A/N: Me: Alright man it's time!

Violetmoon: Er, for what?

Me: Oh you'll soon find out my friend.

Violetmoon: 0_0 . . . .

A World Turned Around

"So explain to me what happens now?"

Sol looked up from lapping some of the water from the stream and answered my question. "Well um . . . ."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Why do I sense there's something you don't wanna tell me?"

He let out a breath. "Don't kill me-"

"It depends."

"I know you're pregnant, and that's a burden as it is, but you kind of . . . . have to fight Mapleshade."

My opens widened. "Are you on crack! You except me to fight a spirit from the Dark Forest while I'm ready to explode with kits!"

"Lots of women have done amazing things while they were pregnant."

I raised a cat brow. "Oh yeah? Name three."

Sol's yellow eyes sifted nervously side-to-side. "Well . . . That Native American Sacagawea helped Louis and Clark explore the Louisiana Purchase and she was well into pregnancy, not mention she climbed the Rock Mountains-which I heard are just a bitch to look at. And then there's that Bollywood actress, Madhuri Dixit, who did a film well into her pregnancy."

He did a sneaky smile. Oh this man was good. He probably read in my mind that Devdas with Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai (probably the Queens of Bollywood) was one of my favorite films since childhood.

"And," he added. "On top of being pregnant, she had to dance with gowns that weighed over thirty pounds with jewels and decorations."

I gave a huff. "Alright so you got two, who's the third?"

"You," he nodded.

I laughed. "Ah-ha. And what makes you think I'll magically decide to do it."

His face suddenly turned serious. "Because I know that deep down inside, you know you have to do this."

His words caught me. But they were true. Even though I loved these unborn kits, I knew that I had to do would be important to millions of lives.

With a sigh, I nodded. "Take me to the Dark Forest."

I rested my head on his shoulder as we transported from this world of beauty to the dark, depressing world of the Dark Forest.

Sol's soft fur warmed me cheek. I was grateful for all of his doings. He was risking the wrath of Kiara to help me. I remember how he comforted me after Blackstar dumped me. My heart was torn into a million pieces, and he helped to mend it together. Looking into his yellow eyes, they seemed like little suns lighting up my darkness. Maybe there was another reason he chose the name Sol. Just maybe.

The Dark Forest was well . . . . dark. But something about it seemed odd. It had been a while since I had set foot in this dark atmosphere, but something about it just wasn't right.

Before I could walk forward, Sol stepped in front of me.

"Wait," he told me.

I obeyed him and waited.

The silence was terrible. The wind that blew through the black trees sounded more like someone moaning. I shivered. A gentle tail wrapped around my shoulders both warmly and protectively.

Sol glared into the darkness, his yellow eyes scanning the area. "They know we're here." He looked around some more. "And they're waiting for us."

He gestured for us to start walking forward. With caution, I creep carefully into the Dark Forest. Sol led the way. I followed silently as he kept an ear out for anyone who might try to jump us.

It was as we reached a giant black oak, that Sol stopped in his tracks. He held up his tail telling me wait. I froze on the spot.

Walking from a black mist, Tigerstar strode up to us. He smiled ugly yellow and chipped teeth. "We've been waiting."

"Good," Sol said.

He was about to walk forward, but Tigerstar held up a paw. He leaned over and looked to me.

"Before you fight, Mapleshade wants to set some rules."

I narrowed my eyes. "Like what?"

"One, you are not to receive any help from anyone-" He looked at Sol, then back to me. "As she won't either. Two, you may not use any of your magic."

My eyes widened. Sol let out a pissed-off growl. "Now that's-"

"Completely fair." Tigerstar glared at the two of us. "She's a mortal spirit with no powers of her own. Well not as great as Violetmoon's anyway."

Swallowing every shout and scream I was about to unleash I nodded to Tigerstar.

"Alright, fine. What else?"

"Last and final one. If you win, you can take our army that we've been training and use them in your up coming battle with Kiara."

I was about to nod, but Tigerstar quickly continued.

"However, if you lose, your kits shall be taken, and raised and trained here in the Dark Forest."

I almost lost my balance. Sol stared wide-eyed at Tigerstar, then he ran back to me.

"Violetmoon, you mustn't think too fast on this-"

"I'll do it."

Sol's yellow eyes were as wide at the sun itself. Tigerstar smiled in satisfaction.

"Excellent. Mapleshade will be glad to know of the new warriors to add to our army soon." An evil laugh followed that statement. He beckoned for us to follow him.

