Ch.14: The Discovery
Summary: Lionblaze, Dovepaw, and Jayfeather find out that Tigerstar and Hawkfrost have been visiting Ivypaw in her dreams and training her. Will they be able to convince her to tell Tigerstar and Hawkfrost to leave her alone, or will she continue her training in the Dark Forest? Read to find out.
Lionblaze watched Firestar, as he lost his seventh life.
The other Thunderclan cats that had fought were gathered around the leader, too.
The Shadowclan cats that had fought Thunderclan, gathered around Russet fur who had died.
Firestar came back as he lived his eighth life.
Sandstorm helped him up and the Clan headed home.
“Dovepaw, I don’t think this battle was worth it,” Lionblaze told her.
“What do you mean?”
“Think about it. Would Starclan want us to fight for a piece of land like the abandoned two leg nest? There’s no prey and too many twolegs around.”
“You’re right, Lionblaze. Do you think Ivypaw lied about having a dream?”
“As much as she told about it, I don’t think she lied about having a dream. I think she lied about it being from Starclan. Only one cat could make her do that. Tigerstar. We have to talk to Jayfeather.”
“I’ll talk to, Ivypaw. I’ll get her to tell me who really came to her. Maybe it is Tigerstar.”
The next day, Dovepaw went up to Ivypaw.
“Follow me,” she told her sister.
Her sister obeyed and followed her out into the forest, not far from the river.
“What is it?”
“Ivypaw, what was the dream you had? You were going to tell me.”
“I can’t tell you if you don’t tell me your secret. How did you know the tree would fall? How did you know about the beavers? How did you know about the dog on Wind clan territory?”
Dovepaw sighed. So this is what’s going on. She wants me to tell her my secret. This is complicated. She thought.
“Well?”
“Ivypaw, if I tell you, will you keep it a secret?”
“Yes.”
“I have a powerful gift, Ivypaw. I can hear and sense things far away that other cats can’t.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Jayfeather and Lionblaze are gifted, too. That’s why they know. Firestar knows because of the dream. Starclan sent him a dream moons ago before we were born. They told him that three cats of his kin will hold the power of the stars in their paws. Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and I are the three cats. Now will you tell me?”
“Yes. I had a dream that Hawkfrost taught me some fighting moves. Recently, Tigerstar has overseen my progress,” she mewed.
Ivypaw stopped when she sensed her sister’s fear.
“What is it? What’s wrong?” Ivypaw asked.
Dovepaw explained it to her. “Tigerstar and Hawkfrost are in No Stars. They’re training you, aren’t they? The Dark Forest is rising.”
“What do you mean? They said they’re Thunderclan cats.”
“Tigerstar was Thunderclan before he became Shadowclan. But Hawkfrost…he was Riverclan.”
“Why would they lie to me? I thought they were Starclan.”
“They lied to you to get you on their side. Tigerstar uses weakness to make cats do what he wants. He makes cats turn against the warrior code and Starclan. He’s training other Clan cats, too. We just don’t know which ones. They’re training cats to be ready.”
“Ready for what?”
“Ready for when the Dark Forest cats rise. I better take you to Lionblaze and Jayfeather. Come on.”
They entered the Medicine den.
“Lionblaze. Jayfeather. We have to talk. Follow me.”
The four cats stopped in the heart of the forest.
“What is it?” Lionblaze asked.
“What’s wrong?” Jayfeather questioned.
“And why is she here?” the tabby tom warrior added.
“Tigerstar and Hawkfrost have been training her.”
“Darkness will rise,” Jayfeather recited.
“Oh, Starclan!” the tabby warrior exclaimed.
“Lionblaze, what should my sister do? You know this better than any of us here,” Dovepaw said.
“All I know is that I told him I’d never train with him again. I turned my back on him and he left me alone. But only one cat will know how to stop Hawkfrost. We have to tell the deputy. He’ll give us suggestions. And Jayfeather can walk in your dreams if you want him to, Ivypaw. If that’s okay with you,” Lionblaze said.
“Yes,” Ivypaw agreed.
“Good. Let’s go.”
So they told the deputy everything and he told them what should be done.
That night, Jayfeather walked in Ivy paw's dream.
The two No Stars cats weren’t happy about it.
“I’m not training with you anymore. I’m done. You’re not Starclan. I won’t turn from the warrior code and my ancestors. You’re evil,” Ivypaw bravely told them and then walked away.
Jayfeather walked at her side.
“You did well. It was meant to be,” he told her.
“I’m just glad that Dovepaw helped me in time.”
So that was the end of them in her dreams.
