CHAPTER 15

A Leaf-Fall breeze blew through the chilly night air, as the gray apprentice finally finished trekking through RiverClan territory, and made it back to camp.

The streams that were bubbling along swiftly into the lake was the only noise that filled the forest. Emberpaw looked up at the dark sky with unease, he didn't like being out here in the dark all alone.

Leaping across the largest stream, Emberpaw thanked StarClan that he didn't fall in, that wasn't how he wanted to end his already horrid day.

But as he entered the camp of RiverClan, the gray tom was overcome with fatigue.

I need to sleep, he thought as a yawn came upon him, he had never been so tired in his life!

Heading over towards the apprentices den, Emberpaw made sure he was awake to jump over the small stream that surrounded the den. Easily making it across, he pushed aside the hanging lichen and entered the warm cozy den.

Blizzardpaw and Frostpaw were curled up in a corner, the plump tom warming his sister like the sun.

Brothers Timberpaw and Eelpaw were sleeping in the center of the den, one that was reserved for the eldest of the apprentices.

Carefully stepping over the snoozing cats, Emberpaw found a nice but slightly cooler spot near the back of the den, and curled up in his soft moss bed.

He curled his fluffy gray tail around his body to warm his small pink nose, and in a matter of seconds Emberpaw felt himself drifting away, as sleep overtook him.

Silence was all that filled the young toms mind for a few short moments, and the sound of rushing water could be heard.

Is it raining? He thought while still drowsy, sometimes the river got larger when it rained, but never did it sound so loud as this.

A spray of mist woke Emberpaw with a jerk as he sneezed loudly, what was this!?

"Hello young one" a soft voice made the RiverClan apprentice turn abruptly, this wasn't a cat of RiverClan.

Her pelt was a bright white shade, she looked as if snow had slipped into her pelt and absorbed into her fur. And the cats eyes were bright blue almost indigo, that seemed to curve like a crescent moon.

"My name is Moonspirit" she meowed finally, "I was Medicine Cat of RiverClan moons before Fernstar's mother was born."

"Moonspirit?!" he echoed in utter shock, as his mind drifted back many moons ago.

"The night I gave birth to you and your sister, I was contacted by StarClan. You remember when I told you about the cats that live in the stars?".

Ember nodded, "I remember. They're the spirits of all the cats that have died."

Terra smiled, "I was contacted by a cat named Moonspirit. She told me that one of my kits will face a destiny unlike any other, and that this kit must uncover secrets from the clans. Ones that could destroy their future."

That was the day Terra died, and the day Emberpaw knew what his life had in store for him.

"I knew your mother for a brief time" Moonspirit mewed softly, "I am sorry she had die in such a horrible way, but at least she had you."

Emberpaw turned his head, his amber eyes watering from the memory of his mothers death.

"Why am I here?" his voice cracked with emotion, "Is this StarClan?".

"It is" Moonspirit bowed her head as she look at the waterfall only fox-lengths in front of them. A thin layer of water poured like sparkling crystals into a small moonlit pool, creating an endless amount of tiny rainbows.

"I am here to tell you, what your mother could not. I'm here to tell you that your getting closer to the truth Emberpaw" her eyes flickered with darkness for a moment, as he waited to hear what else she would say.

"There are secrets hidden deeply in the land of RiverClan" Moonspirit whispered like a nights breeze, "And some which are darker than even you could imagine, are still waiting to be unearthed."