Sol and I stayed a good two feet behind Tigerstar so we could talk without him hearing.

"Are you mad!" Sol whispered. "Betting on not only your kits' lives, but on that of a million others?"

I kept a hard face on. "Sol, I trust you. Now, you need to trust me."

That got him quiet. He didn't say anything for a minute. Finally, with a deep sigh, he nodded. "Alright. I . . . I trust you. But I hope you know what you're doing."

I nodded. "I'm positive I know what I'm doing." I've done it before . . .

We were taken to a dark field filled with cats, some of them dead, some of them dead, some of them there to train to become "better" warriors.

Sitting tall on a rock in the center of the field, Mapleshade sat with her chest out, shoulders back, and head high. She looked at my huge belly and smiled.

"This'll be an easy fight to win."

I smirked at her. "Don't think ahead Mapleshade." Another smirk. "But it seems thinking isn't really your thing is it?"

She glared at me as I continued.

"You didn't think when you took a RvierClan cat as a mate did you? And look where that led you. You have no kits, no family, and no clan. And you try to make up your loss but causing misery in others."

Her green eyes got wide in both anger and sorrow. I continued anyway.

"Nothing comes out of causing pain in others except for just causing more pain in yourself. You need to let go. Let go of the past, leave it all behind you. What's done is done, there's nothing you can do about it."

She looked away. "And you? You talk as if the whole world loves you."

"The world may not love me, but my clan-my family-loves me. That's enough for me."

She looked at me and laughed. "You're pathetic, just as Kiara said you were."

"And you're as miserable and lonely, just as everyone else says you are."

She unsheathed her claws. "Say that again dirt-colored half-Spirit, warrior wannabe!" An evil laughed came from her. "You think you can ever be a warrior. For one, a warrior has to be a cat. You're just passing as something you're not."

"I'm more cat than you'll ever be. You're not a cat, not a spirit, not even a thing! You're a plague! You destroy everything! You destroyed your reputation in ThunderClan, you destroyed your relationship with your mate, you even destroyed your own kits!"

Her eye twitched a little, like she might actually cry. I felt I gone overboard, but they virus deserved it. She was a demon that needed to be stopped. And it was up to me to do it.

Mapleshade was speechless. Her chest heaved up and down as she searched for words to say. But instead saying words, she let out a battle cry and jumped on me.

Her paw was pressing down on my belly. I could even feel my kits struggling with pain inside as she crushed me.

"Let's see who has no kits now!" she whispered fiercely in my ear.

As she pressed more weight down on me, I let out a scream of pain as I felt her claws digging into my flesh. Raising my forepaw, I swiped it across her chest. She tumbled back yowling in pain.

I got up, rubbing my belly with my tail. Mapleshade was struggling to stand up, but she just fell down. Now was the time to set my plan in motion.

Walking up to her, I placed a paw on her chest. "Have you no love in your heart."

She spat blood on my face. "Love is useless! Only fools believe in love."

I shook my head. "On no, Mapleshade. That's something you never comprehended. Love is a powerful thing. It could be used to create something . . ."

I pressed down on her chest. Removing my paw, a light suddenly started to form on her chest. It began to spread all over her body and she yelled in fear and pain.

"Or it can destroy something."

The light began to cause her to decompose. She disappeared into yellow dust that floats away into the wind.

Mapleshade was gone.

I turned to face the shocked crowd. They all stood wide-eyed at me. Some took a few steps back.

Tigerstar came running up to me. "You violated one of the rules! It was agreed that no magic-"

"I didn't use any magic."

"Oh you didn't? Then how do you explain what jut happened?"

I shrugged, looking back to where Mapleshade. "It was love."

Tigerstar gave me a confused look.

"Love is what destroyed Mapleshade not any spell or curse I used," I explained. "Mapleshade spirit was so dark and shadowed. She herself had forgotten what love was, or what it felt like to have some. My strong love for my kits, my friends, my family was all too much for her dark spirit to handle. It was like shinning light into a dark room. The light took over."

I looked back at Tigerstar. He said nothing, and backed away from me. I jumped on to the rock Mapleshade was standing on when I came here.

"By agreements made by myself and your previous leader," I addressed the crowd. "This whole army, this whole forest, is under my control."

Murmurs arose with the other cats.

"It was agreed that if I won that you all would fight with me against Kiara and her army. However I know for a fact that some of you could never be trusted in battle."

I couldn't help stare at Tigerstar when I said that. He just narrowed his eyes at me.

