Snowpaw's Story

Nightfur woke up, the light seeping through the leaves meeting her groggy eyes. She mewled, stretched, and stood up. She wobbled out in front of the kit den, and sat down to groom herself. She yawned and observed the other kits playing around. She grinned, and shook out her fur, and bounced over to the other kits. She saw Snowpaw observing from a distance. She smiled at him, and play fought with the other kits. One of the kits suggested that they hunt mice and bugs. They all agreed, and sprinted to the edge of the camp. Everybody knew of the badger attack now, and kept their kits under close guard, and were not allowed to leave the clan camp.

The kits and Nightfur played and had their fun, but got hungry, and they had only caught one mouse's tail and a cricket. They resorted to walking back to the adults and getting their food from them. Nightfur didn't mind though. Food was food, and she loved food! After their snack, Nightfur got bored of the group, and wandered around the camp. She took a deep breath in, and let it out again. She sighed, sad because any kit caught trying to go out without an adult or a teen would be sat back in the den for a day. So Nightfur sighed and walked over to Snowpaw's den. She flopped down next to them, and they sat together in silence for a while, only talking for a few brief sentences each such as"How's the other kits?" and "Have there been many wounded cats lately?". It wasn't exactly gripping, but they both didn't really know what to say, so they sat there, and basked in the sun.

Nightfur rolled onto her belly, and scanned the camp from her and Snowpaw's sunbathed rock. She saw all the kits bouncing around, then being dragged back by their mothers to be groomed and fed. She scrunched up her face, wishing she still had a mother to do that to her as well. Then she quickly looked in another direction and saw a mottled tail disappearing into the trees, and her face lit up. She glanced at Snowpaw, and saw he was asleep. She grinned mischievously and sprinted to her special tree to find Kioni.

She got to the clearing without getting lost this time, and bounced over to the tree. She saw Kioni sitting on a branch and clambered up next to him. "Hey Kioni!" She grinned and pawed his ear, one of the few things that wasn't wounded. "Are you better? I hope you are! Ooh ooh ooh! Guess what?! In a couple of weeks I'm going to be a teen like you!" She grinned and sat in her little hollow. She smiled, and groomed herself. "All the others say I have to act more mature now, but I'm not sure I want to." She huffed and flopped her head down. She smiled at Kioni, and batted at his tail. "I'm not supposed to be out here, but someone said they saw the badger running far far away on the same day you attacked it! So they think it might be saferish." She wriggled and got into a comfortable position, ready for Kioni's responses and news from Riverclan.

Nightfur looked up at Hazel, eyes filled with tears. "Just... Leave me alone OK?" She wriggled away from the older cat, and moved off back towards camp. She cried and cried, her heart broken. She ended up sprinting back instead, and got there pretty quickly. She dove into the kit den, and curled up. She let all the tears come out, and nestled in among the grass, falling asleep. Snowpaw came to check on her, and frowned, worried about her. He lay next to her, and kept her warm. The final weeks of Autumn are often the coldest.

Nightfur hopped onto Kioni's back, gripping on, but trying not to hurt him. He took off, and soared into the sky, high above the canopy. She closed her eyes, the wind rippling through her fur, tickling her slightly. She smiled blissfully, and opened up her mind to the trees below. Their whispers were much easier to hear up here, and there were more of them to hear. The bustle of trees talking about the rain and minerals in the soil comforted her. Even though there was enough voices in her head equal to the two clans 10 times over, they weren't noisy at all. She felt Kioni's wings beating and his muscles flexing underneath her, and his mottled fur rippling. She smiled, feeling his warmth.Why do I always feel like this when I'm around him I think of him? She was puzzled still, confused by everything happening at the moment. She sighed, and let all her worries float away with the wind. Letting herself go, she smiled again, and opened her eyes to see that Kioni was landing.

Nightfur lightly jumped off of Kioni, landing on ground again. She almost fell over from the sudden change, but soon regained her balance. She turned around and smiled at Kioni, her eyes flashing with joy. "Thanks Kioni, I had a lot of fun these past two days." She grinned at him and he grinned back. "Um... About back there... I sh-should have moved out of the way, I'm sorry." Nightfur's muzzle went red, and she looked down at the ground, avoiding awkward eye contact. She did eventually look up though, and smiled. "Anyways, goodbye Kioni." She paused for a moment and walked slowly back to her camp. She looked back over her shoulder, and smiled softly, before going through the bracken tunnel that was the entrance to her home.

