Mistyfoot's Nine Lives - By Blossompaw
Mistyfoot padded through WindClan territory to the Moonpool with the medicine cat apprentice Willowpaw. She touched her nose to the water and fell asleep. When she woke, her and Willowpaw were at fourtrees in there dreams.
A light gray she-cat approached. "Feathertail!" Mistyfoot cried out to her former apprentice. "I've missed you, Mistyfoot." the StarClan warrior purred. Then Feathertail padded up to Mistyfoot. "I am here to give you your first life." She said. With those words Feathertail touched her nose to Mistyfoot's. "With this life I give you courage, to protect your clanmates and those who need to be protected." Mistyfoot quivered as the life flowed fiercely through her. She whimpered. How can I bear that eight more times? she thought.
The second cat to come was a gray tom. "Stonefur." Mistyfoot gasped. He was here brother who had been killed by two evil cats because he was half-clan. Stonefur padded up to her with solemn eyes. "With this life I give you strenth, may you use it swiftly in battle." Mistyfoot closed her eyes. It hurt worse than the first life. It hurt so much.
"Oh!" Mistyfoot gasped when she saw the third cat. It was Silverstream, the mother of Feathertail and Stormfur. "I have come to give you your third life." She touched noses with Mistyfoot. "With this life I give you good judgement, remember, Mistyfoot, some things are outside the warrior code." Silverstream's life made its way through her body, painless and warm.
Graypool, the cat who raised Mistyfoot and her brother was the fourth cat. She padded up to Mistyfoot. "With this life I give you love. Use it to heal those who have been hurt." Mistyfoot had expected this life to be like Silverstream's but instead it hurt, almost as much as Stonefur's life had. Mistyfoot clenched her jaws and let out a whimper.
The fifth cat was Bluestar, Mistyfoot's and Stonefur's mother. She looked apon her daughter with pride. "I have dreamed that you would become leader. I have been asked and given the privlage to give you this life even though I am not of your clan. She padded up to her daughter. "With this life I give you sacrifice. There are some things that you must give up." Bluestar's life quivered through her daughter. It hurt but not as much as Graypool's or Stonefur's. When Mistyfoot had gathered herself she looked up to her mother. "I will try hard and live up to your expectations. I am proud to be your daughter." She blinked as Bluestar went to sit in between Feathertail and Silverstream.
A white she-cat was appeared. "I am Snowfur of ThunderClan, now of StarClan, sister of Bluestar. I have also come to give you a life even though I am not one of your clan. Snowfur stepped up and touched noses with Mistyfoot. "With this life I give you endless energy. May it be helpful in battle and in times of greencough." She stepped back. "I would like you to know that I died because I was hit by a twoleg monster. My only kit, my son died in the battle with BloodClan." Snowfur's stepped all the way back till she was stilling next on the other side of Silverstream. Snowfur's life had hurt but only barely.
One lone small kit come. "My name is Mosskit and I am the daughter of Bluestar, your sister Mistyfoot." Mosskit bounded up to her sister. "With this life I give you hope. Remember, there will be times when everything seems to be hopeless, but there will still be hope in those times, dear sister." Mistyfoot felt weak. Only two more lives left. Oakheart, her father was next. "With this life I give you kindness. May you remember that not all cats understand all, daughter." He purred against her as the life passed. Then Oakheart went to stand next to Stonefur.
Leopardstar was the last cat as Mistyfoot expected. The former leader or RiverClan touched her nose to Mistyfoot's. "With this life I give you patience, dedication, and calmness. I give you the name of leader." The life inside of her hurt but the ceromony was ending. "Mistystar! Mistystar! Mistystar! the former RiverClan cats, now of StarClan, gave Mistyfoot her new name.
"You know you must not tell anyone of this." Willowpaw said on their way through WindClan territory. "I know, and I trust you won't tell either." Willowpaw nodded.
When they got back to camp, Mistystar climbed up on HighStone and said "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath HighStone." After all the cats where below her, she called out. "I say these words before StarClan, may they approve of my choice. Reedwhisker will be teh new deputy of RiverClan."
He was congratulated. Mistystar purred. Yes, this was RiverClan, where not everything was always ok, but where sometimes a cat could purr.
The End.
