Chapter Nine
Flowerpaw padded through the forest, the moon shining down on her orange pelt. An owl hooted somewhere far in the distance but she ignored it. She didn't even realize where she was headed to she was so wrapped up in her thoughts.
What does this prophecy mean? Flowerpaw thought. Was she the flower? Was Firepaw perhaps the fire? Flowerpaw just didn't know anymore. Life was taking a turn she hadn't expected. If only she had the answeres she had been looking for. Flowerpaw pulled away from her thoughts for a moment and realized where she was.
The lake.
Flowerpaw was at the lake, the laps gently hitting her paws. A tear escaped her eye. If only she could go back to the day she was born. If only there had been a way to stop all of this. Flowerpaw opened her eyes and stared down at her reflection in the water. She was so much different from how she had been a moon ago. Now her pelt shone in a sunset-orange, with a silvery line going down her face and stomache. Her under-tail fur was mousey brown, as were the lines outlining the silvery colour. Her eyes... They were no longer amber. Now her eyes shone in the amazing colour of blue. It seemed like they had changed as she grew older, which made her happy.
In her reflection the moon shone directly behind her head, making a silver ring encircle her. The moon is so beautifull, thought Flowerpaw. To her, the moon was a shining sphere of hope on which the clans could rely on. It represented peace at the gatherings, it stopped dangerous battles before they could go to far, and it watched over the clans as they slept, watching for harm.
"My first child will be named Mooncub," whispered Flowerpaw. As she finished saying those words, a star shot across the sky. Flowerpaw smiled inwardly. Perhaps that was a sign from StarClan. Or maybe it was a sign from The Land of Endless Fox. Flowerpaw didn't know. What she did know was that it meant something. It meant something that Flowerpaw needed to know.
Flowerpaw looked back to the water. Now two reflections stared back at her. One was herself, while the other one was...
"Who are you?" Flowerpaw asked, turning to face where the other reflection was supposed to be coming from. No one was there. Flowerpaw looked back to the water. There was still two reflections. Flowerpaw looked at the second reflection for a moment or two before it spoke.
"I am Quicksilver," the reflection said in a serious voice. "I am the one who runs across the sky every now and then, granting wishes and dreams." Flowerpaw tilted her head to the side in confusion. Was this the star she had seen shoot across the sky? If so, did that mean her wish to become a leader and a queen would come true?
"So my wish will come true," Flowerpaw whispered. At this Quicksilver smirked.
"Not without a price," he grinned. Flowerpaw was instantly filled with fear. What did he mean? Not without a price? Would she have to give up something dear to her?
"What is the price?" Flowerpaw asked, her voice calm and collected, unlike her thoughts. Quicksilver laughed.
"The price is three who are dear to you," he said, grim humor underlying his voice. Flowerpaw's fear increased, only now it showed.
"Who?!!" screamed Flowerpaw as Quicksilver's reflection started to fade. "Who will I lose?" Before he could answere, Quicksilver disappeared. Flowerpaw sunk to the ground in sadness. She was going to lose three who were dear to her and she couldn't stop it. All this just for the chance to be a queen and a leader.
A rustle in the bushes made Flowerpaw turn around. Who was there made her gaze soften. It was a young kit, about three months old. It seemed alone, afraid, and it's hind leg seemed to be injured. The kit had a silver pelt and wide blue eyes.
"Don't be afraid I won't bite," soothed Flowerpaw. the kit slowly crept forward.
"Why did you kill my momma?" the young kitten asked. At this Flowerpaw was surprised. Killed? She wouldn't kill a she-cat with kits!
"I think you have mistaken me for another," whispered Flowerpaw. The kitten nodded.
"Well, can you be my mother then?" the kit asked. Flowerpaw smiled.
"I am quite young, but I can pretend to be your mother," Flowerpaw said to the kitten.
"Thank you," the young kit mewed gratefully.
"Can I ask what your name is then?" Flowerpaw asked. The kitten thought for a moment before answering.
"I believe my name is Moon," the kitten mewed. Flowerpaw's eyes widened. So here was part of her wish. Now all she could do was wait and hope those disasters didn't come true.
"Well, Moon," chatted Flowerpaw after a moments silence. "Should we head over to the camp I live in?" Moon's eyes widened in fear.
"Are there more like you there?" she asked in a frightened mew.
"Only one, and she is harmless," smiled Flowerpaw. The kit gave a sigh of relief.
"That's good," she mewed.
"I just have on condition," smiled Flowerpaw. Moon nodded. "From now on your name is Moonkit, okay?" The young kit took a small moment before she replied.
"Okay" whispered Moonkit before following Flowerpaw back to ThunderClan camp.
Things were starting to get out of the control of Flowerpaw, Firepaw, and Foxpaw. But the worst was still to come. Soon, soon they would be faced with the final decision.

Meow! I loved writing that one! Flowerpaw has such a mysterious life....Now it is time to answer DryBlanket101's VERY long review.... First off, Jayfeather isn't blind because he didn't get chased off the edge of a cliff from some over grown fox cubs *cough cough* Now, of course Firestar would reward the three for breaking the rules! Thornclaw's patrol was out on one mission; to kill the fox cubs before they became a problem. Simple as that! If it weren't for Jayfeather and his siblings, the fox would be needlessly killed. YOU ARE DUMB DRYBLANKET101!!! Baby fox arent called kits! They are called kits, cubs, or pups! So cubs is VERY suitable for them!!! Besides, just because Whitewing volunteered to nurse them didnt mean she fully accepted them! She named him Foxcub so that he would be constantly reminded that he was a different species. Now, since I am done answering a VERY dumb review, I have to finish writing this bottom thing! Oh and I am now on good terms with Kingdom Nice...Okay, everyone who reviews gets a Moonkit plushie!!!
