"The Clan Within The Stars, what should I do?" Smolderspirit spoke aloud to the silence of the forest. It was as if everything was sleeping. "I loved him so dearly, and now, I've lost him. Is Willowsong really his destiny?"
The night sky glittered, as if her ancestors themselves were wondering as well. Smolderspirit looked at the water running near. It glowed a beautiful blue, and Smolderspirit wanted nothing more than to touch it, but knew even walking near it, she could fall in. Then, she smelled a warm scent that she knew well. One that she hadn't in a while.
"Wait, Dad?!" Smolderspirit swiftly turned around, and there he stood, Harestrike. His eyes still had the calm grey she loved, and his pelt was glittery, like a pool of stars. He smiled, and mewed, "Hello, Smolderspirit. My strong she. Don't worry, for I have heard you. I have an important message for you." Smolderspirit nodded. "Go on," the young she-cat meowed.
The former lion of LionClan looked into Smolderspirit's eyes, and spoke, "A darkness inside the pride will awaken, and loyalties will shift. A triangle will break, and anger will lift. Beware the sound of the alluring song, for she was a traitor all along."
Smolderspirit looked at her former guardian with shock. "Smolderspirit, lives are on the line. You MUST follow your head, and listen to your heart," Harestrike told the stunned she-cat. Smolderspirit came back to her senses. Harestrike mewed a goodbye, and vanished into the night again. Smolderspirit looked at the water, no longer glowing.
"Wait! Don't leave me! I need you...please..." Smolderspirit cried out into the night. She could hear the lapping of the water. She walked up to the river, and drank. In it, she saw herself, a perfect reflection. Suddenly, it became so clear. This was a part of her destiny. And Willowsong wasn't Owlwhisker's...

''Did you know," a black she-cat with a long tail asked her mate in wonder, "that there were cats in the forest?"
"Cats in the forest? Don't be ridiculous! I am just glad that our kits are not allowed outside yet" a tortoiseshell tom said.
Suddenly there came a loud yell from inside the no-pelt den. Out came a small female chimera kit yelling "I FOUND IT!" Those three words made two other kits hop out of the bellcat entrance. The first kit to come out was a tom with cream and white fur, laughing. The last kit came out was a white she-cat with long tufts of fur in between her ears. Her underbelly fur and tail was just as long, and the fur was long on her long tail.
"Dream, Oat, Cloud get back inside the no pelt den right this instant!" The tom yowled.
"Oh Frances doesn't be so harsh on them." the she-cat purred.
"But Lucy, you know as well as I do that they will want to follow me to my no-pelt's den, then your no-pelt will be so worried that it will forget about you and will look for the kits," Frances said.
"You don't have to worry so much." Dream said, "We would not be able to hop on top of the fence!"
"Speak for yourself!" her sister Cloud said as she hopped onto the fence. She gasped as she steadied herself and looked out on the world beyond the fence.
It was right then and there that she knew that was where she belonged. It would mean leaving her family and life behind, but that was where she was going to go the day that the other no pelts came to look at her siblings. She would call that day as the day of Escape.
