We awoke the next morning and said goodbye to the barn cats. Barley seemed to be a bit more relaxed as we left. Perhaps it's because of what I ordered to be done to his sister all those seasons ago?

We kept walking until Pinky complained that she was hungry, which she did every hour. It slowed us down a bit, but we didn't lose hope. Except for Pinky.

"This isn't my home! All I see are fields of grass everywhere! And where will we sleep this time? I hope I don't see any wild cats! I hear they're...wild." Pinky said over and over.

"It's probably just a tale they tell you kittypets so you stay in your home with your housefolk." I say, trying to comfort her.

I flashed back, remembering the tales Quince told me about the wild cats.

Mother, you were right. I thought. The wild cats are fierce. But now I'm old enough to take them on.

"I know this place!" Pinky said,"It's where the wild cats share tongues with StarClan. Sasha told me about it."

StarClan? Brokenstar's voice echoed. You don't believe that mousebrained idea, do you? Only a mousebrain would believe such a thought.

"I don't believe in StarClan." I said, "But I guess it was a miracle that I lived through that Battle of BloodClan."

"What's BloodClan?" Pinky asked.

"Well, it's broken up now." I began to explain. "But BloodClan was started by a cat. This cat...was me."

Pinky stared at me for a while, then suggested we go and see the Moonstone.

More mousebrained ideas. Brokenstar voice echoed again. Make this mission to get this kittypet home quick. Then, you can continue your takeover...from scratch.

"We might as well go inside and see it while we're here." Pinky said, "I might never have another chance."

I nodded and had Sasha lead the way into the cave. It was pitch black.

"I can't see anything!" Pinky complained again.

"Try sniffing out a clan cat's scent or something." I suggested.

Pinky had caught the scent and followed it without any further complaints.

I wonder what this Moonstone looks like...I thought. Even though I don't believe in StarClan...I might as well see what it's all about.

Pinky was the first to see the light from the Moonstone.

Soon, Sasha and I followed not too far behind.

"It's so pretty." I said.

"So, how exactly did these wild cats share tongues with StarClan?" Pinky asked.

"I think they had their nose touch the stone." Sasha replied.

"Ok, I'll try it." Pinky said, touching the Moonstone with her nose. She soon fell asleep.

Sasha did the same, and I followed. I felt sleepy.

Resist the sleepy feeling, Scourge! Brokenstar's voice echoed. We could leave them behind! Scourge? Hey, wake up!

I was dreaming, I knew that.

I was in a peaceful forest and saw a white fluffy tom with blue eyes.

"Daddy!" He ran up to me.

I let him nuzzle me.

Sasha walked up and licked my ear.

"You missed a spot when you were grooming." Sasha said.

I watched the kit run around and chase after a butterfly.

"Cloudkit! Look out!"

A cat lunged at Cloudkit.

I ran to Cloudkit, but it was too late.

The cat had left, and killed him.

I awoke, wondering where I was.

I was laying down next to the Moonstone. Pinky was fast asleep.

"Sleep well?" Sasha asked.

I nodded.

"Let's continue forward. I smell faintly a cat. Could be a friend of yours." I suggested.

"Great!" Pinky said, "Let's go!"