As soon as she entered, Snowpaw was right in her face, scowling. "Do you know how worried I was?" He frowned, his ears flat against his head. Nightfur scowled back. "Well maybe I did, or maybe I didn't!" She hissed and put her tail straight, her hair bushing up. "I was perfectly safe anyway! And why are you so bothered?! Is it because you're the one that picked me up and brought me back?! WHY EVEN BOTHER?!"She yowled and hissed at him "I was apparently almost certainly dead, but you brought me back?! Why bother?!" Nightfur scowled and Snowpaw finally snapped. "BECAUSE I'M YOUR DAD!"

Nightfur took a step back in shock, and her mouthed gaped open. She shook her head in disbelief. "That's not true.. It's not possible." Snopaw nodded, scowling slightly. "I'm your dad. Your mother used to belong to this clan after escaping her cruel owner, and we were mates. She was pregnant with a litter, and we were going to be parents. But one day me and your mother were walking in the forest when a human came and snatched her. I tried to rescue her but it broke my leg. When others came I said a badger had done it all. I went into the human town when my leg had healed a bit and found your mother and her litter. I saw you, and that's how I knew you were my kit." Snowpaw sighed, a tear rolling down his nose. Nightfur shook her head furiously. No...It can't be... "Ever wondered why I always cared for you most out of the kits? Why I always listened? Why I always healed you first? It's because I cared for my kit the most." "Does anyone else know?" Snowpaw nodded. "The clan leader and elders do. Nightfur was once again overfilled with every emotion possible, and tears burst from her eyes. She sobbed and sprinted out the camp again, and went to the tree Kioni had prepared for her, and cried.

Nightfur yowled in pain, her eye bleeding heavily. She panted and tore bark from a nearby tree, making a huge bowl from it, and drenching Zuri with water. "You're the one trying to bring the peace apart aren't you you bitch? You're the one forming the resistance groups!" She saw Zuri's evil grin, and then her spinning round, trying to set fire to the ground under Nightfur. Now it was Nightfur's turn to grin. "Water beats fire, surely you knew that? Well then again, you know jack shit about anything don't you? All you know is jealousy and rejection, and it's always going to be that way, because NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE, messes with the cave clan." Nightfur panted heavily, her eyes filled with rage as she took a branch and hit Zuri across her hind legs, sending her back to where she had come from faster, and she limped off into the trees, all of them dropping leaves and twigs on her as she left, as Nightfur raced back behind the rocks to go in her secret passage unnoticed.

Nightfur went into the cave, in a frenzy to make it more private as she hung tree branches up in the main entrance and put up many fake cat silhouettes to confuse Zuri. I'll change their positions every day... She sighed as she finished hiding the passageway even more and rearranging the cave so Zuri would have less of an angle on them. Finally, she moved a bush so it was in front of the passageway and harder to see. She then gave a message to the trees to give to Snowpaw. COME QUICK-NIGHTFUR!

Snowpaw

Snowpaw sighed, after a busy day of healing he was exhausted and lay back, smiling in relief he now had a little bit of rest and privacy. As cats walked by they bowed their heads in respect. Now he was almost an elder, and he was also the father of the new Cave Clan's soon to be mother, Nightfur, so he was given much respect and honour. He smiled and closed his eyes until a pinecone fell on his head. He frowned and looked down in front of him at the pinecone that had become the point on an exclamation mark at the end of a message.Oh shit...

Snowpaw rushed up the stairs of the secret passage to see Nightfur and saw her wounds he rushed over and immediately started healing her as she cried and told him what had happened. He supported her and carried her over to her bed, her wounds were going to keep her there for a day at least, and he quickly dashed back to Woodclan to tell them what happened. IT soon spread around the two clans alphas and elders, and they arranged for warriors from both clans to protect the cave from any who might try to ruin the clans future. Snowpaw lay with his daughter, healing her as needed, and they both waited for Kioni to come back.

Kioni had finished talking with his father and headed back to the cave den. Upon entering he saw Snowpaw laying with Nightfur. Nightfurs eye was injured. "What the hell happened? Are you Okay!? Who did this!?" He said rushing to Nightfurs side. He was really, really worried. After all he love Nightfur and couldn't stand to see her hurt. "Is she gonna be ok?" He asked Snowpaw in a panic. Kioni paced around the room worried and angry at whoever did this to her. "It was Zuri wasn't it? Gah i hate that bitch, why can't she just leave us alone!?" Kioni's eyes filled with hatred and he must have looked really scary.


