Sweetpaw’s POV
Sweetpaw looked at the three sleeping figures in the medicine cat den. Every once in a while scars would appear on them, but she didn’t dare touch them. She couldn’t risk the clan’s safety. She missed her sister though, even though she had ignored her for a while, Blossompaw was always fun to talk to.
“Sweetpaw! It’s time to head to Moon Lake!” Speckledheart called. “Coming!” Sweetpaw raced out of the medicine den and joined her mentor. They headed off to where they would meet the other medicine cats. Sweetpaw looked around eagerly for Brightpaw, the two had become good friends despite Brightpaw’s obnoxiousness.
Soon Blossompaw saw Icefoot and Brightpaw appear from behind a hill. “Hi Brightpaw!” Sweetpaw called. Brightpaw rolled her eyes and ignored her. Sweetpaw was hurt, normally Brightpaw would be happy to see her. What was wrong with her?
Icefoot noticed her shock and whispered, “She’s been this way since this morning. I have no clue what happened.” The white tom whispered to her. “Maybe Star Clan will let us know.” Sweetpaw whispered back. Then Sweetpaw remembered what Redleaf had told her about cats becoming possessed. Could that be what was happening to Brightpaw? “Poor Brightpaw, I wonder what is going on in her mind…” Sweetpaw thought.
When they reached Moon Lake all of the older medicine cats took a sip of the water and fell asleep. Sweetpaw noticed Brightpaw didn’t even come near the lake. Sweetpaw sighed and took a drink of the water. When Sweetpaw awoke she was in the forest of Star Clan and a ginger she-cat was making her way towards Sweetpaw.
“Redleaf!” Sweetpaw exclaimed happily running up to greet the she-cat.
“Hello Sweetpaw. There is something important I must share with you.” Redleaf mewed. “Does it have something to so with Brightpaw?” Sweetpaw guessed. Redleaf feigned a look of surprise, “How did you know?” Sweetpaw just shrugged urging her to go on.
“Well you see, the Dark Forest is getting stronger, I can tell the three aren’t dead yet, but they may be soon. At least if they can’t make it to the stone before the Dark Forest finds its full potential. To possess every cat in the forest.”
Sweetpaw widened her eyes, what would happen if the Dark Forest found that out? What would happen to the clans? “I hope they will be able to stop them.”
