SPIRIT 13: FIRESTAR

Tigerstar could feel himself falling once more into darkness. But this was the last spirit he had to encounter, this was the 13th spirit. But who would it be?

And then all at once he fell onto a pile of bracken and leaves, making Tigerstar groan from the pain. Opening his eyes, Tigerstar spotted the moon hanging low in the sky.

A cat was standing over him, with stars speckled across his ginger pelt.

"Hello Tigerstar" Firestar meowed as he helped the tom up.

For once Tigerstar was grateful for the toms help, but as he looked down the former leader realized he was in his own body! And not only that, but he was in StarClan.

"Wait a minute" Tigerstar snapped at Firestar, "Your not dead, are you?".

Wouldn't the great Tigerstar had known if his arch enemy had died?

Firestar chuckled, "No, but I am on my final life. So in a way, yes I am dead. I've died eight times."

"Yeah" Tigerstar snorted, "Well I've died 13 times in one day. Not including my 9 lives taken away from that Scourge". He still was wary of seeing Scourge in the Dark Forest, although the tom didn't believe in StarClan.

"So what's my final test?" Tigerstar asked, looking Firestar in his bright green eyes.

But Firestar only stepped aside to reveal a pool a fox-length ahead, it reflected the moonlight with a luscious glow. His curiosity peaked as he gazed at the pool, it seemed to call his name.

Stepping forward to look at the murky surface, Tigerstar gasped. He saw images of cats bodies lying across a clearing, he couldn't even count how many bodies.

"What is this?" he snapped at Firestar, "Who are all these dead cats?".

Firestar stepped forward next to his formal rival, and gazed into the pool. "Those are all the cats you killed throughout your whole life. Far more than the meek 13 you experienced today" his gazed held sadness at what Tigerstar had done.

"No..." Tigerstar gasped as he saw the bodies of Deafoot, Whitestorm, Runningbrook and countless others.

"But I can't have killed all these cats" even though deep down Tigerstar knew he had. "I'm....I'm a monster, Oh Please Firestar I have to fix this!".

Instantly putting all the hatred he had to this cat away, Tigerstar looked deep into the cats eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for what I did. I should have died instead of Mistkit and Nightkit, the whole forest would have been better off." Emotion started to grasp Tigerstar as he fell to the ground, the bodies in the pool seemed to stare back at him.

"I just want it all to be over" he whispered into the darkness, "I want Tadpole and Hawkfrost to have lived long lives. I want all the parents I killed to take care of their children. And the apprentices deserved to become warriors, they deserved to live a full life."

StarClan should have taken Tigerstar the moment he was born. Or at least they tried to when sending Goosefeather a message, Pinestar should have listened!

Thinking back to what Bluestar had said, Tigerstar remembered about a final test.

"What's my final test?" he asked bleakly to Firestar, "Please I have to know so I can fix this."

The ginger tom smiled as he looked Tigerstar straight in his amber eyes. "You already passed it" he meowed happily, "Your test was to show remorse for the crimes your committed. And now as you wished, you will have a chance to be good instead of evil."

Instantly Tigerstar felt like leaping onto Firestar he was so happy, he was going to be given another chance!

"I swear I'm going to do everything right this time around. And maybe I can earn leadership the way you did" he glanced at Firestar with great respect.

"I'm sure you can" the leader meowed, "And now its time Tigerstar, we must hurry."

"Time for what?" Tigerstar looked up with curiosity, he wasn't going to have another test was he?

But the look in Firestar's eyes flickered with joy and suspense. "Time for you to be sent into the past, your going to live your life over Tigerstar. Your going to be a kit again."

A/N: Okay so when I first started this shot story I had no idea it would end up like this. I am planning a Super Edition about Tigerstar going back to the past and fixing all the wrongs he committed. But I have no idea when it will come out, I want to finish at least Sands of Chaos first. Keep watch for it though, Name suggestions for the title are greatly appreciated!
