The Frostbitten Curse

by Scarlet Blue Frost

When Frostkit was born, she was born with a curse. The curse might have been a gift, but no one see's it that way. She has the power to save lives, and end them. Everything seems to be falling around her. Her best friend dies, (or does he?). She goes through a journey of hatred and love, just to find out, she might have to save them all.

20. The Dark Forest

"You won't see us coming!"

"When you hear us, it'll be too late. You'll all be dying!"

"Remember me? The one you killed, what about everyone else you killed. We are all against you!"

"No!" Frostbite cried.

She ran blindly through the unknown woods. It was dark here, but not too dark. Then, she fell into a river, she started panicking, she didn't know why, she knew how to swim. She remembered the dreams and warnings she would get.

That's why. I shouldn't be afraid, but I am. I will now die in a river, in the middle of these unknown woods.

Then, someone grabs her scruff. An evil purr rumbles in his throat.

"Did you think you could get away that quickly, kitty." It was Emberstream.

"Why does everyone call me that?" She screeched.

She flipped around, making it so that the skin on her scruff, tears away. She swerved around to face him. She sees Emberstream.

"Blossomstar's gone, you don't have to do this anymore."

"Oh, but I do. This promise wasn't only to my leader."

"What do you mean?"

"I promised Mudclaw. It's that or he would have killed Amberpaw."

"Mudclaw is dead now! You really do hate me, don't you?"

"You really don't get it, do you?"

"Get what?"

"Wake up!"

Frostbite woke up and found herself in a clearing, alone. No cat bodies, no Skycloud, no Fallenstar, no angry cat mobs, and nobody trying to kill her. She recognized this place, she was here, only once before. When Leafwhisper was kitting, she had to find Ambersight. She found her, dead.

Wait, nobody moved her body. Am I still dreaming?

Then the evil, harsh meow sounded behind her.

"That's not waking up. Frostbite, you aren't safe here. You will die here, if you don't leave."

"What do you mean?"

"I can't tell."

"Why am I at the place Ambersight died?"

"To show you."

"Show me what?"

"What will become of the clans." Emberstream padded to the edge of the clearing.

Frostbite tentatively followed him. Battling cats everywhere. From all the clans, dead bodies lay and injured cats limped to the edge, and through the bushes sat medicine cats waiting with bundles of herbs. Frostbite looked at Emberstream, horrified.

"What led to this?"

"The Place of No Stars."

Then he vanished, so did the battling cats. She was left alone, in that spooky clearing.

Then, a sharp pain pierced in her back. She woke up for real this time,