After a minute of silence kioni snapped out of his rage and turned all his attention to his injured mate. He walked over to her and nuzzled her. "I'm sorry this happened...I never should have left you here alone...I should have known she would try to hurt you.." He said, a grim look covering his face.

Nightfur raised her head wearily as Kioni entered the den, and his face filed with rage as it was all explained. "I'm sorry this happened...I never should have left you here alone...I should have known she would try to hurt you.." Nightfur smiled weakly, muzzling his shoulder as the warrior group arrived to guard the cave. "It's OK Kioni, you weren't to know..." She smiled and closed her eyes, taking deep breaths as Snowpaw healed her wounds. It felt weir when he did that. Like her fur was crawling with bugs, but not in a gross way. She sighed as the last cut was healed. "Thanks dad..." She smiled in gratitude at her dad. Snowpaw smiled and licked her fur down. "The bones have been bruised, but I did my best, so they should be good in half a day. That stuff takes time even with my power. My power can only do so much sweetie." Nightfur nodded, understanding perfectly. "It's ok, I need to rest now anyway. Thanks dad." She smiled and licked his muzzle and Kioni's, and soon fell asleep.

Kioni watched as Snowpaw healed his beloved Nightfur. Gaurds showed up and kioni felt like they here perfectly safe. He cuddled up to Nightfur. He thought about what had happened during the day. He hated that Nightfur was hurt and that zuri was the one who did it. He layed awake for hours before he finally fell asleep. He slept throughout the night dreaming of better times for the clan.

Nightfur laughed at Kioni's excitement. "Well why don't I send for him?" She chuckled and sent a message to her dad via the trees. Nightfur and Kioni went back inside, and didn't have to wait long for Snowfur. He rushed into the cave, expecting to see a disaster zone, but instead saw a happy pair of cats sitting, waiting. Nightfur got up, and greeted her dad warmly. "Hey dad, we've got something to tell you." Nightfur looked at Kioni and smiled worriedly, unsure what her dad would think. They both told him everything, and Snowpaw sat back, slightly stunned by the news. He shook his head in wonder and grinned, puffing out his chest in fatherly pride.

"Well that's... That's amazing... I'll be a grandfather!" He laughed at the thought and muzzled his daughter. He then frowned. "But what about that white furred cat?" Nightfur shook her head. "It's ok dad, Zuri's gone for a while, and we'll be sure not to let it out so as she knows."Nightfur purred, and wrapped her tail around Kioni's as she licked her dad's grey muzzle. "Now we just wait until it's time..." She grinned, and they all grouped together, purring in joy.

Nightfur listened to Kioni's worries, understanding perfectly, feeling the same way. "It's ok Kioni, I'm sure they'll love you just as much as I do. I really do understand too, I'm scared of them not loving me. But I just remember that we raised them, and deep down they would really love us." She purred and licked Kioni's muzzle reassuringly. She saw Kioni relax, and smiled. "Anyway, shall we-" She was suddenly cut off by a sharp pain in her stomach. She groaned and Kioni rushed her to their bed. Snowpaw was sent for immediately, and Nightfur yowled plenty times while they waited, and Kioni panicked slightly. "Oh my gosh oh my gosh! KIONIIII!" She yowled once more as Snowpaw arrived as the moon reached it's peak.

After a long night, there was finally three little kits lying next to Nightfur, sucking up milk. Nightfur sighed in relieef, and grinned wearily at her dad and husband. She looked down at the little kits. When they had been born, they saw one was half blind, but that had been the only problem. She was ecstatic that she was a mother now, and especially with Kioni. "Orchid, Misty, and Hope. I really think this will be a great life with you." She smiled, and licked their fur. Hope started to cough, her runt of the litter body hardly standing the cold. They all huddled worriedly, trying to keep the kits warm. Hope mewled, and he shivered, wheezing. "Oh no..."

