Chapter 12
Hey guys! Or whoever's left... Sorry about the superlong wait, but school started recently, and this is the first break I've had in a while. Also, I had to fix my computer a while back so...
Oh, to hell with excuses. I'm back and I WILL finish this story(I'd kill myself if I din't) and it WILL be epic!
I padded back to camp with the Three in tow. I looked back to see how they were doing. They all looked tired. I sighed and kept moving. The blood-spattered bushes were swaying in the wind. The entire forest seemed relaxed, and all I wanted to do was lie down in my nest and go to sleep.
But that would have to wait.
Only Lionpaw had escaped from the battle without a scratch. In the confusion I had been separated from the rest of my patrol. I did not know what would await me when I got back.
As I padded through the thorn barrier, Jaypaw raced towards the medicine den. Leafpool was still crouched over Squirrelflight. I winced at the sight of her. She looked so weak. Lionpaw and Hollypaw sighed wearily, and I knew they were thinking the same thing.
"Go," I said. "I won't tell anyone."
Lionpaw looked at me. "But didn't you need to tell us something?"
I hesitated. I wasn't sure if I should do this, but common sense won over. I turned to them.
"You know the prophecy?" They nodded. "Well, there's another one. It states that three must become four, to battle the darkness that lasts forever. I am the fourth."
I saw Lionpaw jump in surprise."Wh-what? But- How did you know-"
Hollypaw was less surprised. "I thought there was something different about you. I knew it from the battle, when you defeated that warrior without even touching him."
I grinned sheepishly. "Oh, that? Yeah..."
Lionpaw smirked. "Yeah. What was that all about?"
I sighed. "Okay. My power is to slow down time around me, but to you, it looks like I'm going super fast, or not moving at all."
Hollypaw gasped. "So that's how you caught up to me so fast!"
I nodded. "Yup. So now you know. And you need to prepare yourselves; there are dark times coming."
