Warriors: Prophecy From StarClan, The Owl's Kit.

Chapter 18

(Hello everyone! Author here, this will be the last chapter of this book, but I'll be posting the next book shortly after, now it may not have a cover for awhile, as I plan to draw my own this time and am currently either working at a full time job or working on other projects such as "art" even tho I'm not very good at it. Thank you for your understanding and your patience, and I also thank you for reading my silly little fanfic which is just me practicing for actual writing. Thank you!)

The story

Softpaw was still thinking about what the StarClan Warrior said the next day, she wondered if she was going to tell the medicine cats or not. However her training came first so as soon as the sun rose, so did she and Bluefeather.

"Today we're going to go on one last hunting trip just the two of us before your final assessment." Bluefeather meowed in a bittersweet tone.

Softpaw felt her paws tingle with excitement, soon she would be a warrior and her new journey could begin! Softpaw began to swish her tail in a slight circle excitedly when Oakwish came over to them.

"Bluefeather, I'm sorry to bother you but I need you to talk to you." He meowed lowly. "It's urgent. I suggest letting Softpaw go with Mistyheart instead, she could use some practice since Flamestar wants her to apprentice soon."

Bluefeather dipped her head in understanding. "Of course. Sorry Softpaw, we'll go out later together. Go hunt with Mistyheart, and bring back a lot of prey along with you! No goofing off."

Softpaw felt disappointed, but dipped her head and ran off to the Warriors den to find Mistyheart. Peaking in, she could see the large den with several nicely sized nests. There was Mistyheart in one of them, curled up with her paws tucked under her and her tail over her nose.

"Mistyheart wake up! We got to go hunting. Bluefeather can't come with me right now." She meowed waking up the young she-cat.

Mistyheart rose her head and yawned, stretched and got to her paws. "Morning already? Alright Softpaw I'll go hunting with you. To where would you like?"

Softpaw was surprised by the good mood the she-cat was in, sure she was normally a really cheerful and kind cat. But today seemed off. "How about closer to the new territory. I heard some Warriors talking about rabbits being spotted over there."

"Sounds great to me! Let's go." Mistyheart meowed and jumped to her paws and hurried on her way to the entrance Softpaw on her heels. The she-cat currently had a pep in her step today.

"So, what's got you in such a good mood today?" Softpaw asked trying not to sound rude.

"Oh, I guess you don't know. Me and Sandbush are officially mates! Can you believe it? We plan on having kits one day too. I've been thinking about and can't stop." Mistyheart meowed excitedly.

"Wow, congratulations! You're already picking names, I thought queens normally waited until they saw the kits?" Softpaw questioned.

"They do, I'm just doing it to keep my spirits up. Imagining what kits I'll have in the future. You'll understand one day I'm sure Softpaw." Mistyheart meowed kindly.

The rest of the trip was silent, on the way they caught three mice and a bird. Not enough to please Bluefeather and Oakwish however, and certainly not enough to please Flamestar.

Softpaw heard a thump and went into her hunters crouch and slowly approached the sound, picking up the scent of rabbit. She stalked the rabbit quietly, giving a tail signal to Mistyheart to keep quiet. She approached it close enough to pounce. She then lowered herself to the ground and pounced killing it with one swift bite.
