Predators & Prey: Revenge of Skullstalker

Chapter 4

Obsidianwing saw Emberwing pass out after the fight. Obsidianwing also had no energy left, her eyes gliding across the high top of her eyelids.
"Lets come, Obsidianwing, Auraflare carry Emberwing!" Swiftshadow chirped. Aura walked over to Emberwing and they went out of sight as Obsidianwing walked away. She looked back and saw Emberwing being snatched in Auraflares beak, his body drooping down. Swiftshadow lead them to back to the nest, Obsidianwing remained grounded but keeping up at a fast speed, using up all her energy.
        When they finally arrived at the camp, she barely had the energy to keep walking. Her body went limp as she fell vast asleep on the flat grass.
        There was breathing...
        It was familiar...
        A familiar sound...
        Obsidianwing knew she was dreaming. She lifted her head and looked around curiously. She could not see anything but the infinite void of darkness that surrounded her.
        "Oh c'mon please have something exciting." As those words came out of her mouth, she heard multiple cats whispering. Obsidianwing blinked and suddenly was in an uncharted forest, not in territory of Moonflock or in any territory in their forest.
        "Hello? What are you guys saying?" The whispering voices begain to grow louder but the overlapping voices did not come in harmony, but instead were said as if deliberitely not wanting anyone to overhear. Obsidianwing begain to pad through the forest, her head walking along like a clock. She saw nothing at all. She took off from the ground to scout for any other birds, but as she flew, the voices begain to grow louder and louder. Eventually after scouting enough of the land, she landed back and laid down.
        "What are these whispers...?"
        At this point, the whispers were now hard to unhear, but still inaudible. Obsidianwing tried to make out what it was saying, but could not hear anything but giberish.
        Overtop of the whispers were flaps of bird wings, and sounds of calls from other birds. Obsidianwing looked around and spotted a long beaked bird tumbling among the trees, crashing down like one of those earthwalkers vehicles. A loud thud came when the bird plummeted to the floor. It was a large dark raven that has looked awfully skinny and unfed.
        "Ravenplume..." The bird said
        "W-what...?" Obsidianwing stammered, her mind gazing elsewhere.
        "Remember that name." The bird said ominously
        "What?"
         "Remember what happened on that day. Remember Obsidianwing? Remember the time she left?"
        Obsidianwings eyes widened. "Yeah?"
         "I must not say much more. But I can say that you have to think about them. I was killed." The cat fell down and sat, while the dream faded away and Obsidianwing stunned. — 'I was killed' 'Ravenplume' 'Remember Obsidianwing? Remember the time she left?' Those ominous phrases still stuck in her mind, so were the whispers. She couldn't hardly think straight or go back to sleep, by the time she woke up it was already sunset.
        "You okay?" Swiftshadow asked. "You've been sleeping for a bit now."
        "Yep." Obsidianwing lied. Swiftshadow saw the pain in her gaze but said nothing more. They walked off and Obsidianwing was still left wondering what that dream was all about... Or was it just a regular dream?
        "Hey Emberwing?" Obsidianwing pecked at Emberwing.
        "Ow! Yeah?"
        "I had a weird dream where some cat came up to me and said some ominous stuff and its kind of freaking me out right now." Obsidianwing said.
        "What did they say?" Emberwing suddenly seemed out of his sleep.
        "Some stuff like 'Ravenplume' and like to remember the name and remember like a time where Moonfeather left and I have to figure out something that kind of-"
        Obsidianwing was cut off as Emberwings eyes widened and started talking; "I had a dream too where then Auraflare said stuff but it wasn't him but then he said like that Moonfeather betrayed him and someones coming for our flock! Do you think maybe our dreams are somehow corellated?"
        Obsidianwing felt a sudden rush of excitement. "We got matching dreams but then what does it mean do I predict the future and will like Ravenplume and Moonfeather be part of a prophecy and I'm a cat who can have powers-"
        "Calm down Obsidianwing. We don't know if they are truly the same because alot of the time its probably just a coincidence."
        "Okay you're right but its never been like this before and I dont know who else to tell besides you," Obsidianwing sighed. "I feel like I'm special right now but its litterly just a dream..." Obsidianwing trailed off
        "Well yeah... I think its best if you just remember it for later maybe? I don't really know. I have no experience with these type of things. And how do you be special? Like if you're a leader maybe, you lead the flocks and have power over them but I sure hope a leader couldn't be abusing their privelleges for bad..."
        "Alright, I will!" Obsidianwing said, before flying off into the distance...
