p id="1208427075394549" class="paragraph"span class="userText"The she-cat ran in the darkest of nights. Her eyes glimmered like ice in the pale moonlight, her fluffy white tail trailing behind her. The cat's body language looked tired as she kept her head down and didn't look around. A few moments later, she came upon the Moonpool and its water. A spirit of a black tom seemed to hover over the surface. It looked as though he had a thick coat of fur. His amber eyes were full of wisdom and knowledge./span/p
p id="2238608195900935" class="paragraph"span class="userText""Are you ready?" The tom whispered./span/p
p id="1829226588728775" class="paragraph"span class="userText""No..." she answered, padding around the pool, eventually sitting down with her nose a whiskers length away from the water's surface. The moon's reflection shone perfectly onto her face, "I don't want to leave him here, he will be so alone..."/span/p
p id="1867414216918095" class="paragraph"span class="userText""Once you are over here, then you may help him," He whispered, his tone flat./span/p
p id="1958559555224884" class="paragraph"span class="userText"Her ears folded back against her head, and she tucked them between her head and her back. "I can't handle this..."/span/p
p id="162663846854252" class="paragraph"span class="userText""You have no choice," He murmured, his tone unapologetic./span/p
p id="2162971336893191" class="paragraph"span class="userText"She curled into a tight ball, resting her head on her forepaws. Her ice-blue gaze peered up at the black tom, sadness clouding her eyes./span/p
p id="84593053674643" class="paragraph"span class="userText""I know," She mewled, her voice breaking, "It's too hard..."/span/p
p id="145716824325332" class="paragraph"span class="userText"Suddenly the toms eyes grew wide and started to proclaim, "Bird and stone must form a bond to create a peace the Clans have never known before."/span/p
p id="1524700574165762" class="paragraph"span class="userText"The she-cat watched in confusion, wondering what it meant. Weren't the Clans always peaceful with one another, except the occasional fights, of course. But recently there haven't been./span/p
p id="2173568330923097" class="paragraph"span class="userText"She let out a breath of air, closing her eyes once more trusting that StarClan would take care of this./span/p
p id="2124835123339038" class="paragraph"span class="userText"With her legs trembling underneath her, she shifted her feet into the cool waters and turned her head towards her clan. The ice-cold liquid seeped through her toes, sending a chill down her spine./span/p
p id="1647444770690424" class="paragraph"span class="userText"Starclan, is it true I shall die and join the stars?/span/p
p id="1395828373804860" class="paragraph"span class="userText"After a few moments, she finally convinced herself to close her eyes. Suddenly, she found herself soaring up into the stars above. Tears forming in her eyes as she thought of the ones she loved most./span/p
p id="1483410086916549" class="paragraph"span class="userText"I don't want to lose them again. I was so happy for the first time in a long time.../span/p
p id="864855207655442" class="paragraph"span class="userText"I never wanted it to end./span/p
p id="1789487521808397" class="paragraph"span class="userText"Now it has, and I will be gone, and never will I see him again./span/p
