...........................~The Hidden Devotion~......................... ...........................CHAPTER FOURTEEN........................... ...............................By @fleurxbutterfly........................... ...............................WARNING: Blood.............................. The world was blurry, she couldn’t see, it was the end, the sky was falling, so much pain — she was fine. Carppaw opened her eyes to see a familiar meadow, but no Barkface. Carppaw looked around. A dark shadow was peering at her from a couple tree-lengths away. She looked up to see a dark red-blood tree — and another — and two more — and they were sprouting before her eyes. Large, burly, and leafy, the trees sprouted and sprouted until there were enough to make a /whole forest./ Suddenly, Carppaw was lifted off the ground and into the air and she was above the dark red wood. The dark red-blood color leaked from the leaves, then the branches, then all the way to the bottom until the ground was soaked with it. The trees stood colorless before Carppaw’s eyes, who, horrified, felt the fur on her back rise. No living being was even near the land where the forest stood, not even a bird. Carppaw gulped. She recognized this forest. It was LaurelClan’s territory. She turned midair to see another forest that looked like RainClan’s territory, and then turned again to see a foreign land that Carppaw assumed was GlowClan’s territory. Carppaw was about to turn back to the other forests when she noticed something — it was a pair of blank, white eyes. She shivered; staring at it made her feel like she was staring into cold nothingness. However, there was something familiar about the eyes, something that made the stone in her belly lift. She recalled seeing something warmer, more reassuring, something that made her want to talk to him all day . . . Carppaw was brought back to her senses when she heard herself speaking in an unusually high-pitched voice that seemed to break all silence within her. “The blood has been stored for now. The quest is four, the Clans are three, reunite and bring back one more.”
