw panicked and hoped her senses were wrong, because it was not good at all.

Cloverpaw ran to inform Lionstar of the situation.

The two cats pawed throught the forest. Pushing their way through braken, and branches. Cloverpaw heard a fighting in the distance. Cloverpaw stopped dead, and got ready to pounce on to her enemy.

Teh ShadowClan deputy stood over Cloudpaw. Cloudpaw lay still beneath his paws. Cloverpaw felt over come with rage. She leaped on top of Tigerheart, cuffing his ears with her claws. Tigerheart shook her off. Cloverpaw landed in the gaze of another ShadowClan cat, Oakpaw, Tigerheart's apprentice. Cloverpaw gazed into Oakpaw's eyes, they were burning like fire. Teh cats tumble dover each other. Scraching, cuffing, pawing, biting. Cloverpaw and Lionstar fought the two invaders until they went running back to ShadowClan. Oakpaw's eyes got gental as he fled, they were saying, I didn't mean to hurt you Cloverpaw. Tigerheart on the other hand gave a gaze full of dark ambition.

"Cloudpaw!!!" Howled Cloverpaw. Cloudpaw was still, then she moaned, "He was thinking like Tigerstar."

"Cloudpaw you're alive!" Cloverpaw barked while in tears.

"I will be ok," Cloudpaw wispered.

Lionstar choked," Cloudpaw lean on me we will get you back to camp. The three cats walked close together back to the ThunderClan camp.

There is darkness umung us, a voice wispered inside Cloverpaw's head. Cloverpaw thought, I know. Something does not seem right.
