Spottedleaf's Dying Wish.

Authors note: Third SecretClan challenge! This kind of poetry does not rhyme. Still poetry!


I always loved Firestar.

Ever sense he joined the clan.

When I died the first time,

I thought death could not separate my love from him.

I waited seasons after seasons

never giving up hope.

It pained me to wait, seeming like eternity until I would see him again.

Fear for him when the Darkforest battle arrived.

Will he live?

I battled trying to find my forbidden love,

Instead I found his mate.

Mapleshade was about to slit her throat!

Anger filled me.

No one messes with Firestar's mate.

I battle the evil she-cat.

My actions caused me my life.

Firestar yowled my promise into the chilly air.

Fear was sizing me.

I can't die!

What about Firestar?

What will happen to me once I fade?

What will I feel?

Would I be reborn?

Fear kept pulling me into their cluches.

Did Firestar ever love me?

Please!

I silently pleaded.

Everyone! Love your kin, clanmates, and mates! Never give up!

Stand strong! Please!

No matter where I go I will always love,

But please, keep my dying wish.
