Glorypaw was dreaming in her den. Suddenly, the pained shriek of a cat in pain ripped through the air, followed by a river of blood. Glorypaw tried to scream and run away from the river, but she can't do anything other than stand there, horrified as she watched one cat slaying another. Then, a voice chanted in her head.
Harmony and peace shall soon be disrupted,
The forest is in danger.
If StarClan is to do anything about it,
A cat from each Clan must be sacrificed.
The choice is yours,
Make the sacrifice or loose everything.
Gasping, she awoke from her dream. Scrambling up, the first ting she did was to poke her head out of the medicine cat's den to see if the clan is acting... well, normal. All seemed fine. She then thought that she'll ask Darkmask if he received the same dream. Creeping into her mentor's den, she quietly crouched beside the body of the medicine cat. "Darkmask!" she hissed, her pupils wide with fright. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and she was scuffling her paws from side to side. This is not like Glorypaw at all.

Darkmask was already wide awake. His eyes were as wide as the moon too. The same dream seemed to have wandered his apprentice's night too. A cat from each Clan must be sacrificed. The words echoed in his head over and over.
"Glorypaw, it seems you too had the same dream?" Darkmask asked calmly, but inside his heart is beating furiously.

"Don't pretend, Darkmask." Glorypaw meowed, her tail swishing from side to side. "I know that you're scared too." Sitting up, she gave her chest area a few nervous licks. "What do you think it means?" she asked, her pupils still wide as the full moon. "And do you think that the other medicine cats got the same dream? Should we tell Ravenstar?" She fired questions at Darkmask. If the other medicine cats got the same dream... then it must mean something!

"Gloypaw, calm down!" Darkmask stared at Glorypaw while a chill ran down his paws. "I'm not sure if we should yet. Maybe we should find out if the other medicine cats know about this . But, don't spill any words to anyone yet."
His tail curled around his paws neatly, but his fur shook. He looked into Glorypaw's eyes, the same questions repeating in his mind. What did StarClan mean?

(** Heh heh, Dreamy--The Dreadful Dream XD **)
"Bu-bu-but..." Glorypaw started. "Aren't we suppouse to tell the leader of all of our dreams?" she meowed pitfully. But she saw the logic in Darkmask's words, and sighed, her mind clouded with greif. "But it said sacrafice!" she meowed pitfully, her body shaking even harder now. Pressing herself against Darkmask, she looked into his eyes. "Do you think that Ravenstar got this dream too?" she asked. Looking up, she saw a few glimps of the sky through the medicine cat's den. Starclan, if this is a joke, then it's not funny!

([|Hahaha!!! ;D...I'm not that dreadful, am I?|])
"I don't know." Darkmask admitted. "Should we tell Ravenstar? What if it didn't mean anything?" His head was filled with confusion and frustration. His head pained everytime he thought about it, and his heart beat with confusion.
"Oh, Glorypaw. What are we going to do?" Darkmask groaned.

"Well, if we both got it, do you think that it means nothing?" Glorypaw meowed shakily. Then another thought struck her. "What do you think is the danger to the forest?" she meowed. "I can't think of anything extreme enough for a clan to sacrafice one of their cats!" Another thought struck her. "And what if one cat isn't enough?" she wailed. She just didn't care if another cat heard her. They will find out soon enough, anyways. "Darkmask, I'm so confused!"

"We shall talk to Ravenstar in the morning." He decided. It's not just a joke. Darkmask thought in frustration.
"We can only wait for now." He meowed sternly and turned his eyes at the moon. It was not full yet. Then he turned to his apprentice again.
"Go back to sleep, Glorypaw. I'll call you in the morning."

"I--I--I--I'm afraid to go to sleep." Glorypaw meowed softly, her large orange ears drooping down. "I'm afraid that I'll receive that dream again." she added. Looking up at Darkmask, she meowed softly "May I please please please stay in your den tonight with you, Darkmask?" A hint of fear creeping into her voice. No, not a hint of fear--a wave of fear. Lots and lots of fear. Fear-scent are coming off of Glorypaw in huge waves. Even the smallest of kits can smell it.

Darkmask worried about his young apprentice, since she just got appointed.
"Of course, Glorypaw." He gazed at the bright cat with a wise smile on his face, and his eyes were as soft as a queen to her kit's. "Why don't you sleep here," Darkmask lead her to a pile of moss with his tail, "It's the comfiest!" Which was Darkmask's bed.

Glorypaw settled down gratefully, her eyelids drooping down before she even thought about it. "Thanks, Darkmask." she meowed gratefully, before being swallowed up into darkness.

Darkmask also fell into sleep, but before he closed his black eyelids, he took a glance at Glorypaw. She was so young, and so gentle. Glorypaw was one of Darkmask's closet friends. And Darkmask would not want to lose her. He touch his nose to her flank one last time before he dropped down onto the pile of moss.

Glorypaw fell into a dreamless sleep, her body twitching every now and then. The moon rose high above the medicine cat's den, spilling small shafts of moonlight into the cave through the tightly woven ceiling. It illuminated the new medicine cat apprentice, giving the orange apprentice a heavenly orange glow. It also reflected off of the frost that had settled not far from where Glorypaw was sleeping, clear surfaces gleaming like jewels. To any cat watching the scene, it looked heavenly--a small, brightly-colored apprentice surrounded by jewels of frost. But Glorypaw felt anything but heavenly. Sweat poured out of her small pads, almost forming a pool on the moss bedding that Darkmask had lent her. Sure, her sleep was dreamless, but the nagging feeling of dread lingered on every corner of the forest, spreading like a disease to every cat.

Darkmask woke up as soon as Glorypaw kicked Darkmask in the hinds. Darkmask jerked up and let out a little yowl. He was sleeping right next to Glorypaw all this time, and he saw frost forming under his paws. He then turned his head towards Glorypaw, who was still fidgeting in her sleep. She was so heavenly, with her glimmering pelt.
"Glorypaw! Wake up!" Darkmask meowed.
((I just had a crazy idea...what if Darkmask and Glorypaw...<3?? After all, they're not that far apart from each other. It could be forbidden love @.@!!! They could hide it....and not have kits...but that's just a crazy idea...))

(** OR--they can have kits! Ooh, this is good! **)
"What?" Glorypaw gasped, bolting straight out of the moss bedding. She looked around herself with wide, crimson eyes. Then her eyes fell on Darkmask. "Oh, it's only you." She meowed, her ears flattened straight against her head in embarresment. Settling down, she gave her chest area a few nervouse licks, her cream-colored tail sweeping up the moss by it's flickering. When she was finished, she looked up at her mentor. "When are we going to the Moonpool?"
