“Where Thunder Roams” - Ch 4
Owlstar padded through the dimly lit forest, every sense on high alert. These woods were familiar, yet strange at the same time. Owlstar could’ve sworn he’d been here before, but everything felt hazy.
It also felt like eyes were all on him. That certainly cause him some unease. Though, being leader of GroveClan for many moons now, he was no stranger to fear. In fact, the tom was quite known for his unwavering bravery.
“Who’s there?”Owlstar called out into the dark, eyeing something in a nearby bush.
“Show yourself!”he demanded, raising his tail in authority.
The entity surprisingly did as it was told, revealing itself to GroveClan’s leader.
It was a bare wisp of a cat, lighting up the forest with its uncanny glow. Whatever it is, or was, hadn’t existed on earth in many years.
Owlstar felt his heart skip a beat, but kept his paws firmly on the ground. This was not Owlstar’s first brush with the afterlife. He knew the spirits well. He also knew they rarely visited with good news.
“What do you want?”Owlstar asked hesitantly, standing his ground.
A beat of silence. Then the apparition spoke.
“Where thunder roams,”it croaked as it took a big step forward,”the earth will shudder under her paws!”
As the spirit stomped the forest floor, the ground began to crack open.
Owlstar, as fearless as he was, felt his hackles raise as the soil gave way beneath him.
He opened his mouth to speak, or maybe even cry out. All attempts were in vain as he was met with a loud crack of thunder. Lightning lit up his den, and Owlstar’s eyes shot open.
Thunder? The earth shuddering? What was that all about? Apart of him wanted to believe this storm had his nerves in a tizzy. He was simply having a nightmare. Then again, the timing was too perfect… SpottedVine had mentioned naming the kit he found..
Owlstar curled up in his nest in silent defeat for the night, and the storm raged on.
