Stars Shattered

Chapter 4

WallabyPetal returned from her Hunt, Placing her prey down , and walked over to HollyStalk. " Hey sis..how was hunting earlier " WallabyPetal mewed politely. " Fine " HollyStalk grumbled. " Are you ok...? It's ok to Miss PygmyLeap.." WallabyPetal whispered, and slid her paw next to HollyStalk, who moved hers away " I'm fine! That cat was no kin of mine " HollyStalk growled. " HollyStalk! He was our Brother! " WallabyPetal gasped. " He was a fool! He was more blind than me " HollyStalk growled. " I'm ThunderClan, I have no other kin than you and LeafPool, and as of now, I don't even want you as my kin " HollyStalk growled, and stalked of to Blossom Fall and BumbleStripe. WallabyPetal sighed, and Walked up to the medicine den " LeafPool...? " WallabyPetal poked her head in. " WallabyPetal...come in..." LeafPool mewed. " Are you ok...? Do you wanna go gather herbs together...? " WallabyPetal mewed. " Not now...I don't feel like it " LeafPool mewed, and WallabyPetal saw her laying in her nest, facing the wall. " PygmyLeap would want you to gather herbs..." WallabyPetal whispered. " But I can't...maybe this is why Medicine cats shouldn't have kits. " LeafPool meowed, her body fell up and down as she breathed. " They don't want you to have kits, because they think it will distract you from your duties....but you still cared for every cat like your own kit. PygmyLeap would want you to keep working, because he knew you loved being a medicine cat " WallabyPetal responded, and walked over to grab her mother scruff, and pull her up " Now come on, I saw a nice patch of Dandelions on the patrol " WallabyPetal chuckled. " Ok ok, put me down " LeafPool purred, standing up by herself. " Lead the Way WallabyPetal " LeafPool smiled, and both walked out. WallabyPetal lead her to the patch, and both stoped, staring at the flowers, they where a dark color, and where crumbling when the wind blew on them " What! They where just golden a few moments ago! " WallabyPetal gasped. " How odd, Dandelions never die like this, or this early. " LeafPool mewed. " ew...the ground all crumbly...almost like..." WallabyPetal gasped, remembering the black, crumbling ground in StarClan " We need to cover this area! " WallabyPetal mewed quickly, and ran for a log, and quickly began to push it down." MothFlight! What is this " WallabyPetal whispered, hoping she would hear her. " It's the same crumbly ground you saw in StarClan, we don't have a cure for it...we think it has something to do with DarkForest. Cover the area like you are doing now " MothFlight responded. " Great " WallabyPetal rolled her eyes. " WallabyPetal what's going on? " LeafPool mewed. " It's hard to explain, But the Black ground is the cause of DarkForest " WallabyPetal responded, and began to kick grass over the spot and log. " DarkForest- who is that! " LeafPool responded " The embodiment of evil cats, I'll explain later! Just help me cover this! " WallabyPetal meowed, and LeafPool Ran up, throwing leaves on the black. Stepping back, both she's panted, and looked at eachother " Let's go to the medicine den...I have a lot to explain "
