Sweet Dreams {Snowstar, Raven, & Snowkit}

SEABIRD
I'm a lost soul at sea.

The starry river swirled at her paws, the she-cat slowly waded through it. Even in Starclan she wasn't too fond of water. Snowstar had sent her of all cats to go and fetch her daughter. It was almost unbelievable that she a, Thunderclan cat, would have to wake the deceased leader's kit.

Seabird padded into camp, everything was quiet. Not even Crimsonclaw noticed her as she slithered through the entrance, and he was on guard duty. Your dead! Remember that. The thought hit her like a bullet. She remembered her death as if it had been only a few seconds before. The flashing teeth, bloody claws, and vicious snarls.

A shiver snaked it's way across her body. Death was something she wouldn't want to relive, never again. It took her only a second to recognize the apprentice's den. Sliding into the den she found the blind kit almost immediately.

The little kit was beautiful against the moonlight, while her white fur was nearly perfect, an exact copy of her pretty mother. Sitting down she bent down and licked Snowpaw across the forehead,
"Snowpaw, wake up." she breathed quietly. Licking her forehead she spoke once more,

"Snowpaw."

SNOWPAW

^{I’m not blind I just can’t see you.}

[/center]

Snowpaw moaned as she felt something lick her forehead, Now what? Stretching out her front paw she unsheathed her claws and dug them into the soft moss that covered her nest. With a heavy sigh slowly opened to see only the same darkness that she had seen her whole life.

She knew she could never see what a fish looks like or any other kind of prey. Never would get to see the sun set behind the hills or see it rise once more to mark a new day. The worse about being blind at birth was that she never got to see what her mother or father had looked like, and would never get to see what her siblings looked like.

Snowpaw shook her head clearing out all the negatives nightmares that would haunt her for the rest of her life. Snowpaw sniffed the air as an unfamiliar scent drifted toward her. A breeze stirred up as Snowpaw heard a very faint voice. Cocking her head she looked up toward where she had heard the voice, opening her mouth the scent was still strong and wasn’t any Riverclan scent that she had grown used to. Instead the scent smelled of the forest… Thunderclan?

Even though Snowpaw hadn’t been made an apprentice for a full day she had heard how the forest smells musty, it also held the scent of mostly mouse, and leaves. Snowpaw slowly lifted herself to her feet, and stepped out of her nest barely ignoring her sister that laid right by her. Snowpaw perked her ears as another gentle breeze bushed her cheek.

The little she-cat rose without question, as if she already knew what was bound to happen. Smiling slightly Seabird laid her tail gently across Snowpaw's shoulder,
"Follow me." she whispered, a soft breeze followed her voice, stars gathered at her paws as she followed the trail she once led.

Leading the she-cat forward she left the camp, through the stream she waded and when she reached the regal snow white leader she let her tail drop. "Snowpaw, your mother wishes to speak with you." Taking a few steps back she let herself settle into a sitting position, eager to watch the transformation.

Snowstar herself was sacrificing her own sight just for her daughter, while Snowpaw herself would gain the one thing she's always longed for. It was a move only a mother's love could complete. Snowpaw had to keep living strong for her mother, and only that could be done with the use of her sight. The clans would be surprised, but most cold consider it a miracle.

Snowpaw pinned her ears against her head as another voice spoke up, What is going on? Am I dreaming this? What I couldn’t be dreaming all I see is darkness. Blinking slowly Snowpaw felt a light touch on her shoulder which made the snow white apprentice flinch.

She hesitated not sure if she should follow or stay in the den, but something deep down told her to go. Taking a deep breath Snowpaw walked forward depending all on the thing that was leading her.

When they reached the stream Snowpaw poked the water first with her front paw and slowly walked into it until it was to deep that she had to swim to make it to the other side. Snowpaw stopped when they got to the other side, What am I doing? I don’t know what this thing is or where it is taking me! Snowpaw gulp and took a shaky step forward knowing that there had to be a good reason to get dragged out here.

Almost has soon as they had crossed the stream the thing that was touching her unwrapped her tail that was lightly touching the white apprentice. And the next thing that came from the voice shocked Snowpaw,
“M-my m-mother?” Snowpaw stared straight ahead with her mouth hanging with disbelieve.

SNOWSTAR

^{I always follow my heart.}

A snow white figure waited patiently for the Thunderclan she-cat to come back with the Riverclan apprentice that she had asked for. Looking down at her paws she knew it would be the last time she would see her beautiful kits, but she had to do it for her daughter, Snowpaw. She is training to become a warrior and she now needs it more than her.

