Wildkit fell asleep. She had a dream. A beautiful white she-cat approached her. "Hello, Wildkit. I'm Starflame, a warrior of StarClan,"
Cautiously, Wildkit proceeded,"He...hello. I'm Wildkit,"
Starflame purred,"Oh, I know who you are. You're Amberfeather's daughter,"
She jumped in surprise,"How'd you know that?"
"Haha, like I said, I'm a warrior from StarClan and I watched over your mother when she was a kit,"
Woah...
"Just needed to ask you...do you know what's happening with the Clans at the moment?"Starflame asked.
Wildkit shook her head, feeling curiosity building up inside of her.
"Three days after your mother was first apprenticed, her mother Wheatley was found dead,"
Wildkit gasped,"Dead like...she died or dead like..."
"Killed,"Starflame comfirmed, "ThunderClan went to the Gathering and found that a cat from each Clan had been murdered on the same day,"
"Why would anyone kill?"Wildkit gasped.
"I'm getting to that. And so anyway, Amberfeather found fur and a scent. Wildkit, do you know who Dandelionshade is?"Starflame continued.
"Wasn't she my mother's mentor?"
"She was. Anyways, not long after she found out she was pregnant, she had to tell everyone who the murderer was. So at the Gathering, she revealed that it was Dandelionshade,"Starflame hesitated,"And do you know who your father is?"
She shook her little grey head.
"You can come out!"
At her words, a starlit silver tom emerged from the bushes. He purred when he saw her.
"Hi,"he meowed shyly.
"I'm Wildkit..."
"I'm Stonestar,"in that moment, he looked like he might have bursted. Stonestar ran over to her and purred, licking her.
"Uh...did you say Stonestar?"Wildkit asked.
"Yes. I was SkyClan's leader until recently. And yes. That means you're half-Clan,"Stonestar replied.
"W...wait. Amberfeather's a medicine cat...and you're another Clan's former leader...I shouldn't have been born, should I?"she questioned, sadness growing.
"Wildkit..."Starflame started.
"My life is a mistake!"she wailed and ran away, hitting herself. Wake up, wake up!
She jolted up. Amberfeather was returning, seeming tired and defeated. Oh thank StarClan! I want to tell her about the dream!
"Mother!"she meowed.
"Yes, Wildkit?"she yawned.
"I need to talk to you,"
Amberfeather's tiredness disappeared. "Come on,"
Wildkit followed her out of the dirtplace tunnel into the forest, the camp in sight.
"Looks like the illness has gone,"Amberfeather commented.
For the first time, she remembered that she'd been ill. The StarClan dream seemed to have cured it. She shrugged. Well, it's gone and I have no wish for it to come back!
"Am I a mistake?"she blurted out.
"A...A mistake? No!"she paused,"You had a dream, didn't you?"
Wildkit nodded,"I met a cat named Starflame, she told me about Dandelionshade. Then Stonestar came...we're half-Clan with our mother as a medicine cat, that's against every code that StarClan has formulated,"
Amberfeather sighed,"I'm sorry, Wildkit. I shouldn't have fallen for him. It's my fault. Not your's. Not Stonestar's.  Mine,"
"Well I'm glad you admitted it,"she hissed and stalked back to camp.
