Life blurred past the golden she-cat like a Twoleg monster; the world had dimmed into darkness, and the stars had gone with it. Silverpelt was now Demonpelt, and StarClan was BoneClan.
Honeymist cried and wailed as she tore through the forest, eyes wide and their natural blue color gone into a hueless tinge, huge as horses' hoofs, and her tail was just as bushy as one.
No! No! No!
I was having a nightmare!
...But I wasn't, was I?
Was it real?
Or is my whole life just one huge nightmare?
StarClan, I put my faith in you...
...But now...
I've withdrawn it...
Until you've proven yourselves once more..
Tripping into the MistClan camp, Honeymist hurled herself on the ground before all of the other cats, wailing only a single word, filled with hate, rage, anger, fear, and horror:
"Bane!"

Rustpaw whirled around to face Honeymist, eyes wide with fear and concern. He darted to her side, looking between Umberkit and the golden she-cat. He licked at her forehead, trying to get a different response than simply 'Bane'. He leaned his ears back and looked behind him. Silverthroat!! I need you over here, too! He yowled, hoping the medicine cat would come soon. He flicked his tail, trying to reassure her that she was home.

Honeymist simply shivered, her quivering turning to shaking violently. "Don't...need...medicine cat..." She murmured absently.
"...What I need is...faith..."
Honeymist's blue eyes were quickly glazing; the golden she-cat violently shook, her tail lashing around and her eyes rolling.
"...StarClan has left us."

Starclan.. has left us? What is all this nonsense? How could starclan leave us? He seemed almost fearful. His views were righteous when it came to Starclan; he was a firm believer. It frightened him as she spoke it; what has Starclan done to make her say such a thing? Faith in what? He asked kindly, trying make any sense in her.

Honeymist didn't answer Rustpaw; her hueless eyes just stared blankly at him, the small grayish kit who had endured almost as much as her with the encounter with Bane.
..Almost, but nowhere near as much...
The lean golden feline's whiskers lie still, drooping, and her ears were flat against her golden-furred skull.
She stared at the small kit before mewing tensely, "Faith... in whatever watches over the forest now... besides BoneClan."

He blinked back some surprise. Boneclan does not rule the forest. The four clans do, 'n I don't care what some cat has to say to that. He's not going break such a tradition to the four clans ruling this forest. He said stubbornly, tail flicking curiously. Do not give up faith, now. He pleaded, looking up at her with large eyes.

Honeymist snorted, adverting her colorless gaze elsewhere. "StarClan has left me, so I have left them. I never wanted to give up faith..." She sighed noisily, and shifted.
"But they left me no choice. When a demon rapes you, you lose all hope." She replied simply.
It wasn't long before cold realization struck her; she started to twitch, shake, and then she buried her golden head between her paws. Honeymist began to sob, crying uncontrollbly, howling in between cries, "That demon! Bane!"

It suddenly struck him. It was then that her story made sense! And he recalled how she cried out to Starclan... No.. He looked down sadly at her. His eyes flashed from pity to rage and he looked up into the brisk and burning sky. Bane.. He would pay for his mistake. But for now, he had to care for Honeymist. He lay down next to her, tail swaying gently over the wet rock.

Honeymist jerked her head up, but instead of dull nothingness, anger and hatred replaced her blue-clear gaze.
"Do you understand, kit? Do you understand that I'm going to give birth? Do you understand that within me, I carry the sons and daughters of Bane himself? An heir to his Shadowed Throne?"

I do. He said darkly, ears leaning back. And within those eyes were mature understanding, a reasoning beyond his years. And he did. He sighed sadly, anger burning in him. How dare Bane?? He let out a sudden hiss, snarling at an invisible enemy. His tail smoothly ran over the ground, thinking of ways to fight back.

"Oh, little kit," Honeymist cried, "Rustpaw, I knew you'd understand! Now.." She glanced around after heaving herself to her paws, "I'm going to the nursery."
TO: Nursery

Rustpaw nodded his head in acceptance to the older cat. He smiled pleasantly to her, trying to raise her spirits a little before padding away to get something from the food pile. Do you want me to get you something? He called over his shoulder before she entered the den, flicking his tail.
