Another double update! Here is chapter 18...
CHAPTER 18
(Alice's POV)
Alice crouched down low, she was stalking a mouse. She crept closer, the mouse didn't even notice her. She leaped and landed squarely on the small creature, satisfaction crept through her as she delivered the killing bite. She had always liked the word mouse as a human, she never imagined that she would kill one and eat it. If me and Moorpaw had had kits I would have named one Mousekit she thought. Oh, if only I had let you come Moorpaw! She sighed, well neither StarClan or ThunderClan had helped with her quest to become human, although the ThunderClan part had been unexpected. Alice guessed she'd have to find the source of what might have made her a cat, death berries. She had nothing better to do except look. She wandered through the forest for a long time, finally she decided to rest and eat. She caught a vole and happily sat down to eat it. After a long nap she stretched and went off to search again. Finally evening came then night, she settled into an abandoned fox den and let sleep take over. Alice's eyes flashed open she was in a meadow and the sun was just rising, where am I? She thought to herself. Suddenly she noticed Mossystar, the old RiverClan leader, sitting next to her. "Mossystar?" she asked confused.
"You are dreaming young one," the pale she-cat meowed.
"Thank StarClan for once I'm not dreaming about that stupid prophecy!" Alice breathed.
Mossystar narrowed her eyes, "Mistyeyes that prophecy is very important!" she hissed.
"Don't call me that! My name is Alice!"
"Fine Alice, unless you decide where your loyalties lie you never become a human again!" the leader yowled.
Alice looked away, "I'm sorry Mossystar really, it's just I miss my mom and dad and nobody really understands, not even Bramblesky," she mewed quietly.
Mossystar was silent, then she spoke, "I'm sorry young one no one will ever know how it feels, but this prophecy is important, for the future of the clans and you. They say one must get away to truly understand where their heart lies, that is the same with you. I can not stop you from doing what you want but please know that you are the future of the clans, and that sometimes what your looking for is right where you started." Alice stared at the pale she-cat as she padded away, it was so hard to make sense of it all. Suddenly she was falling and the world was dark, she heard Moorpaw calling her name and the sounds of kits squealing for help.
She could hear them but couldn't see them, "Moorpaw!" she called desperately, "Moorpaw!? Moorpaw! Moorpaw!" Alice woke with a start, she was still in the abandoned fox den. It was just a dream she reassured herself, after licking her fur clean she padded out of the fox den. The sun beat down on her pelt as she started searching for death berries, suddenly she looked up to see large brick structures everywhere. Houses!? She thought, then sighed i'm not going to find death berries in a house. She turned back to the forest and continued trying to find the berry, just then out of the corner of her eye she saw bright red berries on a green bush. Death berries! She thought excitedly running over to them. Using her teeth she very carefully pulled one off the bush. She laid it on the ground to inspect it, if this is what turned her into a cat maybe it would turn her back into a human. Why didn't I just eat them in Dawnfire's den? She thought to herself, she knew the answer, everyone would been so freaked out. She sighed, at least here she was away from them and could live in this town until she could find a way to get home. Hoping that it would work she leaned down and took a large bite of the berry, suddenly a spasm rocked her body and she fell to the ground, the whole world turned black.
Ohh, What happened? Please review!
