Chapter 20
Darkpaw blinked open her eyes. Seeing the same darkness as always, she smelled around the place. Turning her head her nose bumped into what smelled like a mouse.
"I wonder where Fallen Leaves is…" Darkpaw mumbled.
Chewing on the fresh kill, she smelled around. Slowly standing on her paws, Darkpaw took a few wobbly steps forward scouting the area. Leaning against a cold wall, she continued to walk towards the sound of water.
'I kind of wonder…' Darkpaw thought, 'If I were to die right now, would the prophecy end? Or is that too easy?'
Taking a step forward, her paws reached the cold water. While Leaning down to take a sip of water her paws slipped. Falling inside the water she desperately tried to swim up. But being blind, she didn't even know if she was going down or up.
"Darkpaw!" There was a splash of water above of her that revealed Fallen Leaves. She was pulled up, and out of the water in the next few moments. "Do you have a death wish or something?!"
Darkpaw coughed up water along with blood. "I was...just thirsty...sorry, I slipped…"
"Are you sure that you didn't do that on purpose?!" Fallen Leaves yelled.
"..."
"Dying won't help this prophecy, you know. You might just be the only one that knows how to save the clans. Your power could be the only one that could figure out who else is doing this." Fallen Leaves scolded.
"I can't even use my power without nearly killing myself now, though!" Darkpaw complained.
Fallen Leaves sighed. "That's why you have to stay here, heal properly, and be patient. Going back half dead won't help anyone, so just relax."
Darkpaw did a small nod and was dragged to her moss bed. Given a few familiar herbs, Darkpaw turned her head to the tom. "Were you a medicine cat? You seem to know a lot of herbs."
"Medicine cat? Oh, no. I wasn't in clans like you and Hollyleaf were." Fallen Leaves said.
"Hollyleaf...oh right! I was wondering why I knew that name!" Darkpaw lifted her head up. "She was one of the cats that died in the Dark Forest battle…didn't she get a prophecy like that with her two brothers?"
"Maybe. You figure it out, I'm going hunting." Fallen Leaves paw steps echoed through the cave as he left.
'I wonder...If Hollyleaf was in the prophecy, then couldn't she talk with me?' Darkpaw thought, 'I am a medicine cat, after all.'
….
Redpaw
….
Redpaw sat blankly in her nest. 'If the prophecy is over, why do I still feel so uneasy?' Redpaw thought, 'Darkpaw and Lightheart didn't deserve to die, though…'
Snapped out of her thoughts, she looked at Nightpaw. He was walking out of camp alone. 'This might be a good chance to talk to him about everything...whether or not we should stay…'
Following him out, she struggled to keep up with his fast pace. She thought about using her power, but the thought was thrown away when she remembered what happened to that one cat. She decided to keep walking normally.
"N-" she was cut off by Nightpaw talking to a bird.
"What!? So then Lightheart is alive!?" Nightpaw and Redpaw gasped.
"What?!" Redpaw whispered.
"But she lives in Twoleg Place...? Are you lying?" Nightpaw asked.
The bird chirped. "Not much help you are..but are you sure that you saw her? Hey! Wait!" the bird flew off.
"Is that true?" Redpaw asked, "Is she alive?"
"I don't know...he could've been lying..." Nightpaw looked surprised at first, but shrugged it off. "But so you think its worth to try going there?"
Redpaw nodded. "If there's even the slightest chance she's alive, we have to try!"
