Chapter 9:

Halostar laid quietly in her den, staring at the night sky with only one star. She thought of what might be happening at the gathering, while her clan was asleep in it's nests. Then she smelled something. She saw a glint of jet black eyes in the back of her den. Then claws dug into her back. Then teeth bit into her throat. She saw a faint outline of Willowstar.

"Help me!" Halostar yowled. But Willowstar did nothing.

"It is your destiny to die now." Willowstar meowed. Halostar felt her nine lives ebbing away, one by one. Then she went limp. She stepped out of her body and ran into the sky with Willowstar guiding her.

The End….
