Spottedleaf sat there in awe. He... He said he loved me!
"Firestar..." Spottedleaf started; Firestar thought she didn't feel the same way, and instantly regretted it. "Firestar, I love you too!" Spottedleaf walked up to the muscular tom and gave his ear a lick.
Firestar hadn't been this happy since... well he couldn't remember! "Spottedleaf, I know we are forbidden to be mates, but-" Spottedleaf cut him off, "I am going to consult StarClan tonight. Let's go back to camp."
The cool night enclosed the camp. Firestar padded out of his den and to the medicine den. He walked into the den, careful not to disturb Cinderpelt's sleep. "You should go now," Firestar mumbled to the medicine cat whose sorting the herbs. She gave him a look, telling him that she was worried, but she also knew that everything would be okay. She rubbed her head on his shoulder, and padded out of the den. She looked around the peaceful camp, and was walking towards the exit. Ivypool was on guard with Blossomfall, who simply nodded to the medicine cat.
Don't worry, everything will work out. StarClan ought to understand. They know everything... It's going to be okay.
Spottedleaf soon arrived at the moonpool, and lapped at the water. She barely had time to lay down before darkness enveloped her.
She awoke in a blossoming field. She forgot how beautiful and peaceful it was here. She sat up and trotted through the field,"Bluestar? Featherwhisker? Hello?"
"Greetings, Spottedleaf. It's nice to see you again," meowed an unmistakable voice.
Spottedleaf jumped around, "Swiftbreeze! Oh, mother! I missed you so much!" She ran up to her mother, licking her ear.
Swiftbreeze let out a purr, "I missed you too, my kit. And I know you wanted to talk, so I'm here," she said sitting down.
"Right, right. Yes, I do badly. Swiftbreeze..." Spottedleaf sighed, "I can't control what I feel inside. I love Firestar. Can't I be with him?" Spottedleaf waited for her mother's words of wisdom, guiding words.
"Dear child, you chose a path," Swiftbreeze started, "But Firestar really does love you, and I know that you do, too. I want you to leave your position as medicine cat. I want you to follow your heart, and take Firestar as a mate, and have kits of your own, Spottedleaf."
Spottedleaf was a little shaken by her mother's advise. How could she leave behind the life of a medicine cat?! It's who she is! "Swiftbreeze-" She was gone.
Spottedleaf woke up assured. I know what I need to do.