Nightfur muzzled him, licked him, and kept him as warm as possible. She was panicking, and the others were too. They did their best to keep him warm, desperate to keep the little kit's heart beating. But it was no use. Hope mewled weakly, and his head flopped limply to the ground, his heart failing, and his little body lost it's life. "No... No... NO!!!!" Nightfur yowled, her heart breaking in twain. She wept, the tears falling to the cave floor. The other little kits didn't understand, but they mewled sadly too. Everyone was silent but for Nightfur, who wept and cried her ice blue eyes out, as Kioni supported her and Snowpaw and the guards bowed their heads in silence.

Kioni's world was suddenly shaken ass Nightfur went into labor. "Oh god oh god oh god. What do i do!?" He freaked out , which didn't help Nightfur at all, until Snowpaw showed up to help. "Thank god you're here, we- i mean I was freaking out..." He said.

He waited a long, long night. But finally all the kits were born and seemed to be healthy. One was half blind, That didn't matter to Kioni though, the little kit was perfect just the way he was. Kioni was happy, at least for a little bit.

One of the kits, started coughing and shivering, everyone did the best they could to save it...but it wasn't enough. The little kit, Hope, took its last tiny breath. Kioni bowed his head in silence, mourning the loss of his newborn son. He comforted Nightfur the best that he could, holding back an ocean of tears while she let hers pour out. Eventually Kioni couldn't take it anymore, One silent tear rolled down his cheek and hit the floor of the cave. Overwhelmed by emotions of sadness, and despair, Kioni bolted from the cave, taking off into the sky, He flew until his wings would no longer carry him, he crashed into a tree and slipped to the ground, cursing the world for the loss of the kit. Angry, Kioni paced through the forest, looking for someone or something to blame for the kits sudden death, He spent the remainder of the night alone in the forest cursing and yelling at the nature around. Kionis father found him and tried to convince him that things like this just happened, the two fought back and forth and after a heated argument, Kionis father walked away with a scratch on his face.

Kionis father walked back to the cave, informing Nightfur on Kionis state of mind and whereabouts. "I tried to calm him down....He won't listen, he blames himself for the young ones death....When i tried to comfort him he swatted me away....I'm sorry Nightfur, seems you'll be alone for tonight.." He stated in a sad tone. "To everyone else...leave the kid alone, he's grieving and angry at the world. Its safer not to approach him tonight. Do not remind him of the loss." He said in an alpha like tone. He bowed to Nightfur, offering his condolences then left, leaving Nightfur with Snowpaw and the guards.

Nightfur looked up as Kioni left the cave in a rush. "Kioni!" She yelled out, but it was no use. Nightfur continued to mourn until the first rays of sunrise peeked through the branches, and Kioni's father reported Kioni's whereabouts and actions. Nghtfur nodded, then when he left she cried some more. Why does he always act like this!?It's ok child... He's not used to losing things...You're right Birkita, I'm not being fair. Nightfur sighed, and looked down at her two kits. "I'll love you forever you know? You're my little ones, and that will never change..." She purred and they huddled together, keeping warm from the late autumn chill.

Nightfur woke up, realising she had fallen asleep. Orchid and Misty were lying next to her, suckling milk. She smiled softly and basked in the morning sun, as she waited for Kioni to come back.I hope he's ok...

Nightfur heard everything that occurred between Zuri and Kioni, and was worried all the while. As soon as she heard Zuri hiss and run away, she peeked her head out. She couldn't see Kioni, but heard the blood drip on the floor. She quickly rushed out, leaving the kits in the alcove under some leaves. She sprinted to the opposite end of the cave and quickly tended to Kioni who was bleeding. She cried out in panic, and quickly tore a leaf from a branch and wrapped it around his throat, slowing the bleeding. "Oh my gosh!! Kioni!! Stay with me OK?!" A tear fell from her eye to see Kioni in so much pain. She quickly sent a message to Snowpaw asking for urgent help. Her lip trembled, and the kits wobbled over. Seeing their father injured, they mewled worriedly, and Misty walkd over to Kioni's front leg, and tenderly licked a gash on his ankle. Meanwhile Orchid muzzled him worriedly, and quietly mewled. "Wake up Daddy!" She licked his nose, and Nightfur gasped inwardly, proud and worried. She managed to in a way pick up Kioni and drag him to the bed, and pushed him on, and wept as she kept him alive, waiting for Snowpaw.

