As the skies got brighter and brighter, the day began. Lilapaw had another nightmare and she woke up deep into the night, unable to sleep anymore because she didn't want to sleep, being scared and all. She didn't want to wake up her mother since she was just too scared to break the sacred silence which she almost never gets. Slowly, Lilapaw stretched out her back. The noise would begin soon, all the cries of newborn kits, the many mumbles of warriors announcing plans, grumpy elders. Too much! She quietly but quickly snuck out of the nursery. I want to discover! she thought. She was happy about her discovery of the clan's catnip, but she was bored with doing the same thing over and over again.
As she slowly went down the old path, Lilapaw started thinking about her dream, her nightmare. She was walking along, much like she was now, and had heard a sound. She had started to walk faster, feeling that something was following her, sensing all the vibrations through the ground. She was running then, and felt terror streak through her chest as she heard a leaf crunch up into a million pieces. She didn't dare look back but curiosity was tugging her deeper into insanity. She slowly stopped and hid behind a shrub. Just as she did, a bright light shined in the side of her eye and made her squint. Slowly, a ghostly cat appeared and said, “Lilapaw, you have found your destiny!”
“What destiny?” Lilapaw asked.
“You’ll find out now.” And with that, the cat disappeared. Slowly, Lilapaw got up from her hiding spot, but something was holding her back. As she turned, something glistened in the sunlight, making her quickly look away. Slower now, she looked again, avoiding the glint. That’s when she saw it.
