Ashwing's secret

Chapter Three

They had been walking for so long Ashpaw's paw's started to ache.

"We should stop for the night." Storm said.

"Good idea. I can smell a stale scent of badger. Maybe there's an empty sett we can sleep in." Ashpaw said. He started following the scent until he found an empty sett.

"I'll go hunt while you put the kits to bed." He said.

Ashpaw came back with two voles and a fat squirrel.

"Thank you." Storm purred.

"No problem." Ashpaw said as he lay down beside her.

"Goodnight." Storm purred.

"Goodnight." Ashpaw purred. He was going home. He missed the forest, his sister and Silverfern. He drifted off to sleep and a few moments later found himself in a forest.

"Ashpaw." He heard a voice behind him. He spun around to see a white cat. She seemed to have stars in her pelt.

"Who are you? Are you a StarClan cat?" Ashpaw asked.

"Yes, I am a StarClan cat. My name is Rainpetal. I am your mother's sister. I lived in the forest Finnsplash. I must tell you something." Rainpetal said.

"What?" Ashpaw asked.

"When you return to your Clan, Storm must be the medicine cat. She has a gift." She said.

"What about Pinefur and Conepaw? They have gifts!"

"Storm is special.I have already told Conepaw he can no longer be a medicine cat. He agreed and I visited Pinefur who will train Storm and be a medicine cat with her."

"But-

Ashpaw began but Rainpetal was gone. He felt a paw on his flank and woke up.

"Ashpaw." It was Storm.

"Storm! I need to tell you something!"

"What?" She asked.

"I saw Rainpetal! She told me that you had a gift."

"Rainpetal! My sister!" She looked astonished.

"What's your gift? Do you have visions?" Ashpaw asked.

"Yes I do have visions. I also receive prophecies and omens."

"Anything else?" Ashpaw asked.

"No."

"Rainpetal was right!" Ashpaw yowled.

"What did she say?" Storm asked.

"You have to be a medicine cat!"

"What about the kits?" She asked.

"You can wait until they're apprentices." Ashpaw said.

"Okay. We better get going." She said as she woke the kits up.

"Are we going?" Honey asked.

"Yes." Storm purred.

"Yay!" The kits squealed.

As they reached the edge of twolegplace they heard a his behind them.

"Who are you?" It was a big gray tom.

"Ashpaw. We're just passing through."

"You smell like Drizzle." He growled.

"You know her?" Ashpaw asked.

"She attacked my son when he was just a kit. All because he found her prey after she buried it." He growled.

"Let's go." Ashpaw said.