The white she-cat lifted her head as she heard the two cross the stream; she blinked warmly as the Thunderclan leader walked into the clearing with the small white she-cat. She smiled had Seabird and dipped her head,
“Thank you Seabird, Raven and I are grateful that you brought our daughter here.” She meowed slowly stepping forward leaving the black figure behind her as she went to her daughter. “Welcome Snowpaw, we’ve asked you to come for something very important.” She meowed staying a good tail length away from the kit, just in case she hadn’t forgive her for giving her up to Twilightfrost, a Riverclan queen that Snowstar had been close to at the end.

SNOWPAW

Snowpaw quickly closed her mouth as she heard the former Riverclan leader coming closer to her, she couldn’t look dump in front of her parent with a quick lick her paw she swiped it over her ear. With a nervous gulp she lifted her gaze imagining where he mother’s face was,
“W-what’s so important?” She asked feeling her body shaking.
[/blockquote][/sup]

SNOWSTAR

^{I always follow my heart.}

[/center]

With a soft smile she took one last glance at the dark figure behind her and quickly turned back to her daughter,
“I’m giving you my sight, to help you with your training on becoming a great warrior. Now close your eyes my warrior.” She meowed waiting for the snow white apprentice to close her eyes and as she did Snowstar stepped forward and gently laid her muzzle on top of Snowpaw’s head and closed her eyes.

As silence filled the air Snowstar slowly opened her eyes only to see darkness, with a smile she whispered to the young she-cat that sat below her,
“You may now open your eyes.”
[/blockquote][/sup]

SNOWPAW

^{I’m not blind I just can’t see you.}

Snowpaw couldn’t believe her ears, Was her mother really giving her sight? Snowpaw held her breath as her mother ordered her to close her eyes. Obediently Snowpaw closed her eyes and felt a gently touch on top of her head, and moments later it disappeared and the voice of her mother filled her silent night to open her eyes.

With a nervous deep breath Snowpaw slowly opened her eyes to see her mother’s white coat standing in front of her. With a gasp Snowpaw looked down at her paws and turned her head to look at her back to see what she looked like. A sudden realization went through her body as she stared at her pelt, I do look like her! Turning back toward her mother she smiled,
“Thank you so much mother!” She meowed lifting her muzzle to rub it against hers.

Snowpaw stepped back from her mother and looked at her in the eyes,
“Mother h-how did you do it?”
[/blockquote][/sup]

SNOWSTAR

^{I always follow my heart.}

[/center]

Snowstar purred as she felt her daughter’s muzzle rub up against hers. Her heart lurched when her Snowpaw touched her, This is best for her and her clan Snowstar thought picturing her daughter looking all around seeing stuff that she never saw before.

Taking a deep breath and meowed softly,
“I gave you my sight because I know how much you want to be an apprentice.” With hesitation the snow white she-cat shift her clear blue eyes, “I also want you to forgive me for what I had done.” She whispered shifting into a comfortable position.
[/blockquote][/sup]

SNOWPAW

^{I’m not blind I just can’t see you.}

[/center]

Snowpaw blinked away a tear from her eye,
“Mother y-you didn’t need t-to do that.” She meowed stepping forward, “But thanks and we’ve forgive you, you had to do it for the clan.” She added looking up at her mother with a smile.

Out of the corner of her eyes a dark figure moved slightly in the night, a white speck laid right in the middle, Could that be Raven?
[/blockquote][/sup]

ooc: Okay I'm just going to quite right there and Rainy if you want Raven and Snowpaw could have some time now. And sorry if a lot of this doesn't make sence, I'm tired right now... And no I am not making up an excuse. So yeah I hope this is okay.

<sup>Ravenclaw
Blinded by love

Raven slipped from the darkness when the white she-cat had spotted him, the burning gaze of his daughter piercing his skin. It seemed that Snowpaw had surprisingly accepted the apology of her mother. But why wouldn't she? She was a great cat. She deserved it.

But he was greatly doubtful about Snowpaw accepting his sorrowful guilt. He was never a good cat. He had even abandoned her. Why was he even trying to speak to her?

A feeling. Yes, just a feeling. Never before had he encountered such a feeling before, so that's why he followed it. He didn't know how else to react to it except to do as it had told him to. It was just a little feeling, like a special bond, that dragged him toward this spot. This moment. Like an urge to protect someone you love.

