Stargazer sat on her haunches, looking out to the stars sadly. She blinked, and looked down at her paws. Would her friends ever be anything more than stars? She closed her eyes, summoning up sweet memories of her mother, father, and sister.
Can you hear me?
A gust of wind ruffled her fur but she kept her eyes shut tightly, not daring to open them from the fear. She quivered slightly, but not from the wind.
Are you near me?
She felt a shiver run down her spine, chilling her to the very bone. Maybe DreamClan was only a myth? Or were her parents not accepted into DreamClan?
Can we pretend, to leave, and then - we'll meet again...
Suddenly Stargazer's eyes flew open as a warm pelt brushed against her fur. But nothing was there. She looked frantically around, searching for the answer. "Yes, Stargazer, we here you!" A desperate sounding cry sounded out, from all sides at once. It was her mother's voice. Stargazer gazed left, then right. Then her mother was there in front of her, hazy but still there. She felt her mother's pelt, and another pelt from behind her, brush against her, and she turned to see her father. They circled her, and their warmth comforted Stargazer.
But then they were gone, as quickly as they were there. Stargazer was left alone again, wondering why they had left so suddenly without as much as a wisp of a warning. Then she heard a twig crack behind her and her stomach lurched. She whipped around.

Torridheart had wandered off from Breaker and Broken. Breaker had gone to see Darkshadow and he didn't know where Broken had gone. He shivered as the cold night air blew, making sounds of moaning by blowing against the trees. "Creepy" He whispered and kept on walking. He noticed a cat sitting up ahead, and, trying his best not to make noise, snuck up behind her when her snapped a twig. Torridheart stood straight up when she whipped around to look at him, he looked nervous, like he hadn't meant to interupt her or something. "Hi...?"

Stargazer blinked. "Hello.." she murmured nervously, "You're not a Clan cat, are you?" She grew hot with embarrassment. "Sorry."

Torridheart let out a long breath, usually when he accidentally interupted a cat, they eiter attacked him or got REALLY mad at him, but this she-cat didn't? Strange. "Uh, no, I left my clan to go stay with two loners, Breaker and Broken, I just went out on my own for a bit...uh...are you a clan cat?" He asked "Oh, and by the way, Im Torridheart"

"I'm Stargazer. I'm not...I used to be an AshClan cat," Stargazer mewed, "I...I was exiled." Her eyes flashed with sadness and she looked down towards her paws.

Torridheart thought, he only knew of a couple AshClan cats, Minnowstep, the medicine cat, his friend Stonestream and his mate Dawnfur. "Why were you exiled? I simply chose to leave because Broken and Breaker needed my help...but...you?"

"I...My father was in RageClan and my mother was in AshClan. Neither Clan, including me and my sister, knew this until the war..." She took a deep breath. "One of the fellow RageClan warriors saw my father not killing, and avoiding, my mother a few times. So did everyone else. The warrior killed my father, calling him a traitor when he refused to kill Wishpaw, my sister. The warrior...although I won't say his name...knew Wishpaw was related because she and my father look exactly alike, and he was avoiding her, too. Then the warrior turned and killed my sister, then my mother. By the time he tried to kill me, he was worn out. I ran him off a cliff by accident." She looked saddened. "My mother had been my mentor, so when we got back to camp, I was assigned a new mentor. The Clan was already wary of me, so it only made things worse when a RageClan patrol killed him and I brought back his body. Then Featherstar exiled me, and all the cats battered and beat me. I ran out here, and now I live here. My old name was Desirepaw."

"Desirepaw? I think i've heard of you, im not quite sure, but I think Minnowstep has mentioned a cat witht eh name Desirepaw at gatherings before, so you must be the one he was talking about, he said he felt real sorry that you got exiled like that, his friend said it wasn't fair, that you had proven yourself to be loyal to AshClan many times over..." Torridheart thought of one gathering when he was sitting near a group of medicine cats and warriors when they were talking of the old war.

Stargazer still looked sad. "But most everyone thought it was fair then. Its not the same...," she sighed, looking at Torridheart, "You chose to leave, but I didn't. I was exiled, at 9 moons. I'm a disgrace - a failure."

"Your only what you believe to be, I will not agree with what people say about themselves even if its good, I always say to them, 'If you believe yu are that, then so be it', usually, I agree...but not often., its rare, and right now is one of those rare occasions, your not a failure, or disgrace" Torridheart snorted, thinking of how when Stonestream was an apprentice, he used to pass on stories his clan told him, and when he told a BoulderClan apprentice who told Torridheart, then when he was Torridpaw.

Stargazer just shrugged sadly. "I may be a failure. Its who I am - who I was meant to be. If DreamClan wills it, so be it."

Torridheart said nothing, but simply tilted his head. "So...I ahve a question, ahve you ever heard...of a cat, able to hear spirits that are trapped on earth? Like, unable to go to DreamClan just yet?" He thought it was a strange question to ask just anyone but he wanted to know her answer.

Stargazer gave him a funny look. She was speechless a while. She could hear things sometimes, spirits of cats, cats who were not alive, but not in DreamClan either. After a little bit, she spoke. "Er...yes, I have." She didn't try to hide her feelings, it was was mostly impossible anyway.
OOC: I didn't mention this in her bio, because its kind of like a surprise, XD, and I just kinda...decided I wanted her to be able to right now XDDD

Stargazer tilted her head. "Mm..." she mewed quietly, "Well, see...I kinda...I...Spirits....I can see trapped spirits, but mostly only hear them."
