Reign of Terror
"A story, that's what my life is, spiraling into place along with everyone else's. I've had my regrets, so many regrets, for the lives that were lost because of me. So I will start at the beginning of this story. Not my story but another's. What story you ask? Why, The story of how I died. But to tell it I must go back to before I was born, to my grandmother, Robinstar and the prophecy."
Five cats sat around a pool filled with starlight.
"How are you Spottedflower?" A dark brown she cat asked.
"Both my clan and I are doing well Mudheart." Answered the mottled white and cream she cat said.
"And you Bramblescar?" asked Mudheart.
"I'm fine." Answered the gentle grey tom.
"We're wasting starlight, let's get going." Said a light brown tabby tom.
"Pebbleleap, you're such a killjoy. You remind me of your mother, she always was impatient." Said Spottedflower teasingly.
Pebbleleap growled, "Show some respect for the warriors of StarClan!" He hissed.
Spottedflower purred. "I was only teasing, Pebbleleap." She said.
"Come on!" said the youngest, a sandy grey she cat. "I can't wait to meet StarClan." The young cat jumped up and down in excitement.
Spottedflower sighed. "It does seem I have an apprentice ceremony to complete. Leafpaw step forward." Leafpaw stepped forward. "StarClan I bring you Leafpaw, my apprentice, and I pray you accept her as you once accepted me." To Leafpaw she whispered, "Touch your nose to the water. StarClan will come." Spottedflower lay down and touched her nose to the water. When she raised her head she was in StarClan's hunting grounds.
"Spottedflower." Said a voice from behind her. She turned and saw an orange tabby tom. "Who are you?" She asked. The faded tom dipped his head.
"My name is Flametail. I was ShadowClan's medicine cat."
Spottedflowers eyes widened, "You're the one who served with Littlecloud." She said.
"Yes but that's not what I came here to discuss." He snapped, "I have a prophecy for you."
A circle of starry cats circled around her. Spottedflower gasped as she saw cats from the other clans.
"A time is coming where the clans will be desperate. One cat will save the clans from a terrible darkness." The cat's voices seemed to echo as one.
A cat stepped forward. "One cat from no clan yet a descendant of a leader." Another cat stepped forward.
"The cat will bring the danger." He said.
Another one this time a small female stepped forward. "Yet she will save us all." StarClan disappeared leaving only the three cats that had spoken.
"Do you know us?" Asked the gray tabby.
"You're the three that saved the clans! Jayfeather Lionblaze and Dovewing!" She exclaimed.
"Yes, but there is another one, more powerful than us who will come. You must look for this cat." Lionblaze said.
"But where do I find it?" Asked Spottedflower.
"We do not know. The future of the clans is shrouded in mist." Said Jayfeather.
