I really loved this part with Bluestar. It was very dramatic and it took my breath away. This was quite the page turner. It's quite memorable. I did take quotes from the book...so yeah...Enjoy!

Sacrifice

Bluestar slowly followed Whitestorm to Sunngingrocks. She quickly glanced back at Fireheart as he dashed off with a few other warriors. Suddenly she heard a howl from close by and sheathed her claws.

"Come on, let's move." Whitestorm encouraged that clan to move quicker. "We have to hurry Bluestar." He said in a softer tone. The leader didn't pay much attention to his words, she had something else on her mind.

The clan finally made it to Sunningrocks. Whitestorm was busy helping the elders up the trees. Bluestar was sitting on the ground, looking towards the direction of Thunderclan. Suddenly she sad a large cat walking towards the gorge. She knew who that cat was. It was Tigerstar, the cat who betrayed her and almost killed her.

"Bluestar…Fireheart is in danger. Go! Go!" a mysterious voice meowed.

Bluestar looked around. "Am I going mad?" she asked herself.

"I'm with you, Bluestar. Starclan is watching over you." The voice said again.

"Oakheart?" Bluestar meowed. There was no reply. "Fireheart is in danger. I can't let him die. Fire alone can save the clan…and he is the fire!" without another word she dashed off. Whitestorm was too busy helping the clan, he didn't even know she had gone.

Bluestar raced towards the gorge Fireheart led the dog pack to. The old leader ran as fast as she could. She knew she couldn't let Fireheart die, she didn't want the clan to perish either. Her mind started to clear.

My clan isn't filled with traitors. They've been by my side all along...I knew that…I knew that. I tried to convince myself that Starclan had betrayed me…but deep down I knew that hadn't…I knew.

As she ran farther, her heart began to beat faster. She could smell Tigerstar's scent mixed in with the scent of dogs. They were near. She could hear the dog howling.

She could see Fireheart up ahead. A dog had had him between its jaws and was shaking him furiously. Bluestar sped up and sprang forward. She yowled a warning then pummeled into the dog. The grip of the dog loosened. Bluestar hissed and swiped her claws. The dog's barking soon turned into whimpers, it staggered off to the edge to the gorge.

"Bluestar!" she heard Firestar gasp.

Bluestar kept her gaze on the dog. She took a few steps closer until the dog was on the very edge of the gorge. Suddenly the loose ground gave in and made the dog slip down the edge. But right before it fell, it extended its neck and grabbed Bluestar's leg with its jaws and dragged her down too.

As the two animals were falling, the dog loosened its grip. The two crashed into the river below. The dog released Bluestar and tried to swim, but the current was too strong. Bluestar tried to stay in one stop, but her tired legs slowly gave in. She gasped for air every time she got her head out of the water. After a few moments, she was dragged under water.

This is it…this is my time.

Suddenly she felt something pull on her scruff. It pulled her head out of the water. She recognized that scent. It was Fireheart, her loyal deputy. Why was he risking his life to save her?

Let go Fireheart. The clan needs you. You're the one who save the clan. Let me go…I'm ready Fireheart. I'm ready…

She tried to say those words but she was too weak to speak. She noticed Fireheart using all his strength to keep both them above water. Fireheart, could hardly swim, the two cats were sinking.

Suddenly she heard a voice. "Let go. We've got her now." She knew who that was. It was her son, Stonefur. Then she noticed that her daughter, Mistyfoot, had her scruff. The two Riverclan cats dragged her to safety and laid her on a bed of pebbles. She could hear their voices, but they weren't clear.

Darkness soon surrounded her.

Wait…just for a little longer…I want to live for a little longer.

She gasped for breath, and then the darkness perished.

"Fireheart! She's alive!" Mistyfoot yelled.

She could see three cats in front of her. For a moment she was confused then everything became clear.

"Bluestar, it's Fireheart. You're all right now. You're safe." Fireheart mewed. She looked up at him then turned her head and saw her two kits. Her eyes softened with pride.

"You saved me." She murmured.

"Shhh. Don't try to talk." Mistyfoot meowed.

Bluestar didn't seem to hear what Mistyfoot said. "I want to tell you something…I want to ask you to forgive me for sending you away. Oakheart promised me Graypool would be a good mother to you." Her eyes filled with sorrow as she spoke.

"She was." She heard Stonefur say.

"I owe Graypool so much." Bluestar's tried to keep speak up so her voice could be heard clearly. "Oakheart too, for mentoring you so well. I watched you as you grew up, and I saw how much you had to give to the Clan who adopted you." Bluestar paused for a brief moment. She couldn't hold on much longer. "If I had made a different choice, you would have given all your strength to Thunderclan. Forgive me." She rasped.

Bluestar closed her tired eyes for a moment. She heard Fireheart speaking to her kits.

"She suffered a lot of pain for her choice. Please forgive her."

Fireheart, as always, stood up for me. He knew, early on, that Stonefur and Mistyfoot were my kits. Oh, thank you Fireheart…

Suddenly she could feel Mistyfoot's tongue brush along her fur. "We forgive you…" Mistyfoot mewed.

"We forgive you." Stonefur meowed as well. The two cats licked their mother's fur. Bluestar began to purr weakly. She knew now that they had forgiven her.

I'm so tired…

A few moments later Bluestar began to close her eyes. She could barely hear the voices of the ones who surrounded her. She could barely hear Fireheart's voice, but she knew he was begging her to live. Suddenly she heard a different voice.

"Bluestar…I'm waiting for you. Are you ready?" Bluestar opened her eyes. "Oakheart, have you come for me? I'm ready."

"No!" she heard Fireheart yell. "Bluestar, don't leave us." He begged.

She took a deep breath. "I must." She whispered calmly. "I have fought my last battle." She panted, if was hard for her to speak. "When I saw the Clan at Sunningrocks, the strong helping the weak…and I knew you and the others had gone to confront the pack…I knew my Clan was loyal. I knew StarClan had not turned their backs on us. I knew…" her voice began to fade. "I knew that I could not leave you to face the dange alone."

"Bluestar…" Firestar mewed sadly. Bluestar stared at him with proud yet sad eyes.

"Fire will save the Clan…" she mumbled. "You never understood, did you? Not even when I gave you your apprentice name, Firepaw. And I doubted myself, when fire raged through cam. Yet I see the truth now. Fireheart, you are the fire who will save Thunderclan…"

Bluestar could hardly hold on. She was drifting away, but she had to say one more thing. "You will be a great leader. One of the greatest the forest has ever known. You will have the warmth of the fire to protect your Clan and the fierceness of fir to defend it. You will be Firestar, the light of Thunderclan."

She gave a soft sigh and closed her eyes. She could smell the ones she loved around her.

Stonefur, Mistyfoot, I wish I was there for you. I thank you for forgiving me.

And you Fireheart…You are the light of Thunderclan.

With those final words, I left the world and made my way towards Starclan. I was guided by many of the past leaders. Once I arrived to Starclan, I saw the cat I longed to see. The cat that waited for her…

Oakheart.

What did you think? I liked the ending of this chapter, I thought it was bittersweet. Oh, yes! I have a poll because people won't stop nagging me about Raggedstar's chapter. They don't agree with me on the ending and I understand, so here's a poll...

Should I change the ending to Raggedstar's chapter? Yes or No.
