burning trees - warriors fic
10 parts Ongoing "when the trees burn and the stars dim, look for the sapling whose leaves quake in the wind"
ASPENPAW WASN'T supposed to die. She knows it in her heart. And what's worse, she didn't end up in StarClan, she ended up in the Dark Forest, a place of darkness and torture. She doesn't remember anything about her life in the Clan's, except a single face.
But more and more memories are coming back to her, and the cats in the Dark Forest have a connection to her life that makes her wonder if they should even be in here.
WILLOWCLAN'S APPRENTICES were Aspenpaw's best friends, and now that she's dead, Almondpaw, Aspenpaw's sister, is seeking revenge against the cat who killed her. But when her friends join her in her quest, tensions and anger unfold, and the friends learn secrets they would've never guessed.
But when they learn a shocking truth about Aspenpaw, their own ties to the afterlife of StarClan and the Dark Forest become more visible, striking the question - are cats really capable of change? And if they are, what does that mean for the afterlife - and the Clans?
