Darkmoon POV

I let out a hiss and tear my eyes away from the pool. No! I won't watch as my clan mates live loyal lives! I began to run, nothing existed here, nothing but me, the pool, and eternal darkness and I couldn't stand it anymore so I ran. Though time and distance do not exist in this place I felt as if I had run many river-lengths and many seasons before I caught sight of starlight up ahead. As I broke through the nothingness I was blinded briefly by the bright starlight, catching a glimpse of a gorgeous prey-rich forest, lit by stars and a full moon before darkness descended and the once prey and light-filled forest was dark, and eerily silent, there was no moon, no stars, and the trees seemed to glow in some eerie half-light with no discernable source. I looked up and could not tell where trees ended and sky began. It was as if my mere presence had corrupted this once beautiful place. I turned and ran in a different direction.

Time and time again I found myself in starlight only to have it fall to darkness by my presence. Once, the star-place had a river and when this part of the forest turned dark I paused by the river, thirsty. The pool had been my only source of water and it was poisonous, of course I was dead so it couldn't kill me but it had left me in pain for what had felt like moons. The river, however, had been clear and shiny before my presence turned it dark so I figured it must be clean. I bent my head to lap up the dark, inky, water and drew back, horrified by the sickeningly familiar taste in my mouth. The river did not run with water but with blood! Spitting the thick liquid out of my mouth, I turned and ran back the way I came.

The next time I came across the starlight place I kept running, trying to outrun the darkness following in my wake. I skid to a stop as three cats suddenly appear in my path. Panting, I meet the blue-gray eyes of Frostwhisker. Behind the former LeopardClan Healer are a lion and a tiger- who I assume were once Healers of their respective clans. Frostwhisker's eyes are filled with a mix of sorrow, regret, and pity, and as I draw my eyes away- having no desire for his pity- I see that his pelt- as well as those of the other two cats- seem to be made of stars.

"This must stop." Frostwhisker says, voice icily calm.

"You are destroying the territory of the stars- territory that has existed for countless seasons." Said the tiger, his amber eyes cold, and his tone harsh.

"What's the matter?" I sneer, "Scared?"

The tiger- who was awfully hotheaded for a Healer and a Star- tensed as if he were about to attack. The lion barred the tiger's way with her tail, "Calm yourself Blazeheart. She knows not what she does." She scolds before turning kind blue eyes on me, "We have come to make a deal."

"What kind of deal? I stop destroying your home and you let me join your ranks?" I snarl, "Why would I want to join you? I lived for your precious Laws, I killed for them, and I died rather than live outside of them yet you cast me out as if I'm not good enough to be a Star."

Frostwhisker's voice is sympathetic when he says, "Even if we wanted to we could not let you join our ranks."

Blazeheart interrupts, his vice filled with contempt as he adds, "You killed yes, your own father!"

"Emberspots was not my father!" I hiss

"Not by blood but he raised you as his own, and still you killed him and when it came time to face the consequences you killed yourself rather than face your punishment like a true warrior. The likes of you will never be allowed into the territory of the Stars!" Blazeheart spat.

The lion gives Blazeheart a glare before turning to me, "You are the first to betray her clan in such a way as to be cast out from the Stars. But you will not be the last. Others will come whose deeds are far worse than yours, and like you they will not be content to stay within the realm of darkness." I shivered in spite of myself, her words sounded like a prophecy. The she-cat continued, "The deal is this: The Stars will give up some of our territory and in exchange-"

I interrupt, "Let me guess, in exchange I fight for you when these other dark cats rise against you."

The lion shakes her head, "No we cannot force you to fight on the side of the Stars. In exchange for some of our territory you must never cross our borders again with evil in your heart."

I think about it for a moment before nodding and lifting a paw and slicing through the pad, causing blood to ooze out. I lift the bloody paw and place it in front of me to seal our agreement and to mark the new border. In silent agreement, Blazeheart and the lion she-cat step back to let my former clan mate make the deal. Frostwhisker does not bloody his paw but simply puts its shiny form over my dark one, sealing the deal.

At once the dark forest around me seems to solidify and stretch until it meets the invisible border, splitting the sky in two. If the intangibility of my old territory had made my mind unstable, the solidity of the new one stabilized me. Suddenly overwhelmed with regret and sorrow, I met Frostwhisker's sympathetic eyes and said softly, "I'm so sorry. I never meant to go this far. For what its worth I'm grateful for what the Stars did here. If it comes to war between the Stars and the cats of the Dark Forest, I will always fight on the side of the Stars." Frostwhisker holds my gaze for a long time, at last he nods before turning and- followed by his two companions- disappears into the starlit forest.

A/N: I'm sorry for the sad ending but as those of you who have read Dark Moon know, I don't typically like or write happy endings. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this story and if you haven't already you should read Dark Moon as this story is kind of a prequel to it. Farewell until next time .
