The thunder that followed the wind (Jayfeather x oc fanfic)

Chapter 8

???'s pov

I trudged back to my nest, collapsing into my nest. I was exhausted after hunting all day and was glad to be back in my nest. I curled up and closed my eyes, drifting off to sleep. Wind brushed my ear and I flicked it. The wind passed again but I could faintly make out a voice. I pricked my ears, listening.
"Falcon" the voice was louder. I lifted my head and found myself surrounded by grassy hills. I got to my paws and looked around. 
"Hello?" I call, trying to find anycat. A faint glowing ahead of me. I slowly approached the glow, coming to an old den. I looked around. I spotted a cat, stars twinkling in her fur. My ears pricked, recognizing her silver and golden pelt.
"Willow?" I ask, looking at the she-cat. She dips her head in response, eyes twinkling. I run forward, running my head against hers. 
"I've missed you so much. I thought I'd never see you again" I purred. She pulled her head back, looking at me with lowered ears. 
"Willow?"
"I'm sorry but..... I won't be coming back to the tribe. I can't come back to the tribe. Not now" she apologized, looking down at the ground. 
"What happened?"
"I was unable to handle my kitting" she responded, curling her tail near her.
"And the kits?"
"Night and Moon didn't make it" 
"You say that like there were more" she nods before turning around and walking away. I hesitated before running after her. We reached someplace I didn't recognise. It was far from the mountains. That's all I could gather. Willow led me to a nest where two cats were curled up together. I turn to Willow.
"I've been watching her. They call her Spottedkit"
"What kind of name is that?" 
"It seems to be how these cats name their kits" I turn back to Spottedkit, watching the gentle rise and fall of her chest.
"Why are you showing me this?"
"Because I was hoping you could find her, Bring her to the tribe and teach her your ways"
"You say that like you weren't a part of the tribe" I object. She leans in, taking in my scent.
"You know as well as I do that I wasn't built to be part of the tribe. Its not my home but it is yours and I hope that it will be Spottedkit's too" she objects. I look at her before nodding.
"I'll try but not now. When things have calmed down" I assure her. She purrs although she has begun to fade.
"I'll miss you Falcon" she whispers, reaching out her nose and touching it to mine just before she fades away and I'm left alone. I wake up in my nest, small trickles of sunlight entering the cave. 'I'll find her. I promise'

Spottedpaw's pov

I returned from hunting with Ashfoot to catch Thunderclan scent in camp. I look around camp and spot the Thunderclan deputy and another cat in camp. I walk over to Harespring who was eating a mouse.
"What's going on?"
"I dunno. Something about a tribe" he replies. I prick my ears. 
"You should go Crowfeather. And take Breezepaw with you" he explains. I get to my paws and walk over.
"Can I go? This tribe sounds like its far away and I've never been out of clan territory before" I insist, curling my tail in excitement. Harespring joins me, standing next to me with his ears pricked. Crowfeather looks at the two of us and then to Onestar who breathed heavily.
"Fine. Crowfeather, you can assess Spottedpaw on the journey" he explains with a flick of his tail. Harespring dips his head slightly, ears pointed down.
"And take Harespring. I'll never hear the end of it if you don't" he adds. Harespring quickly perks up, whiskers twitching with his excitement. 
"Yes. I'm going on a journey. This is so exciting" I purr happily, trying to contain my excitement over the idea.
