Last Moon
“I’m ready, Morningstar.” Wolfstar said. The two of them were heading out to the Moonpool to strip his remaining lives from his HollowClan. It still seemed surreal that instead of leader of his own Clan, he was now becoming deputy of another. He hadn’t expected such a rebound and was pleased that TwistedClan already trusted him enough to help lead.
The Moonpool was glistening in the moonlight. “It’s beautiful.” He murmured. He followed Morningstar around the edge until they stopped at the dip. They both touched their noses to the surface, and Wolfstar soon spiraled into sleep. A starry tom approached him and introduced himself as Rainstar.
“Are you prepared to give up your leader’s lives and only have one life remaining?” Rainstar asked.
“Yes,” Wolfstar nodded.
“Very well.” Rainstar rested his nose on Wolfstar’s head. A sharp pain rushed through his body, and he rocked back and forth trying to stay on his feet. After an eternity, the pain ceased and Wolfstar, now Wolfclaw, reopened his eyes. “Welcome to TwistedClan, Wolfclaw.”
Wolfclaw blinked open his eyes and found himself still laying by the Moonpool. Morningstar was already sitting and cleaning her claws. Her eyes shone with unshed tears.
“How were your dreams?” Wolfclaw instantly regretted asking that personal of a question, but he was just concerned.
“Very nice actually.” The leader replied. “I got to speak with an old friend.”
Present
Rainsong had sectioned herself off from the Clan. She ate alone. She sat alone. She laid alone. The other cats were starting to become worried, but she didn’t care. She wondered what Patchedmask was doing back in DewClan, but she also knew she would soon have to forget about all that. That was the part of her life in which she should never revisit, however much she wanted.
As she was grabbing a shrew one night, Neritefang beckoned her over to where she was sitting. After debating whether or not to sit with her, Rainsong padded over.
“Stop moping,” The older cat skipped a normal greeting catching Rainsong off guard. “You can’t change anything now, so you better just keep your head up high and run with it.”
Rainsong looked at her paws. “I screwed up.”
“Do you want to know why I left GraveClan?” Neritefang asked. “I was too old for their standards, and it seemed like every other day there would be another cat killed. At first, I beat myself up because of how long it took me to finally stand up and leave, but I can’t change that. I can, however, change how I live now and my future. Understand?”
“I think so.” Rainsong needed more time to take everything in.
“Alright,” Neritefang stood. “Look at the bright side. Whether or not the father is in the picture doesn’t matter. You are going to have your own kits to love and take care of.” She sounded a bit bitter.
“I guess.” Rainsong said.
“Don’t guess, that’s a fact and you can’t change it.” Neritefang left her to think about the conversation.
•••••••••••••••••••••
Sunchaser hated the prying eyes following him around camp. He tried to participate on every patrol and trained with Blossompaw excessively to be out of the Clan’s curiosity. He was honestly dreading Blossompaw’s warrior assessment since that would eliminate an excuse to be out in the forest. However, Blossompaw was very excited for her chance to become a full warrior, so he couldn’t keep putting it off. Ruststripe was tagging along to help assess her.
On a sunny, yet still snowy day, Sunchaser could not put off the warrior assessments anymore and was sent to collect the apprentices. Galapaw waited by the exit. “Good luck, Blossompaw!”
Blossompaw’s fur puffed out a bit more filled with confidence. Ruststripe sent the two apprentices to go hunt, and the warriors trailed behind out of sight.
“So how are you and Rainsong doing?” Ruststripe asked quietly as Nightpaw was trying to blend in to the surroundings. It was difficult for her this time of year since her black and white coat stuck out against the white snow.
Sunchaser watched Blossompaw intently, not knowing how to answer that question. The last conversation they had ended in a lot of yelling. “A little rocky.” He finally admitted.
“I’m sure you will get past it.” Ruststripe offered. Sunchaser wasn’t so sure.
