A/N: Hi! As I stated in the summary this is sort-of a prequel to my story Dark Moon. I got so much love and support for that story that decided to write this one. Plus- I wasn't ready to let go of Lightmoon just yet. So this is the full story of how Light became Dark and how where once there were stars there now lies a forest as dark as the hearts of the cats who walk its paths. Enjoy!
For those of you who have not read Dark Moon-
1. You should!
2. If the story sounds a little like Hollyleaf's it's supposed to.

? POV
Alone. Completely and utterly alone. Maybe I deserve it but who are you to judge me? You don't know me and you don't know my story. You don't have the right to judge me- only the Stars have that right. And judged me they have, they saw the monster I am and left me here- alone. Where is here exactly? There is nothing here- nothing but me… and the pool. I shudder when I think about the pool, its inky surface reflecting the non-existent light of this place where nothing can exist- especially not light. The sky above as empty as the place where my heart once lay- no stars and no moon, nothing but blackness darker than my fur. My own existence here is more torturous than the look of horror in the eyes of my former clan as they saw the monster I truly was. The pool seemed to have its own gravity, drawing me to it, forcing me to look into its depths. No matter how hard I tried I could not resist its pull- could not tear my eyes away from the scenes unfolding on its surface- retelling the story of my life and showing the lives of those I left behind.
Frostwhisker POV
I looked up at the stars as I have done- as my ancestors have always done- the night new kits are born to LeopardClan. Tonight the moon- nearly full- shines brightly down on the camp as its inhabitants slumber peacefully. Suddenly clouds- that had not been there before- cover the moon, casting the clearing in darkness. A voice whispers in my ear Remember Frostwhisker, even the brightest light can succumb to darkness. I shiver, Surely that can't mean Lightkit- the stronger of two she-kits born to Dapplepatch tonight. I think to myself, but I can't help the fear that threatens to overwhelm me. If Lightkit is destined for darkness there is nothing even the Stars can do to stop it.
