Dear Hawk,
I decided that I should follow him, you know, cause it can't get any worse than clawing the leader's fur off.... Right? I'll just pretend I'm on a walk too.... Since he is, what can he say?
Let's go! Write in you later... I'll bring you with me as well, I guess.... And everyone else is sleeping.... except for Russetstar, of course.
Life is boring... Russetstar is just sitting by that big lake, staring out across the water... Actually, is he sleeping? I don't know.... He's not exactly sitting, you know, the kind of leaning on the ground... Actually, it's just lying down. Maybe he is sleeping. I don't know... In fact, I feel sleepy too.... You know, I shouldn't be caught out here in the bushes sleeping....
.... What's my name? What happened? Where are those cats I saw? Where is Russetstar? And where am I? Okay, let me answer them in order.....
1. I'm
Skyler Swiftrunner... Skyfoot for now.
2. I had the weirdest dream in the... Cat world. Whatever.
3. The cats I saw were in the dream. Duh.
4. Russetstar has woken up... And gone back to camp, obviously. Like all the time.
5. I'm sleeping under a bush by the lake... With
spiky things thorns all over my back. Ouch.
Okay, let me pull out those thorn-spikes.... Ouch. That hurt, but I got most of them out.... I think. Now, let me see... The dream, yes, the dream... And that cat.... didn't remind me of anyone. Dark grey fur, yellow eyes - oh yeah, you're just a book.... It's useless to write useless information down.
Me: *wakes up* Where am I? Oh yeah.... By the lake. I better get back to camp - AHHHHH!!!! *screams like a girl*
???: *steps out from behind me* Greetings, Skyfoot.....
Me: AHHHHHHH!!!!!
???: Silence, little one.
Me: But I'm not little -
???: Compared to me, you are merely a newborn kit.
Me: I'm not a pup -
???: A pup?
Me:
Never mind....
???: Well then, Skyfoot. Your tongue may be one of a dog -
Me: I am a dog!
???:
but you are a ThunderClan cat....
Me: ..... Why are you here? And what's your name? And where do you come from? And why do you smell like -
???: Silence. I am Grey -
Me: Well, duh, of course you're grey. Your fur is grey....
?Grey?: -storm. I am Greystorm of StarClan, and I have come to warn you...
The shadows that are cast by a storm cloud will bring death...Me: But -
Greystorm: Silence. Now, come with me. *pads towards Russetstar*
Me: Why isn't he awake? Why -
Greystorm: This is merely a dream, young one....
Me: Cool! That means if we step on his tail, he won't wake up?
Greystorm: .... Yes, he will sleep.
Me: Awesome! I -
Greystorm: What of these words you speak?
Me: .... Nothing. *runs over to Russetstar and starts jumping on him*
Greystorm: Foolish kits. *hurries over* Listen, little one... Remember my words....
Me: Huh? What words? 'Yes, he will sleep'?
Greystorm: ..... *fades away*
Me: HEY! COME BACK! YOU -
Suddenly I felt really sleepy... And I fell asleep, of course. How am I supposed to sleep in a dream, in which you have to sleep to get a dream? Weird... And then when I woke up, I was still under the bush, and of course, it was morning....
Wait - morning? Oh no - they'll notice I've gone! AHHHHHHH!!!! No - I did not scream like a girl - AHHHHHHH! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!!!!!
Okay, now. They've noticed.... But at least I got away with it. For now... And of course, we're eating, so I get this free time to write. Now, boring old patrols and hunting and patrols... Ugh. Now, let me see.... Ah yes, the apprentice thing... I GOT AN APPRENTICE! I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S GOOD OR BAD, BUT I - Okay, I'm overreacting now... AHHHH! I'M OVERREACTING! HELP ME - Okay, stop it, myself... That crazy storm cat thing is getting in my head. What did he say anyways? Oh yeah, I wrote it this morning... Let me check... Okay, now this thing sounds creepy.... Okay, back to the apprentice thing...
I got an apprentice. He's a black and grey tom.... Quite muscular, but he's creepy... And did I mention his creepy, amber eyes? They're so dark, they're nearly red... Or maybe it's just the shadows from the trees. Hmm.... And I wish I got the other apprentice.... but Shrewnose got her. Lucky... And Hareleap's been hanging around the apprentices a lot too.... I have no idea what going on. Okay, now, I have to go and teach him how to get the moss off the tree trunk stuff... See you later, Hawk.
Moss clawing thing training was
awful. I have a couple of bruises (is that possible?) and a scratch on my nose. I have no idea how can that happen on a peaceful day like this....
Me: Okay, Darkpaw (His name's Darkpaw - did I mention that?)... Stretch out your claws and scratch moss off the tree -
Darkpaw: Okay... *stretches out claws and scratches me*
Me: OW! What did you that for!
Darkpaw: Didn't you tell me to 'scratch me'?
Me: No, I said scratch the tree!
Darkpaw: Okay.... *scratches moss off the tree* There isn't much... I think that tree is better. *barges past*
He's a dead big cat! I mean not exactly dead, but still big... I was knocked to the ground...
Me: OW!
Darkpaw: Sorry.... *starts scratching at tree*
The other bruises came from him shoving me accidentally. Ugh... Shrewnose seems to be having a good time with his apprentice, Pebblepaw. Okay, now... We're eating.... Again. Cloudpelt seems to be arguing with Sparrowfang and quite luckily, Snowface and Nightstorm were somewhere else.... Arguing. Ugh. And what in the hawk
is Darkpaw doing walking up to Russetstar?! Oh, wait... It seems Darkpaw just wants to talk... Oh, well. I'd better start eating this mouse. See you tomorrow, Hawk.
