“Mistlight, don’t! Please! You don’t have to!” Lavenderdrop was sobbing on the StarClan side of the border, while Mistlight simply stood in the Dark Forest. “It was already bad enough that you went here, now you’re following through with their plan?” Lavenderdrop stepped closer to him. “You don’t understand, it’s what HAS to be done! You know you could join us if you want… then you’d still be here.” Mistlight looked at Lavenderdrop straight in the eye. “You can’t! Just think of how many cats would vanish!” Lavenderdrop tried to stay strong, but her voice shook and her paws trembled. Mistlight sighed and his head drooped before looking back up at her again, gaze cold. “WHY DID I EVEN TRY TO WORK WITH YOU? You StarClan cats want to keep the decent part of the world for yourselves. You don’t understand how WE feel, in these terrible, wet, dark, dead, and cold lands.” He raised a paw and reared before slamming it down on top of Lavenderdrop. He slashed at her neck harshly, as she screeched, “MISTLIGHT NO-“ but it was too late. She had already faded into nothingness. He turned and stalked away into the Dark Forest, thinking about Lavenderdrop, the cat he killed- no, the cat he loved. ————————————————————————— Credit: Contest host: @Stargazer_64 OC’s: @pizpaz Story: @pizpaz Lighting, shading and coloring: @pizpaz
