NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!Poor Shady!!!!! She was my favorite cat in the story, too!
I should've reminded everyone before that update; None of the good main characters die in my books! Well they sometimes kind-of do and kind-of don't; ie Mozart, but don't freak out yet.
Though I must say Seastar that is the longest response I've had to an update of my story for a long time.

Hm, well, Shady certainly sounds mighty dead from that update, but you're the author.

And this author has a plan.
Chapter twenty eight
The Fire Kittens
The Fire Kittens
Jako saw the whole scene, he stared his little brown-blue eyes wide as they could get. Now his little sister was fighting Claw, all by herself.
He could see that she was still weakening. Her movements were slowing and then her dagger started to drop. For they were only kittens and had never been trained to fight.
“Hey! You big bully, leave ‘er alone!” Jako ran to his sister’s aid. He was fresher than she and made of the same stuff.
Fire heard his call and it diverted her attention for a moment. Claw took this moment to his advantage and raised his paw again,
But this time Jako intercepted him. Jako had retrived Fire's sword and used it to block Claw's attack.
"C'mon Fire let 'im have it!" he cried to his sister.
Anger at her friend's apperent death and anger for what Claw had done to her and what he had done do all her friends and family and all those inocent creatures welled up inside Fireheart. Something gnawed at her, an anger and madness she had not felt before.
It was hate. Hate for Claw and all he had done.
But the White Cat's words came back to her; 'Do not let your anger overtake you for anger will never save you from evil.'
Then Fireheart looked at Jako. He was valiantly keeping Claw at bay, letting her do what she thought best. All this took only a few seconds for Fire to think and understand. Then she pounced, dagger drawn and teeth bared she leapt upon her enemey.

Remeber that great ending? Its coming up really soon.
Fire and Jako had Claw pinned. He was beneath them and Jako’s sword and Fire’s dagger were poised to strike.
But Claw had one more trick to play before it was over.
“You will not kill me,” he said.
“Why shan’t I?” replied Fire dangerously.
“Because of who I am.”
“And who are you and why does it matter to us?” growled Jako.
“Because; I am your father, Fireheart and Jako.”
Fire’s eyes widened, “NO! It can’t be! You lie!” she cried.
“But I don’t,” said Claw rising up, an evil grin on his face, “Your sister for example, does she not look like me? Your mother, did she ever tell you who your father was? No? See; all evidence suggests I am not lying. Come with me, Fire, I will make you my heir, as I had intended to make that stupid cat Shady. Join me, we will rule all and conquer even Reandalawo!”
Fire’s response: “You are wrong! The White Cat is my father.” Then;“FOR SHADY! AND FOR THE GREAT WHITE CAT!!!!” and with that she plunged her sword just short of Tigerclaw’s heart. For somehow she could not run him through. He fell back with a glazed look in his eyes.

