Blank Sunlight

...Life was still in the Dark Forest as Sunlight trudged through the peaty earth. The small mushrooms, with their eerie light, made this place even weirder. Sunlight looked around, wondering where she was. ''I thought only evil cats went here. I never did anything evil. ...Except murdering my leader in an attempt to become deputy. But, why would Starclan send me here just because of that?''

 Sunlight 's pale yellow spotted fur was a dark brown in the dim light, her amber eyes almost black. She flexed her claws. ''..Maybe killing Streamstar was a bad idea. I hate this place! Its muddy and dirty and I'm getting dirt in my toes! ''Sunlight grunted, and kept walking on, looking for any sign of life. She stopped when she heard a rustle.

"H-hello..?"

Nothing replied. Sunlight gulped nervously when she saw a faint shadow.

"Whos there? Show yourself!"

Sunlight saw the shadow come closer. She could make out a large, muscular tom. The tom stopped, and sat down. He looked in Sunlight's direction, and flicked his tail. Sunlight shuddered at the deep tone in the tom's mew.

"Hello, Sunlight. Welcome to the Dark Forest. My name is Tigerstar."

Sunlight fought off the urge to panic. She had heard stories of Tigerstar as a kit; a murderous, bloodthirsty savage who killed many cats. Tigerstar padded closer, and Sunlight could now make out his pelt and face. Tigerstar smiled.

"Well, Sunlight, I must congratulate you. Killing your own leader in order to gain power is a source of pride here. You'll be amongst high recognition. "

Sunlight growled.

"Its not great! I killed Streamstar only because I was impatient! If I could take it back, I would! "

Tigerstar glared at Sunlight.

"Quit your mewling. It doesn't matter now. You're stuck here for good, just like the rest of us."

Sunlight wanted to shred Tigerstar's ears, but she kept herself calm. He was right, after all. ''Starclan! Can you hear me?! I'm sorry! Please! Just give me one more chance! I promise I'll be good!''

Just then, as if Starclan had heard her plea, she saw the Dark Forest, and Tigerstar, fade into black. Soon, sound filled her ears; the sound of mewling kits and mothers telling them to be quiet. She could smell milk. When she opened her eyes, Sunlight realised she was alive! Next to her were two small kits; a black one and a brown tabby with golden spots. Sunlight herself was the same; a pale yellow spotted tabby with amber eyes. Sunlight suckled at her new mother, purring. ''Thank you, Starclan. I promise to be the best warrior in all of the Clans!''
