Dawnkit's Prophecy pt.5

[arsonispog]

You wake up instantly, jumping out of your mossy nest, your fur bristling and standing on end.
"Ow! Why'd you do that? Hey, are you okay, Dawnpaw?"
You look down and notice that you are standing on your sister, Brightpaw and you've accidentally woken her up and hit her.
"Sorry about that, Brightpaw. Yeah, I'm okay, just a stupid nightmare."
You go back to your moss bed and curl up, but before you go back to sleep, you lick your fur as it settles down. Brightpaw yawns and goes back to sleep. You glance at Brightpaw and Jaypaw and then at the sky. It was still night time. Was that a dream from StarClan? Was it going to happen? You try and relax by going to sleep.

You wake up the next day, feeling a bit shaken from what you just dreamed about. You feel like you should tell someone but you don't know who. If you told someone, they would probably think you were crazy and just had a crazy imagination. Though, you decide to take your chances no matter what. Before you go to hunt, you have to decide who you are going to tell.

You decide to tell this to Brightpaw. She seems very smart and even though it will sound crazy to her, she'll believe you and give you a reasonable answer. You pad over to Brightpaw who just came out of the Warriors' Den. She probably went in there to see Crystalwing, your mother.
"Hey, Brightpaw. I've got to tell you something but don't tell anyone else besides Jaypaw."
"Okay then, what is it?"
"You know how I said a nightmare last night?"
"Yeah, and when you stepped on my head."
"Sorry about that. Anyways, in that nightmare, I found myself in the forest. Suddenly, I hear two voices in the distance. Those two voices were coming from you and Jaypaw. As I reached the both of you, there were these pairs of strange paws and they grabbed the both of you by the scruff and began to drag you away. As I try to run after you, it feels like I'm being choked and dragged away from the both of you and into darkness. And that was the last thing that happened."
You look at Brightpaw as her expression shows that she is shocked but shows no fear.
"This sounds a bit ridiculous but serious. You didn't mention anything odd except for some strange paws. This could be a vision from StarClan but that can't be right because you aren't the leader or the medicine cat so it's most likely just a made up dream."
"I guess you're right. Well, I gotta go and hunt. Bye, Brightpaw!"
You leave Brightpaw and head over to the exit of the ThunderClan camp as Ashstar arrives and you both enter into the forest.

Successfully, you and your mentor caught a lot of prey when you hear something in the distance. You want to check it out but you are unsure of what dangers lie there.


Being the stubborn yet brave cat you are, you decide to check it out. But before you do, you should put your prey away because what ever it is, they will smell out the prey and catch you. So you quickly pad over to the ThunderClan camp and dump all the prey you caught into the fresh-kill pile. Your father notices that you are in a rush after he puts his prey into the fresh-kill pile.
"Dawnpaw, what's the rush?"
You stop yourself from padding back to the exit of the camp and look at your father.
"Uh... I'm going back to check if we dropped any prey on the way."
"Alright then. Don't do anything foolish, okay?"
Your father pads over to the Leader's Den and goes inside. You notice that Jaypaw and Brightpaw dash after your father. Probably to tell him about your dream or their progress in training. You shrug and head out of camp. You go to the place where you heard the rustling coming from. Feeling a bit nervous, you take a deep breath and go forward. You begin to crouch, so that you would conceal yourself even though you weren't matching the green forest colors. As you look at what was there, you see nothing but footprints. But you catch the scent of something familiar but you've never encountered it in real life. You look at the footprints and they don't even like an animals paw. You don't even know how to describe it.

Knowing that you couldn't handle this by yourself, you decide to report it and dash back to camp. As you run into camp, you almost crash into Jaypaw who jumps out of the way quickly.
"Woah! Dawnpaw! What's going on?"
"I have to tell something to Ashstar!"
"Why? Is it important?"
"Yes, it is important! The Clan needs to know!"
You quickly dash over to the Leader's Den as your father perks his head up.
"Dawnpaw! Did we drop any prey?"
He notices the expression on your face, knowing that this was more serious than prey.
"What is it? Tell me the news."
"While I was looking for prey, I found something in the forest. And it had the scent of something that has never lived in the forest. It obviously doesn't belong here. Anyways, the print didn't even look like a paw. And it certainly wasn't the mark from a bird. I'm not sure what it is though..."
"Show me the location of this immediately. And grab a couple of warriors just in case."
You nod and dash out of the Leader's Den going into the Warrior's Den. You choose Flametail and Rushfeather.
"Flametail! Rushfeather! Ashstar needs both of you to come with us!"
They notice how urgent this is by the sound of your voice as you lead them both to Ashstar who is waiting at the exit of the camp. You continue padding, and begin to lead the group to the spot where you saw the footprint. Eventually, you reach the place and your father sniffs the footprint while Flametail and Rushfeather are on the lookout. Your father lifts his head up and you noticed by his expression that this was serious.
"Head back to camp right now!"
Ashstar began leading the way back to camp but with a quicker pace. You began to have this strange feeling that this was a sign or something. You reach camp and your father leaps onto the Highrock to give the announcement about the new creature in the woods.
"ThunderClan! I have important news! There is a Twoleg in our forest! So that means that we need to be more aware when hunting or patrolling. Kits shouldn't go out into the forest at a time like this. If you find anything else that has the scent of a Twoleg, report back to me instantly. And keep your guard up!"

As the days have passed on, luckily, there has been no signs of Twolegs roaming around in the Clan so the thought of that dream was just a silly nightmare that definitely wasn't sent from StarClan. After all the training and hard work that an apprentice must do, you feel extremely tired and want to sleep in your nest forever. Since there are new apprentices in the Apprentices' Den, you notice their size and you look at how big you, Jaypaw and Brightpaw have grown. It looks like you guys are almost Warriors. In the next moon, you guys will become Warriors but what about the prophecy? Who are the destined ones and where are they now?

You go into the forest with your father and a few other cats since you all are on a patrol. Somehow, you stray off from the group yet you don't notice. Suddenly, you catch the scent of a Twoleg. They're back. But what are they doing back here? Even though you are acting more mature, you are still stubborn and decide to check out what they're doing here. Once you are a safe distance from the Twoleg, you see these webbed shiny dens that looked like the perfect size for a single cat to fit in. It definitely was not the size for a Twoleg as they are way too big! Even the little Twolegs wouldn't be able to fit in there. You catch the scent of Ashstar and dash back to him and report to him about the Twolegs with the webbed shiny dens. You wonder, what are they for and will the Twolegs ever leave?