"So," I continued. "Those of you who wish to find your true hearts, and fight for what you truly believe in, meet me in three days at the lake. And those who don't wish fight stay here. And don't be fools trying to escape and help Kiara. Once I know everyone's there to fight, I'll place a force field on this whole forest so that no one can go in or out. Understood?"

I received a few nods, couple of eye rolls, and just shocked faces. "And also-"

That's when I felt it. The sharp pain in my belly, and then a sudden pressure. My eyes widened at I looked down to my stomach. Oh there was no way I was letting any of these cats know I was going into labor.

"That's all." And I jumped down from the rock and ran to Sol. He smiled at me, proud, but then a worried look came on his face as he saw mine. His eyes immediately went to my stomach. I nodded to him.

"We have to go now," he said.

We began to rush away from the group of cats. My pains were getting stronger. The kits were defiantly coming out now.

Please wait my children. Let me deliver in a place that's safe-far from this dark world.

But as stubborn as their father, the kits pushed hard.

"Sol!" I screeched. I tumbled to the ground in pain.

Sol helped me up. "No Violetmoon, we have to get out of here. I know it hurts, but you're going to have to be strong-"

"Well what's this?"

My heart stopped. I knew that voice. That chilling voice. That voice full of evil. I looked up at Kiara, at the same time clenching my teeth in pain.

Sol spoke for me. "None of your business Kiara."

Kiara placed her hands on her hips. "Oh, I believe it's my business when my most trusted servant is helping my most hated enemy." She smiled. "But none the matter. You've brought her as planned. Now give her to me."

Sol looked at Kiara, and then he turned to me. There was lots of pain in his eyes, and growing pain in my heart. I shook my head. "No . . . Sol please don't . . ." I trailed off as he walked in front of me.

Standing in front of me like he was trying to block my way, he looked to Kiara. "You are my master. I sold my soul to you so I can earn the power I rightfully deserve and to lift this curse from me. Whatever you command, goes."

Kiara smiled. Sol looked back at me. The pains in my stomach were coming closer together, but the pain in my heart was more intense. Tears cluttered in my eyes.

"I'm sorry," he said, looking away from me. He looked at Kiara. "But this is one request I can't grant you."

Kiara's face dropped. She was utterly shocked at what he said. "What . . . did you say?"

Now he was standing protectively in front of me. "I said I can't grant you this wish."

Her face twisted in anger. "How dare you. You will give her to me Sol!"

He shook his head. "Her destiny means more to me than my fear of you."

Kiara clenched her hands into a fist. "You're wrong. You should fear for your life. My wrath is the most painful thing to occur to anyone in a lifetime." Light burned off her hands. She pointed to Sol. A bolt of light shot to him.

Sol held up his tail. A shield formed that caused the bolt to bounce of it and hit a tree instead. He stared at Kiara.

She walked slowly to the side. "You really you can defeat me? You're nothing more than a small, four-legged beast."

"Only on the inside."

Sol jumped up. Pieces of the ground jumped up with him. They swirled in the air, and with a kick of his legs, Sol shot them to Kiara in a quick flash. Kiara tried to duck, but she was too slow. The earths hit her, knocking her into a tree with full force. The tree cracked in half as she collided with it. As she lied on the ground, Sol ran to me. At the same time I let out another wail of pain.

"Sol hurry!"

He swished his paw in the air. A small black portal appeared.

"Get in before the portal-" Sol suddenly let out a piercing and terrifying yowl of pain. From behind him, Kiara was on all fours, her left arm extended out as if she had just thrown something.

Sol collapsed to the ground in pain. That's when I noticed the blood all over his fur. Sticking out of his side was a shinning silver blade, half stained in blood.

"No!"

I reached down to try take it out, but suddenly . . . . it happened. The force that I was being controlled came back. My head went away from Sol body.

From far, Kiara was kneeling with both her hands out, like she was controlling something. Something like me.

She laughed. "How does it feel to watch those you love be in pain, Violetmoon?"

I let out a cry, both from labor pain and anger.

Kiara looked at my belly. "Those creatures you carry . . ." She shook her head. "They're better off dead. Their father's a cat and their mother's a human pretending to be a cat. They'll never survive in my world." She smiled. "After I kill you both tonight, I'll have nothing to worry about."

That brought rage through my entire body. I forced my head down. It felt like I was trying bend my head down at someone was choking me, but I didn't care. Sol had saved my life, time to save his.

