Chapter 6

SpottedDream was back with StarClan. She wondered if she had died. Then she could be with LightStar forever. She was in the same beautiful surroundings. It was like a beautiful green-leaf and new-leaf day together. Then, over the same hill, she found the amazing tom walk majestically towards SpottedDream.

"Hello, SpottedDream. I'm glad you are ok." He whispered.

"So I'm not dead?" SpottedDream asked, half happily, half disappointedly. "What's going to happen?" Lightstar smiled. "You should be leading your clan, they look worried." SpottedDream looked down seeing Rockheart, frantically trying to wake SpottedDream up. "SpottedDream?" She asked. "SpottedDream wake up!" The clan stood before the Highcave nervously.

"What's going on?"

"Is she ok?"

"We need our leader!"

"Is she breathing?"

"What happened?"

"Help her!"

SpottedDream looked at LightStar. "What is going on? Why are they asking if I'm breathing? I'm alive! Aren't I?" LightStar tried to explain. "You had died in your sleep from being lost in Starclan's time for to long." SpottedDream stared wide-eyed back at LightStar. "But who is going to lead the clan? They need me!"

Lightstar looked. "So now you understand. You are the rightful leader. They need you, and you need them. Now you know why you deserve to lead the clan-but its to late." SpottedDream looked at Lightstar, her eyes watery. "Bu-But-Remember the blizzard? And when I saved that kit? And the rat attack! And-and" SpottedDream looked at LightStar. "I love you. But my clan has helped me before, and I help them. I need to continue that. I'm sorry. Isn't there any way I can go back?"

LightStar looked at SpottedDream with pride in her eyes. "You'll be a terrific leader. And don't forget I'll always be with you."

"I won't."
