Part 8: The Dream
Rabbitmoon yawned, stretched and walked out of the den. He went out to the prey pile and picked out a bird. He made sure it was the smallest, saving the plumpest for the other cats. Chance and Branch were doing well in hunting.
He went to find Rosestar to help with the Hunters and Fighters. And Niko.
Niko was doing a great job as Sick-Paw. Rosestar had a little cough a few days ago and Niko gave her some herbs, and she was healed in a few hours!
Rabbitmoon went to find Niko. He saw her and waved her over.
"Hey Niko. How's everything going?" He asked. He needed to know what was going on with his clan.
She shifted her paws. "Umm, Sky's bump is getting bigger. She doesn't know it. And I think something bad is going to happen soon." She looked at Rabbitmoon in his eyes. "Like soon."
Rabbitmoon nodded. Then he laughed. "Oh Niko. You know everything is alright! Just loosen up a bit." He smiled then walked away.
Niko looked after him and sighed. She knew something was up. She she turned and walked back into her den.
Rabbitmoon went to find Rosestar next. He saw her and their eyes lit up. "Hey, Rosestar." He meowed to her, licking her ears. She started purring and brushed her tail beneath his jaws.
"So. About he ranks..." Rabbitmoon started. "How is everything going?"
Rosestar reported. "Everything is fine. I can't wait until Sky's kits grow up! I wondered if they would be Fighters or Hunters. I think they would be both. Anyway... I WANT KITS!" She started bouncing around like a kit. Her eyes were pleading.
"Oh, Rosestar. You know I don't really. But maybe later. We need to watch Sky's kits right now." Rabbitmoon laughed. Her nuzzled her softly.
Rosestar sighed. "Okay. But we will have kits someday." She smiled at him then skipped away.
Rabbitmoon shook his head. She could be so stubborn.
Soon it was dusk and Rabbitmoon told everyone goodnight. Then he went to his den and sat down next to Rosestar, who was almost asleep. He licked her ears and she smiled with her eyes closed. Then she went to sleep.
Rabbitmoon couldn't sleep. He was asleep but was having a dream that disturbed him.
He appeared in a meadow. It was peaceful. He looked up and saw stars. But it was day. He blinked. This was a weird dream.
And the ground. It had little stars coming out of it. And he was starry. Rabbitmoon looked around. Suddenly he saw a shape approaching.
The shape came up to him, smiling.
Rabbitmoon gasped.
It was Scarlet!
She was here! But where was this place?
It was like Scarlet read his mind. "This is Worthy-Cat Place." She answered.
Rabbitmoon gawked. "This is Worthy-Cat Place? But-"
Scarlet shushed him. "I'm not here to explain this place. I'm here to warn you."
Rabbitmoon was puzzled. "Warn me?"
Scarlet nodded. Her face was serious. "Yes. About a threat. To your clan. And... a tragedy."
Rabbitmoon was shocked. "A threat? A tragedy? Can you explain?"
Scarlet shook her head. "I'm sorry, Rabbitmoon. I can't explain anymore. But just know," Scarlet started fading away. "I will be here to guide you through everything. And I love you..." then she disappeared. And so did the dream.
