Starlight instantly recognized her surroundings. She was lying in the ThunderClan camp clearing, facing the nursery. She shook her fur a little and stood up. The cats in the clearing gasped, and Starlight realized why she had been laying in the center of camp. Starlight turned around, and she saw the body lying on the ground next to her. The silver tabby body, who must have just died, because his sightless blue eyes were still open.
"No." Starlight said in horror. "Oh no, no, no." The body on the ground was Jayfeather, the silver cat she had seen in StarClan right before she left. The Clan seemed just as surprised about him being dead as her being alive. Starlight also realized that Jayfeather was the cat who gave his life for her. Even though she had barely ever talked to the moody tom, she felt horrible that he had died for her, of all cats.
"Starlight?" Redwing asked, echoed by Jadefall and Flameclaw. The whole Clan started to whisper and mumble to each other.
"How is she back?" whispered Moonpaw.
"What happened to Jayfeather?" Adderpaw countered.
"Why did she come back when Jayfeather died?" asked Wolfpaw.
Bramblestar approached through the Clan, and everyone fell silent. He dipped his head to her.
"Starlight." He looked at her, puzzled but awestruck. "It seems that Jayfeather gave his life for you, just as Lakepool did for Redwing. I don't know how this works, but it is obviously a miracle from StarClan. We will mourn for Jayfeather, but be happy that you are back."
"Thank you, Bramblestar." said Starlight, "But I have something to discuss with you."
