"GET OFF OF ME!" Moonlight shouted. She tried to push Starlight off of her, but she was too strong. "Why do I always have to be the mouse?" she pleaded. "It's not fair!"
"It's because you're the small and scrawny one." Starlight replied. "And I'm stronger than you."
"RUN, KIDS!" They heard Sunlight shout.
"MOM!" Moonlight shouted.
"Quiet!" Starlight whispered sternly. They were only 2 moons old, but she was a few minutes older, and often took responsibility for her younger sister.
Moonlight hopped backwards toward the back exit, thinking it would be more safe there. A large, gray paw came swooping down towards Starlight.
"STARLIGHT!" Moonlight cried. The cat's paw separated the two. Moonlight was sure that Starlight had been killed. Not wanting the same fate for herself, she quickly hopped out of the hole, and scampered into the thick part of the forest.
Moonlight scampered across the forest as fast a she could. She couldn't tell if this was a dream, heaven, or her own miserable life. It was the worst ending she could have, but it was also the worst beginning. The beginning of her time, running.
She looked over her shoulder to see if the cat was still chasing her. She had heard that cat's had paws that could crush her easily, but that cat must have been young. Moonlight turned around and smacked her face into a tree.
"OW!" she said out loud. she covered her mouth with her paw, hoping no one had heard her. She realized that the ridges on the tree were oddly shaped. The ridges usually go up and down, but this one had a curve starting at the bottom and ending there too. She pushed on the smallest curve and jumped back in shock. The curve, along with some other big ones, turned into a door.
Moonlight opened the door and walked through it. The place that it revealed was a paradise. The grass was bright green, and the perfect length. Butterflies of all colors swooped by her head before heading off to the patch of flowers. There were every colors of flowers imaginable, in every size, with every sent, but the most beautiful thing of all, was in the middle of this place.
A fountain, 5 times as high as her (5 feet) was decorated with flowers on vines, that were wrapping around it, going up. The stone made all of it go together. The base of the fountain was low, so even Moonlight could get a drink from it, and the water, oh the water! Well, that was just a sight to see. Is was as clear as the sky, and sparkled like diamonds.
Moonlight was dreadfully thirsty, that's what happened to her every time she was scared. She dipped her head down to take a sip. The moment her tongue touched the water, she felt a surging pain run through her body, like her soul was getting pulled away from her. Cringing in pain, she looked up to see a purple, transparent cat, looking down at her. It was small, like it just been born, but tall and regal. Her fur was long and fluffy, and looked quite soft. Moonlight could not see if she had coloration of any kind.
"I'm sorry," it said. "But we must join, for either of us to survive. I shall just be your form. I do not want to walk on this world. I could, but StarClan said I didn't have to, so I won't." The ghost flew towards her with speed faster than any other. The pain increased insanely, like it was stretching her, but to torture her, and not kill her.
The pain went away, but not naturally. It had one final kick, before it died.
Moonlight looked around. Two things were there that weren't before. A hole and a cave. Moonlight decided she would go in, after she cleaned herself in the fountain.
Moonlight looked down. It was her, not some mangy cat. Her snow white fur, floppy ears, and her blue eyes. She liked them. They were like the water in the cured fountain.
Then, Moonlight had this strange feeling that she shouldn't be seeing a bunny in the water. She had the instinct to spin around quickly, so she did. As she did, she felt like she had released all her sadness in the world, like she was being reborn. She saw the color of the water flying around her. She stopped, and looked backed down at her reflection.
Moonlight hissed in surprize, which then surprised her. She didn't even know that cats could hiss. The reflection in the fountain had changed! It now showed the purple cat, only not purple. It was now white with blue eyes, a true living thing, not an image.
Moonlight couldn't believe it. She was... well... a cat. She remembered what her mom would always say, 'Stop it you two! It's hard enough having cats trying to kill us! We don't need to make believe it's happening in our house!' Now, if she could see her mom, she would hate her.
Moonlight turned into a bunny again by spinning, like she turned into a cat. She hopped over to the hole near the side of the garden. Inside were pictures of Moonlight's family. It had Moonlight and Starlight growing up, family portraits, the day she spent with Sunlight. Moonlight had a happy and sad, mixed emotion dripping down her face in the form of tears.
Moonlight hopped out the hole and wandered towards the cave. There was only one picture on the wall, and it wasn't recognizable to her. It was her, with a full grown cat, that seemed to be teaching Moonlight's cat something. The cat on that picture had a ginger pelt and green eyes.
Moonlight curled up in cat form for a nap, sobbing at the loss of her family.
