Still fuming from the events that took place in camp mere moments before, Swirlingpaw came top Snake Rocks. Of course, being a new apprentice and having never been out of came before, the young grey tortie had no clue where he was. Slowly but surely, he climbed to the topmost rock and sat staring at the sunset for what seemed like days. When the sun finally disappeared below the horizon, Swirlingpaw looked into the starry sky, StarClan, kill me now! I bet everyone would be happier if I was dead! But alas, his wish did not come true and he lived. Chilled to the bone, the apprentice decided it was time to do home, but on his way down he tripped.. and apparently disturbed an adder. Hissing, the malignant eyes creaturned rose into the air, towring over the shaking apprentice, and before he could move, the snake attacked. Enfuriated and close to dying, Swirlingpaw retaliated and eventually killed it, but not without recieving a few more blows first. As darkness closed in around him, he thought of his siblings,no! he though, knowing StarClan was not far away.. but he went limp and fell the rest of the way to the ground below, landing with a loud thump. |

Padding slowly towards snake rocks, the young calico apprentice trudged onward through the snow. She was desperately searching for any scent of the young tortie tom that was Swirlingpaw, as the anger she felt towards him at this moment could possibly allow her to attack him. Then, approaching where his scent grew strongest, the young calico smelled adder, blood, and Swirlingpaw. A sinking feeling worked it's way into her stomach as she padded closer. Then, seeing the young tom's uncontious body, she raced to his side. "Swirlingpaw?" she mewed quietly, prodding him with her paw. "Swirlingpaw!?.....SWIRLINGPAW!" she nudged him and waited for him to respond.

Suddenly, a strange rushing noise awakened the slumbering tom. He looked about and realised he was in Fourtrees on a warm Green-leaf day, his sensed went mad. Soon, he realized he was being watched by more cats than he could count--cats that were glowing.
'Welcome Swirlingpaw,' they said in mono-tone,'your time has come.'
'What?!?' Exclaimed the young apprentice, his heart pounding,'but I--I don't want to be dead yet!'
At this, a beautiful young tortie stepped forward, her silver coat rippling softly as she came. Her scent was sweet and comforting, yet achingly familiar.' No,' the cat purred, her voice was thick with accent,' you will live as long as your friend gets help for you soon. You are far too important for us to kill, you.. along with a few other cats have been chosen for a special mission... now I cannot give you details on this plot now, for you have been told begore the others since.. the infortunate adder incident. Good ting I got ze urge to come here tonight....' she trailed off, and when she realized Swirlingpaw was going to question her she continued on.'We are sending you back to ze real world now. See you soon, my love.'
'Your love?' Swirlingpaw mewed,'but--who are you?'
Smiling sadly, the cat replied,' you haven't figured it out? I am your mother.'
With that, Fourtrees swirled into black despair, and Swirlingpaw opened his eyes once more. Standing over him was Emberpaw.. he was at Snake Rocks once again.

"Swirlingpaw!" she mewed in releif. "Thank goodness your awake. Do you need me to run and get the medicine cat? or can you walk?" the young calico's voice came in such a rush it was almost impossible to understand her.

Straining desperately, the tom tried to stand but kept falling unsucessfully back to the ground. His multiple adder strikes kept him immobilized. Get... help, Swirlingpaw mewed weakly, his icey eyes fluttering.. as if he were fighting to stay awayke.

Emberpaw cast a terrified glance at Swirlingpaw. "Hang on.." she said, looking desperately towards camp, then back at Swirlingpaw. "I don't want to leave you..but you'll be a lot better off if I go find the medicine cat..Don't worry..I'll be back." Then, racing away from snake rocks as fast as her paws could carry her, she sped off toawrds the ThunderClan camp.
To: YOU HEARD HER!

Helppp... Swirlingpaw manage to whisper before passing out, his icey eyes rolling into the back of his head. If sone cat didn't come to help him soon, he'd never awake from this swirling nightmare.
