Chapter 6
Where am I? Stardream thought as she blinked open her eyes. She wasn't in any kind of forest, as far as she knew. But cats surrounded her and Stardream realized she was in Starclan. Why am I here? She thought in confusion. "Welcome Stardream of Sapphireclan," a blue gray cat meowed. A startlingly familiar tortoiseshell sat next to her. The tortoiseshell looked deep into Stardream's eyes and she suddenly knew who it was. "Jasmineleaf!" she gasped in shock. "Yes, Stardream," the tortoiseshell meowed, "it is I." "But if you're here, does that mean Echostar..." Stardream could not finish her statement. "Do not worry, Stardream," Jasmineleaf meowed, "I heard what Echostar said to you before you left, and I know she'll keep her word." "But, how could she have escaped that...incident?" Stardream asked, her eyes wide.
Jasmineleaf shook her head, "I do not know, but there is a reason why we called you here," she meowed. The blue gray cat nodded, "Jasmineleaf is right," she meowed, "by the way, I am Bluestar, former leader of Thunderclan." Stardream dipped her head in respect to the leader. Bluestar purred in amusement, "come, there is something we need to show you," she meowed and began to pad away. Jasmineleaf followed her and Stardream scrambled to keep up. They came to a stop near a pool and Stardream nearly crashed into them. "Look into the pool, little one," Bluestar meowed. Stardream looked into the pool and gasped. The pool was as black as the midnight sky and though she thought she saw something moving, she could not see anything.
"A single star will come,
and a darkness is coming for some,
revenge on a single clan,
and have some sort of plan,
but the star will be here,
to fight for what it holds dear,
and the clans will be safe at last,
when they put this into their past"
Stardream watched as a single star drifted into the middle of the darkness. The darkness seemed to starting getting lighter and lighter until it was gone completely. "What does that mean?" Stardream gasped and glanced around, but Bluestar and Jasmineleaf had vanished. In there place was a pale tabby with silver stripes. Stardream gasped in surprise at the tom in front of her. "Lighteningpelt," she gasped, her eyes wide in surprise. The pale tabby's is sparkled with amusement. "You look like you've just seen a ghost," Lighteningpelt purred, "oh wait, I am a ghost," he added. Stardream took a few steps forward until she stood in front of the pale tabby. "Your mother raised you well," he meowed, his eyes were glistening with sadness. "I wish I could find that cat that killed you and rip his fur off twice," Stardream hissed. Lighteningpelt purred, "you always had your mothers spirit," he meowed, as another cat padded to his side. The second cat was a pale gray tabby with green eyes. Stardream recognized her easily. "Dovefeather," she gasped, unable to hide her happiness. "Yes, Stardream," Dovefeather meowed.
"You're here with our father," Stardream whispered, "but I wish I could have done something to prevent your death." "It was meant to happen," Dovefeather meowed, "just like father's death was meant to happen, nobody can turn aside the paws of fate." "But Lighteningpelt, you and now Echostar, I've lost everyone I was ever close to," Stardream whispered. "You were barely an apprentice when I died," Dovefeather meowed, "and you barely knew me, and father died when you were ready to become a warrior." "But why?" Stardream wailed, "I hardly knew Lighteningpelt, and you knew him better then I did, because he died when I was still an apprentice, its so unfair."
"It's unfair that you got to know mother longer," Dovefeather retorted, "and Lighteningpelt has always watched over you, whenever and where ever you where." "I know, I just wish I had known him more," Stardream whispered. "Uh, hello, I'm still here, you know," Lighteningpelt meowed, in exasperation. Stardream and Dovefeather turned to Lighteningpelt. "We must go, Stardream, my daughter," Lighteningpelt whispered, "but we will always watch over you, and guide you along the path Starclan has chosen for you." "Wait! Don't go!" Stardream cried. "We must, and you must return to your friend," Dovefeather mewed as she faded away into the darkness.
