Chapter 10

Darkpaw watched Lightpaw growl at all the moss she had to carry back to camp. It sagged over her head, only making it fall off for the third time. She sighed, and reached out to Lightpaws memories. It all went like this:

"Lightpaw…" Lightpaws spine chilled as she heard the voice behind her. She slowly turned around, knowing what was going to be behind her.

"Oh, hey Bramblestar….hehe….nice to see you again?" Lightpaw choked.

He only looked angrier as she tried to walk away. He dragged her pelt to the moss area, and she tried not to yowl of pain from all the sticks and stones in her pelt.

"Collect. Moss. Until. You. Learn. Some. Respect!" He spat.

"Wah! Okay, yes I will!" Lightpaw cried.

'Yikes. Wouldn't wanna be Lightpaw.' Darkpaw thought, getting out of her memories.

'Hey!' Lightpaw protested.

'Oops...sorry…' Darkpaw apologized.

'It's fine...I wouldn't wanna be me either. Anyways, we need to meet up with Night at...well, erm, night. We need to find out what his power is!' Lightpaw thought cheerfully.

'Yeah!' Darkpaw thought, 'I bet it's the power to be annoying!'

Darkpaw glanced at Lightpaw, who had fell over laughing. Night looked at her in a funny way, almost knowing that we're thinking about him together.

'Oh! Mouse dung, Bramblestar's heading this way. Think to you later.' Lightpaw closed off the connection, and Darkpaw began to work again.

"Hey, Darkpaw…." Night called.

"Ah! Uh, what?" Darkpaw jumped.

"I need to talk to you...in private" Night hissed, glancing at Jayfeather, "It's important."

"Can it wait? I'm kinda busy here!" Darkpaw tried to shoo him away.

"No, It can't! Come with me!" Night snapped back.

"Jayfeather, I need to talk with this annoying fur ball, he just won't leave me alone…" Darkpaw sighed, and Jayfeather nodded.

They headed out, and into the empty sandy hollow. Night quietly whispered, "About the prophecy…"

"What?" Darkpaw muttered.

"You can't tell Lightpaw this, but….when we-if we complete our destinies, and correctly follow the prophecy…" Night choked, "Two of us will die."

….

….

Lightpaw walked in the forest, searching for moss. She saw Darkpaw and Night heading back to camp.

"Hey, Darkpaw! You look as if you just saw Tigerstar! Is something wrong?" Lightpaw asked, "oh, and Night, I'm no medicine cat, but I'm pretty sure your paw has healed!"

"Yeah! My paw is better, and I'm going to join ThunderClan. If, your leader will have me." Night said.

"That's great!" Lightpaw purred.

"Well, It's only because of the prophecy." Night pointed out.

"I would take you to Bramblestar, but that would probably end up pretty bad. Darkpaw, why don't you take him?" Lightpaw said.

'Why?' Darkpaw thought.

'I need you to stall Bramblestar for as long as you can. I need to do something.' Lightpaw thought, nodding at Darkpaw.

"Sure!" Darkpaw said cheerfully, then gave Lightpaw one last glance before walking off with Night.

Lightpaw gratefully purred, then walked off to the forest full of trees. 'Okay...I need to go to ShadowClan border.'

'Oh, ShadowClan? Ha, there's no way they will welcome you with open paws.' Darkpaw thought.

'Do you know who our father is?' Lightpaw asked.

'Um...one sec…' Darkpaw paused, 'what! Wow...um, it's Tigerheart. Wow, I used to hate that tom.'

'Okay. Thanks!' Lightpaw thanked her, then closed off the connection.

She quickly went to a mud pit, then covered herself with all the mud her thin pelt could hold. Then, she quickly crossed the border, before even scenting for a patrol. 'Theres the camp!' Lightpaw eagerly thought.

"Hey! Tigerheart!" Lightpaw hissed. Tigerheart spun around, and saw Lightpaw in the bushes.

"What are you doing here?" Tigerheart angrily whispered.

"Then you know…." Lightpaw sighed, "anyways, come with me!" Lightpaw pushes Tigerheart into the empty tree stump by the mud pile she had rolled in.

"What is it?" Tigerheart asked.

"Do you have any extra kin?" Lightpawasked.

"Why don't you need to know!" He hissed.

"Please. It's a life and death matter! I'm begging you!" Lightpaw begged.

"Well…if you tell anyone this, your dead. Got it?" Lightpaw eagerly nodded. "Okay...Flametail, Dawnpelt and I...we have another...brother…"

"Who!" Lightpaw pressed.

"His kit name was Skykit, but he left ShadowClan to Twoleg place...I think he had a tom, and a she cat. I'm not so sure though…" Tigerheart said uncertainly.

"Than Night must be his son...but who's the she cat.." Lightpaw muttered.

"Like I said, I don't know. But you must go before the clan sees you!" Tigerheart warned.

"Hey, thanks…" Lightpaw smiled, "for the information. But why did you tell me all of this?"

"Well, I'd do anything for my daughter." Tigerheart replied, then quickly ran back to his patrol without even looking back.
