Lakepool wondered through the medicine den, putting away various herbs and berries. He was worried about Reflecteye,now Reflectstar. She was very distant when she got back from the Cave of Stars,and he found it hard to sense her emotions. He tried to think of what could make her seem so lost, though she is right in her home. I can't sense her usually bold emotions...He thought. Defeated, he padded into his nest.Maybe he would have a dream.
Lakepool padded through the forest,making his way to the Cave of Stars.He saw Reflectstar sleeping there,earning her nine lives. Lakepool paused, and then put his nose on the great stone. He was then warped into her nine life ceremony. "There's Reflectstar." Lakepool whispered to himself. "And with this life I give you Love. Use it to love all the cats in your clan." He heard a tom mew to Reflectstar.Then,the moon turned red like blood. The clearing no longer had the white glow of the full moon, but a red circle,like blood.
"The night of the red moon,Death will come" the tom mewed to her. She seemed to shake with fear and confusion,but she just nodded slightly.She warped out of the dream, as did Lakepool.He silently followed her again, who waited outside of the cave. "What is she doing?" Lakepool thought. It was rather odd that she didn't go straight home. Then he saw another,bulkier shape come out of the cave, with a pelt as white as snow. "Blazeheart! No,BlazeSTAR!"
"Want to walk back with me?" She asked him,hope in her eyes."Sure, I guess." They walked home,discussing the words of the starry tom. When Blazestar left, Lakepool felt an emotion bounce off of her. "Love. But why?"
