(Skypaw ^^^^)

The Curse of StarClan

"Skypaw! Look out!"

Skypaw saw a second too late the fox heading towards her. She yelped, trying to get away.

But the fox was faster. It ran after Skypaw, clamped its jaws around her and started to shake her roughly.

Skypaw heard the growls of Mosspaw, her sister and Brightsun, her mentor as they tried to get the fox to put her down.

It was no use. Skypaw was already feeling lightheaded and dizzy. Everything became blurry...

Finally, the fox decided to put her out of her misery. The fox threw her against a tree, and ran away.

Skypaw's body slid down the tree, exploding with pain. She could faintly hear Mosspaw wailing in grief.

Pain. That was all Skypaw could feel. Pain.

"Stay awake Skypaw! We'll get you Feathertail!" Her sister's panicked voice cut through the pain. "Right Brightsun?! RIGHT?!"

Skypaw was already blacking out, there was no way even Feathertail could save her. StarClan was calling for her...

"Come on Brightsun! We need to get Feathertail!" Mosspaw's voice was hysterical now, pulling on the tail of the warrior.

"Not even Feathertail can fix her, Mosspaw... nothing can. Skypaw's... going... to StarClan..." Skypaw could barely hear Brightsun...

"BUT WE HAVE TO TRY BRIGHTSUN!" Mosspaw was half yelling, half sobbing.

"I'm sorry Mosspaw."

-------------

She couldn't describe this feeling. It was as if she was air. She couldn't feel anything.

It was like all her emotions were sucked out of her, leaving an empty husk of a cat. She didn't like this feeling. What is it?

She looked down. There were two cats, one smaller one and one larger one. The smaller cat, a black furred she with white spots, had thrown herself on the ground and was sobbing. The larger one, a golden tabby, was just standing there, as if she was in shock, tears rolling down her face too.

Why were they crying?

She spotted a third figure, a white she with black spots, thrown against a tree in front of the two, its body mangled and bloody.

The cats were familar...

She inspected the third cat again. She knew this one best.

Was that... her?

The golden tabby finally spoke. "Skypaw's in StarClan now, Mosspaw. I'm so sorry..."

Skypaw... maybe that was her name. And this Mosspaw... was the smaller shecat... right?

Suddenly, she remembered everything.

Herself as a kit, with two other siblings; becoming an apprentice; going to her first gathering; training with her mentor; talking with her sister; going on a patrol with Brightsun, Mosspaw, Marshleaf and Talonwing.

She remembered her clanmates,

Graystar, her leader.

Russetpelt, her deputy.

Feathertail, her medicine cat.

Brightsun, her mentor.

Mosspaw, her sister.

Rockpaw, her brother.

Mapleleaf, her mother.

And her name, was Skypaw.
