"I guess I do have a power after all" Duskpaw said meekly.
"No kidding" Moonpaw said in a small squeak. Just then, Bramblestar, Featherwind and Lionblaze walked into camp with Dawnpaw and Sunpaw.
"Duskpaw, Moonpaw" Bramblestar said "Meet me in the clearing. Lionblaze, get Jayfeather and Starpaw."
"Ooh! Someone's in trouble" teased Eaglepaw, a young kittypet who recently joined the clan.
"Shut it" Moonpaw snarled and unsheathed her claws. Duskpaw touched her shoulder with his tail.
"Just leave him, he's not worth it" Duskpaw soothed her. Moonpaw growled a bit but held herself back.
"Aww. The little kitten's scared" Eaglepaw laughed. Moonpaw lunged at him. Duskpaw grabbed Moonpaw by the scruff and hauled her out of camp.
"What was that for?" Moonpaw demanded after Duskpaw released her.
"Well, I could let you kill him and let you get in trouble, or I could save him and let you not get in trouble. Second one's a win-win situation."
Moonpaw paced and growled "I hate that kittypet"
Duskpaw sighed "Let's just get to the clearing."
Duskpaw lead the way, glancing back every once and a while to see if Moonpaw was following. When they reached the clearing everyone else was already there.
"Sorry we're late" Duskpaw apologized "someone tried to kill our newest apprentice"
Moonpaw hissed. Bramblestar cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Something weird has been happening. Before your birth" he nodded at the apprentices "Featherwind was visited by a Starclan cat. Spottedleaf to be exact"
The apprentices gasped.
"Are we in a prophecy?" Sunpaw asked.
"I was just getting there" Bramblestar answered "Just after Starpaw destroyed the fresh-kill pile, Jayfeather received a prophecy" He motioned for Jayfeather to speak.
"Eagle will destroy the star if not stopped by the moon, sun, dusk and dawn"
"I'm going to be destroyed?" Starpaw choked "By an eagle?"
"And we're going to save you" Dawnpaw comforted her "don't worry"
"And" Bramblestar continued "During some of your training, weird things happened"
"Like Sunpaw" Lionblaze stepped forwards.
"What about me? What did I do? Was it awesome?" Sunpaw inquired. Then he tilted his head a little "Is that what made you throw me into the lake?"
"You were on fire" Lionblaze said "Though you didn't burn me or the Shadowclan cats, it was fire."
"Really? Is that why they were in a weird lighting?"
"Yes"
Then Featherwind stepped forward.
"During Dawnpaw's training, she was learning to climb trees"
"And I felt seriously nauseous." Dawnpaw piped up "Then everything started to get dizzy and all of a sudden there were winds swirling around me and I couldn't stop them!"
"Until Featherwind calmed her down" Bramblestar noted.
"As for Starpaw" Jayfeather mewed "We all know what happened." He paused "What about you two, Duskpaw Moonpaw?"
"Well, I can make the earth shake" Duskpaw said.
"And I can't do anything" Moonpaw groaned "Looks like it's an all but one litter-mate prophecy again"
"Don't worry" Jayfeather said "You might have a power"
"But I don't! Moonpaw wailed "And it's not fair"
"But you might" Sunpaw said "I believe you will"
"I don't and I probably never will! This isn't fair. Starpaw can shoot stars, Sunpaw can burst into flames, Duskpaw can move the earth and Dawnpaw has the power of winds, and what do I have? Nothing!"
"Calm down, it's not so bad" Featherwind started "I don't have-"
"Yes you do. You're perfect"
"No I not" Featherwind said, almost too quickly.
"Well practically. Why do you always hunt prey and get all you aim to catch."
Moonpaw was getting more agitated "You guys wouldn't understand, you all have powers and Bramblestar's leader. I am nothing"
And with that she began to cry, and glow.
