Welcome back to trash pile number 5 millinillion and one! Yes, that is a number. Moving on.

Chapter Thirteen is divided into two parts which I have combined. You already know why.

Also, sorry I took so long! I forgot about uploading! I'm so embarrassed. Yikes.

On to the story!

Chapter Thirteen: Birth, Death, Rebirth – Part One

The newest queen in the nursery, Hazeltail, was giving birth to three kits. Her kits were gray-and-white with long ears (she-kit), black with a white chest (tom), and brown with white paws, muzzle, ears, chest, and tail tip (tom). They were named Tallkit, Ravenkit, and Shrewkit, respectively. They became quick friends with Icecloud's kits, Sweetkit (black she-kit) and Logkit (white-and-black tom) and also good friends with Graykit, who would soon be an apprentice.

Because there were no apprentices yet, some warriors offered to retrieve moss for Hazeltail. Starsky went to the forest with Brackenfur, Birchfall, and Daisypetal.

"Alright, everyone." Brackenfur meowed. "Would it be best to separate into groups of two?"

Daisypetal nodded. "I'll go with Starsky."

After the toms left, Daisypetal looked at Starsky. "Let's go this way." She turned and padded towards WindClan territory.

As they kept walking, they could not find any moss on trees. "Hmmm," Daisypetal worried. "Why is there no moss? Wait," She sniffed the air. She growled. "WindClan… We wandered too far. Let's go ba-"

A patrol of WindClanners came into view as Daisypetal was speaking. As they saw the two cats near the border, WindClan approached quicker. "What's this?" A gray she-cat meowed. "Are you planning on trespassing?" She taunted.

Starsky groaned. "Why does everyone assume that?! Leave us alone! We're gathering moss. StarClan above…" She grumbled.

Daisypetal shot Starsky a look. "Um, anyway. Yes, we are gathering moss, so Ashfoot, please don't turn this into something useless."

A black tom with angry amber eyes stepped forward. "Don't go over this border."

Starsky's cackles rose. The black tom was annoying her, and he hadn't said but five words already. She saw that he got a little bit of pleasure from annoying her. She growled.

Daisypetal started desperately, "Starsky, please-"

The black tom was already jumping on Starsky. They rolled around, clawing at each other.

Ashfoot hissed. "BREEZEPELT! For the love of StarClan. BREEZEPELT!"

Breezepelt continued clawing at Starsky. She threw him off, but he got back up immediately. In half a second, she saw his eyes fill with rage. He lunged at her and pinned her down.

Ashfoot called from the border, "GOOD! NOW LET GO OF-" She didn't manage to finish her sentence. Breezepelt lifted a paw. The other cats watched in horror as his claws struck her throat.

Starsky opened her eyes but closed them immediately upon seeing a blinding light. "Sorry." A cat awkwardly meowed. "I'm sorry. Wow. Third time I've done that now. Um, you can open your eyes now."

Starsky re-opened her eyes and saw that she was in StarClan. A white cat with warm amber eyes was standing there. "Hi." He meowed. "I'm Snowtail; I'm not supposed to be here."

oOoOo

Chapter Thirteen: Life, Death, Rebirth – Part Two

Snowtail shifted his paws. "You see, I'm from a faraway set of Clans. I was traveling through here many moons ago on a mission, and I died; if you look hard enough, you can find my body in the lake. Anyway, that's why I'm here; I was floating in the void for so long- so, so, so long- until you unlocked the spell that had cursed me. MoonClan is in its full form now, thanks to you."

Starsky stared wide-eyed. "So you died here and MoonClan saved you, basically?"

Snowtail paused, thinking. "Yes. Yeah. It did. Well, you did." He took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I'm just excited. So, it looks like you've died."

Starsky groaned. "Forgot about that."

Snowtail shrugged. "Of course. Well, because you have saved my soul from decaying, I will bring you to life again. I'm sorry to say that I can only do this once. But before you go," he continued, padding forward. "I have some new information regarding your warrior code." His nose touched her forehead.

Instantly, a voice spoke in her head. "These are the new laws of the Warriors of the Lake; they are to be given to one cat to introduce to all of the Clans. Cats that do not follow these laws and show no remorse for it will rot in the Forest of no Stars, and their souls will die forever. These are the laws:

1. StarClan is your source of life. Respect them by worshipping them, and only them.

2. A Clan is not just cats working together to survive; a Clan is a group of friends. Respect them.

3. All life is important. Do not end yours or anyone else's. Only if your life is in peril, then you may.

4. Your mate provides you with a family; do not betray them for another, even after death.

5. Each Clan has their own property; do not steal from the other Clans.

6. The Leader is the head of the Clan. Listen to their word, unless they are mentally unstable.

7. If a prophecy or StarClan cat says to disobey these laws, it is allowed.

These laws must be told to the Warriors of the Lake. They will burn in your memory for fourteen days, or a half-moon, if you have not told a leader by then. The words will fade from your mind after that, and you will be sent to the Dark Forest upon death."

She closed her eyes tight, and took a deep breath. "I understand. Thank you for entrusting me with these laws."

Snowtail nodded. "Remember; I have trusted you with this responsibility." He again touched his nose to her forehead, and she became tired. She woke up in the forest. A few moments had passed; Daisypetal was standing over her. She gasped. "Your neck is healed!"

Breezepelt, being held back by his Clanmates, strained to look. "WHAT!" He hissed.

Ashfoot growled. "Breezepelt, I want you to shut up right now, or I will kill you myself."

Starsky glared at them and stood. "I must go to the camp. Daisypetal, hurry with me, please."

Starsky did not wait for an answer as she ran to camp.

Are these laws too similar to the original code? Or should there even be new laws? Should there just be a reminder to follow the code?

At the start, I didn't feel like writing much about the kits, so I just gave a brief explanation about what kits there are. I'm a lazy person... Can you tell?

Constructive criticism... You know the drill by now.

Thanks for reading! Bye!
