The Unexpected Path of a Kitty-pet

Chapter 16

Cloverleaf was chatting with lynx while the others were fast asleep. "They say they've found another clan! We could invade soon." Cloverleaf frowned at Lynx's excitement. "Whatever, lynx. I don't wanna help them invade. I'll stay here." Lynx frowned at her and nuzzled her. "Fine. I'll talk to Tiger about it, I'm just gonna go to sleep. We have a big day tomorrow." Cloverleaf nodded and smiled at him as she rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.

Cloverleaf woke up, feeling grass under her paws. Was I dreaming? Am I back in Meadowclan? It felt like moons since she left. She opened her eyes to see the grass was white. The sky was white too. Numerous cats surrounded her with cold, glaring eyes. "Hello cloverleaf." Mewed a small cream tabby she-cat. She shot up and backed away. "Who are you?!" The ghost replied "My name is Dawnclaw, Honeysplashes other kit." Honeysplash? "But she's a medicine cat! That's impossible." Dawnclaw shook her head. "It isn't impossible. You were once close with her only surviving kit. My brother, Snakebite." What? That can't be! He doesn't even look like Honeysplash. Dawnclaw seemed to have red Cloverleaf's mind. "Shadestar is our father, but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about."

"What do you want from me then?" Cloverleaf asked, smoothing down her fur and sat closer to the ghost. "I have message from starclan. You need to leave Tigers group and head back to Meadowclan. Their deputy is dead and Shadestar refuses to choose a deputy." Cloverleaf blinked. Starclan? But she doesn't believe in starclan! At least, she doesn't think so. "So what? I'm supposed to go back so he'll choose me?" Dawnclaw nodded. Cloverleaf shook her head, looking for a way to escape starclan. "I can't! I'm a rogue now. It's too late. It's almost been a season now and they probably won't remember me." Dawnclaw started to look worried. Cloverleaf didn't understand what the big deal was. Stormchaser would be a wonderful deputy! "Alright...I see nothings convincing you." Dawnclaw murmured under her breath. Cloverleaf snorted. "Glad you figured that out." Dawnclaw tilted her head innocently. "Well you don't wanna raise kits in this environment, do you?"

Cloverleaf stared at Dawnclaw. "What do you mean kits?" She curled her tail around her belly. Surely she doesn't mean... Dawnclaw laughed, flicking her tail as she sat next to Cloverleaf. "Your expecting kits, Cloverleaf. The two-legs will take them away as soon as their born." Cloverleaf stared at her belly, curling her tail in fear. Id never be able to spend a minute with them...She looked at Dawnclaw worriedly, pacing around. "Well what do I do? I cant run that long."

"Then walk. You need to run back to Meadowclan."

"But when?"

"Right now. Everybody's fast asleep."

"Ok. Thank you Dawnclaw."

"Anytime."
