Chapter 2:

Halostar woke up in her moss and feather nest. It was the first time she had slept in it and it felt warm and comfortable. Then she felt a sharp pain in her back. It was bleeding heavily. Halostar stumbled out of the den and to the medicine cat den.

"Hello Halos-" Petalpool started meowing and stopped when she saw Halostar. "Come here quickly." Halostar stepped into the nest in the medicine den and laid there while Petalpool dressed her wounds again.

"Thank you, Petalpool." Halostar meowed and left the medicine den.

As she was leaving Petalpool called after her, "Come back if it starts bleeding again." Halostar nodded and padded over to Willowstar's body. If was freezing cold. The elders would bury her later after the warriors, apprentices, and queens sat vigil. Willowstar's fur was groomed in a way that covered her wounds. Without knowledge of what had happened, you would think she just died. Halostar remembered the last thing Willowstar had said to her.

"Lead the clan well, Halotail. It is the only thing that I ever loved." Halostar felt herself start to cry, but she stopped herself. No matter how much she wanted to, she couldn't cry in front of her clan. She didn't want them to know that she felt like there was no hope for anything good ever again.

Halostar stood still near a pine tree as a white flake dropped down into her nose. The air had a certain chill in it, as if everything would freeze at that exact moment. Leaf bare was coming. The grass in the forest was brown and lifeless, the flowers shriveled. Halostar hated leaf bare. She hated snow. Leaf bare was cold, and empty. And it was normally the season that the clan would starve. Halostar reminded herself to get Talontail to increase the number of hunting patrols.

Halostar padded back into camp with a vole and a mouse in her jaws. She dropped it on the fresh-kill pile and padded to her den. She laid down to think for a bit. She thought about the times she shared with Ebonyclaw. She missed a lot. He was have her one of her nine lives. He gave her that life for eternal love. She had been so sad when he just padded back to the group of nine cats. She wanted to tell him she missed him. She would do anything to get him back.

Halostar padded out of her den. Shadowsight padded up to her.

"Hello Halostar." Shadowsight meowed. Halostar blinked. "I'm moving into the nursery!"

"Congratulations!" Halostar meowed. Shadowsight dipped her head and Halostar moved on. She stopped beside the gossiping apprentices. She remembered the first day she had become an apprentice. She was so excited. And her mother looked like she would burst with pride when Halostar was named Willowstar's apprentice. Halostar had had a lot of loss in her life. She had lost her father and mother in a fire when she had only just become an apprentice. All that loss left wounds in her heart not even a medicine cat can heal.

Hey everyone! I need two DarkClan littermates for Halostar and a mate for Shadowsight. I also need RiverClan cats, and elders for all clans, especially DarkClan. Thanks to Duskspiral, icanwrite13, Anna, and The imprisoned of Hell for submitting OCs!
