Dreamstar-Continued-Part Three

Dreamstar woke to the sounds of frantic gasps. Her eyes flew open. She tried to look around the six warriors. She saw Reedstar coughing and  trying to get air. Dreamstar pushed past the warriors. They protested but stayed where they were. Dreamstar walked over to Reedstar and lied down beside him and whispered.

"Reedstar. You have been a very brave, and caring leader. You have been leading for a long time. You are on your final life. Your final life is the life that you should enjoy every moment of life, lead your clan for the last time, win battles, and help others. You have done that. You will be welcomed into StarClan. They shall honor your genorosity, and love. Cats for many seasons shall remember what you have done for this clan. Everything. Even the bad times. But the bad times will seem life nothing compared to the good times. You have served this clan. You promised that you would serve this clan, until your last breath. That is what you have done. Let StarClan come and welcome you."

When Dreamstar was finished Reedstar was already gone. Then she heard a whisper in her ear.

"Thank-you Dreamstar. Let StarClan watch over you. For you are a leader of the stars."

Dreamstar bowed her head, as she listened to Reedstar. Then she threw back her head. Accepting every blow that the invisible threat had to offer. None came except a faint hiss, and the prophecy.

"You are being killed by the moment."

Dreamstar smiled. Then walked out of the den. She squinted as the sun broke thrpugh the clouds. She turned around to see warriors following her, holding Reedstar. They set Reedstar in the middle of camp. A she-cat yowled. Dreamstar looked at the she-cat, who must have been Reedstar's mate. The she-cat was followed by two kits, ready to be apprentices. One of the kits looked at Dreamstar, then quickly looked away. She tilted her head. Wondering what was wrong with the kit.

Then she felt it. She gasped as long, curved claws raked down her back. She heard a voice as she felt it.

"You're going to DIE Dreamstar!"

Dreamstar gasped again as she recongized the faint voice. It was Hawkclaw. he had killed Hawkclaw, because he had killed Cloudriver, her first mate. Hawkclaw was a traitor. So he was the one dong this to her. Dreamstar smiled as she remembered his weakness. Forestsky and Soaringheart. Forestsky was Hawkclaw's sister. She had died before her son, Soaringheart, was made a warrior. Hawkclaw had changed when that had happened. He was mean to all cats, except for Soaringheart. She would use this against him.

She looked at the entrance of the camp as Rippleblaze came walking in. he had started to go to the MoonCave, then turned back. Then he went hunting. Now he would be a leader. Dreamstar sighed.

Rippleblaze looked at the cats in the clearing, then at Reedstar. His eyes filled with sorrow. Reedstar was his mentor and leader. Rippleblaze walked over to Reedstar, and put his nose to Reedstar's pelt. Then he looked around, and quickly jumped onto to the leaning branches of a sycamore.

"Reedstar has left us today! That means I am now leader! Tonight I will go and receive my nine lives! But first, I want to appoint a new deputy, just i case.

There are a lot of loyal cats standing in front of me! But only one shall be deputy! Dovefall. You have been a loyal warrior for many moons.You shall be the new deputy of MarshClan!"

Dreamstar watched as cats started to chant Dovesoar's name. Dreamstar bowed her head. Upset. Upset because now the truth can not be told....
