XXDawncloudXX
She wasn't sure what to think of it. She wasn't sure if it was a mistake, which she would have guessed, since she wasn't sure she was that type of material. Apprentally, she was. The clan hasn't had a deputy or a leader for the longest time, and have been waiting for some sort of sign. All of them have. They were waiting, finally guessing that no leader or deputy was probably best, but until today, Dawncloud wasn't sure at all what was going on.
Above her, at this very moment, in the dark, was a single cloud in the sky. It was hard to tell that it was a cloud, but if you stared at it long enough, you could tell. Surrounding it was the faint twinkles of Starclan. Normally, Dawncloud wouldn't think anything of it. Just a random cloud in the sky surrounded by the stars. The thing that got her the most was that the cloud wasn't there last time she looked at the night sky. On top of that, it was dawn.
Maybe she was overreacting. Maybe it was just a cloud that appeared, and it just happened to be at dawn. Then why does my insticts say different? She thought to herself, giving a great sigh. She wanted to believe that it was just a cloud, but something else told her different. Something inside her told her it was the sign that everyone was waiting for.
But how could that be possible when Dawncloud never thought of ever becoming... Dawnstar. The name gave her shivers up her spine. She wasn't sure if she were to be scared, excited, or even if she was mistaken. Trying to get it out of her head, she turned to the den to get some sleep before everyone got up to do patrols and such. She lay down on the soft moss that had been untouched all night. Dawncloud closed her eyes, trying to get the image out of her mind.
Feeling like she wasn't falling asleep, she opened her eyes in frustration, but didn't find herself in her moss bed. She was actually.... in the clouds. She felt like a bird, looking down on everyone's territory. She never had dreams like this, so being this high freaked her out a little bit. Dawncloud didn't like the feeling, since she didn't like anything new.
The cloud surrounding her started to thin out the farther she went. Finally, she was coming up to flying above Duneclan's territory, and spotted the same cloud. She couldn't resist going toward it, even if the groud wasn't far away. The closer she got, she noticed the cloud was in the shape of a small cat. It wasn't perfect, but it was enough to tell what it was. Dawncloud shook her head, looking to her left at the stars. A voice whipped past her, Yes Dawncloud...
She was confused. She didn't ask anything, therfore not making any answer, but the voice was frighting. She knew it anywhere she went. The voice that normally haunted her in her sleep, but this time, it wasn't hard and cold. It was the regular voice Dawncloud knew when he was alive. It was her old mate.
Coming from him, this had to be the sign. The sign she was waiting for since she became a warrior and her leader and deputy disappeared. She had to become the new leader. How was she going to break it to the clan? It didn't seem like a very convincing job. In front of her, the cloud came to life, it's head turning toward her. Dawncloud froze, watching the cloud with all eyes. The cloud titled it's ears back and opened it's large fans into a snarling hiss.
Dawncloud woke with a start. Cats were staring at her like she had just grown another patch of heads. Sighing, she stood up, walking outside of the den, seeing another frightning sight. The cloud was in the same position as she had left, except it was hissing toward nothing. What a begining of the new day.
