Gentle'Voice screamed as her side was scratched by a badgers claws. Near by, she heard Snowy'Fern shriek loudly as a badger bit her flank. The two cats had been out on a border patrol, and had found tunnels from Heather'Stars time. They had wanted to explore, but they were attacked by badgers. They were by the camp, where cats could surely hear them. But no one came to their aid. Gentle'Voice and Snowy'Fern fought off the badgers, until they were so battle worn they had to drag themselves forward into their camp. The two cats went to the medicine cat den and pulled themselves into the same nest. They were flopped next to each other, like limp Ragdoll cats. Snowy'Fern and Gentle'Voice had to force their eyes to be open. They felt pain attack their bodys more than once. They coughed out blood occasionally. Suddenly, an apprentice ran into the den. The young she-cat tripped over something, and feel back and cracked her head open. The watched as the Young apprentices life bled out onto the sand. Golden didn't deserve that. Snowy'Fern and Gentle'Voice felt pain shudder through them. After that, they felt something like peace. As the their eyes opened, they saw the walls of the medicine den. "Did we not..?" Snowy'Fern didn't finish her sentence, for she saw 3 figures standing by them, with stars in their fur. "Mother!" All three cats cried out at once. All three of the ghostly figures smiled. They spoke with one voice. "My dears, though you have passed, you can't travel to Starclan yet. You must care for your clan." They said. All three cats nodded, more focused on their parents who looked so peaceful and calm, as if nothing bad had happened. "we must go now." They said. "Wait!!" Golden cried out. "You only just got here!" She cried out. But the three mothers quickly vanished back to starclan, only leaving 3 things behind. Each cat padded to what their mother left behind. On each string was a bottle filled with star dust, a piece of the moonstone, a vial with moon water, and a small pendent with the first letter of their names on it. As soon as they touched the chords, the went around their necks very snugly. "These are so pretty." Gentle'Voice said, reaching up with a paw to touch her necklace again. "They really are." Snowy'Fern murmured. Small tears fell from Snowy'Fern's eyes. They were a soft silver. As they touched the ground, some of them sprung into flowers, whilst others just stayed as silver droplets as they slowly sank into the ground. As Golden cried too, her tears were gold, and they did the same thing as Snowy'Fern's tears. Gentle'Voice forced herself to cry. Her tears were the softest, most gente shade of white. They did the exact same thing as Golden and Snowy'Fern's tears. "I can't believe it. We cry colored tears now." Gentle'Voice said. "It must be because we aren't here in the real world. Not much anyway, since we're  just ghosts.." Golden whispered. They each look scared and nervous. They also didn't understand why the medicine cat had ignored them, left them alone to pass away. "You must Care for your clan." They said. But how could they care for their clan when they weren't cared for themselves?
