Chapter 16

"What do you mean? This is Lightpaw!" Darkpaw argued.

"Are you blind? This cat isn't Lightpaw! Any idiot could see the differences!" Nightpaw argued back.

Lightpaw saw Darkpaw wince, then shake her head. "I guess you're right...but who is she then…?"

"I'm Lightpaw! I really am! Here, Darkpaw, this is proof!" Lightpaw protested. Lightpaw crept into Darkpaws mind, and thought, 'It is me! Believe me, please!'

"It really is Lightpaw...but...why do you look like another cat?" Darkpaw muttered.

"I don't know! I just don't know…" Lightpaw cried.

"Wait...is this your power?" Nightpaw muttered.

"Maybe it is…but why could'nt you tell, Darkpaw? Anyone could see that this isn't what I look like." Lightpaw asked.

Darkpaw shifted uncomfortably and quietly said, "Don't you know? I'm...I'm blind."

….

Redpaw

….

Redpaw wailed at the sight of the dead tom, and ran. But she didn't use her powers, she just ran when she had a seen a patrol coming.

'I'm so sorry…' Redpaw blinked back tears.

She heard one last screech from the patrol behind her, then finally returned to the quiet camp. She stopped at the entrance of camp, to find all of the cats surrounded around one silver cat standing in the middle.

"Who is that?" Redpaw wondered.

Redpaw watched a tom, staring horrified. It was Graystripe. He yelped a blood curling scream as he saw the silver haired she cat. "S-Silverstream?"

"Whattt?" The clan screamed.

"Whose Silverstream?" Redpaw asked Darkpaw.

"That's...well, that's Lightpaw...using her powers…" Darkpaw stated. Darkpaw explained everything about Graystripe's past love, Lightpaws new power, and Lightpaws near death experience.

"Then...oh, poor Millie...she must think Graystripe still loves Silverstream…" Redpaw sighed. 'I hope nothing goes wrong with Millie and Graystripe because of Lightpaw….'

….

Lightpaw- Erm, I mean Silverstream...

….

Lightpaw, now Silverstream, stared back at Graystripe. "Um, hi?" She awkwardly said. Graystripe continued to stare at her, dumbfounded.

"Silverstream...but how…?" Graystripe cried, and gently leaned on her.

'Wahh! Darkpaw what do I do?' Silverstream panicked.

'Calm down. But...how do we explain how your alive? After everyone watched you die many many moons ago...but I guess for now, just pretend to be Silverstream.' Darkpaw wondered.

"Graystripe, what are you doing?" Silverstream shook once she saw Millie come.

"It's not...this isn't…" Graystripe sputtered.

"How dare you? She's dead for StarClan's sake! Ugh! We're over!" Millie cried.

'Erm...sorry Graystripe! So sorry...I guess I should go...um, Darkpaw, help me escape?' Silverstream asked through Darkpaws mind.

'Sure. One sec.'

Darkpaw clumsily tripped over a root and yowled. "Ah! I twisted my paw! It hurts! I can't see anything either! Wahh!"

Silverstream made her escape, running into the forest. Nightpaw followed after her, panting when they made it to the river.

"This is where it happened. So maybe this is where I can change back…" Silverstream sighed.

"So you just need to fully unlock your power and then you should turn back…" Nightpaw suspected.

Silverstream nodded, and focused all of her energy on her powers. 'Please...I need to unlock my powers for the prophecy...please…' Silverstream forced all of her energy into herself until she felt something break...maybe the chain blocking her powers? A big wind surrounded her, just like it did with Darkpaw. She stared down at her paws, watching herself take on many forms of cats.

"Lightpaw? Are you okay!?" Nightpaw called.

Lightpaw used the rest of her energy to break the wind, and return to her original form. She fell down from all of the energy she had used, and blacked out.

….

Darkpaw

….

"Why did you say you twisted your paw? And why in StarClan's name did you say you couldn't see? You're already blind, there was no point in that whatsoever!" Jayfeather complained.

"Sorry...It must have been a vision or something…" Darkpaw lied.

"Whatever...I have to go get some more herbs…" Jayfeather mumbled.

"Fine. I'll sort some herbs." Darkpaw agreed.

Darkpaw didn't even bother to sniff the herbs, she already knew which one went where. She carefully sorted the old, useless ones from the new, fresh ones in two small piles each herb. Just as she went to pick up the next herbs, she coughed up blood.

"What? I thought it was healed!?"

The blood kept coming out, Darkpaw was sure she was done for. Her old wound opened up, making her wanna screech in pain. The pain stopped, but Darkpaw knew what was happening.

Darkpaw gasped, and fell to the ground. "Looks like I'm one of the cats that are going to die, after all…"

Andd thats the end of this chapter. Now, I, have to stay up to start a project that I forgot to do.

Yay for doing things the last minute!
