Chapter Fourteen
After walking for awhile Wild noticed that it was starting to rain, hard. She rushed to find cover. There seemed to be nothing but a small cave anywhere. As Wild ran into the cave she gasped. Its walls were covered in many crystals that shone like stars. She then felt tired and curled up near the side of the cave. Just as she was falling asleep, a voice said "Just what are you doing so far from home?"
Wild leaped up to see a large longhaired white she cat, whose pelt sparkled staring at her. "Y-you" said Wild recognizing the she-cat as the one who had told her to come to the forest in a dream. "Yes, I never thought it would come to this." said the she-cat "My name is Flowercloud, I was the first medicine cat of PineClan." "But you should be dead than." said Wild "I am" Flowercloud said "But my spirit lives on. I am a warrior of StarClan." "Your real." said Wild with eyes wide "I thought that the StarClan, stories Cloverpaw told me where just superstition."
"Yes we are real." Flowercloud said "But that is not why I am here, you see Wild you must return to your group and become the leader. It is your destiny." "Why should I listen you." Wild grumbled "Why can't I choose what It do with my life." "You mean waste it wandering through the unown, instead of bringing your friends together to in a home where they can be safe." hissed Flowercloud "They don't need me to do that!" Wild hissed back.
"They will never survive the wrath of Pineclan without you! As we speak Duskshade and Ravanstar plan to destroy them. You know that they will have no mercy." "Why do you care Wild grumbled "Don't you want your clan to win?" "PineClan has been corrupted" said Flowercloud with pain in her voice "It is now a symbol of fear and brutality. We need you and your friends to help save it."
"We'll I'm sorry but I am not the cat for the job." said Wild wrapping her tail around herself "Get someone who is brave, and strong." "You're exactly the cat for the job."
said Flowercloud sitting next to her." We've been watching you ever since you first showed promise as a kit." Than a Flowercloud stood up and said "Still we can reason with you, but we can't control you. In the end only you decide." Flowercloud moved away. Wild sat still deep in thought. Than she abruptly stood up. "I choose my friends" she whispered.
"What was that" said Flowercloud turning around "I said I choose my friends!" Wild said almost shouting. Flowercloud smiled "Very well than" she said "But before you return we must give you a gift." Suddenly, hundreds of starry cats appeared on the ledges around the cave. Wild gasped, as Flowercloud said "To make you an official leader, we are going to give you nine lives. Normally we would have cats you know give them, but on short notice others will have to suffice." Flowercloud stepped in front of Wild "I shall start it." She touched her nose it Wild, and a shock went through her body. "With this life I give you courage, to face your foes and yourself." Flowercloud said as she stepped away, and a small red she-cat took her place "Hello" she-said "I am Fleetstep." she touched Wild's nose "With this life I give you strength, use it to defend your clan, and always remember that it may come from unlikely places." Wild smiled as Fleetstep reminded her of Cloverpaw. Next came a dark brown tabby tom "I am Mossynight." he said "And with this life I give you intelligence. Always remember to stop and think even in the heat of battle."Suddenly it seemed that the world was so much sharper and clear, but maybe that was her imagining. Behind him came a lovely dark blue she-cat "My name is Bluewish." she said tenderly "With this life I give you love. Treat the clan as if they are your kits." Wild felt as if the warmness from Bluewish was seeping into her at that moment. Next was a tan tom "The names Seedjump," he said informally "With this life I give you humor. Remember to smile when things seem rough." Wild giggled at the glares, that Seedjump was getting from the older cats. Following him was a big dark ginger tom "You can call me Adderstone" he said warmly. 'With this life I give you loyalty. Always remember who your friends are. With that Wild felt an even stronger desire to return to her friends, but she had to get her other lives. A golden she-cat padded up her, and boldly said "Hey, I'm Yellowpool!" She touched her nose to Wilds."With this life I give you determination. Never ever give up!" Wild felt her pelt burn with enthusiasm. Following Yellowpool was a small black she-cat "Oh uh hi, I'm called Blackspeck." Then timidly touched Wild's nose "With this life I give you mercy, Never hurt a beaten cat. Wild felt her heart surge with love and forgiveness, as Blackspeck backed away. The final cat was a huge brown tom, with black markings. He lowered his head to Wild and said "Wild I am Pinestar, the founder of PineClan. With this life I give you honnor. Always do the right thing." Wild felt herself grow stronger with the life. Than Pinestar whispered to her "Please, help my clan save itself." Before he boomed in a loud powerful voice "Wild from this point on I pronounce you Wildstar. Use your lives to serve your clan."" Wildstar, Wildstar" the StarClan cats chanted. Wildstar's heart blazed with pride. She made a promise to herself and her clan "Don't worry Cloverpaw." she thought "I coming back for you."
