The start of a new story! This is so exciting! Yes I know I haven't updated anything else in like a month but I have serious writer's block! This came to my mind and I just had to write it!
Appledusk's P.O.V
The faded ginger tom looked at his paws. He could see the reeds through them, and wondered how long it would be until he faded completely.
"Hello Appledusk," meowed a slightly faded black tom.
"Greetings Reedstar," he meowed, "and here I thought all of StarClan had forgotten me."
"I do not appreciate your tone Appledusk," meowed Reedstar firmly.
"I do not appreciate fading, Reedstar," muttered Appledusk.
"I am sorry, but I do have a solution," meowed Reedstar.
"Really what?" asked Appledusk skeptically.
"We could have you reborn, with your memories, when you die you'd be completely whole again," Reedstar meowed.
"What's the catch?" asked Appledusk.
"A Dark Forest cat must be sent back with you," muttered Reedstar.
"You don't mean?" asked Appledusk suddenly tense.
"She's the only one who isn't completely dark-hearted," Reedstar meowed.
"They're all dark-hearted Reedstar," hissed Appledusk.
"It's not entirely her fault," commented Reedstar.
"Are you saying it's my fault!" spat Appledusk drawing closer.
"No of course not, only a part of it is your fault," meowed Reedstar, earning a hiss from Appledusk.
"I never want to see Mapleshade again!" hissed Appledusk.
"It's your choice Appledusk, be reborn with Mapleshade or fade," Reedstar remarked. Appledusk thought a while and stared at his paws, he hated Mapleshade, but he didn't want to fade forever.
"I choose to be reborn," he growled.
"Very well, I will tell Mapleshade," said Reedstar walking away.
Mapleshade's P.O.V
She knew she would fade. She didn't really care either. It was better than staying in this dump another second. Where had all the good times gone? Times when she, Brokenstar, Tigerstar and Thistleclaw struck fear into the hearts of the clan cats. But they had all faded now. Where they had come so close to completely destroying everything those petty fools who had never felt true pain stood for. A time when she had… friends. Ugh, friends, what a goody-goody word….companions, yes that's a far better word. She thought to herself. Back when she had companions, where there was true hunger for destruction. Oh yes, there had been quite a few cats who had come to join her. Cats who were jealous and killed, or cats who had thought about nothing but killing and taking over everything, but lacked any skill at all. Worst of all these cats wouldn't listen to her. They didn't know her, no one remembered her. She had just accepted her fate to rot in this cursed forest forever when Reedstar showed up. A StarClan cat dared show himself, the cat who had been RiverClan deputy at the Great Battle. A cat who had seen her at her full strength! She bared her claws and leaped at him. To find, to her horror that they went right through him without hurting him. When Mapleshade shut her jaw Reedstar began to speak.
"Nice to see you too Mapleshade," he meowed calmly.
"Get out of here StarClan skum, when my cats find you…" Mapleshade hissed.
"Your cats, you mean the ones who can't see you, who don't even know you exist?" Reedstar remarked.
"Just what exactly do you think you're doing here?" growled Mapleshade.
"You are coming with me, you are going to be reborn with Appledusk," Reedstar meowed.
"Reborn? with Appledusk? I knew StarClan were fluff-brained but I didn't think-" Mapleshade began but Reedstar cut her off.
"You'll be able to use your claws again," he meowed. Mapleshade paused in thought then nodded.
"You know what, maybe this isn't such a bad idea," she meowed.
"I knew you'd think that," meowed Reedstar. He led her into StarClan and Mapleshade saw light for the first time she could remember. It was awful. When Reedstar led her to what seemed like the heart of StarClan she found a crowd of StarClan cats, and Appledusk, already there. She hissed and he glared, but then Mistystar began to speak.
"Appledusk and Mapleshade," she said in a serious tone, " you are to be reborn with-" she sneezed, she tried to call it off but it was too late. The world vanished around Mapleshade. Her memories became nothing but faded images. And then it was dark….
Maplekit opened her amber eyes, and knew nothing about who she had been.
What do you think? I really need OC's if anyone has any! They can be anything from a Maplekit's mother or the RiverClan leader, to a ShadowClan elder!
