"Frostheart? Icefire told me you need to talk to me?" I said waking up in Starclan. I looked around but couldn't find her. I stood up and walked around until I ran into somebody. "Hello?" I asked curiously. There was a cream tortoiseshell laying in the grass. She looked at me with large blue eyes. "Hello, you must be Shadowheart. I've heard a lot about you." she said rolling over.
"Who are you?" I asked. "My name is Berryfrost, I was a warrior of Thunderclan." she said sitting up in front of me. "Did you pass away recently?" I asked remembering what Silverstar told me about how the warriors of Starclan didn't mind talking about these type of things. "Yes, sadly..." she drifted off. "Did you have a mate or kits?" I asked totally forgetting about Frostheart.
"A mate, he still lives and hopefully he will join me someday." she said. "Who is he?" I asked once more. "His name is Creampelt. You know him don't you?" she asked starting to wash her fur. "Oh yes, I know Creampelt, I wouldn't say we are particularly close, but we know each other." I said uncertainly. She laughed a long forgotten laugh and rolled around on the forest floor. I laughed along with her and decided to roll on the floor as well.
"Creampelt used to be really nice, but grief and loss struck his heart and now he'll never be happy again. I don't know how to reach him, to tell him that he should let go of me and be happy again, but the leaders won't let me." she said sadly sitting up suddenly and telling me this. "Hmm, that's not right, don't all of the clans dream here?" I asked thinking of a plan.
"Yes they do, but it's absolutely forbidden for us to go and disturb them." she said, a small smile creeping onto her face. I smiled back at her, she knew where I was going with this. "Come on! We don't have all night." I said getting up and running nowhere. "I know where he dreams, follow me!" she said running next to me and a little to the left.
"You know where he dreams yet you have never visited him?" I asked running beside her. "No, because I have been a coward but now you are here." she said looking back at me and then running a little faster. I smiled and easily catched up. We arrived at a dark hole where Creampelt was sleeping at the bottom.
"He doesn't want to dream, but he has no choice, so he dreams about being stuck in a hole unable to escape, he has had the same exact dream ever since I died." she said looking down on him sadly with a look of longing on her face. "Go to him." I whispered in her ear. She looked at me and then flew into the hole landing softly in front of him.
"Who is it." he asked not opening his eyes. She looked up at me and then said, "Your worst nightmare." I laughed and watched as he opened his eyes slowly and looked up at Berryfrost. "Berryfrost?" I could tell that he was speechless as he looked at her and she looked at him. "Oh Creampelt, I've missed you so much." she said coming up to him and putting her head on his.
"You have no idea Berryfrost." he whispered closing his eyes and basking in the moment. I smiled and just sat there and watched because I had nothing better to do. They sat down and for awhile didn't say anything. Creampelt was first to talk, "Were you able to have...?" he stopped unable to talk as Berryfrost just shook her head.
"It's impossible." she said looking at him sadly. "What are they talking about?" I whispered to myself. "Berryfrost was pregnant when she died." Frostheart said sitting next to me and looking down at the couple. "Oh my... she lost the kits?" I asked thinking about how awful that must have been. "Yes she did, Silverstar says there should be a way but some of the older leaders say it's impossible." Frostheart sighed looking at me with a look.
I had a thought, "Nothings impossible. What about reincarnating, can't they just bring her back to life?" I asked. "Yes they can do that, but not as a full grown cat." Frostheart explained. "Does she still have them?" I asked wondering. "Yes she does, but it's impossible to produce living in the world of the dead." Frostheart said sadly.
"That's mousebrained." I said thinking hard about this. "You can't save everyone Shadow. Like they said, its impossible." Frostheart said looking down on me. "Can't you guys visit us? Like a falling star?" I asked thinking once more. "Yes we can but only for a couple minutes a day." Frostheart explained once more.
"I don't understand. If she died then the kits died, so she should be able to have them, right?" I asked. "Yes that's true... but they still have to grow in her and you don't grow in Starclan." Frostheart said with another sigh. I felt like this has been the longest I have ever been in Starclan. "Not to change the subject or anything, but why haven't I left yet? How come Creampelt hasn't woken up yet? What's going on?" I asked Frostheart.
She smiled, "the leaders of Starclan wanted the warriors to have a meeting day, talk with old relatives, mates, kits, that type of thing." she said still smiling. "Really? How long does it last?" I asked her. "One whole day." she replied. "How long did Berryfrost have before she died?" I asked thinking extremely fast."Only a couple minutes, because that's how she died. She had whitecough while having her kits." Frostheart said starting to understand.
"You don't think?" I asked turning toward her. "Shadowheart! That just might work!" She said jumping up and running away. I could've followed her but I knew I wouldn't catch up because she's a wizard and can use super speed. I sat down and watched Berryfrost and Creampelt talk about clan life. They seemed to understand each other.
I heard Berryfrost laugh when Creampelt explained Tigertail's injury and how he has an apprentice now because of that. Berryfrost then explained what she does on a daily basis here and how she can get lonely once in awhile. I wondered if this is what Wildstar and I looked like, that thought made me smile. Frostheart eventually appeared out of nowhere just like how Icefire taught her.
"They agreed. They are going to try it tomorrow." Frostheart said with a huge grin on her face. "Should we tell her?" I asked looking down on them once more. "I can tell her later." Frostheart said. "Your brother and sister are waiting for you. This is a once in a lifetime thing Shadowheart, don't waste it." Frostheart said with a smile.
I gave her a look and then followed her into the forest where many families were talking and laughing and having a great time. Eventually we came across a clearing next to a river. Petalfur glanced behind her and looked at me. "Shadowheart!" she said running toward me and tackling me right then and there. Barkclaw just casually walked toward us as she slowly got off me.
"Frostheart, a cat was here earlier spying on us. We chased her away, but it seems she has come back and now is hiding once more under the water." Barkclaw explained. Frostheart walked passed me and before she could reach the river an orange cat with white paws and belly raced out of the water. Frostheart's bright blue eyes glowed intensely while staring at the orange she-cat. She started to run backwards, it seemed Frostheart put her on reverse.
The orange cat came to a stop in front of Frostheart. Frostheart looked at the she-cat longingly, she wasn't mad or anything as she let the cat go. "I thought you were dead." Frostheart whispered to her. The she-cat came up to Frostheart and put her head on hers, "I've missed you, so much!" She said lovingly.
"Who is this?" I asked quietly, not trying to break the bond or anything. "This is Swiftpath." Frostheart said. "She is your mother's sister. She left around the age of an apprentice to search for the real warriors, it seems she has found them." Frostheart said looking at Swiftpath. "Actually it's Sunfur now." she said softly.
"Sunfur? Well I guess its the rules. But why did you change your main name? You could've just kept Swift, like what Shadow did." Petalfur wondered. "I know, but I didn't think I would ever see my family again, so I asked them to change my whole name, and they did." she said still soft. "Well I don't mind, it fits you and I'm glad your happy." Frostheart said still smiling.
Sunfur smiled and then looked at me, "So Shadowheart. I heard you have kits now." she said with a small smile. I smiled back at her, "Yes a couple days ago. Did Wildstar-" and then it hit me.
Wildstar must be here with the kits...