Fireheart fell, her little head bowed. Jako caught her and lowered her slowly to the ground.
"Oh what have I don now Jak?" she said sadly and softly.
"Our father! Who'd have known Fire? Only mama. It wasn't your fault."
"But you didn't have to do it Jak. I've never killed 'nybody before and the first creature I do kill is my own father! How could I live with that Jak? How?"
Jako said nothing. He pondered his sister's words for awhile then said, "He nearly killed us though, his own kits and he knew we were too. I wonder how it happened?"
The two sat with each other by their dead father's body for awhile before Fireheart remeber something else.
Shady.
"We gotta go see if Shady is O.K." she said softly, standing.
"Yeah."
The two twin kits walked over to where Shady lay. Deep marks were in her chest and she was not breathing when the kits approached.
"Oh Shady..." Fire said softly, then she cried. She cried for what she had done, for what had happened to her best friend, for everything that was still happening.
In a little while Mozart found them. She saw what had happened and wrapped her small paw's around Jako and Fire's unresponsive forms. The two seemed to be caught in a dream out of which they could not escape.
The others joined them. Ribbony, the LFF Catlition, Fire and Jako's siblings and Hope with her siblings. The two strange dogs were also with them.
Ribbony looked at Claw, "He used to be a good kit. Thats what my mother said. But he teased me and infuriated me. My mother told me that his parents had left him when he was just a tiny kit, letting his uncle raise him. I tried to befriend him but he never let me in." Ribbony sighed, "Poor Tiggy."
"He was our father." Jako said falteringly.
"He was our what?" squeaked Creamy.
"He was our father." repeated Fireheart softly.
Finally sleep took them.
Chapter twenty nine
The Greatest sacrifice
When Fire awoke she was not in Ventargo. She was somewhere... but where? Maybe this place had no time, maybe she was dead. Right then she felt she would welcome death after all that had happened to her.
A soft cry aroused her. Mozart stood nearby. Then one by one all of Fire's siblings appeared along with Ribbony.
"Hello weary travelers." said a sweet voice behind them.
"Sweet as the ripest cherry of spring...." whispered Ribbony, then he turned and stood gaping at a kind looking calico she-cat.
"Mama..." he whispered.
"Hullo Miss Cherry!" cried Mozart happily.
"Where are we, Miz Cherry?" asked Pumpkin.
"Look," Cherry pointed a colorful paw to where two figures stood.
Shady felt two presences near her. One she had sensed before and had a bad feeling about. But the other she felt was good.
Opening her eyes she tried to stand and found that she could stand.
“I must be dreamin’.” She muttered.
But then she saw a huge white creature. This must be the White Cat Fire had told her so much about. He did not seem to see her though, for his eyes were fixed on something else.
It was a huge tree, larger than any Shady had seen in Reandalawo. Its branches were crossed in the center of the trunk so it looked like a cross.
Shady also noticed something, or rather someone else. Claw stood nearby, frozen in place much like she was.
The White Cat walked over to the cross. Suddenly many evil creatures- rats, coyotes, wolves and the like- ran forward and bound him, bound him to the great tree. He allowed them to; they then stood up the tree and placed it in a large hole. The White Cat hung there and was tormented by the horrid creatures. They whipped him and beat him, they spat at him, threw things at him…
Then it came.
Neither Claw, nor Shady ever knew what it was afterwards, but a huge completely black creature came up toward the tree and the White Cat. It was as tall as the tree and had red eyes. It held a long dark knife. Then the thing did the worst of all thus far.
It raised the knife and before Shady or Claw could blink had thrust it into the White Cat’s heart.
“This is what I do for you all my kittens, but you needed to see the most.” Then the Great White Cat slumped down and was dead.
“No, no!” wailed Shady.
“But….” Even Claw seemed distressed.
Gradually the demons ran off with their leader and left the White Cat alone, still hanging there, with the two cats watching him.
“Should we try to get him down?” said Shady at length.
“I think we ought, it doesn’t look right with him just hanging there.” Answered Claw.
So Shady stood on Claw’s shoulders and could just reach the binds on the White Cat’s front paws. She cut them with her little claws, then cut the others. Tigerclaw caught the White Cat when he fell limply to the ground.
They both stared, as if expecting a miracle. But nothing happened. Shady cried many tears over the White Cat’s body and Tigerclaw sat next to her and the body as if pondering something from very long ago that he was trying so desperately to remember.
"Oh what have I don now Jak?" she said sadly and softly.
"Our father! Who'd have known Fire? Only mama. It wasn't your fault."
"But you didn't have to do it Jak. I've never killed 'nybody before and the first creature I do kill is my own father! How could I live with that Jak? How?"

Fire could take it no longer.
“Shady, it’s me! Fire!” cried the little orange cat running to her friend.
Shady didn't move. She stood stock still even when her little friend ran up and grabbed her paw.
Mozart shook her head, distressed, "How, what, why?" she stuttered.
Tansy tugged on her paw, "Mozart what wrong with Mister White Cat? Is he sweeping?"
"Yes Tansy, He is sleeping." Mozart said softly.
Ribbony seemed to have shrunk from the old tall proud warrior the kits knew to a small frightened kitten who hid in his mother's soft fur. The other little kittens sensing that the others were just as suprised and scared as they flocked to Cherry recognizing her as a mother.
Mozart felt a soft paw on her shoulder and turned to see Caspian standing there. She had not known he had come with them.
"Oh Mozart I-I-I don't know what to say." he bowed his head.
"Is there nothing we can do?" asked Tigerclaw.
"There is nothing." said Cherry, "He told me that you would come, that all of you would come but He did not say why. I saw the great battle in our home. He waited and helped, then carried that," she pointed to the cross-tree, "Here. He would not let me help Him. Then He told me to wait for you. The rest I we have seen. Why this is happening I do not know. We must have trust though that there is a reason for this.... what it is I do not know."
"But He is the White Cat, without Him what good can happen?" asked Caspian.
"He has a Father." replied Cherry, but said nothing more.
They waited for an uncountable time. Hours, days, months, years could have gone by in that time, or only minutes or seconds, none of them knew.
Finally Mozart stirred, "This is a sad place, a place of death, and it hangs on us like a fog. Let us leave for a little while."
"But we can't leave Him!" cried Shady.
"Only for a minute or two." said Mozart softly. Then they all started to walk away from that place.
They had gone no more than a yard when they heard a terrible noise.
Fireheart whipped around and saw that they great Tree had fallen and broken in two. The White Cat was nowhere to be seen.
(oh wow I just relized I never went to a new chapter, lol oh well)

