The First Sign

Marigold gathered her herbs quickly and quietly, she had always been the quiet type. She was gathering herbs next to the Waterfall of Life. This waterfall gave all the plants and animals here enough water to survive. If it ever got plugged up, everything would die, until the next rain anyway. Soon, Marigold finished, but when she looked up, she didn't see the waterfall. She saw a dried up waterfall. She looked behind her to see the town crumbling apart and everything was on fire. Kits wailed and students cried as familes fought each other for food. Then, someone touched her shoulder. She jumped but when she turned her head to see who it was, everything went back to normal."Oh, Deer! What are you doing here?" She asked her sister."I went to check on you. You've been out here for 3 hours you know." Deer responded."Oh, well, time seems to go by to fast." Marigold meowed before nervously laughing."Alright, well it's dawn. We should get home before Father and Mother get angry at us." Deer meowed before taking off. Marigold picked up her basket of herbs before setting off after her sister.

"We're home! Hunterstar! Doctorstar!" Deer yowled at the door of their home. Yes, it was true, they were the kits of 2 leaders. In town their are always 4 leaders, one for the hunters, one for the doctors, one for the teachers and one for the warriors. Deer was a hunter like Father and Marigold was a doctor like Mother. Soon the door opened to reveal their Father."There you are, Deer and Marigold! Come in." Hunterstar meowed to his daughters. Deer immediately put her basket down on the dining rock. Her sister's basket was full of 4 rabbits, one for each of them. Marigold put her basket down in the kitchen, where her Mother washed them and put them in a cold rock. "Dinner time!" Marigold heard her Father roar across the house. Marigold walked over to the dining rock and sat down on a rabbit fur mat on the ground next to the rock. She picked up a rabbit and started to bite into it."How was your day today, Deer?" Her Mother asked."Good, we caught 8 rabbits, 5 birds and a deer." Deer said through a mouthful of rabbit."What about you, Marigold?" Her Father asked. Marigold wondered if she should tell them about her day dream earlier. No, I don't want to cause a panic. She thought.".......Fine." Marigold ended up meowing. I'll tell them if it happens again. Marigold thought.
