Flames lapped up against my side. "HELP!!!" I screamed. My voice drowned out by the roaring of the flames. Just moments before the camp had been lively and cheerful. Now it was all in flames. I knew I wasn't going to get any help now. Blackness blotted my vision and I was pulled into the blackness.
I opened my eyes and a huge golden star speckled cat was standing before me. "A-Am I dead?" I ask her
"That's not my question to answer."
"Who are you? Is this StarClan?"
"Yes. This is StarClan. And I am Leopardstar. The first leader of LeopardClan. You, Firepaw are a very special cat. You hold a power more powerful than StarClan itself."
"What is it?"
"You'll have to discover that for yourself."
As she started to fade away I asked her "Why me?"
"Because you have the strongest heart I've ever seen"
I woke up wondering how I was still alive. I had no burn marks, and fur was still on my pelt. It was as if the fire had never happened. But I knew it did. I got up and walked around the camp. The dens had all burned down, the camp completely empty. No sign of any other cats.
I strode out of camp into the forest. "Hello? Anyone? Please! Answer me!"
"Over here! Firepaw!"
I rush over to the voice, hope filling me.
"Oh Firepaw! We thought you died in the fire!"
"How are you still alive?"
" you were trapped in the middle of
the flames!"
"Are you visiting from Starclan?"
I realize I might be dead. I check my pelt for stars. None. I'm alive.
"Don't worry. I'm alive. The fire... Didn't seem to affect me."
Firestar stepped forward. "Firepaw... I thought I lost you..." He pressed his muzzle up against my forehead, then stepped back.
Suddenly a red pelt burst from the crowd and bowled me over. "Firepaw! Your alive! I-I thought you were dead. We all did. Oh Firepaw!" She pressed her nose hard against my cheek. "Flamepaw, I'm fine no need to worry." I told her. "I'll always be here for you."
I push my sister away and step forward. "Now that we know I'm not dead, we should start to rebuild the camp." I look into Firestar's eyes as he nods approvingly. "You'll make an amazing leader someday" he whispers to me. I sure hope so...