"Now that you have gained the gift of sight, you can now see me in true form."

Silently, he rushed to Snowstar's side, his movement so quick and graceful it was like he teleported there. Resting his blank gaze on the small white apprentice he continued, "I am Ravenclaw, your birth father. I do not expect you to forgive me, but I do want you to know something."

Raven, taking back his warrior name now that he was forgiven by StarClan and by Snowstar's side again, bowed his head, making his threatening structure look harmless. "My apologies to you are great. I was foolish in leaving you and your mother just because of the annoyance of my own clanmates. Do not be anything like me. Live strong and make your Clan proud. Be loyal to your clanmates, and don't let emotions rule over you. Like I did."

Resting his chin on the soft area of fur on the top of Snowpaw's skull he meowed, "Relax." Ravenclaw gave the she-cat a burst of energy, pain and joy mixed in one bolt. After the moment of the abnormal feeling Snowpaw received, he stepped back.

"You now have my strength. I cannot make you stronger physically, but you can use this strength for love. Use it for your Clan and all the members in it."</sup>

SNOWPAW

^{I’m not blind I just can’t see you.}

Snowpaw blinked in surprise at how fast the black Starclan cat could move, and then he spoke. Ravenclaw? So it isn’t just plain Raven like it always been before? Snowpaw looked Ravenclaw up and down and was amaze how big her was. She shifted her gaze down to her paws and slowly unsheathed them into hard ground beneath her. Should I really forgive such a cat?

Looking back up Snowpaw took a deep breath and dipped her head, he was right it was hard to forgive him, but he must have paid dearly for doing such an act like that,
“I-I forgive you Ravenclaw, a-and not because you are my father, but because you told us the truth even though it would have been nicer if you didn’t pin me and Ravenpaw to the ground at the time.” She meowed trying to put a little humor into her statement,” But I also heard that you tried to save Snowstar in the battle, even when you were against us.” She meowed quietly and dipped her head, “A-and I promise that I would never let that happen to me.”

Snowpaw gently closed her eyes as she saw that Ravenclaw stepped forward to her and laid his chin on top of her head, just like what Snowstar before. Snowpaw quickly relaxed her muscles as Ravenclaw had told her and within second Snowpaw felt an odd feeling go through her. A minute later the feeling was gone and Ravenclaw had removed his muzzle and stepped back.

Snowpaw raised her chin as her father told her about the strength he’d given her for love. Why love? Snowpaw wanted to ask, but decided against it and dip her head in thanks. With a smiled looked both of her parents in the eyes,
“Thank you mother and father for the gifts that you had given me.” Snowpaw whispered taking a small step forward and gently licked both of them on the cheek, “We wish you guys were with us.” She silently added.

SNOWSTAR

^{I always follow my heart.}

[/center]

Listened silently as her daughter and Ravenclaw spoke to each other and sighed with relief as Snowpaw did accept her father’s apologize. Now I just hope the others did as well. To be honest the former leader was surprise that Snowpaw had accepted the apology with no hesitation.

Snowstar dipped her head and at that same moment she felt a gentle lick across her cheek. With a smile Snowstar licked the top of her daughter head and lifted her head,
“We wish the same, and tell you siblings that we will always be with them.” She meowed standing up.

SEABIRD
I'm a lost soul at sea.

Seabird gradually drew to her full height once more, flexing her claws in the rich Starclan soil she flicked her tail. "Come on Snowpaw, let's get back to camp." She wanted to show some appreciation towards the old Riverclan leader, she had done such a loving deed.

As she padded past the old leader she rubbed up against her in a silent, yet understanding, 'thanks'. She could feel the vibrant life of Snowstar on her pelt. Stopping in mid-step she meowed quietly,
"Wavepaw, and Ravenpaw still need you love. Even if we don't wake them you can still visit them in their sleep." Turning her sea-green gaze upon the blind cats she murmured, "I know they'll forgive you."

Padding once towards the camp she waited for the couple to follow Snowpaw and her. Even if Snowstar licked their cheeks, or murmured soft words into their ears. Seabird knew the kits would feel their presence. She knew they had been forgiven. The black and white she-cat waded through the water once more, past the guard, through the entrance, there she stood mid-camp.

"The apprentice's den is over there, Snowpaw show your parents where you sleep." And then she was gone just like the wind on a sunny day. Nothing but the shimmer of stars had remained, while Seabird's soft fragrance stained the air.
