Chapter 3

SpottedDream opened her eyes to see four tall oak trees. She was at FourTrees- but how? She looked down to see- red grass? SpottedDream stared at the grass, damp with blood. She was at the battle. One that she hoped would be hidden and forgotten in the future- the battle where peace broke in half, and hatred took over Fourtrees.

Her fur bristled and hatred rushed through her body as she now saw the evil ShadowClan leader- ThornStar. He was a pure-black short-haired tom with bright amber eyes. His pelt was messy, and stained with blood- LightStar's blood. He stood over LightStar, about to deliver the final blow when SpottedDream threw herself at him. But, she flew right through him and ended up tumbling down on the grass. He didn't even notice her, either! She scratched at the large, muscular tom- nothing. Everything she tried showed no harm. "LightStar was right…I can't change time." She whispered sadly. She tried to think of how she could get back to her time, when she heard a horrible cry of pain. She stared in horror as she watched LightStar being murdered, and she couldn't stop it.

Why did she have to go through this horrible death again!?! She couldn't take it. SpottedDream yowled out, and ran. Ran to who knows where. She didn't know, StarClan didn't know. She simply ran to escape her troubles, but she couldn't escape.

Running through the trees, with the power of ShadowClan, emotions of ThunderClan, speed of WindClan and of course, majestic and beautiful, as her own clan. She ran without pausing until she reached the river, and stared into it. She didn't even know what she was thinking. Did she want to die? No- she didn't- right? But…she really wasn't sure. She didn't have time to think either- something deep inside her forced her to jump in!
