Starshine
Moonlight washed over the hillside, casting a heavy, dark, mysterious shadow. The thorn bushes surrounded a hollow with rocky sides that sloped down steeply to a small pool of water, in the shape of a half-moon. Halfway up the side of the hill a trickle of water drops fell in between to moss layered, stones. The branches rustled as the bushes parted and cats emerged at the top of the hollow and began to pick their way down to the water’s edge. Their pelts shone as scintillating stars in the moonlight sky. “This is the place where the cats shall remain.” whispered a cat laying at the water’s edge. The others just sat and waited for the leaders. Moonstar walked down a pale white path coming from Starclan. “Greetings all. I would think all clans are doing well?” she asked calmly. Blackflare approached her and nudged her muzzle in sign of a greeting. “ We have been called upon under what circumstances, may I ask?” Eaglewing asked questioningly. “As you know of, the clans have just settled here and we are afraid of peril that lurks around every corner.” a tortoiseshell- she-cat looming over the misty water. “Yes and that danger is the hunting of immeasurable tigers, stalking small innocent prey. In other words, cats.” Losteyes spoke solemnly. All the cats that surrounded the leaders just stared in awe. “Where will we move to?” a golden Tom asked curiously. “We don’t know at the moment but, wherever it is we will need to stay together. If any of us leave more will go.” Moonstar replied with a sigh of exhaustion. The cats took that as a sign to retire for the night. Moonstar walked into a deep hollow burrow and signaled for the other leaders to follow. So, Cottonstar, Cemetarystar, Thornstar, Auburnstar, and Polarstar all followed Moonstar in to the cark cave like burrow. It was wide enough at the bottom for all of the leaders to talk in peace and without the distraction of the other cats. Cemetarystar and Auburnstar laid down over by a vent to the way up while, Thornstar and Polarstar laid on the other side. Moonstar laid in the back, she crossed her forepaws and her tail just slashed back in forth irritated. Her luminous green eyes shined from the light of the moon. Her wings had just spread pout and relaxed. They had rips and tears inside of them. Her huge paws just crumbled the gold and brown leaves. Cemetarystar’s eyes shown a pain of weakness against Moonstar. “So, what is to become of these tigers?” Moonstar asked the other leaders opinions. “I think we should move to the other side of the mountains.” Polarstar stated. “No! The little ones (kits and apprentices) won’t be able to make that long and steep trip.” Auburnstar gave Polarstar a cold stare. “Yes but, what else is their to do?” Cemetarystar asked Polorstar and Auburnstar. “We could just fight off the other tigers, right?” Thornstar spoke finally. “Well, you are a tiger Moonstar so, you know all the weakness’ and strengths’ s of a tiger. So we could fend them off!” Cottonstar spoke for once in a eternity. “Yes we could do that but, what if cats die? I mean I know cats will die but, I guess we can fend them off. The clans have gotten more cats since the last time we all met.” Moonstar said with a hint of hope in her voice.
:DThat was a great story, Bloodbone! I'm also writing a story. Would you like to be in it?
