Warriors: Omen of the Stars: Night Whispers (my version) Chapter 15

Chapter 15 (Dovepaw's point of view)


Dovepaw sighed as she and Lionblaze padded through the thorn tunnel and back into camp. I wish I didn't have to spy on ShadowClan, even if they are proud. I don't like the idea of spying, but I've got to protect my Clan! Oh, StarClan! Please send me a sign!
"Lionblaze," she said quietly. Her mentor turned from the path to the fresh-kill pile, his ears pricked. "Can I go out to the lake? I need time to think." Lionblaze nodded. He understood.
"Sometimes it's like that after a battle." The golden warrior said.
Dovepaw turned and padded out of the camp, toward the lake. She scented the air, letting her extra-sensitive senses find any hint of newleaf on the breeze. It's coming, Dovepaw thought, her paws now whisking over the dead leaves. Newleaf will be here in just a few sunrises. Her paws raced faster over the ground as she imagined the fresh-kill pile full once again and the forest teeming with mice, squirrels, birds, and voles.


Once the gray apprentice reached the lake, she sat down near the edge and stared out over the mass of blue-gray water. It lapped slowly at her paws, wetting the tips of them. She scooted back a whisker-length to avoid the cold water. She looked up at the sky. The sun shone harshly in the blue sky, casting out light but not warmth as it reached sunhigh. The sky was clear, without a cloud showing from either horizon. Suddenly, as Dovepaw watched a sparrow fly about, she saw a cloud form quickly. It was in the shape of a cat's head, and for some strange reason, the cloud looked a bluish color. And, to Dovepaw's great surprise and horror, the cloud-cat spoke.
"Dovepaw, it's okay for you to spy," it said. "I am Bluestar, formerly of ThunderClan and now of StarClan. Get Lionblaze as fast as you can run. Go to the ShadowClan border." Before Dovepaw realized what was happening, the cloud was gone - but the echoes of Bluestar still rang in her head. "Go to the border, Dovepaw. And don't be afraid to use your powers."
With the murmurs of the StarClan cat in her head, Dovepaw shot off toward the ThunderClan camp to tell Lionblaze.
