Goldheart's Fate

Chapter 18

Silverstone's POV

I watch Oakleaf return from the bushes looking pleased with himself.

"Oakleaf? What's going on?" I ask curiously.

"Oh.. Nothing. Just something I had to take care of." He meows back

"Who were you talking to?"

"No one important "

"Was is Goldheart? Is that why you won't tell me?" I reply, my fur standing on end.

"It wasn't Goldheart! It was Bronzetail! He asked for help, but I sent him away." Oakleaf replies with a flick of his tail.

"You what? What if he's in trouble! We have to go help him!"

"We don't."

"Fine. If you won't come with me, then I will go."

"You're making a mistake!" He meows

"No, you are! If you truly cared enough about me, you'll come with me!"

"Silverstone! Don't be so stupid-"

"Stupid? You are the one that's stupid!"

"Me? You're the one always talking about Goldheart. I thought you hated him! He tried to kill Jaywing! And you are over here whining like a useless kit!" He begins to growl.

"Oakleaf, you don't want to make me mad. Or else." I meow, forcing my fur to stay flat.

"Or else what? You'll call your dead little friend to save you? Ha! As if!"

"That's it!" I growl.

A rush of anger floods towards me, and I feel my eyes burning with rage. I stare into Oakleaf's eyes.. Ready to attack him.

But instead, Oakleaf begins to form... Into stone.

I've turned him into stone! I don't know whether to be scared or pleased..

Cats all around me begin to stare.

"Oh my Starclan! Did she just.."

"She did!!"

Cats begin to whisper.

"Silverstone.." Whispers my father.

"You.. You.. Turned Oakleaf into stone! But how..?"

"Jaywing, this is my power. I was given it by starclan." I meow

"But I've never seen a cat with such power!" He meows back

"You're right, Jaywing! She's a monster. She must be thrown out of the clan!" Some cat meows.

"No! She can learn to control it!" Jaywing says.

"But what if she doesn't?"

"She will! Who is this cat speaking? Come out now!"

Out of the shadows comes a dusky brown, she cat.

"Hello, Jaywing. How nice it is to see you again!"

"Y-you! You're dead! Go back to the Dark Forest where you belong! What are you doing here anyways?" He meows.

"I came to kill you. For what you've done."

"You deserved it!"

"Jaywing? Who is this cat?" I meow.

"Duskflower." He growls.

"Wait.. Duskflower is here? That means .. What have you done with Goldheart!" I hiss at her.

"Goldheart? Oh he is fine. Probably suffering.. Because I sent Frostshine to distract him. While I kill Jaywing."

"And then you."
