The wind was blowing roughly, chill and unmoving. It made Flashpaw in his short fur shiver. He stared up at the Giant Oak, tracing its powerful branches with his eyes. The tree always made him feel small and insignificant. He laughed quietly. Sometimes he wondered if the tree saw everything below it. If it did, it carried generations of secret loves. Maybe it knew how they ended. Flashpaw was afraid to find that out.
He fluffed up his fur and wrapped his plumy tail around his paws. She should be here soon. His heart thumped whenever her name was said. Dreampaw. He would never forget that day, during the battle with FireClan, where she suddenly appeared out of nowhere and he saw her. That had been the true beginning of his life. He was nothing without her. She was everything without him.
Whenever he breathed in, he smelt her windblown fur and saw her pure, starry eyes. The apprentice of the leader of SkyClan. She was amazing. His fur bristled as he thought about anyone finding out. Of course, some cats knew. His father, Forestfur. Her mentor, Dawnstar. That SkyClan tom, Galaxyshadow. But for some reason they were letting it go on unchallenged. But if anyone else found out… Well, there was always the band. His aunt would take him in if need be. She would take any cat in. But he didn’t want that. He wanted to be loyal to his Clan, and to her.
Flashpaw looked up at the sky. Where was she? |
