Warriors Novella Set: She-Cats of the Lake

Epilogue

It has been many moons since the SkyClan ambush on ShadowClan during Redclaw's vigil. Fallenrain very well got away from murdering Redclaw, as no cat found out. Fallenrain couldn't feel any more satisfied.

Mallowstar has lost her last life due to a case of greencough, and it is time for Fallenrain to receive her nine lives and become the new leader of ShadowClan.

A lot has happened in her life since becoming deputy. New life has come into ShadowClan. Flintflower and Copperwing had kits, Silentkit, Toadkit, and Stormkit. Willowmist and Sedgefang had kits, Finchkit, Snakekit, Rockkit, and Cedarkit. Starlingnose and Flyspring had kits, Cherrykit and Sunkit. Nightwillow and Buzzardflight had a kit, Shadekit. Timbershine and Dustleap had a kit, Lightkit. The nursery is crazy busy with all of these kits, and Fallenrain couldn't be happier.

"Are you ready?" Ashpelt asks Fallenrain as they approach the Moonpool.

"I'm ready as I'll ever be," Fallenrain purrs.

"Just touch your nose to the Moonpool and you'll visit StarClan," Ashpelt meows. Fallenrain nods at her brother and touches her nose to the water as told. She begins to become drowsy and she soon falls asleep next to the Moonpool. She opens her eyes to find herself somewhere she doesn't recognize as StarClan.

StarClan wouldn't look like this, right? Fallenrain thinks as she observes the area. She is surrounded by an extremely shaded and foggy forest. The scent of death and blood fill her nostril.

"This is not StarClan," Fallenrain meows. "What did I do wrong?" She asks herself.

"Oh, nothing, dear," Fallenrain hears a voice from behind her. She turns her head to spot many cats she does not recognize.

"Who are you?" Fallenrain hisses at the sight of them.

"Oh, we don't bite," The same cat meows. "I'm Tornstar, and welcome to the dark forest, otherwise known as the Place of No Stars."

"What happened to StarClan?" Fallenrain hisses. "What did you do to them?!" she questions, arching her back.

"Oh, nothing," The tom answers. "You just don't belong with them."

"I don't belong?" Fallenrain asks.

"You know what I mean. You've been one bad kitty," Tornstar meows. "So, we're here to give you an extra life instead. It's all we can do. StarClan does not want to give you nine lives."

"Okay..." Fallenrain responds. Tornstar pads over to her and touches his nose to her forehead.

StarClan doesn't want to give me nine lives?! Oh no, I'm in trouble. Fallenrain thinks.

"I give you the life of evil. Use it to have a tyrannical rule over ShadowClan that mirrors my own. You are now Fallenstar, leader of ShadowClan. Follow us and ShadowClan will be the best Clan by the lake," Tornstar meows. All of a sudden, Fallenstar then wakes up. Fallenstar's eyes are wide as she fills up with terror.

I have to fix this! I have to become a great leader so I can be a part of StarClan when I die! Fallenstar thinks. I won't have much time, I only have two lives instead of nine! StarClan, please forgive me.