•••••••••••••••••••••
Starlingpaw picked her way through the snow. She separated from the main group of BearClan cat refuges when they all started to split in different directions. She didn’t regret leaving, but in the cold winds she did miss Squirrelheart. Now scrambling over a low-hanging twisted tree branch, she spotted a line of paw prints in the snow. They seemed to be also heading in her chosen direction. Should she try to catch up? At the very least, trying to spot the other cats from afar couldn’t hurt, so Starlingpaw picked up her pace. Eventually, she saw a group of three cats in the distance. There seemed to be two fully-grown cats and one young cat about the same age as her. They seemed to be a family. Starlingpaw did not interrupt the trio but still kept pace behind them. It wasn’t until they had stopped to rest that they heard Starlingpaw step on a stray twig and alerted them of her presence. The adult she-cat beckoned her over invitingly. “We won’t bite!” She called. Starlingpaw hesitantly came closer.
“Sorry,” She said. “I don’t where I am headed.”
“Can she come with us?” The young cat asked who Starlingpaw assumed were her parents.
“If she wants.” The adult she-cat said.
“If it’s okay. I’m Starlingpaw.” She introduced herself, still a bit nervous.
“Another Clan cat!” The young cat exclaimed. “I’m Mallardpaw.”
“Nice to meet you, Starlingpaw. I’m Claystream.” The she-cat said.
“Toadsplash.” The tom said.
“Let’s continue on our way.”
“Where are you guys headed?” Starlingpaw asked as the group started to move again.
“Away from GraveClan.” Mallardpaw walked beside the other apprentice. “Anywhere but there.” The two of them jumped when an orange and white cat peaked his head out from a snow-covered bush. The adults turned interestedly towards the stranger.
“Are you guys going to TwistedClan too?” The small cat’s voice was slightly nasally.
“TwistedClan?” Starlingpaw tilted her head.
“Starry cats showed me where I could find a warm home, and I’m on my way.” The cat said. “I’m sure you would be welcome too.”
•••••••••••••••••••••
Ruststripe nuzzled next to Morningstar underneath the winter night. She sighed and leaned into his warm fur. “What’s on your mind?” He murmured. “You’re holding something back.”
“Rainsong.” Morningstar shut her eyes tight. Ruststripe understood immediately and grunted in response. “I could have been there for her more after Stormstrike died. And listened to all of their worries. And not abandoned my Clan for selfish reasons. Then she wouldn’t have felt so alone.”
“You know you still cannot blame yourself for every little thing.” Ruststripe kneaded her back.
“But I could have helped her somehow, but I left her and TwistedClan.” Morningstar sighed once more. “I’m afraid she’ll do something she’ll regret.”
“If she was going to leave, she would have already.” Ruststripe assured her. “Even if Sunchaser and Rainsong never rekindle their friendship, they’ll both find other cats that catch their eye. As long as it’s not you.”
Morningstar groaned. “Don’t be sappy.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
•••••••••••••••••••••
Mallardpaw was exhausted after walking all day and halfway into the night from their old clan left far behind. When their group staggered into the camp the “starry cats” had shown the nasally cat known as Flame, she was content just curling up in a snowdrift for some sleep. She could not do that though, since the tortoiseshell and a gray tabby were on night watch and spotted them. The tortoiseshell that eventually introduced herself as Briarwhisper was the first to reach them. The tabby had slipped away, presumably alerting the rest of the cats.
“We seek shelter.” Claystream said. “Three of us are from GraveClan.”
Briarwhisper’s eyes widened. “GraveClan? Would you happen to know Neritefang?”
“Yes, she fled a few days before we did.” Claystream said.
“Is she here?” Mallardpaw asked excitedly.
“Who’s Neritefang?” Starlingpaw whispered in her ear. Flame also leaned in to listen.
“She was an older warrior in our Clan. She was very outspoken against the discrimination against the older cats, but she told the best stories.” Mallardpaw explained. The group did not get to listen to any of the old warrior’s stories that night, but they did get to curl up in the warm cabin and that was enough.
