『Dark Dreams ~ Chapter 4』 "It's all okay," Sunflowerpetal said. "You're sleeping, of course. All you have to do is go to RiverClan... May StarClan light your- wait... I am StarClan..." Dreampaw giggled. "Of course!" she laughed. "You too! Bye!" She began to fade. She opened her eyes. "Thanks for the treatment," she told the WindClan medicine cat, and ran out of camp, waving to Mistypaw. "Wait! Where are you going?" asked Mistypaw. "RiverClan," replied Dreampaw. "You stay here." She leaped into the lake and began to swim to RiverClan. With her practice, she could now float. She panted, exhausted, as she pulled herself onto the bank. "Hello, I'm Dreampaw," she said to a patrol of cats fishing nearby. "Oh, hello! Are you that new ThunderClan apprentice?" asked one of them, a silver tabby. "Yes," replied Dreampaw. "I got lost on Sunningrocks. But... I don't want to go back. Can I stay with you?" "Certainly! As long as you promise to be loyal to RiverClan," purred the silver tabby. "I'm Silverstripe. This is my apprentice, Gingerpaw, and my friend Lunarmoon, and her apprentice Coyotepaw." "Hi," murmured Dreampaw, gazing at Coyotepaw dreamily. "Hi!" Coyotepaw exclaimed, leaping to his paws and forgetting the fish. "I'm Coyotepaw. Dreampaw, it is?" "Yep," Dreampaw said, blushing. "Cool. I like you! You're friendly," Coyotepaw purred. Dreampaw turned red. "Uh... you too," she said. "Hey, follow me to camp, I'll talk to Brightstar and Shininglight about you coming in," offered Lunarmoon. "Thank you!" Dreampaw exclaimed. She followed the patrol to the camp and to the leaders' den. "She may join," Brightstar decided. "She seems to know how to swim!" added Shininglight. Gingerpaw stifled a purr of laughter. "I'm in!" cheered Dreampaw. "I'm a RiverClan cat!" She jumped with happiness. "Yes, you are!" Coyotepaw celebrated too, and Dreampaw felt herself heat up like she always did when she was around Coyotepaw. "Thanks," she told him. "Don't I need a mentor?" "Oh, I wonder who it'll be?" Gingerpaw said. "Maybe Appleleaf, he's a pretty good warrior. Or maybe Lionstrike, he's pretty good too. Or maybe Shininglight? Ooh, that'd be an honor!" Her eyes sparkled as she thought of possible mentors for her new friend. "I just know Dreampaw will be a success!" chortled Coyotepaw, resting his tail on Dreampaw's shoulders. Dreampaw blushed. "Thanks, Coyotepaw!" she purred. StarClan was right, once again! Next: Previous: First:
