Maplestar
Maplestar wheezed as she stumbled across the CliffClan territory. She needed to find Flamestar, needed to find her before they were left for too long. The kits. Her kits.
She was dying. She could feel it and now she knew, oh yes she knew StarClan was real. They were pulling at her fur, whispering in her ears. She could see their outlines against the frosty landscape. They were coming for her. No, couldn't go yet, had to tell Flamestar. She did not want her kits to join her that day.
At the border Maplestar collapsed under another weak coughing fit. She looked across the plain of mud but the StarClan cats clouded her vision. "Flamestar," she croaked. "Flamestar, you must find them." She wasn't sure if Flamestar could even hear her but she hoped the she-cat would at least smell the kits scent on her fur. Panting, Maplestar murmured "Rowanstar, ask him to help and he will...in the cave, they are in the cave." Maplestar stopped fighting then as the swarm of StarClan cats dragged her further away into the stars. Her breaths were shallow and raspy but they still came faintly. She could not allow herself to let everything go until she knew they would be safe.

Flamestar ran forward as son as she saw the other cats, enough time to hear what she had said with her acute senses. She landed from her sprint next to the dying cat, and meowed, "Maplestar, who? Who is in the cave?" She would want to know a final piece of information, before she went. As it was, she had to give the older cat peace of mind. It was obvious she was dying.
"Of course... Of course, I'll get them, Maplestar. I'll get Rowanstar to help. We'll make sure they're safe." Flamestar meowed. She wasn't sure exactly what, but, she would, carry out the other leader's dying wish. She sprinted off, without waiting for the answer of who she was going to find in the cave. She flew into CliffClan territory, leaving behind the dying cat. It was now the only thought in her mind. She would carry out what Maplestar had told her to do. She somehow knew she had to.
OOC: Where exactly should I post? Go post in the kits thread? |

Maplestar
Maplestar breathed out her last shallow breath. She looked up. Cats she hadn't seen in moons were there with her. The ones who had died of sickness now had gleaming glossy pelts and not a sign of the marks on them.
A purr filled her throat. Her kits were not amongst the ones to greet her. They were alive. They would survive.
Thus ends the life of a warrior, a leader, and a mother.
However, in StarClan, she lives on.
