Chapter 30 Part 1: Go!

I looked at the cat for a few moments, it did not seem real... The dreams were all so foggy to me, but I knew, that I had to find these cats... I then began to look at the stars with a smile, thanking them, I had found them... This was all them, I would not be here if it wasn't for them.

I would not have ever met my mate Mint, I would still be a kittypet, just at a different place. Sometimes, I wish that I was back there, things were much simpler, and life was not nearly as dangerous as it was nowadays. I would not give it up, if I had the chance however.

I loved the wild, it might be scary, but I would give up the world as long as I could be free... That was all it was, that was why I was here... I was going to free many other cats, not just me... I would have them by my side, things were going to go great... I knew it...

Suddenly I heard a bit of angry screech from near me, I looked up as I suddenly was tackled to the ground. I heard multiple cats around me beginning to freak out, as suddenly whatever it was that was on top of my scratching at my fur was taken off of me right away.

"You killed my Lion! You were supposed to save him, but you didn't... You were there but you kept on leaving us!" The she cat yelled at me angrily. I moved back quite a bit surprised as Shadow was holding her down and growling at her menacingly...

I thought it was a bit mean, but it got the point across and it got her to calm down. I looked at all of the kits, and in fact there was 1 missing. Not the 1 that had died in the dream, I could still see that cat as it was looking around a bit scared, and not understanding as to what is going on.

"Storm... Please calm down, I do not like to see you angry... He is here now, he has other cats with him, he might have been looking for them." His mate said to her. She looked at him for a few moments, but then she turned her head back over to me a bit angrily.

I looked at the ground, if only I had not gotten caught by those twolegs, I would have gotten there a lot sooner. I then looked back up at her and then I nodded to her. She still had an angry look on her face but she was now beginning to calm down, as I could tell that she had gotten over the initial shock.

"Yes... That was not my body, that was my spirit, I was there earlier today, but the twolegs caught me and brought me here... You can take that as good or bad depending on how you want to look at it..." I said to her. She looked at me for a few moments, and then it seemed as if she was beginning to get angry again.

She looked at her mate for a few moments, trying to calm herself down. It seemed that was her only viable way to keep herself calm. I just looked at them for a few moments, as they just stood there staring at each other, almost as if they were speaking to each other from their heads.

Then the tom looked back over at me, as she just kept on staring at her mate, he then stepped up for her this time. He did not look angry at me, but he did look a bit suspicious towards me as if he thought that I might be lying. Which I did not blame him for, it was about to get a whole lot more crazy after I told them everything.

"What do you mean by spirit? We lost one of our kits today because we were waiting for you... Why should we not have just come here sooner, he would not be dead..." He said to me. I looked at him for a few moments, it was a good question, and I did not blame him for asking it.

To be truthful, I did not know how to answer what he had just asked me, I did not know the reasons that starclan did certain things and that they did not do other things to help cats like us out. I closed my eyes, trying to think of what to say to him...

As I calmed myself, and just thought through my mind for a few moments. The cats around me did not say a thing, and it seemed as if I was alone. I opened my eyes for a few moments, wondering how, and why everything had just gone dead silent.

As I opened my eyes, I saw that everything around me was frozen, I could see a bird flying right past us, but it was just stuck in the air. For a few moments I thought about flying after it and catching it, so that I could feed all of the cats around me, I could tell that they were all hungry.

I could see their ribs through the bottom side of their pelt, every cat that was around me, even me as I realized. But I could not move, I was stuck, just like the others, but the others were completely stuck, they were not even moving around.

Besides Limp, I could see her eyes moving, as she looked a bit scared, as she did not know what was going on just like me. I tried to speak to her, to make her know that I was there with her, but I could not put a word out of my mouth, I was just completely stuck.

I then heard footsteps from behind Limp, I turned my eyes over to it, as the cat that could move around walked right past Limp. He then stood in the middle of all of the cats, he nodded to each, and every one of us. I looked at the cat, squinting my eyes to see it, its body was so faint, I could barely see through it.

It was almost as if the cat was not really there, maybe I was going crazy. I did not recognize the cat either... Of course I could hardly see anything on the cat besides some stars and some eyes, the pelt was almost invisible to me.

"Moon... Limp... You were brought together, because we chose you, to bring back the clans... Now that you are here, you have done everything correctly, everything was put on a certain path for you... Once you have brought them back, I may rest in my final eternal peace..." The cat said to me. I looked at the cat, this must be a very old cat.

Suddenly, me and Limp were both able to move. I looked at Limp, and then I nodded to her, acknowledging that I saw that she was with me. She nodded back at me, as me and her both them looked back at the cat that had been speaking to us. I finally managed to put out some words...

"We are doing our best, I thank you for your help... Who are you? I have never seen you before... I can hardly even see you..." I said to the cat. The cat looked at me for a few moments, and then its fur began to light up, and it looked just like a normal cat like me and Limp...

The cat smiled at me, and then it turned its head and smiled at Limp as well. I knew that right now, me and Limp were witnessing something great, something important that might very well go down as one of the most amazing moments in the history of any of the clans...

"Me... I am GrayWing, I am the founder of the original clans... Clans that were lost, but just as soon as they came back. They were lost again... You are the one that will bring them back, you are the new GrayWing..." The cat said to me. I looked at him, a bit surprised and a bit confused at the same time.

What did he mean I was the new GrayWing? I could never be as great as a cat like this. I looked up at the cat, and then I tilted my head a bit confused as to what he had meant. He smiled back at me once again. I looked down at the ground, not sure what to say to this cat, I just knew that we were witnessing greatness right before our eyes...

