Kitten: Nightstar the Actually calm, for once., and Leafsong the mysterious
Words: 680 Words
Music: She-Wolf by Shakira
Notes: I'm not sure if someone plays Leafsong or not, so if she is taken, I am extremely sorry. I had to get this done. I believe she either belongs to myself or Silky. I unno.
As the ginger colored medicine cat of WindClan came out of the medicine den, she stared at the clouds. Her dark honey amber eyes scanned the clouds. It was a bright , unuasally warm leaf-fall day. She spotted a white cloud in the shape of a cat, running. All of a sudden, she saw a sign. StarClan's words whispered in her ears as she stood there. A Running Cloud is thy Salvation, for warned of the darkening day... Her fur prickling on end, she ran to the freshkill pile and grabbed a baby. rabbit. She turned it over to take a bite and stopped. She pulled back in shock. Maggots! she thought. She padded out of camp, touching the parts of the rabbit that didn't have visible maggots all over it. Having lost her appetite, she walked back into the camp and headed straight for Nightstar.
"Yes, Leafsong? You look slightly alarmed." the night colored she-cat meowed to her medicine cat. Her fiery orange eyes looked at the she-cat curiously, wondering. Leafsong plopped down in front of her and wrapped her tail around her paws. She sighed deeply, and looked at her leader solemly. "I'm afraid so Nightstar. StarClan have just sent me a sign. As I saw a cloud in the shape of a running cat, their words whispered in my ears ' A Running Cloud is thy Salvation, for warned of the darkening day.' I'm not entirely sure what they meant, but they did give me an idea. Cloudpaw has done well. He has learned all he can from me, and it is time he earned his medicine cat name. It would be nice if we could have the ceremony today." Nightstar nodded, thoughtful. She had no idea what this sign meant, but if Cloudpaw was getting his name, it was a joyous occasion. She jumped up onto her perch that she used to call the clan, and they just happened to all be in the camp at the same time.
Her eyes scanned the throng of cats, and piocked out three cat's pelts. Snowpatch looked well, though she thought Snowpatch looked a little...uneasy. Gladefeet, who was getting bigger a little every day. WindClan's nursery would soon be having kits. Good. Her gaze finally drifted to the unsuspecting Cloudpaw. Her voice rang through camp, strong, and fierce. "If you have not already heard, Snowpatch is once again a full member of WindClan. She is to be treated with respect, and shown the utmost manners you would give a senior warrior. She has been alive for many moons, and as such, she is a senior warrior. Welcome back, Snowpatch." The clan cheered the she-cat's name, though a few had uncertain looks about them as they glanced at Snowpatch. Seeing as such, the leader went on. "Cloudpaw! Please, step forward. Your mentor has something she wishes to share!"
At his leader's command, Cloudpaw stepped worward. he wondered what his mentor wanted to say. Then, Leafsong padded forward and meowed. "Cloudpaw. You have learned all you can from me, and I am very proud to have you as my apprentice. I have decided it is time you received your name. From hence forth, you will be known as Cloudrunner." She touched her nose to his forhead as she would in a warrior ceremony if she were leader, stepped back, and continued. "The ceremony will not be complete until we travel to the Moonpool with the other medicine cats and have StarClan accept you. The Half-moon is in two sunrises time. I expect you to be ready, Cloudrunner." With that, she was finished. She sat down as the clan cheered his name. Hopefully, StarClan would show him the darkening day, as told to her by the cloud she had seen earlier. Nightstar quickly closed the meeting and went back to looking around her camp.

The Cat// Cloudrunner the A/s/t/o/n/i/s/h/e/dThe Noted// Woohoo! My kitten is all grown up!!! The Number// 228 Words The Song// Shattered (Turn the Car Around) by O.A.R. Cloudpaw stepped up as Nightstar commanded, confused. He looked to Leafsong, and she walked forward and told him that he would get his full name. The clan cheered his name, and he looked around, bewildered. Is it real? Have I actually earned this? he wondered.
In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you
Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you
He looked up again, murmuring to Leafsong, "I will serve my clan well. I will also be ready for journey." Leafsong nodded, though she appeared slightly apprehensive. Does she not think that I can do it?
How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around
He padded away, cheerful but unsure of his abilities. He just hoped that he really was ready. He padded over to Leafsong's den, glancing over the herbs. At that moment, he knew it. Two things, actually. He knew that he would be able to do it, to serve his clan like no other medicine cat could. And he knew that something was coming.
I had no idea that the night
Would take so darn long
Took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you
He didn't know what, but he knew.
He knew that he would need to do something, that Leafpool's worry was triggered by something more than just him becoming a full blown Medicine Cat.
He didn't want to ask her, should he be a bother. Yet there was something about the whole ordeal that made his fur stand on end and his claws tear at the ground. He was fearful of the coming days, now unsure of what the future held.
How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting
Always turn the car around |
