 Flowerstream turned to her medicine supplies. The outbreak of greencough was spreading viciously through BlogClan, and she needed more catmint quick. Of course, as luck would have it, there wasn’t a shred of catmint in her medicine stores. She would have to go out to the Twolegplace to retrieve some. It was the only way to save her clan.



 Stepping out of the den, a shiver ran through her body from the cold. She called out to Cakestar. “I’m going to look for catmint!”



 The leader responded with a rasping cry. “Do it.” She coughed violently. Flowerstream was filled with shock. She had no idea the leader was sick as well. If she didn’t get catmint as soon as possible, her clan would be gone.



 Flowerstream headed out of the BlogClan camp and walked through the forest, filled with mist. The harsh wind blew snow in her eyes, so she stepped blindly through the treacheries of leaf-bare. Every paw-step was carefully planned as she padded through the snow. The wind was slowing down, and her fluffy gray fur was plastered to her sides with half-melted ice. She could see half-clearly now- the scent of the air told her she was close to the Twolegplace. The sun had been high when she left, and now it was about to set.



 Last green-leaf, she had gathered enough catmint to heal the Clan through leaf-bare. She never thought to gather more. ''I’m mousebrained. ''Her idiocy was killing the Clan.



 She hadn’t thought about getting catmint in so long that she didn’t know which way to turn. It could be left to the Twolegplace, or it could be right- and the scent didn’t give any clue as to which direction as the correct one.

 She decided to turn left and continue walking. She had to find the catmint, no matter if she got lost. Almost immediately, the scent in the air changed from the rank air of Twolegplace to a sweet, comforting smell. Even though she knew this was most likely the wrong path, curiosity drew her closer. A purple and blue aura glowed on the horizon. As she came nearer to it, she saw it was coming from a cave. Could it be?

 She was hit with sudden memories. This cave contained the Moonpage, the place where BlogClan communicated with their ancestors. A strong violet light shone from the inside, and claw marks on the outside glowed with a soft blue light. Each claw mark represented a BlogClan cat. Back when they used to go to the Moonpage, each kit would make a tiny claw mark representing themselves. The Moonpage had been lost when the BlogClan cats had to move camp from one side of the expansive forest to the other to escape Twolegs who were chopping down trees. Now she had found the mystic area again.

 She entered into the dark cave. Voices whispered around her. She drew closer and closer to a glowing purple stone…

 The room exploded with light. Markings on the walls began to glow in every color of the rainbow as spirits swirled around her. Old words, memories, and friends burst out at her with each particle of light. Two starry figures set their paws on the ground.

 Flowerstream stared in disbelief. “Raggedoak? Applewood?”

<p class="MsoNormal"> Raggedoak purred. “You have done well, Flowerstream. You will reunite the clan with their warrior ancestors! We’ve been waiting for this day for so long.”

<p class="MsoNormal"> “I’m not here to talk with you. I need catmint to save my Clan. I turned the wrong way, and now everyone in my Clan is going to die because of me.” Guilt washed over Flowerstream in a roaring wave, nearly drowning her.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Applewood looked at her. “There is no catmint at the Twolegplace. The seeds are hiding in the ground, waiting to sprout, but it won’t be grown until green-leaf.”

<p class="MsoNormal"> Flowerstream was devastated. “How will I heal my Clan?”

<p class="MsoNormal"> The two starry-furred warriors looked at each other. Raggedoak nodded and closed his eyes. Sprigs of catmint sprung up in the patches of dirt piled up on the edge of the cave.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Flowerstream was filled with hope and excitement. “My Clan is saved!” She carefully picked catmint leaves.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Applewood sighed. “Don’t expect us to do that again. It’s very exhausting.”

<p class="MsoNormal"> Raggedoak flicked Applewood’s ear with his tail, then turned to Flowerstream again. “Bring the catmint back to your Clan. Tell them about us. Would you do that for me?”

<p class="MsoNormal"> The young medicine cat nodded respectfully, catmint hanging tenderly from her jaw. She left the warmth and safety of the cave.

<p class="MsoNormal"> She knew what she would say to her healed Clanmates. She hadn't done it alone. The Moonpage had saved her Clan. <ac_metadata title="Gathering Fanfic Entry-The Moonpage"> </ac_metadata>
