Chapter 7
I finally decided what Lightpaws power will be! Anyways, enjoy this short chapter!
Lightpaw coughed out the holly berries she ate. Darkpaw gave her some more herbs, sighing of her stupidity.
"So why did you eat these holly berries? You know, If I hadn't of had powers, I wouldn't of known how to save you. And you would be dead." Darkpaw pointed out.
"Ah...well, I was hungry and I thought they were juniper…" Lightpaw sighed.
Darkpaw let out a short pur, then continued to give her herbs. After she ate the last bitter tasting one, she nodded with appreciation and left to the apprentices den and quickly fell asleep.
Lightpaw opened her eyes, only to find herself still in a dream. The scent of mouse grew, making her mouth water from the many days of no prey. She quietly stalked it, so quiet she was able to hear it its heartbeat.
"Run."
Lightpaw whipped around, seeing herself stare across at...herself. "W..what?"
Her other self disappeared into the bushes, and another cat appeared from a tree. "Darkpaw? What's going on?" Darkpaw left, and yet another cat appeared.
"Millie? Firestar? Jayfeather? Tell me what's going on!" She begged.
A dark mist formed around Jayfeather, hiding him completely. When the mist disappeared, Jayfeather was gone, and instead Ivypool was there.
"Run."
"What's going on? StarClan, help me!" Lightpaw screeched. She slowly took a few steps back, then broke out into a run. Whoever that cat was, they were turning them self into other cats. The strange cat jumped onto her, holding her down.
"Run!"
"Lightpaw? Are you okay?" Lightningpaw nudged her awake, startling her.
"What.." She murmured.
"You were saying something in your sleep. Are you okay?" Lightningpaw asked.
"I'm fine. Go back to sleep." Lightpaw whimpered.
Lightningpaw nodded, then in a few seconds he doze off into sleep.
'It's the same dream…' She thought, blocking out Darkpaw, 'The same dream, over and over again…'
….
….
Darkpaw yawned as she gave Night some herbs to eat. Light paws scent was faint, but seemed recent. Darkpaw curiously followed the scent, leaving Night alone. The scent followed into sandy hollow, and next to the cliff.
"Lightpaw?" Darkpaw called.
Lightpaw turned around for a second, then looked back at the cliff. She held the gaze down, and then jumped.
"Lightpaw!" Darkpaw screeched.
A gust of wind flew from her as she ran to the cliff.
'StarClan, please save her!' She begged.
The wind grew as Darkpaw screamed for Lightpaw. 'There is a price…' A voice whispered inside of her.
'What?' Darkpaw thought.
'If you save her, there is a price…' The voice continued, 'you will lose all good that is left inside of you…'
"What!" Darkpaw shook her head. "If I can save her, then I'll do it!"
The wind grew stronger, and went straight down to Lightpaw. It carried her safely up, perfectly fine.
"I'm sorry, Lightpaw…" And Darkpaw collapsed to the ground.
Yass. Cliff hanger! Hehehehehehe...
