Chapter 13
Starheart went to the Moonpool and gazed at it. It may have been her second time here but it was just as glorious and she stared at the starlight reflecting off the pool.
As she headed down to the pool she heard cats coming from behind her. She turned to see Moonstream and the little black tom. Oh no,
They charged at her and she had no where to go but into the pool but she was not from RiverClan, she could not swim!
Moonstream charged at her and pushed her into the water. Starheart clawed at the water, trying to get to the surface but all she could do was stare up at Moonstream staring at her sink into the water.
Starheart looked up at the surface of the water, the stars shining down at her through the water. StarClan, please help me... she prayed that her ancestors heard her.
The stars shined brighter and Starheart looked down at her chest the stars shining on her pure white fur. One star shone right on her heart. Starheart… Starheart stared up at one red star and she couldn't help smiling, The heart of StarClan. Starheart's dream flooded her in her mind as it started to make sense, StarClan's heart is me, Starheart opened her eyes and saw Moonstream's figure above the water growing smaller and smaller. I must fulfill StarClan's prophecy.
Starheart remembered watching Hawkfrost swimming. She remembered when he taught her how to. She had never caught on but now it started to make sense. She swam, as fast as she could, choking on water as she tried to get some air.
She resurfaced and clawed the edge of the water and held on breathing hard. Moonstream stared at her, her eyes filled with shock and astonishment. Moonstream hissed and jumped on her. She had Starheart pinned down by the neck.
Starheart flipped Moonstream onto her side. "Moonstream stop this!"
"No!" Moonstream loosened Starheart's grip of off her forepaw and scraped Starheart across the face.
Starheart was blinded by blood trickling down from the left side of her forehead to her right eye. Staheart couldn't see and Moonstream flipped her on to her back. Moonstream bit her shoulder and Starheart instinctively bit the nearest body part she could reach which turned out to be Moonstream's neck.
"No!" Starheart shut her bleeding eye and saw through her left eye what she had done.
Moonstream was back to normal, black fur and blue eyes.
"I…I'm sorry…" Moonstream choked out.
"None of this was your fault." Starheart mewed.
"Will StarClan accept me after all this?" Moonstream asked.
"You aren't going to StarClan!" Starheart cried.
Moonstream smiled and shut her eyes, Starheart staring in horror.
Starheart picked up her daughter's body and carried it back to camp.
