Star (book)/Chapter 15

==Chapter description==
:Frostpaw is struck with pain from her wound, and she's vaguely aware that she's in Mothwing's den. Frostpaw recalls how she killed Splashtail, who she thought was her friend. As she lets go to free herself from the pain, Frostpaw finds herself in a realm of mist. To her surprise, Curlfeather arrives, though her body is terribly wounded and torn. The mist seems to heal her mother's wounds, and Frostpaw happily greets her mother. However, Frostpaw suddenly recalls how Curlfeather tricked her, and she accuses her mother of betraying RiverClan. As she argues, Frostpaw briefly hears Mothwing's comforting voice. Curlfeather shows her RiverClan's camp, where Frostpaw's Clanmates worry about the future of their Clan without a leader. As the darkness engulfs her again, Frostpaw hears Mothwing fretting over her wounds, unsure if her apprentice will wake up. Curlfeather yowls for Frostpaw to wake up, and back in the realm of mist, Frostpaw spots Sunbeam and other ShadowClan warriors sitting vigil for Berryheart. Her vision shifts to Nightheart hunting in the forest.
:Mothwing's encouragement to eat some poppy seeds prods Frostpaw from her vision, though she falls back to the mist with her mother. Curlfeather explains that she's only here because Frostpaw wants her here. The vision shifts to SkyClan's nursery, where Blossomheart is comforting her two kits. Frostpaw confronts her mother for her treachery, but Curlfeather insists she did it to keep RiverClan safe. Frostpaw claims that her mother was greedy and selfish for power to plot against Reedwhisker and Mistystar, but Curlfeather claims that RiverClan needed to change. Frostpaw yowls that her mother manipulated and used her, and as Frostpaw argues, she's aware of Mothwing redressing her wound and the days passing outside the medicine den. Frostpaw demands to know if Curlfeather feels responsible for anything she's done, though her mother's spirit refuses to admit any personal wrongdoing. Curlfeather fades back to the Dark Forest, leaving Frostpaw hurt at her mother's wickedness.
