Dying For Love
Skyflight has lost everything dear to her. Her mate, Grayblaze, had been killed during a fire. Her kits had not survived it either, having breathed in too much smoke. Skyflight herself almost lost her life on that terrible day. The pale gray queen could still remember seeing the life leave Grayblaze's yellow eyes as he told her he loved her for the last time.
Skyflight tried to continue living, but that dreadful day remained in Skyflight's heart like a scar from an old battle. Cats comforted her, some told even told her to move on, but Skyflight couldn't. What will happen?
Let's find out in ShadowClan.
Skyflight turned her prey over and over again, before taking a small bite. It still tasted like smoke. Skyflight wondered if the smoke would ever leave the forest, like if the scar would fade away on her heart.
"Skyflight, want to come on the sunhigh patrol?" Darkshadow asked. "Witherflower, Lichenpelt, and Frostclaw are coming."
"Sure," Skyflight shrugged before scarfing down her frog. Skyflight followed the warriors out of the camp and onto border patrolling. Skyflight checked the borders rather half-heartedly, her mind still clouded with the fire. The smoke. Her kits' last cry.
"Skyflight?" Witherflower pressed her nose to the absent-minded queen. "It's time to go now." Skyflight nodded and followed her friend to the ThunderClan border.
Skyflight soon followed the rest of the patrol back to ShadowClan dully. She padded to the warriors' den and curled up, hoping to wake up finding that her former life was back.
Skyflight awoke in StarClan's hunting grounds. Am I dead? The pale gray queen wondered as she padded forward, excitement in her eyes.
"Skyflight," A voice like silk and honey mewed behind her. Skyflight's heart skipped a beat. It was Grayblaze.
"Grayblaze!" Skyflight touched her muzzle to her mate. Grayblaze was as handsome and muscular as ever, with his shining dark gray pelt and his gentle yellow eyes. However, now he wore stars. "Have I come to join you, at last?"
"No, I'm afraid. Now is not the time. But sometime in the future, you will be with me again," Grayblaze purred. "Follow me, and I'll show you our kits." Skyflight padded happily after her mate, not caring that she was still alive, only caring that she was back with her mate again.
"Here they are," Grayblaze mewed, revealing a huge camp filled with lost ShadowClan warriors. In the nursery, three kits caught Skyflight's eyes.
"Mother!" All three of them squeaked before bounding over to their mother.
"Kits!" Skyflight let out a cry of joy before sweeping all her kits with her tail towards her, hugging them close. "Oh, Silverkit, Brightkit, Lightningkit..."
"How long can I stay here?" Skyflight asked Grayblaze.
"Your time would be up soon," Grayblaze sighed. "Use this time in StarClan well. It may be the last time you see your kits when you are living."
"But...how long will I live?" Skyflight asked, her green eyes wide with a mixture of emotions. Happiness, fright, and uncertainty.
"StarClan cannot tell you that, I'm afraid. But know that where-ever you are, our kits and I will always be with you. In your heart," Grayblaze mewed to his mate, padding forward to give her a lick on her head.
"Is it time for me to leave?" Skyflight asked anxiously, feeling the world around her start to grow fainter.
"Mother, it'll be all right. Father says we'll always be with you, and we will," Silverkit nuzzled her mother with her nose.
"We will never leave you," Lightning mewed firmly, his yellow eyes shining.
"You will see us again soon. We'll all be together soon," Brightkit promised as Skyflight left StarClan.
It turns out that Brightkit was right. Only a half-moon after Skyflight's encounter with her family, foxes had attacked ShadowClan camp. Skyflight fought bravely for her Clan, though she died at the jaws of the fox leader, later killed by Darkshadow.
Skyflight was finally reunited with her family once and for all. However, she still watched down on ShadowClan whenever she could. Skyflight could've lived to have a long, long life but she chose to end it because of her family. Skyflight never regretted that decision. It was her fate, and it was her choice to either live a long, meaningless life, or die a hero's death and to be with her family for eternity.
Skyflight was known as one of the bravest she-cats in ShadowClan. The fox leader had been half-dead when he killed Skyflight. Foxes had died from the claws and teeth of that one she-cat. Skyflight served as a reminder that even though one is sad that their family is gone, they should continue to serve their Clan until the very end.
