Endless Time : Chapter Two : Book One

Instructions

(We have a few new characters joining.) Lost’paw spent her morning and afternoon training. Nobody had noticed her odd behavior, until before Dawn. “Where are you going, Lost’Paw?” Braken’paw meowed, his ears flicking. “Late night hunting. It would be best to have more food for tomorrow, am I right?” She responded, smiling softly. “Anyways, see ya soon! Also, can you cover for me while I’m gone?” “Yeah!” Braken’paw giggled as she left campus. She arrived at SnakeRocks. She saw a figure in the shadows. She creeped forward curiously. “..Hello.” They spoke, making her jump a bit. “Did you have the dream too..?” “..Yeah.” She responded, her ears bent down. “Where are the others..? They’re supposed to be here soon.” The figure spoke. “I don’t know. Also, I’m Lost’paw. Who are you?” “I’m Half’Shadow.” Half’Shadow spoke, their tail flicking. “Nice to meet you.” She smiled at Half’Shadow. “You too, I guess-“ “Hiii!” Another cat bounded towards them, smiling. “I knew StarClan wouldn’t lie!” They giggled. “I’m Mist’wing!” Mist’wing cheered, clearly excited. “I’m Lost’paw and this is Half’Shadow.” “Why was a mere Apprentice chosen?” Half’Shadow asked. “I don’t know.” She replied, her ears bending down. “Well, we just have to wait for a Riverclan cat!” Mist’wing meowed happily. They had to wait about 30 minutes. A short and skinny cat stumbled into Snakerocks. Was this the last cat? Probably. “H-hello..” They spoke. It seemed like they haven’t eaten in a while. “Are you okay..?” Mist’wing asked, concerned. “Y-yeah, Riverclan just has a prey shortage.” “That’s not good. Here, lemme catch something for you. It may be against the code, but you need it.” Lost’paw dug her paw in between two rocks, snatching up a mouse that was hiding. “Here.” She tossed it towards the newcomer. “What’s your name?” She asked as they quickly ate the mouse. “I-it’s Moss’Talon..” They responded after they ate. “I assume you guys are in the prophecy?” “Yep.” Half’Shadow responded. “I’m Half’Shadow and these cats are Lost’paw and Mist’wing.” Half’Shadow introduced the two before yelping as a cat tackled them. “Ah!” Half’Shadow yowled. “Quiet down!” The cat hissed. “Who are you?!” Mist’wing gasped as she said that. Everyone was taken by surprise because they thought everyone would be asleep. “Shut up!” They hissed, nicking Mist’wing’s nose with a claw. “Hey!” Lost’paw hissed. “Just be quiet!” They did it again. “Listen, I just heard a noise and went to check it out. It’s not MY fault random cats are sneaking out in the middle of the night!” They whisper/hissed. Lost’paw sighed. “Get off of Half’Shadow and leave us alone.” She was rather calm for an apprentice. “We have something to deal with here.” She lied. “There’s apparently a giant snake here.” She lied again. “Well..okay. But if I see you hear in the middle of the night again, I won’t hesitate to attack.” They padded away. “Wait. What’s your name?” Lost’paw asked before they slumped into the shadows. “Melting’Fate. Why?” “No reason, I just want to know everyone before tomorrow’s gathering. Mom- er- Missing’star said that if I keep up the good work, I can go to the gathering.” “Ah, I see.” Melting’fate then left. “We should get going back to our camps. See ya, and we should meet up again tomorrow, okay?” “Okay!” Everyone cheered quietly as they left. She padded into the apprentice den and curled up in her moss nest, falling asleep.
