Chapter 5
'I walked into my cave to see Kinkajou and Moon chatting.'
I walked to my bed (a pile of rainforest mosses and leaves) and scrambled around a little until I found Shadow. He was sleeping peacefully. I woke him up and gave him the meat I brought with me. He thankfully ate it and went back to sleeping. I did the same.
I woke up in the middle of the night. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't, so I stood up and decided to go for a night walk. My mind was flooded with dreams of others and I decided to just ignore them. I walked to the prey center and picked some fruit and meat. Then I walked back to the hallway of sleeping caves. Stretching my mind, I searched for Qibli and Winters cave. I found it quickly and realized it was just on the opposite side of ours.
I quietly walked inside, not wanting to wake the boys up. I went to the big cage in the cave and whispered;"Don't be scared, it's just me, Shapeshifter. You remember?" The scavenger lifted its head and looked at me, then nodded. I gave him the fruits I picked up in the prey center. "Thank you!" The scavenger said as he started eating.
My mind started to listen to the dreams of others again. Winter's dream was calm but Qibli was having a dream full of worries. He was dreaming of two older SandWings that were chasing him around and throwing snakes. Poor Qibli. I decided to wake him up, so he doesn't have to dream that terrible dream anymore.
I walked up to him and placed my talons on his shoulder. "Qibli, wake up!" I lightly shaked him. He grunted and mumbled something. I shook him a bit. Slowly his eyes fluttered as he began waking up. "You okay?" I asked. "What? Shapeshifter? What are you doing here?" He said, still half asleep. "I couldn't sleep and decided to feed Winters scavenger. Then I noticed you having a bad dream and thought I'd wake you up." I explained. "Oh right." He said nervous. "I'm gonna go back now. If you need anything, my cave is across yours." I stood up and smiled before slipping back towards my cave. Then I heard someone's dream, clear like a conversation.
'I see how you benefit from this plan, but I'm not hearing any guaranties for me. Killing is easy enough, but if I kill them, how do I know you'll tell the truth? And what happens to him if they catch me?'
'They won't catch you.' Said a deeper, more slithery voice. 'Just do it. Do it for me and I'll give you the one thing you want most.'
I froze, staring at the ground in shock. What was that? I wondered. The voices were close by and the conversation was happening between their minds, not out loud. Are there more telepaths other than Moonwatcher and me? And why tf are they talking about killing?!
I decided to talk to Moon about it the next morning. I snuggled into my bed and thought about it. Then the answer popped up in my mind. That's it! It's a dreamvisitor.
Someone had been using a dreamvisitor to talk to one of the dragonets at school. And whoever it was, was planning murder.
