Hollowstar's Haze
Prologue
Hollowstar flung herself at the largest badger. They'd already taken one down, Bramblewhisker having gone as far as to kill it. It now lay on the grass, a growing pool of crimson slowly turning the soft green grass to a deathly red.
The RiverClan leader let out a yowl, her mind still fuzzy. She raked at its eyes and clawed its ears, until it bucked her off and charged to a muscular black tom with pale ginger paws and a white muzzle. No, not him! You cannot take him! Hollowstar once again threw herself in the path of the lumbering beast. He shall not be your prey!
Hollowstar's eyes widened as the badger lifted a heavy paw, claws and all, down on her. Stunned, the badger tore at her soft, exposed underbelly. Her jaws parted in a soundless shout as Oakblaze killed the badger in one swift bite. The forest ground shook as it collapsed, but Hollowstar's vision was wavering.
"Hollowstar, c'mon, I killed it, it's gone, come on!" Oakblaze pleaded.
"I can't. I'm too far gone," Hollowstar murmured, when suddenly, she felt the haze in her mind lifting for the first time in seasons.
"Hurry and take Whitefog back to camp, his flank wound is serious. Seedheart's leg is badly twisted, though he's good at faking fine," the tan warrior lowered his gaze when the leader said that. "The badger were a family, one was a mother, I could smell the milk-scent, her cubs should be hunted down soon." I-I can think, it's good, good to be back to my old self…
Oakblaze looked at his leader in awe. "You can focus? No crazy mind problems?" He asked, searching her eyes for answers. "No, I'm fitter than a fish in a stream, but," Hollowstar paused, seeing a starry cat approach her, "this is my last life. Lead RiverClan well, and know, your mother is extremely proud of you." Hollowstar had to choke back tears, but Oakblaze let his flow freely. "No cat shall ever forget you! I'll tell my kits of you, Sanfern has got me thinking," Oakblaze shook his head. "Goodbye, Hollowstar…" The deputy dipped his head solemnly, and the last thing she caught a glimpse of was Oakblaze being hauled away by Streamrush before Hollowstar's spirit was guided by a long lost friend.
