Chapter 8
At night, Thunderheart is dreaming about his memory at the river. He remembered how his brother betrayed him, a message that's been needed to be delivered to his clan and rushing water. In the rushing water, he keeps on gasping for air. "Help!" he called out, went into the water, and gasp again. Before he could call out,
"Hang on," a she-cat voice meowed. "I'm coming," then he went into the water again. He thought that he is already in StarClan, suddenly he felt a tug on his scruff. The tug pulls him up and he popped his head out of the water, he can feel teeth holding onto his fur and it is struggling to pull him up any further. He unsheathed his claws and started to climb up and laid right next to the cat that has called out to him. He coughed his lungs out, then he felt the cat has let go of his scruff and he looks at the cat weakly. He saw very, very pale ginger with stardust-pelt she-cat with a white patch that is in a shape of a star on her forehead and she has turquoise eyes along with a long blue ribbon around its neck. He turns his head slowly,
"Who...?" he mewed, "Who are you?"
"No time," she meowed as she unsheathed her claws and crouched down over him. "Just hang on," then they both have taken a bumpy journey in the river. When it is over, Thunderheart still feels the current is still strong as the river carries him. So, he lay down on the branch when he looked at his side again. The very, very pale ginger with stardust-pelt she-cat with a white patch that is in a shape of a star on her forehead and she has turquoise eyes along with a long blue ribbon around its neck has disappeared without a trace.
Where...? Thunderheart wondered, Where did she go? But he still remembers the scent from the she-cat that has saved him, he suddenly closed his eyes and falls into a light sleep with the scent trapped into his nostrils as the river takes him.
When he woke up, the river is calm as he still lightly sleeps on the branch. When he woke up, he slowly looks up as he saw something that might have looked familiar to him and it is close by. Forest... he thought, ...land... then he slowly got off the branch and swam towards the shore. When he is onshore, he flinched as he groaned in pain. I got to move, he thought. So, I could get back to...the... then he slowly walked forward. His vision has become bury and his head has started to spin, he tries to shake it off and keep ongoing. I must not fall asleep...I must not... all the sudden, he has tumbled over to his right side. What...what is happening to me? Thunderheart wondered as his chest aches as he breathes, and his body feels tight all over. Suddenly he smelled a familiar scent that is right in front of his nose, all the sudden, his breathing is at ease.
"Hang on," someone meowed to him. "I'll go get help," then the scent is gone.
"Wait..." he mewed, "Come back...please...tell me...who...who are...you?" then his world has gone black.
While he is dreaming about his memory, he was lying still and shivering as his fur coat is still wet as he is lying against the cold wet sand. Suddenly he heard some noise behind him, and it is over him. All the sudden, a familiar scent has gone up into his nostrils from the tip of his nose. The cat... he thought as he weakly opened his eyes, ...she is back... once his eyes are opened, he saw something is pink as his vision is fuzzy. He slowly opens his mouth and licked it, suddenly he has realized something. Wait for a sun-moment...this is not the cat's scent...it is... then the scent has moved out of the way. Suddenly he felt something dry has gone over him, and something has gone under him. "Urgh," he groaned in pain.
"I know that you are in pain," a familiar voice whispered to him. "But I have to keep you warm before getting you to the vet, so hold still." The creature continues to move slowly and gently to wrap Thunderheart that is nice and warm; that could keep him dry. He felt part of his head is covered but the rest of his body that is covered is been kept nice and warm. Then the creature has picked him up and hold him, with weak eyes. He saw a two-leg she-kit that has the same very, very pale ginger with stardust-pelt her head and she has the same turquoise eyes that he saw earlier. Slowly, it has dawned at him and ended up to an error.
Her eyes...Thunderheart thought, ...her scent...her fur...her voice...they all were... "...you..." Thunderheart weakly meowed,
"Don't worry," the two-legged she-kit whispered. "I got you," suddenly he felt her moving.
A voice has shouted in panic, the two-legged she-kit has stopped and turned around, and saw something that is lying on the bed of the river. With no fear that he could sense from within her, he felt that she moved down and moved up. He can feel the rush of warm wind against his furry face and the two-legged she-kit has landed right next to something, Thunderheart heard a voice that is from another two-leg she-kit; that is holding a rabbit in the same thing that he is in and cannot understand the two-leg she-kit at all. Suddenly he smells a scent of fear,
"No time," the two-legged she-kit meowed.
Thunderheart heard the other two-legged she-kit has jumped,
"We have to get this cat to the vet, he needs medical treatment right away." The two-legged she-kit meowed,
The other two-legged she-kit nodded as she can see how worried that the two-legged she-kit is and how slowly she understands it.
"So let's go," they both have started to run and hurried into the forest with Thunderheart in the two-legged she-kit's front legs.
I don't understand, he slowly closes his eyes again. How come I can only understand her voice and words instead of the other two-legs? Why? All the sudden, his world went black once again as he keeps on smelling the two-legged she-kit's scent.
For a while, everything went so fast for him to see. So much light, warm water, painful pinches at his legs, and warmth wraps once again till he smells the familiar scent of the two-leg. He has no strength to open his eyes, but all he can feel is that the two-legged she-kit's feelings and everything went to a blank.
Finally, Thunderheart found some strength to open his eyes. It was dark and warm, he looks at one side. He saw a third-quarter moon that is shining upon within the night sky, he gasped. Third-quarter...? He flinched, How long was I been out? Suddenly he jolted in pain, "Urgh," he meowed. I must still be sore from the river, then he felt something warm behind him. He gently and slowly turned his head and saw the same two-legged she-kit from before. She...she was with me? All this time? The two-legged she-kit flinched and opens her eyes,
"Oh you're awake," the two-legged she-kit mewed. "Did you have a bad dream?" Thunderheart did not answer but all he did is to put his head down. "Try to go back to sleep, I'll feed you in the morning." She rubbed two claws on his head and gently rubbed it back to his neck.
Thunderheart purred, Okay, he thought. This is not that bad, he yawned then closed his eyes and fall right back asleep.
