Chapter 27 (Jayfeather's point of view)
In the dark and gloomy world that was his home, Jayfeather tried to make sense of the tumble of words pouring from Dovepaw's mouth.
"And then I heard him speaking in his sleep-" the apprentice said in a rush as she completed her story. "-he was saying "Kill! Kill! Kill!""
Jayfeather felt his fur stand on end. "StarClan let us hear him for a reason." He said, and desperately tried to oppress the fear that was building in the pit of his belly. "Breezepelt must want to kill us. He was always-" Jayfeather paused. Dovepaw had never been told, but it had to be done. "-angry with us for being born. His father is ours, too."
Waves and waves of uncertain thought drained from Dovepaw as though Jayfeather had opened a pus-filled sore. He felt the waves drowning him in emotion.
"But why would Breezepelt want to kill you just because you've been born?" Dovepaw asked cautiously.
"He hates us." was the simple answer. Jayfeather felt weak. This was a sensitive subject for him to touch on. I have a feeling that Breezepelt is the center of all this. The medicine cat thought. "Do you know anything else?" He changed the subject.
"No." Dovepaw said. "That's all I found out."
Jayfeather sensed she was hiding something. "What are you hiding?" He asked.
Fear was pouring like blood from an open wound from Dovepaw. Jayfeather wrinkled his nose. To him, fear had a bad smell. "I-I think Ivypaw is part of... the Dark Forest."
"She has been acting strangely." Jayfeather said calmly, trying to keep his alarm under control. I should have realized it myself! He scolded himself. Dovepaw shouldn't have had to discover her sister's secret herself! "I know how you feel."
"Really?" Dovepaw's voice cracked with pain.
Jayfeather nodded. "Yes." He sensed that Dovepaw wanted him to further elaborate on the subject, but he didn't want to. When Dovepaw realized that, she said goodbye and left the medicine den. Jayfeather began storing the dried herbs in the cleft of the rock. His mind churned with worry. What are we supposed to do to defeat the Dark Forest? He wondered. What will Breezepelt try to do to us?
And what does the prophecy mean?

Very GOOD!!
ReplyDeleteOh and do you mind if I post this story on Amazon, of course I'll say that you created it and I'll say with your amazon name (not Jayflight)
And I'll say you did Jay and Dove's POV and I did Lion....is that okay? I understand if it's not.
I posted that on the last chap, but idk if you read that...I posted something else on that chap too...
Im going to wait to post Lionblaze, I still have to think of what the heck I should post.
But I do agree that we should stop sson because when school starts im only on the computer on weekends.
Oh but I kinda have one problem. In chapter 8 Lionblaze figures out that Ivypaw's in the DF. He tells Dovepaw, but she runs off and doesn't belive him.....

ReplyDeleteSure! That's fine! Yeah, with school and all it can be really hard to find time. I think we should have two more chapters, Lionblaze's next and then Dovepaw's last, as the ending.
To comment #2:
I don't want to sound rude, but what exactly do you mean?
Jayflight
In chapter 8 Lionblaze realizes that Ivypaw is training with the DF. He told Dovepaw, but she ran off...
ReplyDeleteSorry about that mistake... inconsistencies can sometimes slip by. Just ignore it.
ReplyDeleteIf you could go ahead and write a Lionblaze chapter, that would be great.
Jayflight
UGH,I am SO sorry I took me so long, but school and alll....
ReplyDeleteLionblaze sat around camp gloomily. He saw Jayfeather in his den sorting herbs and waited a while before getting up and slowly padding into the medicine den.
"I had a dream..." He said slowly.
Jayfeather didn't turn around, but stopped sorting and waited for Lionblaze to continue.
"The Darkforest-" Lionblaze started and paused when Jayfeather's head jolted up and he turned to face Lionblaze.
"Uh-there was an army...and mist. Tigerstar, Breezepelt, and Hawkflight were leading the attack against the living clans, but we- you, Dovepaw and I- were the only ones against them...I think it means that there will be a great battle that only the Three (that would be us) could win..."
"This is not good...Dovepaw thinks that Ivypaw is a part of the DarkForest...it just keeps getting worse and worse." Jayfeather said quietly.
Lionblaze sighed, "I know...do you think you could go to the Moonpool and talk to StarClan about it?"
Jayfeather nodded,"I'll tell Firestar that I will be leaving soon."
Lionblaze nodded then turned and left. He went to the fresh-kill pile and looked at it.
"I'll eat after I train." He mumbled to himself and went to the training hollow.
He trained for quite a while, using different battle moves to attack a tree and creep up on it. When he was done he went back to the pile and picked up a vole.
