tada! This was for a book report sooooo... ye. Please review, I'd really appreciate it! Click a button, type some letters, and voila.
He raced over, heart pounding. Placing his ear to her chest, he let out a sigh of relief upon realizing she was alive, but barely. What should I do?!
Covering her wounds hastily with marigold and cobweb, he ran as fast as he could to the Moonpool. He lay down and lapped at the water. Immediately, he fell into sleep.
He faded into the green trees and blue skies of StarClan, and Velvet was in front of him, pelt shimmering, but she looked like she wasn't quite all there, like leaders looked while they were losing their lives and figments of them came here.
"Why are you here? Just let me die!" Velvet hissed. Her figure was slowly filling in.
"Why would I let you die? Please let me fix this!" he pleaded. Her paws churned the earth beneath her.
"No! I've been abused and hurt and left behind by those who loved me! I am done letting it happen! I am done living!" Her figure gained definition and stars began to sparkle in her fur.
"I'm not going to let you keep feeling this way! Let me help you! Let me bring you back to cats who will appreciate you! Don't do this, Velvet! Please! You have a life, don't take it away…." he yelped, hoping, hoping, hoping she'd listen.
She stilled, and her pelt faded just the slightest bit. Like she was… healing from the inside!
That's it! Alderheart thought. She isn't dying from her wounds… she's dying because she's been abused and hurt by cats she thought were friends! "You aren't alone." he mewed. His voice began to grow stronger. "You have friends. You have ThunderClan, and you have me. Velvet. We will always stand beside you, and you don't have to be afraid. Don't do this to yourself, Velvet. Please don't die. Stay alive for the cats that value you the most."
Velvet paused, eyes shimmering with grief and apology, with pause and meaning.
Then she visibly relaxed, gaze shining with gratitude; and the rest of her faded away.
A flame-orange tom with leaf-green eyes faded in where Velvet had disappeared. "Well done, Alderheart." he mumured warmly.
"Thank you, Firestar." Alderheart replied, before he awoke on the cold stone of the Moonpool. He ran back to camp, wishing, dreaming...
Alderheart raced into the medicine den…
Where Velvet was just waking up, her wounds gone. He knew StarClan had healed them, just as they healed a leader's, because she had needed it so badly.
"Alderheart." she mewed warmly, her amber gaze fixed on him. An amber gaze that was no longer hurt or angry, he realized.
He breathed in relief, purring as he nuzzled the she-cat.
"Thank goodness."
