Chapter 3
I was surprised when I blinked my eyes open to a meadow filled with green grass and beautiful ocean blue sky's.
Suddenly a cat with Silver spotted fur came into view," Hello Wishingpelt," she greeted me.
"Who are you?" I asked the silver spotted cat.
"I am Cloudstar, former leader of Cloudclan. Cloudclan is in trouble and only you and Flowerleaf can stop it," she mewed.
"But I am dead," I replied.
"Well not techinacally yet, you will wake back up in the real world but before I must tell you something, A Whishing star and a Flower petal will save the clan from the darkened hearts within the forest," she meowed.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Only time will tell," Cloudstar said.
Then suddenly she started to fade. I was waking up.
When I blinked my eyes open I was in the middle of the clearing, Darkshadow was not?!
I slowly stood up, cats around me looked at me with wide eyes," how is that possible? He's not even a leader."
I padded over to Willowstars den," so who's the new deputy?" I asked.
He whipped his head up with wide eyes," how? But I killed you!" He snarled.
"Is that a good way to greet your deputy?" I asked with a slight pur in my voice.
"It is if they're a traitor," he muttered.
"But I'm not! I'm telling you SunClan did it!" I exclaimed.
"Fine, but your friend is now a prisoner," he growled.
I walked out of his den, I wanted to know what the prophecy meant. Maybe I could travel to the moon pool! I quickly glanced around, Flowerleaf was in the clearing.
"Want to go to the moon pool with me?!" I asked her.
"Are you mad?" She hissed in a low whisper.
"Please? It's for a good reason," I added.
"Fine, but only if you tell me the reason on the way," she muttered while giving in.
We bounded out of camp and towards the moon pool. I told her about the prophecy and that someone else is in it. Then as I spoke realized it must be her!
"It's you," I exclaimed.
"I know," she answered.
"Wait you already knew?! How?" I asked shocked.
"Starclan told me when I first became a warrior. I've been wanting to go to the moon pool to speak to them so I could learn more about what it means," she answered.
We padded towards the moon pool, we finally arrived at Sun high and we sat down. I slowly lowered down towards the crystal water. Then, I pressed my nose to it.
I woke up in the same meadow I had been in before, except now Flowerleaf was with me.
Then Cloudstar came into view once again," hello Flowerleaf and Wishingpelt, I'm guessing you're here to hear more about the prophecy," she greeted us and asked.
"Yes," we both answered in unison.
"You shouldn't of come, your clan needs you right now, they are in trouble. But you will stop a dark force that is brewing in the forest," she replied.
Suddenly we both woke up from our dreams at the moon pool. We both stood up then pelted back to camp. When we got close to Cloudclan we heard screeches almuniate the air.
"Who is attacking our camp?" I breathed to Flowerleaf.
"I would saw Dawnclan," she replied.
We ran through the entrance to see that Flowerleaf was right. I quickly attacked the deputy, Stormdrop. I jumped onto his back. He yowled then rolled onto his back which made my claws dig deeper into his back. Our fight was exactly like mine with Willowstar. But then Stormdrop pinned me.
He bared his teeth, he was about to go in for the kill when all the sudden a streak of red and brown knocked over Stormdrop. I suddenly stood up, shaky on my paws, and saw Willowstar bite Stormdrop in the shoulder which made him run off.
"You saved me? Why?" I asked.
"I wasn't going to sit there at let you die!" Willowstar growled.
"Oh it's like those many moons ago!" Leafdapple wailed.
I lept at another cat, and clawed his ears, he ran away hissing and spitting at me. Then Dawnstar appeared watching the battle on the high rock. I yowled a battle cry and lept at her. I bowled her over onto her back and clawed her stomach.
"How dare you sit and watch your clanmates be ripped to shreds! HOW DARE YOU!" I yowled at her.
She hissed at me and clawed my sides, I didn't care I still clawed her stomach. She was losing blood and fast.
"Dawnclan! Retreat!" She called out.
She slowly limped away," You're not a traitor, I was wrong," Willowstar murmmered from behind me.
"Are you alright?" Flowerleaf circled me.
"Yeah I'm fine," I answered.
"No you're not! Go see Leafdapple!" Flowerleaf exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes and limped towards the medicine cat den," hello Wishingpelt," she greeted me.
"Hello Leafdapple," I greeted her back.
"So are you and Flowerleaf mates yet?" She asked all the sudden.
I almost choked on my own spit," No I didn't even know she liked me," I admitted to her.
She chuckled to herself," all toms are so oblivious! She likes you! Almost everyone in the clan can see Flowerleaf mooning over you!" Leafdapple meowed to me.
"So earlier, in the battle, you said," oh its like those many moons ago!" what did you mean?" I asked her as she applied cobwebs to my wound, and also changing the subject.
"Moons ago, Dawnclan and SunClan tried to wipe out Cloudclan, they didn't of course, but this battle reminded me of it," she told me.
Suddenly Willowstar popped his head into the medicine den," after you are patched up we are heading over to Dawnclan camp to talk with Dawnstar," he declared, directing the comment at me.
I nodded my head then rested it against my forepaws. Suddenly a rustle came from the entrance of the medicine cat den. I looked over to see Flowerleaf padding into the den. She glanced around, probably trying to find me, and I found that I was right when she spotted me she walked over to where I was laying on my paws.
"Did Willowstar tell you...?" She asked.
I nodded my head," Yes," I replied.
She then layed down next to me so now our pelts brushed one another.
"Y-y-you know that I like you right?" She asked.
"Yes, Flowerleaf, I like you too," I replied.
A huge smile spread across her face, she nuzzled me. I leaned against her. We stayed that way for a while. Until finally, we fell asleep. I woke up early the next day, my wounds didn't hurt so I figured I would go on the patrol today. Flowerleaf was still asleep next to me.
"Flowerleaf," I whispered her name.
She blinked her eyes open and smiled," good morning Wishingpelt," she whispered.
I slowly got up, it hurt only a little, probably from soarness. I padded out of the den with Flowerleaf. I walked towards Willowstars den.
"Lets go," I said when I entered his den.
His dark green eyes told me he was up," Ok. Get me Flowerleaf, Goldenfur, Shadowfur, ,Stormvine, Poppycloud, and Leafdapple," he commanded.
"Willowstar, that seems more like a battle patrol than a going to talk patrol," I stated.
"Exactly, now lets go," he growled.
He was going to attack Dawnclan! But after all they do deserve it for attacking us with out a good reason, well I'm guessing its not for a good reason.
"Flowerleaf, Goldenfur, Shadowfur, Stormvine, Poppycloud, and Leafdapple meet me at the entrance," I yowled.
The cats I named padded towards the entrance," what are we doing?" Flowerleaf asked.
"I think Willowstar wants us to attack Dawnclan camp," I answered her question.
