Waterpaw tried to move. But she couldn't. Some mysterious force was keeping her back.
"You had a choice…" a voice whispered. Waterpaw's eyes glazed with fear. "You didn't have to bring Wave with you. You didn't have to go out exploring." The voice boomed suddenly in a chilled tone. "BUT you did… and now you will pay for what happened, and what you did to me…"
Waterpaw's heart froze. "Charmpaw?" she squealed. The scenery stopped. The bees froze, the wind stopped blowing.
A very bloody young cat stormed in front of her, its bloodshot eyes glaring into hers.
Waterpaw gasped. "What- what happened to you!" Her eyes locked onto the hideous face of the she-cat. "How- how did you become like this!"
Scarlet drops scattered the floor. The eyes widened and the nostrils flared. "You don't know, do you?" she spat. "You betrayed me, Waterpaw. You betrayed me and left me there to die." For a moment the cat's eyes were swallowed in sorrow.
"It's not like that Charmpaw, I didn't leave you to-"
"I don't care what you say!" Charmpaw hissed. "But you will pay, Waterpaw." The bloody she-cat became very spiritual as her blood scarred pelt busted into flame. Then, she began to fly towards Waterpaw.
The medicine cat apprentice couldn't react. Her paws were stuck to the floor. Charmpaw drove into her body, pushing Waterpaw's own spirit away. "Good bye, Waterpaw!" the voice said harshly.
The apprentice screamed as she felt herself lifting. Her body- it was right there! "StarClan, help me!" she yelled. She disappeared.
Charmpaw however, settled herself in the new body. She lifted one paw and sniffed it. Her eyes narrowed. "Perfect," she whispered. One dark red mark scored across her brow.
The scenery came back. The bees began to storm. But Charmpaw wasn't afraid. She ran through them in a jolt. "When this is over, the forest will be mine!"
StarClan hissed angrily in her ears, but she didn't care. "StarClan… I despise you all." Her head whip-lashed to the other side. "Revenge is what I'll do, and you can't stop me." She turned tail, in Waterpaw's body, and began to pad towards her formal Clan.