Snowpaw arrived in a hurry, the twigs and pine cones still in his mind. He rushed up the path to the cave, and practically flew in through the cave entrance, the branches parting as he went through. He saw the blood on the stone floor, and heard the guards arriving behind him to guard once again. He panted as he arrived at the bed, Kioni unconscious on it. He immediately set to work, Nightfur worriedly watching on with the kits as they fed. He did his best, and sighed. "That's all I can do for now. We must wait and continue to look after him, keep everything clean and staunch the blood. If he makes it he must eat much. But I'll stay until he's recovered." He sighed again and looked at Nightfur. Her eyes were red, and her face was wrought with worried lines. "It was Zuri wasn't it." Nightfur nodded, and a tear fell down her muzzle, hitting the stone floor with an echoing splash.

Kioni could feel himself being pulled to their bed but could not wake up. He eventually stopped hearing as well. 'this is it...im going to die....' He thought. He could feel himself slipping away slowly and clung to life. At one point he could feel himself stop breathing. He faught hard against death, eventually winning . He woke up to see snow paw and night fur looking at each other. Nightfur had a tear down her face. Neither of them had noticed his awakening yet though. Kioni started coughing, quickly realizing that he was coughing up a lot of blood.

He tried to get up but his legs wouldn't allow it. He sighed and layed his head back on the bed. He didn't want to talk because every part of his body hurt. Zuri and kioni had beaten each others butts pretty well. Laying there made kioni anxious to get up, so he mustered up all the strength he had left and sat up, wincing from the pain he was experiencing. He looked over at the kits, with a 'i hope everyones okay look' and coughed some more, Blood dripping onto the floor of the cave.

Nightfur gasped in relief, and hugged Kioni as tight as she could without hurting him, which wasn't very tight. Orchid bounced over to her daddy, gleeful, and snuggled up in his fur. Misty walked over as well, but stumbled a few times, his eye slowing him, preventing him from seeing the pools of blood and small rocks on the floor. He did make it however, and tenderly licked his dad's scratches, looking sideways at his grandfather to check he was doing the right thing. Snowpaw smiled, relieved and proud and filled with other feelings, just glad everything was OK. Nightfur buried her head into Kioni's fur. "I'm so glad you're OK..." She murmured, and smiled gently. She purred, and didn't care. She soon fell asleep on the bed, exhausted, the whispers of trees giving support and blessings lulling her as she listened to Kioni's lucky, lucky breaths.

Nightfur was climbing the tree again, filled with joy. But the real Nightfur remembered this nightmare. She couldn't do anything however, as she arrived on the top branch. She watched Kioni fall again, the lightning crippling him, she saw the tsunami rushing towards her, she saw Zuri climb up towards her. But this time Misty and Orchard were in the dream too, and they were draped around Zuri's back, drenched in blood, and bugs from Zuri's coat running all over them as Zuri bit down on Nightfur. Then she woke up.

Once assured that all was fine in his family Kioni cuddled closer to Nightfur and drifted off into a deep, restful sleep.


It had been a year since the birth of the kits and all was well. There had been little signs of Zuri anywhere and the family hadn't been threatened. Orchid and Misty had grown into teen hood and Kioni was starting to feel like an old man.

"Hey dad! Look what i can do!" Orchid shouted as she ran up a tree almost flawlessly. "Great job Orchid. You're getting much better!" Kioni said sounding very proud. Orchid and Kioni spent a lot of time together. It was your typical father daughter relationship. Orchid looked up to her daddy and Kioni adored her to no end. Of couse he loved misty the same amount, he loved his children equally. It was just that Kioni and Orchid had similar personalities and interests. Orchid ran off to play with other kits and Kioni went off to find his beloved wit and son. Soon finding his wife in their cave. "Hey dear" He said upon walking in and kissing his wife. He didn't see misty though. "Wheres Misty? Off with Snowpaw again?" He asked as he plopped down next to Nightfur and nuzzled he lovingly, asking how she is.

Nightfur purred happily, smiling at Kioni. "I'm good thank you." She licked his nose, and leaned on his shoulder. "I'm not sure where Misty is, but I'm sure he's fine." She smiled softly, sighed, and looked up at Kioni. "What do you think of starting to ask other clans to join cave clan?"

