Without a Trace

Chapter 9

The sludge covered Lightkit. She tried to get out of it, but the longer she struggled, the deeper she went. She eventually gave up.
A flame colored tom stood in front of her.
"Greetings, Lightkit." the tom said.
"H-how do you know my name?" she asked.
"I am from StarClan, so I know everyone's name." the tom said. "My name is Firestar."
"What are you doing here?" Lightkit asked.
"I can help you out, but you must be aware, the heart will strike and the shadow will protect." Firestar said. "Now, lets get you out of here."
"Please. I want to see Shadow again." Lightkit said.
Firestar grabs Lightkit by the scruff and helps her out if the sludge.

Lightkit's head emerges from the sludge.
"Lightkit!" Shadow shouts.
"S-shadow?" Lightkit asks.
"Lightkit! Grab onto this!" Shadow said throwing a branch out to her so he can pull her in.
The heart will strike and the shadow will protect. Lightkit thought to herself grabbing onto the branch.
"I was so worried about you!" Shadow said.
"I was worried too. I didn't want to leave you! But thanks to StarClan, I was able to resurface. Firestar helped me." Lightkit said.
"Whatever, let's keep moving! I can see the Clan from here, and they are impatiently waiting for us." Redheart said.
"Yeah, lets keep moving! I can't wait to see the Clan again!" Lightkit said jumping.
"Lets move then! I can't wait to see the Clan either! Maybe I can see my father!" Shadow said smiling.
