The Place of No Stars (book)/Chapter 6

==Chapter description==
:Rootspring watches as Willowshine curls up, trying to fall asleep and dream her way into the Dark Forest. He begins to doubt the Clans' decision, asking Bristlefrost if they should stop the RiverClan medicine cat. Bristlefrost informs him that all they can do is watch. The gathered cats stare at Willowshine's body. Rootspring remembers what the older cats had said about the Dark Forest. He notes that the sleeping she-cat looks peaceful. Looking closer, he begins to wonder if Willowshine was breathing. A spirit rises from Willowshine. 
:Mothwing hurries to her friend's side, alarming the others that the medicine cat was not breathing. Rootspring mutters that she is already dead, but the other medicine cats still try to revive her. Willowshine's spirit tries to go back into her body, but suddenly freezes. Her spirit is dragged away from her body, though the SkyClan tom cannot see the thing dragging the spirit. Willowshine's spirit desperately tells the thing dragging her to stop, but it drags her into the Moonpool. Mothwing and Rootspring declare in unison that the she-cat was gone, but the yellow warrior knows that their words mean different things. Jayfeather goes to the body, stating that Willowshine was killed. Rootspring adds that he saw her spirit leave her body, trying to go back into it, but she was dragged into the Moonpool by something. The blind tabby tom questions this, so Rootspring explains again, more clearly this time.
:Shadowsight nudges his way to the front of the gathered cats, asking if they were happy. He adds that Ashfur should not be underestimated, and now RiverClan has no medicine cat. The cats discuss how someone knew she was coming. Rootspring suggests that the dark tom may be watching. Mothwing answers that Willowshine thought of Softpelt when trying to reach the wretched Dark Forest, and the dark warrior may have received the message instead. Shadowsight goes toward the Moonpool, stating that no other cat should die. Jayfeather intervenes, telling him that this was a mistake, with Rootspring agreeing. He declares that the Dark Forest is much too dangerous as of now, as even though they have their theories of how Willowshine was killed, they are not certain. The tom adds that they should wait and try to find a way to get to the Dark Forest without risking any cat's life.
