OOC: lol Snowpaw and a riverclan cat named embershine got into a fight in the water so my vat went out to help Snowpaw then she got hurt worse and is now in a coma. Embershine and Snowpaw are friends and Swiftpaw is out cold and has no idea what is going on now. :3
IC: Swiftpaw lied on the cold floor of the cave. There were shivers running down her spine. She gasped deeply. Her breathing was growing fast again but she still didn't move.
"Finally!" She hissed. Then she tugged her paw again but the roots seemed to grow tighter. "Yeow!" She yelped.
"Can you go any faster?" Featherfoot asked annoyed. She really wanted to go home.
Swiftpaw's front left leg twitched and her ears flicked. She was still in a horrible nightmare. In the nightmare, she was being suffocated by the giant paws. There was nothing she could do. The paws were squeezing the life out of her.
Featherfoot sighed. "Thank you, and I'm sorry. Okay? I'm embarrassed about getting myself stuck." She got to her paws and limped grumpily back to camp.
"Swiftpaw? Are you okay?" The words echoed through out her dream. Was that Iceheart? The cat on top of her heard it too and Swiftpaw tried to wriggle from it's grasp. She couldn't break free. The thing dug it's claws making her yowl in pain. "I will not die! StarClan save me!" She yowled fighting the thing. The a golden form of a cat. The creature yowled and melted into nothing. It was gone. She breathed deeply.
"But-but I can't go! I-" Swiftpaw started. Then the golden warrior from before padded up to her. She looked at Swiftpaw with beautiful green eyes. "She's right, Darksun. She can't go yet. There are too many cats who need her," the she-cat mewed lovingly. Then she turned to Swiftpaw. "I know you'll be the best warrior you can be. You've proved yourself many times but do not throw you life away like some warriors," she said glaring pointedly at Darksun. "Now, wake my dear."
OOC: No but this cat was my mother and so...yeah...anyway :p
IC: The she-cat looked at Darksun. "That's not an excuse!" She snapped. Then she sighed deeply and looked at Swiftpaw. "Go ahead and go back now my dear. There are cats who are worried about you. I will see you again someday, but until then farewell my love." Swiftpaw stood there shocked. What had just happened? Why was Darksun here?
The golden cat sighed again. "Wake up, Swiftpaw. Your time is not now." Swfitpaw nodded with shock. Then the she-cat started to fade away. She slowly opened her eyes. Where am I? she thought. Then she saw the shadow of a cat over her. Hollykit! The kit was trying to pounce on her! She rolled to the side and ran into Iceheart's paws. She sighed in pain as she settled down again. "Wh-what happened?" She asked Iceheart weakly.
OOC: Who's my mentor???
IC: Streampaw woke up from her wonderful dream. She got up and stretched. She walked into the clearing and sat down to groom herself.
OOC: Flooded! Recap please.
IC: Whiteheart padded into camp with a few pieces of fresh kill.
Swiftpaw couldn't talk at the moment. She couldn't move at all! Lying on the cold floor was seeping all her energy from her. Mother, where are you now? she thought. She wanted someone to talk to her.
Foxtail yawned and walked into the forest. She'd been asleep for a while and was still tired. She yawned again as she trotted deeper into the trees. By sunhigh, she'd caught a squirrel and a baby rabbit. She had also caught a couple of mice. It took her three trips to get her kill back to camp. Then she sighed and began to groom herself.
The golden she-cat padded up to Darksun. "Come now. Stop being so gloomy. You are in StarClan now and I need you to come with me on a journey into Swiftpaw's dream. She turned to start walking away.
The she-cat sighed. "I have no mate...not anymore, and my daughter won't join me for a long time. My son...he is missing. He has been for years and no one knows where he is. My mate is in the dark forest, I will never see him again! You saw that thing that tried to kill Swiftpaw! That was his shadow! My family has been torn apart for years!" She snapped. Then she turned around. "Are you coming or not?" she hissed.
--Swiftpaw--
Swiftpaw looked up at Iceheart. She smiled. He had saved her life. If it had not been for him, the cat in her dream would have killed her! "Th-thanks," she whispered.
She turned and padded toward the starry forest. Every now and then she would turn to see if Darksun was following. She hated to admit it but she'd been thinking about everything. Darksun had no mate? But could she be with a cat who'd killed himself? It was certainly better than that murderous, lying cat she'd called her mate once. She shook her head and continued padding forward.
--Swiftpaw--
Swiftpaw looked at him and shook her head. She couldn't talk. I'll explain it to him later, she thought. Suddenly, her stomach growled loudly.
The she-cat took no notice. They were almost to there destination. She padded into the cave and looked at the cat who was now shriveled and curled up in the corner. She angrily spat at him. "You traitor!" she meowed.
--Swiftpaw--
Swiftpaw nodded thankfully. She nibbled on the squirrel and lied her head on her paws.
The dark tom hissed at the golden she-cat. "She knows too much and you know it! I will never let her go to StarClan! I will fight forever!" the tom yowled. The golden cat growled with anger. "I knew you would be here, cowering like a fool! Swiftpaw will make it into StarClan! It is your fault she knows what she does and I know you sent that thing to attack her in the tree! You've been trying to kill her!" She looked at him angrily and swiped a paw across his side. Her eyes were burning with anger.
Swiftpaw coughed and cleared her throat. "Iceheart? Could you come here?" she whispered. Her voice wasn't all back but enough for her to whisper.
