"Hello." a voice says. I open my eyes ever so slightly, and groan. "Not you again. Why are you following me in my dreams?" I
ask, staring at the two cats that haunt me whenever I try to sleep - Bones and Chase. We'd first met five dreams ago, where I
tried to catch a bird in the dream meadow. Chase had stopped me, telling me it wasn't right. Bones appeared a few minutes
later, startling me so much I nearly woke up. They both turned out to be quite kind-hearted fellows, but I never fully trusted
them. You don't trust cats who follow you in dreams.
"Because we can help you. Help you find what you're looking for." Bones explained. I tried not to cry out loud. "Oh, for
Twinkleclan's sake," I whisper. "You tell me that every day. But I'm not looking for anything!" That was a lie. I was looking
for an ancient spellbook that could help me get my left front leg back. But this.. this was a dream. How in the world could I
find a spellbook in a dream?
I was born without my left front leg. I guess Twinkleclan knew I wouldn't be such a good warrior. Because I didn't want to be
a dream healer apprentice (sorry, Mosslily and Saltwater), Silverstar decided that I should become a librarian apprentice so
I could be able to experience adventures, but through books. Rapscallion has been a great mentor to me so far, but, being
me, I wanted some real adventures. I could find the spellbook.
I got ready to flee from Peaceclan, but that night I had the dream of Bones and Chase and the bird I tried to kill. This had
stopped my plans. The dream cats knew what I was seeking. And when they showed up every time I fell asleep, I decided to
try and get some information out of them.
"Oh, come on. We know you're after the spellbook." Chase finally said, grinning.
