Chapter 18
"Silversol!" Foxstar rasped. "Be gone, you are not to be here!"
"Keep your mother's paws on," Silversol flicked her tail, "I merely need to have a discussion with my little kittypets." She headed toward Mousepelt and Amberheart, but Limptail and Badgergrowl pounced in front of her, their claws unsheathed and teeth bared.
Mousepelt got to her paws and motioned for Limptail to move away. He looked from her to Silversol and backed away his head bowed. Amberheart put her tail on Badgergrowl and, with a huff, walked off. Mousepelt stood close to Amberheart ready to fight.
"How sweet," Silversol purred, "you two are friends again, how long will this last I wonder?"
"What do you have against us being friends?" Amberheart growled her eyes narrowed.
"Well, for one thing, friendship never lasts," Silversol explained, beginning to circle the warriors, "nothing does, one of these seasons something will happen to where I will die twice, but not tonight, it's the night of peace, right?" The evil cat looked up to Foxstar, who glared down at her with his old hazel eyes. "Admit it, Mousepelt you're jealous of Amberheart and Amberheart, well, you fear Mousepelt."
"I do not!" Amberheart spat.
"Oh?" Silversol lashed her tail. "Well then if you don't fear as much as you used to, this may help, Mousepelt, Amberheart, did you know all three of us are the same thing?"
"What do you mean?" Mousepelt unsheathed her claws.
"I was born out of pure treachery, my father mated with two different she-cats so my mother hated us for being his kits, me and my sister had to live as kittypets and she discovered the lives of wild cats, so we joined two different Clans that suited our interests, but I was hated, unloved, she; however, was treated like a princess! I hated her and everyone in my Clan, so to get my revenge I killed every kit and queen in every Clan! Then when I was at the top she killed me and brought me back down.
"But then something happened, I never believed in StarClan, so I was stuck in darkness, then you two were born," Silversol went on, "you had tje same father, but had different mothers, I decided that I would remake what had happened to me, but I had to see who would be the perfect replacement for me, and you, my dear Mousepelt, fit that to a T."
"What are you talking about?" Mousepelt snarled.
"Don't you get it!" Silversol snapped. "You two were born from treachery, just like me, and thanks to that, I was brought back to live in the Dark Forest. I watched you since you were kits, I observed that you two were living that life I had, but I'm gonna make it different, seeing Mousepelt suffer in Amberheart's shadow, seeing her hate grow and grow each day, it was delicious, so I have broken away from Amberheart, her life has been much too good for too long! Don't you agree, Mousepelt?"
"No!" Mousepelt yowled.
"Join me so we may kill Amberheart and the rest of these selfish cats!"
"No!"
"Don't you get it, you are me!"
"No!" Mousepelt swung her claws, but Silversol had vanished in a puff of smoke. The white scarred she-cat then appeared at the entrance of the island.
"You're both fools!" Silversol called out. "If I die by any other cats paws, you'll die with me and if you two die I die! We are one and always will be!" She then had a chilling grin on her face and she turned to Limptail. "And Limptail, I wouldn't waste my time with that brown she-cat, I'm afraid she's in love with someone else."
"Leave!" Mousepelt shrieked. Silversol then vanished in her smoke, leaving the Clan's in silence.
"The Gathering is over!" Silvertail called out. "StarClan is not pleased!" All the cats looked up and realized dark clouds were rolling over the moon, darkening the sky.
