Chapter 1- realization

Leafpool was dreaming. In her dream, she was sitting at a gathering, and a black she-cat Leafpool had never seen before was standing up in the crowd. Leafpool couldn't hear what she was saying, but the black she-cat had turned toward her with fury in her eyes, spitting an accusion at her. Words began to form from the movement of her jaw. You think you know me. And my brothers, mfffmff and mmmfffmm. Leafpool couldn't make out the names. But you don't! Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight aren't our parents. Leafpool is our mother and Crowfeather -yes Crowfeather of WindClan- is our father!

Leafpool's eyes shot open. She was back in her den, her nest kicked to pieces. Her chest was heaving. "What a nightmare," she murmured. This had been her fifth weird dream from the last few nights. In the others, she had seen Crowfeather snarling at her, Ashfur dead, and Graystripe returning. She had also seen the black she-cat, golden tom, and gray tabby multible times. She couldn't help but wonder if any of it would happen….She shook her head. Crowfeather would never be that mean to her, and Ashfur was young and wasn't sick. And, as much as it pained her to say it, Graystripe was never coming back.

She heaved herself to her paws and began to piece her nest back together. "Stupid dreams," she muttered, "Stupid moss." Her stomach growled, "Stupid belly." She was pretty hungry though. Strange. I'm not usually this hungry…she thought. After her nest was pretty much back in order, she stepped into the moonlight. The camp was bathed in darkness, making it hard to see. She stumbled over to the entrance. "Just doing a bit of night hunting," she whispered to Thornclaw, who was on watch.

"May StarClan light your path," he murmured. Leafpool slipped into the ferns. After she was mostly away from camp, she opened her mouth to let the scents of the forest bath her scent glands. Vole! The little creature was skittering under some fallen leaves. She dropped into a crouch. Squirrelflight had taught Leafpool how to hunt one day when she was bored. Leafpool stalked slowly toward the vole, almost silent on the forest floor. But her tail brushed a bush, and the vole took off. Leafpool hissed. She wasn't going to let it get away that easily!

She dashed after the vole, trying to keep it in sight. But she began to get tired, and she slowed down. The vole slipped down its hole. "Am I really this out of shape?" she asked herself. Leafpool plopped down onto the forest floor and began to wash. She had almost finished washing when her belly growled. "Oh! I almost forgot!" She bent her neck to wash her belly. Her strangly bloated stomach was hard to the touch. Funny, it almost seems like…her thought trailed off, and was replaced by pure terror. She placed a white paw on her belly, wishing with all her might that it was another silly dream. But it wasn't. I'm expecting kits!

So that was it. It's kinda short, but I hope you like it! There will be a chapter 2 soon!