Gripping the blade with my teeth, I took it out of Sol's side. Blood gushed from the wound. From behind me, I could hear the portal closing.

Fighting the hard labor pains, I grabbed Sol but the scruff and began to drag him to the portal. I could feel Kiara trying to control me again, but I fought it with whatever strength I had left.

The portal was slowly shrinking. I was only a foot away. But Kiara got up and limped towards us.

With all the strength I had left, I threw Sol into the portal. Then I myself jumped in, narrowly escaping Kiara's hand.

The green trees of the forest were a blur at first, but as I focused my eyes more they became more visual. We made it back home.

I was lying on the ground, pain gripping my whole body (from the kits). I could feel the first one coming. A loud scream escaped me.

A paw was on my shoulder. Looking up, I saw Sol's yellow eyes looking down at me.

"It's time to push Violetmoon."

I gasped. "Sol, I'm not ready!"

He laughed. "You've fought monsters, evil spirits, and Kiara. You're beyond ready."

"Sol . . ."

He shushed me. "There's no time to talk. We got to get those kits out now!"

That's when I noticed that river of blood dripping from his wound on the side. He saw me looking at it, and shook his head. "Don't worry about it, it's not too deep."

The first kit was coming. I could feel it. It was time to push. I pushed so hard I felt like my head might blow off. I pushed, and pushed, and pushed.

Then I heard it. The wailing of a kit. My kit. I looked down. A tiny cream-colored kit with a few brown specks laid at my paws.

Sol smiled at me. "She-cat."

I smiled at my daughter. I hurried to bring her other siblings. There were two left. I could feel them. With a mighty push, I brought the second one out. A white-and-black she-cat. She blinked open her eyes at me. Emerald green eyes. Just like her father.

Finally, I struggled to bring the final kit to the world. This one was a fighter. He wouldn't come out. As I pushed, Sol suddenly dropped to the ground.

"Sol!"

He dragged himself so that his face could be near mine. His wound was gushing out blood now.

I shook my head. "No! You said the wound wasn't that bad."

He winced in pain. "You had to deliver your kits."

"But how am I-"

"You've come all this way without me, you can keep on going."

I shook my head. "I've lost Mother Gana, my parents, Alena. I won't lose you too!"

"You have to," he breathed. A long breath escaped him. He was going. "Deliver your kits . . . Violetmoon."

Now I felt the third kit trying to push out. It was waiting for me to help. I looked down at Sol. Leaning to him, I licked his cheek. "Thank you," I whispered to him.

With a big push, I pushed a small dark brown tom-like myself-into the world. He wailed as he battered his tiny paws in the air.

At the very moment he was out, Sol took a huge breath. He blinked his yellow eyes. Then slowly his eyelids closed. His body relaxed, all his muscles calming down. Small particles of white dust flew from his fur and into the air. And then nothing.

Tears came from my eyes. Sol was dead.

Cuddling my kits up to me, I let them suckle for their milk. They were so beautiful. I was thinking what to name them. The cream-colored one began to blink open her eyes. My heart sung when I saw her eyes were a gentle lavender color. She was beautiful, my firstborn. My second born was more of Blackstar. She had his fur and eyes. Thank heavens she didn't have his jet-black paws or else everyone would know she was his. And finally there was my son. His eyes were struggling to open. I waited patiently. He blinked them open. My heart stopped as he looked up at me with wide yellow eyes. Not just any yellow eyes: Sol's yellow eyes. There was no possible way this was his son, yet there his eyes were. How could he . . . .

Suddenly I remembered something. It was something Mother Gana had said to me when I had found out that I was a half-Spirit.

Half-Spirits. Only their bodies age and die. Their souls didn't. They were reincarnated into the form of child that was born as they died.

I looked down at my son, and stared at me. I smiled down at him, tears of joy streaking down my cheeks. "Hi Sol." He was still alive . . . through my son.

Time hadn't passed here in the mortal world. I sent a mental message to Jayfeather, telling him to meet me in the forest. He found me within ten minutes. A smiled slapped on his face as his smiled the scent of my milk and newborn kits. He sniffed all three of them.

"Welcome to ThunderClan little ones." He looked sightlessly at me. "What are you gonna name them?"

I placed the tip of my tail on the first one's head. "This creamed-colored she-cat is going to Lavenderkit." I moved to the second one. "This is Emeraldkit."

Finally I placed the tip of my tail on my son's head. "And this . . ." I couldn't help but smile.

"This is Solkit."
