"Bramblestar! we need to ask you for something...and we know its very big, but please listen. this is important, and we need to do this." Redpaw gulped.
Standing in front of the leader of the clan wasn't as easy as you would think. It was enough to make you re-think whatever you were going to say. or at least in this situation. Please let him say yes...we need to go to Twoleg Place and see if Lightheart really are alive! Redpaw turned to Nightpaw.
"Well? Spit it out!" Bramblestar sighed.
"We need to go to Twoleg Place." Nightpaw firmly said.
"You want to be kitty pets again?!" Bramblestar gasped.
"No no!" Redpaw interrupted, "We love living in the clans. But there's something we have to do in Twoleg place that can only be done by us! Please!"
"What do you have to do?" Bramblestar looked at Redpaw, but she only kept silent and turned to Nightpaw.
"We...we heard that something happened to our father and mother. That they could be...dead. Please, if they are dead, can we at least sit vigil for them? Please! Even if they weren't good parents..." Nightpaw faked a few tears coming from his eyes.
"Fine. But please return before next moon. I'll have Jayfeather and Da-No, um...Jayfeather get you some traveling herbs." Bramblestar looked down sadly, "Sorry, im used to Darkpaw being here...go on ahead."
"Yeah, we miss Darkpaw, too..." Redpaw said and quickly walked away with Nightpaw.
The two cats went to get the herbs but were stopped by the quiet but hear able whispering from inside the den. Nightpaw showed the 'Why not?' look and they hid just behind the corner. Standing behind a few leaves they listened.
"Jayfeather, what are you saying!? How could you! They were my kits!" Redpaw recognized it to be Dovewing's voice.
"I'm not saying that they should of died! I'm saying that maybe this means that we don't have to worry anymore! Sure, they cant really save the clans, but they cant destroy them, either!" Jayfeather hissed.
"After everything! The prophecy we went through, I thought It was all over! My kits had to suffer because we also had a prophecy, and its not fair! Screw StarClan!" Dovewing whisper-yelled.
There was a cold silence. Dovewing quickly ran out of the medicine den with a look of shame and anger. But it did get Redpaw thinking. Isn't she right, though? If it wasn't for StarClan and their prophecy's...Darkpaw wouldn't of died...and if she isn't alive, Lightheart too..Is'nt this kind of StarClans fault if you really look at it?
"Lets just go without the herbs. I'm sure we'll be fine." Nightpaw walked off and Redpaw awkwardly followed along.
As they were walking to Twoleg Place, there was another wall placed that they noticed hadn't been there before. "Twolegs must of placed it..." Nightpaw muttered under his breath.
"Now that i'm thinking..." Redpaw looked down, "Isn't this kind of stupid? We saw Lightheart dead on the ground...and it sounds impossible. Aren't we just trying to put off her eat-"
"Shut up! Lets just go, okay? Its worth checking out." Nightpaw snapped.
Redpaw was shocked by his sudden yelling, and scared, too. "Why don't we look for separate ways across?" Nightpaw just nodded and went the other way.
'This really does seem like StarClans fault, though...you know what? StarClan took away Darkpaw! Srew StarCl-'
Don't loose faith
"Who was that?" Redpaw looked around. There was a cat standing in the shadows, halfway behind a tree.
Run.
"What?"
Run from the darkness of the night. Don't get dragged into the darkness.
The cat was gone. Redpaw double checked where the cat was standing, but it was gone. "W-what was that?" Redpaw stuttered, then realized, "S-StarClan?"
...
Darkpaw
...
"See? I can stand! I am perfectly fine, okay? I am a medicine cat after a-OW!" Darkpaw fell to the ground in the sudden pain on her head.
"No, your not. It's nice to think of your friends, but you come first in this situation. Plus, even as a blind at, you should of been able to dodge that. That only proves your not even close to getting better." Fallen Leaves complained.
"Ughhh..." Darkpaw moaned.
"i'll get some water for you. Don't worry though, Its full moon tonight. That means only another moon left." Fallen Leaves sighed.
"What?! The clans could all be dead for what I know! One more moon could be the death of my clan, all while I was sitting on my butt letting another cat get food for me!" Darkpaw yowled.
"Oh, then I know. You can help me get water. So while the clans are getting 'destroyed', at least you wont be sitting on your butt." Fallen Leaves says.
"What? I-Wait. Full moon tonight? Really?" Darkpaw stopped.
"Yeah, why?"
"That's when all the medicine cats are at the moon pool! Maybe I talk with StarClan!" Darkpaw begins to bubble with excitement. "Lets go!"
"Eh?"
Darkpaw was already ahead, feeling the air to find where the water was. Though out of memory she knew where it was. After limping her way there, she felt the cool water at her paws. "Please StarClan, I need to know what to do."
Darkpaw touched her nose to the pool of water, and let herself fall into a sleep.
...
...
Blinking her eyes open, Darkpaw saw a forest full of trees...and blood. Lots of it. Lifting her paws from the blood she backed away, only to bump in to what seemed like a cat. Ghost like cats filled the forest with sad looks on their faces.
"Please. Save us!"
"Dont let the forest run red!"
"Stop the darkness!"
"Dont let night take over!"
"Be the light."
Darkpaw was taken back by all of them. "I can't be the light! I'm the darkness! How can I be the light? I'm not doing anything but sitting here and waiting! I'm not the light! That was my sister until...Nameless took her away! The light is gone..im only the dark!"
"No, Darkpaw. I'll always be with you." Lightheart appeared.
Just by her looks and smell, Darkpaw could tell she was the real one.
Tears burst out of Darkpaw. "Lightheart! Y-your here! Lightheart, I'm so sor-"
"Darkpaw, you are not the darkness. You can be the light too, you know. I'll always be with you to guide you, so don't worry I know you can be really dense sometimes. Thats why I'm here, okay?" Lightheart chuckled and smiled. "Be the light, Darkpaw. You may not think it, but you can be the light that guides the darkness."
Along with everyone else that was there, Lightheart started to disappear. "No! Lightheart don't go! Please!" Darkpaw cried.
Lightheart's words whispered through the air as she was gone.
"Be the light that guides the darkness."