Chapter thirty
The White Cat
The White Cat
“Where is He? What’s happening?!?” cried Jako.
Then a voice sounded nearby, where it came from they did not know, maybe it came from everywhere in the place.
Then the sight that they all wanted to see but could hardly believe appeared standing on a hill bathed in sunlight.
Hardly believing their eyes they stared in amazement.
Ribbony smiled and whispered something that they could not understand but sounded a little like "Kit".
For there on that hill bathed in sunlight and looking different and yet the same as He always had was the Great White Cat. He looked down at them and smiled. Then he started laughing; it was the most melodious and amazing noise any of them had ever heard and then they ran to Him and hugged and kissed Him, but nobody felt silly, only happy beyond words.
Then He brushed them off gently, His great tail twitching. Then he gave a cry that they did not understand and trotted off down the hill.
They followed Him but found it impossible to keep up. They ran after Him and He led them around, allowing them to chase Him. And He was laughing, always laughing. Wherever he led them sunlight lit up the place they had been in. It was a meadow filled with flowers and some trees. They darted around playing something like tag and hide and seek but no one ever knew which it was.
Finally He stopped. They all halted behind Him.
He was still smiling as He turned to them but His face was graver.
“I will now explain.” He said in a deep beautiful voice, “Fireheart and Jako, come here.” He commanded them.
The two stepped forward.
“As you have found you two are the Fire Kittens. It is a rare thing and only have I given two other cats than you two their powers. Of course the power you get comes from me and my Father- whom Cherry has mentioned- but it will seem to come from you.
“Now Tigerclaw and Shady. You two are changed?”
“Y-y-yes Sir.” Muttered Shady.
“As have I, Sir.” Added Tigerclaw.
“Yes, then you shall be given new names to show that you have changed. Tigerclaw from now on you shall be called Tigerheart. You are also the father of the Fire Kittens- Fireheart and Jako-, Creamy, Pumpkin and Tansy. And you young Shady shall be renamed Jade, for that is what you are. A Jade, for to give one’s life for another is something that few have the courage and love to the other to do. And as you have died for Fireheart I have died for everyone in your world and every other world.
“Now I will send you back to your world for a little while.”
“Oh must we go, Sir?” asked Fireheart.
“Yes little one, but not for long. You all have purposes still to fulfill for me in your world so you must return.”
“Even Shad-er- Jade?”
“Yes, Jade and Tigerheart will return with you.”
“Er, excuse me but this has been bothering me, Sir- what about my mother, Cherry?” asked Ribbony.
“You need not call me “Sir” Ribbony for it seems wrong after we have known each other so long,” replied the White Cat, “And Cherry will remain here, Ribbony, but you shall see her again, that I promise you.”
Then there was a flash. For a moment they saw the White Cat and Cherry smiling at them in the green meadow and then they saw stars and planets (one of which may have been our world even) then they were back in the dirty streets of Ventargo.

I don't think I'd want to go back. I always feel rather sorry for everyone who was raised from the dead; it must have been disappointing.
Yeah but then I'd never be able to write the 4th book! And you've got to remeber that the same thing happened to Mozart. She died and was raised fromt the dead and nobody felt sorry for her!

Oh and if they had stayed in Heaven then this next part would be meaningless.
The first thing that happened to them after that was when Frodo came and ran up to them, shouting and yelling at the top of his tiny lungs.
"They're here! They're here! THEY'RE HERE!!!"
He ran up to Ribbony and start tugging on his paw. Startled from his dreamlike stance Ribbony looked down at the kit and asked, "Whose here?"
"Come an' see, come an' see!" cried the kitten exuberantly.
Frodo led the group through the streets up to an awsome sight.
Alaya stood there glimmering in the sunshine, and next to here stood baby Aliee grinning playfully.
"We comma like F'odo tole us to." she explained.
Suddenly Fireheart remebered the specks she had seen before going into Snow Valley, that must have been the dragons! She realized.
