Willa To Willowpelt

Chapter 5

Finally, the four arrived at a giant cave. Willowpelt gasped in awe of the size of it, while Cobratail just smiled at her. "Inside this cave is the Moonstone. I will sleep by it, and hopefully Starclan will grant me my nine lives and leadership." Thrushwing led the group inside, Willowpelt staring at the massive glowing rock. "Noe I see why it is called the Moonstone." She leaned against Cobratail, a little frightened.

But Cobratail's fur bristled, and he moved away. Willowpelt looked at him confused, but he looked at the ground. "Look Willowpelt...I'll tell you later." Thrushwing was making himself comfterable on the ground by the Moonstone.

"What are you doing Thrushwing?" "I will sleep, and in my dreams, Starclan cats will come to me and give me my lives." Willowpelt nodded and lay down as well. "It might be a while. Im laying down." Thrushwing slept, and Lostfeather dozed off by the front of the cave. Only Cobratail and Willowpelt were awake. Willowpelt looked at Cobratail sadly.

"What was wrong earlier? Do you already have...well...a mate?"

Cobratail sighed and shook his head. "No. You would either hate me or tell Thrushwing." Willowpelt crawled over to him and nugded his shoulder. "Please. I would never hate you, and I wont tell anyone. Please tell me." "Fine. I am not a full cat. I am...I am...a..." He stopped and looked at Willowpelt. "I am also a human." Willowpelt stared at him, a smile forming on her face.

"Really? So you can shift into a cat or human? ME TOO!!!" She stood up and did a little happy dance. Cobratail looked at her, his ears going straight up. "Wow. So, um, how old are you in human life? And do you go to Eagle High?" Willowpelt lay back down. "I am sixteen, but I homeschool."

"Wow. Does Thrushwing know this?" Willowpelt giggled. "Of course! He's my cat!" They both laughed and talked until Thrushwing woke up. They both rushed to him. "What did you dream? Are you the leader?" Thrushwing smiled and purred. "I cannot tell you what I dreamed about, but I am now Thrushstar, leader of Lightningclan."
