Chapter 47: Meeting Destiny

     Chapter 47: Meeting Destiny

Petalsplash

     It's been a long time since the gathering and my talk with Bluefur.   She told me all about the uprising in FireClan, and only StarClan knows why I'm involved.  She said I had to be apart of some weird group or something.  So, I did the dumbest thing I've ever done in my life.  I listened to her.  So I've been wandering in the forest towards the FireClan border.  And I've really been taking my time.  I'll look at the plants now and then and there's no one to boss me around!  I've learned so much from the expiriance! 
     All of a sudden, this blur is running toward me.  A real light gray cat.  She looks relieved, and crashes into me because of it.
"I'm so sorry!" she says.
"It's fine.  What are you doing here?" I ask.
"You'd never believe me if I told you."
"You smell like WhisperClan."
"Yep. Soon I won't."
"You ran away?"
"Wasn't my choice."
"You were exiled!?"  Is this cat dangerous?  Is she mean or...
"It wasn't my fault.  Please don't look so scared!"
"Ok, ok.  But that's what they all say."
"Huh?"
"Just explain."
"Well, these two cats, a warrior and an apprentice, love to pick on me.  And they accuse me of fighting them, and luck is always on their side.  And one day Foxstar lost her temper and... ba-bam!  Exiled!"
I can't help laughing.  This cat is so funny!
"It's not funny!" the gray cat says, but she begins to laugh too. 
"Say, what's your name?  I'm Petalsplash.
"Doveheart.  And you haven't exactly told me what a CreekClanner is doing on the wrong side of the forest!"  I laugh again.
"Aparently I'm needed in FireClan."
"FireClan!?"
"Yep.  This cat named Bluefur told me all about some kind of uprising there.  The clan's seperated because of some force called the DarkForest, and I'm needed in some kind of group to defeat them."
"Cool!  I want to help"
"Then come on!  I'm sure you can come too, Doveheart!"
"Awesome!  Thank you so much!"
I grin.  I'm loving this cat already.  I'll be able to teach her all about the plants I know!  So together I tell her all about my story, and she tells me hers.  It's almost like we're soul sisters.  And for the first time in our lives, we each have a friend.