"I could never be a cat like you, I have made so many mistakes, and I have a fear of failure..." I said to the cat. The cat looked at me for a few moments, then he looked down at the ground, before he then nodded to me.

I realized that Limp was with me, and she could hear every word that I was saying right now. She looked down at the ground, quite a bit embarrassed even though she should not be the cat that was embarrassed... I turned my head away from her.

"You are greater than me, you have to realize, that every cat make mistakes in his life... No cat is perfect, cats like Firestar, cats like Jayfeather, cats like Onestar... They have all witnessed their flaws in their lives... Even I have, I have made many decisions that I regret..." He said to me. I looked at the cat, feeling a bit humble.

I nodded to him, still not too sure if I knew what to say back to him. He must be crazy if he thought that I was going to be a greater cat than him. I looked down at the ground, I was now sensing a bit of fear, so many cats were looking up to me to be great, even him... What if I failed?

"What have I done that is so great? You made the clans... Firestar fought of swarms of cats that were attacking us, nothing but pure evil... More than once." I said to him. He looked at me for a few moments, and then he looked back down at the ground.

Once again, it seemed as if he did not know how to respond to it, and maybe he was right, maybe every one of those cats did have their flaws... Squirrelflight was going to give up on me, she was a cat of starclan, those cats were supposed to be perfect. GrayWing the looked back up at me and shook his head at me.

"Moonstar... You have done many great things already, you have brought several cats with you, and found several more to bring back the clans... That is not it, you have a long life ahead of you, and you have many great things that are coming your way, many hurdles, but you will fight through, and you will win..." He said to me. I looked at the cat for a few moments, he had a big smile on his head, and I gulped.

I then looked at him for a few moments, and then I looked over at Limp, hoping that she could give me some words of encouragement. She just shook her head at me, and then shrugged her shoulders. She did not know what to say, much like I. I looked back at GrayWing, trying to keep myself calm, as I nodded to him.

"I will do my best GrayWing... I hope that it is enough... I hope that we will win." I said to him. He looked at me for a few more moments, and then he began to smile at me once again. It kind of made me nervous, but I did my best to look calm, as I smiled back at the cat.

He then turned his head to Limp, he was now about to say something to her, I hoped that she could keep her calm, I had not seen her meet any of the starclan cats before, like I had seen with the other cats that were a part of my group.

"Limp... You are going to be with him... Always, he will need you by his side, can you promise me that?" He said, looking right at Limp. Limp looked over at me for a few moments, and then she looked back over at GrayWing, who was just stuck there smiling at her.

I could tell that it was getting to her head as well, she was afraid of failure just like I was... I had known that from day one, me and Limp had a lot in common, I would do my best to have her right at my side, I would teach her all that I could and I hoped that she would be able to as well... I would happily have her as my deputy...

"I- I- I promise to do my best GrayWing. I will keep all of my family safe, we will make it, and we will win... The clans are home..." She said to him. He looked at her for a few moments, and then he began to smile once again...

This time, Limp managed to keep herself calm and cool, as she smiled back at the cat. Once GrayWing knew that she was for real, he then turned his head back over to me. I shivered once again, I had so many thoughts, and questions, but I could not pick any of them to ask him...

Would he even answer me in the first place? Or would he be like the rest of the starclan cats, and just give me some sort of weird, and mysterious encoded message? I shook my head, and then got myself to pay attention to the cat that was speaking to me.

"Now that you are here... This is my resting ground, my soul will be inside yours... You will win my friend..." He said to me. I looked at him, a bit confused as to what he had meant by that. I turned my head, not sure what he was getting at...

Suddenly, he ran at me, I did not move, I was scared, I did not know what was going on... Then suddenly he jumped at me... Thats when I jumped... But he was gone, just in the blink of an eye... I looked around quite a bit confused...

We were back, and all of the cats that had been with me were here as well, it was all back to normal. I felt a bit stronger surprisingly, I looked over to Limp to see if she had actually acknowledged that she had been there with me in the first place. She just had her head looking down at the ground.

Suddenly the she cat began to get a bit upset once again at me, I moved back a little bit afraid, there was so much going on at the same time, it was all happening so fast, and to be truthful, I was not so sure how to respond to all of it.

"Are you going to answer Pipers question? What do you mean by spirits, are you saying that you were coming to us in your dreams?" She said to me. I looked at her a bit confused and a bit surprised as to how she had known that's what it was...

I looked at her for a few moments, and then I looked back over to her mate. He just shrugged his shoulders at me, he had clearly given up on trying to help me with her. I looked back at the she cat, and then nodded at her, she looked at me a bit confused as to what I had meant when I had nodded.

"Yes... I did come in your dreams... Starclan, they brought me to you, it was hard to find you, you kept on moving." I said to them. She looked as if she was going to say something at first, but she stopped herself right away then she looked back over to her mate.

Her mate, Piper, looked back at me with quite a surprised look on his face, he then looked back over at his mate, with a big smile on his face. Neither of them said a word to each other, but Piper looked back at me with quite a big smile.

"Starclan... They are real? My parents always told us about them... I thought it was just a myth! Some game that they used to play to scare me." He said to me. I looked at him, a bit confused, but then I just nodded back to him. I big grin began to grow on him and his mates face.

I then heard one of their kits cough, and all of us looked over at the kit quite a bit worried. I saw a little bit of blood on the ground, as I looked at Limp, making sure she knew what had to be done... I then looked at the mates as they were staring at the kit very worried.

"Yes... Starclan is real... If you don't want your kits to be a part of them, then we need to go!