Misty bit his lip, focusing hard to keep his balance as he reached out his head, stretching his neck so as to reach the small plant growing on the mossy rock in front of him. He pushed against the cliff face, his legs stretching out as far as they could without him falling. He grit his teeth as he tried not to look down when he heard a pebble being dislodged by his paw. He heard it tumble down the cliff face, echoing as it hit the river with a faint splash. "Almost there..." He stretched himself out, reaching with his head towards the small herb that had caused him so much bother. He could smell it now, and he took a deep breath, pulling the plant towards him. He bit down on it quickly, at yanked back, tumbling back on to the ledge, back to safety.

Misty sat up, and saw the plant in his mouth with his good eye. He smiled and put it in the basket on his delivery system he had made. He put the other herbs he had collected in there too with a rock to help it go down quicker. He looked proudly at his invention as the basket zipped down the line. He sighed and hopped down a series of ledges back down home to their cave. He picked up a piece of bark next to the entrance and placed it on the edge of the slope down to the forest, so that it was just balancing. Misty then hopped onto it, and giggled and whooped in delight as he slid down the path in his sled. He laughed as he got off then cleared his throat, becoming serious suddenly, embarrassed he had found so much enjoyment in such a.... simple activity. He cleared his throat and walked into the clearing where his family was, and sat at the bottom of Orchid's tree. "What ARE you doing?"

Misty talked with Snowpaw for a long while, talking in depth about herbs and his adventures getting them. Snowpaw was laughing with his grandson until he saw the worried look on his face. "What is it Misty?" Misty sighed and lay on his back. "Can I tell you a secret Grampa?" Snowpaw frowned then sighed. "Yes, yes you can." Misty looked towards him then smiled.

"A lot of stuff has been happening lately. First of all, I discovered my power two days ago and haven't told mother OR father, but I have told our new clan member and Orchid." Snowpaw smiled and chuckled, licking his grandson's head. "I'm sure your parents will forgive you for it. I didn't know about your mother's power till she started cave clan!" He laughed and wrapped his tail around Misty's shoulders, tickling him under the chin. Misty giggled then squirmed till his gampa let go.

"Well. What's your power?" Misty shrugged. "Oh, I can talk to dead cats, and see their ghosts." Snowpaw's eyes widened in shock and he stepped back. "Your power is what!?" Misty looked at his grampa quizzically, his ear lying flat against his head. "Is something wrong?" Snowpaw scowled, then stood up. "No, but we need to see your family right now." Then, leaving the herbs unsorted, he started to run out of the clan camp, Misty racing behind him.

Jenna observed the family reacting to each other, and when Kioni was talking, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She burst out laughing, rolling around on the ground. At first, Nightfur kept a straight face, then she ended up laughing with Jenna, both of them getting strange looks from the two cats in the situation. They stopped laughing however when Snowpaw and Misty came into the cave, with Snowpaw's face set in a serious stony look. Nightfur frowned and rushed over to him. "What is it dad?" Snowpaw looked at her then growled. "We all need to talk."

" H-hey, what are you laughing about. Theres nothing funny here!" Kioni said in a panic. Eventually he too started laughing.

Snowpaw suddenly came in, which was unusual because he didn't actually visit too often. Saying that they needed to talk and growled. Kioni didn't like the growling too much but kept his mouth shut. He motioned at his son to come sit with his sister. " About what exactly..?" He asked, probably sounding a bit hostile. He couldn't help but be that way though, the air was thick with seriousness and it was putting Kioni into clan leader mode.


Orchid looked at the adults and Jenna, not liking the situation. She slinked over to her dad and seemed comfort near him. She sat down by his tail and he wrapped it around her, giving her a little bit of an easier feeling. She sat and listened quietly the rest of the time.

Flametail sat waiting for Misty for a long time. Eventually deciding that he could get home on his own and wandered back towards the cave. As he was walking back two cats rushed past him, He identified one as misty and ran after them, sensing that something was happening. He ran behind them and then slinked inside once they were there, plopping down quietly next to Jenna, waiting for things to unfold.

Snowpaw paced up and down in front of the cats and human gathered in front of him, worried about what to say and do. He sighed and as he paced he talked. "It's about Misty." Nightfur glanced at her son, and Misty looked down at the floor, just as confused as everyone else. "He's not in trouble, just, something." He stopped pacing, and sat down, facing Misty. "Tell them." Misty sighed and turned to his parents. "I... Discovered my power. I can speak to dead cats. And see their ghosts..." Nightfur was going to explode her pride all over her newly powered son when Snowpaw continued talking, a worried expression on his face. "One problem. There hasn't been a cat with his power for 100 years."
