Watermoon picked up a Chamomile flower,  and placed it in front of her apprentice Snowpaw. "What is this herb and what is it used for?" She asked. She was testing her apprentice going through each herb and asking what is it and what it was for. 

"It's a flower called" She hesitated for a moment before continuing. "Chamomile?" Watermoon nodded gesturing her to continue. "And it used to treat an injured eye and ease pain?" Snowpaw said unsure of her words. 

Watermoon shook her head. "No, your getting mixed up with Celandine. Chamomile is used to to clam a cat from shock or nervous break downs"

Snowpaw lowered her head and her tail dropped. "Oh." Sighing heavily she lifted her head to look at her mentor. 

"Watermoon how I am ever gonna be a medicine cat if I can't even remember what each herb is used for!" She wined. 

"Oh, don't worry about that. Your doing much better than I did when I was an apprentice." Watermoon meowed amusement shining in her eyes. Snowpaw gave out a little laugh at her mentor's joke. Suddenly her heart stung at the thought of her dead mentor Thrushflight. She missed her so much!

"Watermoon are you okay?" Snowpaw asked concern for her mentor's well being. Watermoon shook the thought off. "No, everything fine" She meowed forcing a purr. 

"Oh, okay because I was worried for a second!" "Oh don't worry about me!" Watermoon purred,  licking her apprentice's ear. 

She quickly realized that something was different. Snowpaw's fur was rough and dry and her ear felt much bigger than it should. It tasted weird too, sour almost... kind of like blood.

Watermoon looked down at her apprentice only to scream of fear and shock. This was no longer her hyper little white furred apprentice. 

No, it was the body of a dead cat. 

The scenery had changed too. Instead of being the medicine cat den Watermoon was in a war zone. She watched as cat came in charging at another cat, the fight all happened to so fast that Watermoon only saw the last scene. The first cat was slicing open it's enemy's belly, worst of all he or she was doing slowly to watch his enemy suffer in pain. "What a horrible way to die!" She thought to herself in distraught. 

Suddenly she had been teleported to the top what seemed to be the leader's den. She looked down on the mess of a camp, she could see so many cats getting injured and fighting for their life. Literally, these cats were merciless. 

What was more terrifying to Watermoon than the devastating camp was the cats themselves. They're pelts were all either a shiny yellow golden color with white narrowed eyes that looked a lot like half cut circles laid on their sides. Or shadowy pitch black colored cats with red big circles as eyes. 

"Black shadowy cats must be the bad cats, and the shiny golden cats must be the good cats" As she watched the war rage on, her attention snapped to the sounds of fighting underneath the leader's den. Hopping down she looked in the leader's den and saw the most confusing thing yet.

There was a golden cat and a black shadowy cat fighting. But the shadowy black cat had the good cats white eyes while the shiny golden cat had the bad cats red circle eyes. "What is going on?" She thought confused. 

The golden cat had pinned down the black cat and slowly a crazy grin crept on the golden cat's face. Which was odd, because the only facial features that could be seen with all the other cats were they're eyes.

Watermoon noticed that it was getting darker turning her head and body she watched as the sun slipped down beyond the horizon line. It got dark really quickly, much quicker than normally at least. And that was a good thing (at least that's Watermoon thought) because all the dark shadowy cats were melting...just fading away from existence. 

She looked back at the fight that was happening in the leader's den. The golden cat's grin faded and it looked down it's opponent who had a smirk on it's face. "Bye bye" were the last words the golden cat heard as the it also melted away. 

Even though it was limping, the black cat was up in a flash making his way to what seemed to be the high Rock. As it walked to the High Rock it passed right through Watermoon, as if she was a spirit. The Sunclan Medicine cat felt tingles go through her body as the cat walked through her. 

As she was thinking she didn't notice that a muffled voice had started to speak at the same time the black cat was speaking, finally it caught her attention. "What? What did you say?!" She asked her voice echoing through the sky. 

"Beware of the darkness that shall rise when dawn comes but remember, always look closer in the night" The voice said much more clearer and louder this time.

Watermoon blinked and suddenly realized that she was back in reality. "Watermoon are you okay?!" Snowpaw her apprentice screamed directly facing her. Surprised Watermoon only nodded.

"You were acting really weird suddenly. I was asking if you were okay but you acted as if I wasn't there! It was just so strange!" Watermoon tilted her head in confusion. How did she act weird? Snowpaw seemed to understand because she started explaining what had happened. 

"Well, after you licked my ear you looked down at me and did a scream that nearly caught half the clan's attention! You were looking at me with pure horror in you eyes. Than suddenly you started looking at a wall. In the reflection of your eyes I could see two cats fighting. It that what happened?" Not allowing Watermoon to answer Snowpaw continued. 

"You than looked down at the ground as if you were looking down on something. Afterwards you hopped forward and turned you head looking down at a wall again with those same horror filled eyes. You stayed like that for a while until you turned you head and looked at the other wall. Than you shivered and looked to the right and than looked up at the ceiling and said: "What? What did you say?" You stayed like that for a moment and than finally woke up from whatever happened to you!" Snowpaw meowed gasping for breath at the end because of speaking to fast.

"Ohm Snowpaw clam down! I'm fine I just-just had a weird daydream" Watermoon lied. She didn't want her apprentice getting involved with these sorts of things yet. 

Snowpaw looked at Watermoon with disbelief filling her eyes. "Watermoon, I know that you had a dream with Starclan. What did they say?" Snowpaw asked looking directly at her mentor. Watermoon took a deep breath unsure whether to tell or not. "Watermoon come on I am gonna be visiting the Mooncave soon, if i knew about the omen or prophecy you just had I could alert you on any new information" Snowpaw pointed out. "I'm you apperntice I have the right to know!" Snowpaw meowed. Watermoon sighed and look out of the medicine cat den exist. 

"Beware of the darkness that shall rise when dawn comes but remember, always look closer in the night"
