Last time on Starkit's Prophecy:
"Hello, Starpaw." Blackstar hissed menacingly at her. "You made me look bad in front of my Clan. The ShadowClan leader, beaten by a puny apprentice who hadn't even had a training session yet. Pathetic."
Starpaw backed up towards what she thought was the ThunderClan border. Nobody knew where she was, and if she…died, no one ever would.
"Well, I'll show you pathetic!" Blackstar lunged for her throat.
Starpaw dodged to the right and hit Blackstar in the ribs with her front paws, claws unsheathed, just as she learned the day before with her mentor. He fell to the ground, dazed. Suddenly, a streak of silver flashed out from behind a tree, clawing Blackstar's tail, making him yowl and run back to the ShadowClan camp.
"Jayfeather!?" Why are you in ShadowClan territory?" Starpaw exclaimed.
"I was looking for catnip near the border and heard yowling. Are you alright?" Jayfeather asked.
Starpaw looked at him hopelessly. "Jayfeather, what am I supposed to do? I have to deal with the prophecy, Graystripe's problems, and now Blackstar has another reason to kill me! Please, help!"
"I know how you feel." Jayfeather said. "I was part of a prophecy, too, remember? You just have to follow your heart and trust yourself to know what is right."
"But I still don't know what to do! And how do I pick between helping Graystripe and obeying Bramblestar?"
"Let's go back to ThunderClan, and I'll tell you a story." he said.
Once they were safely across the border, Jayfeather sat, and beckoned Starpaw to sit also.
"I once had to choose between two things."
"What were they?" Starpaw said, sniffing.
"A cat named Half Moon and my medicine cat duties." The blind cat said.
"What? You… liked another cat? What did you do?"
"Well, it was a cat in the past. In my dreams, I wasn't blind, but I was another cat named Jay's Wing who was in love with a cat named Half Moon. I eventually decided that I was being disloyal, even though it was my own dream." Jayfeather looked away from Starpaw with a sad expression.
"So you chose to follow your heart, and that path was loyalty?" Starpaw asked.
"You should always do what you think is best for you and your clan." Jayfeather said.
Hmm…, thought Starpaw. She then raced off to camp to talk to Bramblestar.
