Pacing the rotting floor, Fritillarystar chewed her lip nervously. She was waiting for nightfall, the spirits told her to and left it at that. They told her to go to a dead oak and wait there for them. It was currently nearing dusk, the sky turning orange, then purple and finally a dark blue. It was a beautiful sight! Fritillarystar padded out of the ruined house at the sight of the first few twinkling stars. The moor stretched and rolled for miles in each direction, their lumpy crests fringed with tall grass and nodding heather. She smiled wanly, the breeze whistling all around her. Fritillarystar had not a clue how to lead a clan and she hoped for some answers. ''Are you alright, Fritillary?'' came a quiet voice, just as the owner appeared at her side. Her kittens huddling close to her stocky frame, their eyes staring nervously at the nervous leader. The tortoiseshell stared for a few moments at the black cat, remembering the terrifying moments when Nightclaw had come crashing into her small shelter. Her kittens had been terrifyingly stick-thin and all Nightclaw could say was that of a rebellion. She'd later found out that a small uprising had occured in her old clan and she'd barely escaped with her two kittens and her life. ''Why aren't you and your kittens asleep?'' She replied, not answering her question. ''I don't need sleep!'' squeaked Ternkit, smiling broadly. ''I'm Ternstar, I don't take any orders from anyone!''. Fritillarystar frowned slightly, not liking his willfulness. Nevertheless, she merely ignored his kitten-jabbering and got to her paws. ''Just go to bed please.'' Fritillarystar ordered, her words quite final. ''I have to go soon, but don't wait up for me please.''. ''I wasn't going to.'' yawned Smallkit, almost nodding off from tiredness. Fritillarystar watched as Nightclaw ushered the two into the house, smiling at the black queen.
The grass felt soft and cold underpaw, the heather that fringed the hilltops heavy with nightfrost. Overhead the moon was cradled in the ragged clouds, a giant ghostly eye that painted the moors silver. Fritillarystar could barely see the towering oak, it's branches like claws reaching for the stars. A symbol of how the dark ones always yearned to embrace the light, Fritillarystar thought as she clambered up to it's very topmost branches. The last time she'd been here was to get her lives, Fritillarystar could still remember them; Patience from Rippedear, Empathy from Mudpaw, Observance from Greynose, Resilience from Loonheart, Faith from Pebbleclaw, Understanding from Russetleaf, Clarity from Rookpaw, Love from Badgertail and Addercloud (they'd insisted on giving a life together!) and last but not least, Justice from Sagestar.
Disappointed when a large battled-scarred brute appeared instead of the wise and calm leader, Fritillarystar inclined her head wordlessly. ''Have you made your choice?'' he rumbled, staring down at the tense tortoiseshell. Fritillarystar nodded, she'd been mulling over the new cat for so long. A memory of Nightclaw and her kittens all stick thin and scared, crept into her mind, chilling her to the core. ''I ask for a cat who'll guide me through and through, a cat to look after Nightclaw whenever I'm away.'' She murmured. ''A medicine cat.'' Rippedear nodded wordlessly and turned silently away from her. He had not said anything in reply but Fritillarystar could not help but feel insulted by his coldness.
Back at home, Nightclaw and her kittens were curled up in deep sleep. It was a sweet sight, a family all curled and cosy in the rotting straw. All that was missing was the father! ''Sweet dreams Nightclaw.'' mewed Fritillarystar. ''And starclan bless you Ternkit and Smallkit.'' Her eyes shone dimly in the darkness, lit up by a deep sadness and a great yearning. A yearning for what? Fritillary thought as she began her silent vigil throughout the dark night. What did she feel that she was missing?
