Silverstream's POV
I knew we couldn't do it. It was too complicated.
At first we met privately, but then Fireheart found out, and Mistyfoot, and Graypool.
Fireheart also started asking about Oakheart. Why?
Crookedstar, my father, saw Graystripe and I. As Graystripe left, he intervened and out came the yowling, the terrible yowling. He told me of Clan loyalty. He told me of the old tale of Ryewhisker of WindClan and Cloudberry of RiverClan. How Ryewhisker died because he didn't know whether to fight on the WindClan or RiverClan side. Crookedstar also then told me something. He told me he didn't want me to make the same mistake Oakheart did. I didn't get what he was talking about. Then I screamed some terrible, terrible things at him. Then I left. I never did apologize. My stupid, stupid mistake.
I wish I did.
I went to Graystripe and then the birthing. I knew I was dying. I could feel Willowbreeze, my mother, and Nightkit and Willowkit, my sisters, the ones who never lived. Poor Cinderpaw could do nothing about it. Fireheart stood there, desperately trying. My vision was fading. I told him to take care of my kits and I closed my eyes.
I saw my mother, my sisters, my grandfather, my grandmother, my uncle, s many more. What I never saw was Graystripe.
I watched Graypool die, murdered by Tigerstar. Poor Fireheart. Powerless to save her. Mother was so happy to be reunited with my aunt, her sister.
I watched Crookedstar cry. Graystripe joined Riverclan. My brave warrior. He abandoned Fireheart, Bluestar, his clan, for Featherkit and Stormkit. I never got to apologize to him. Crookedstar was terribly ill. It was killing him, and so Hailstar gathered me, Willowbreeze, Nightkit, Willowkit, Shellheart, Rainflower, and Oakheart, and we welcomed him over. I finally apologized, and he did too.
Graystripe went back to ThunderClan, which I was fine with. He found Millie, and I encouraged him to. I didn't care. What mattered was that he was happy.
Feathertail died, and Stormfur moved to the tribe with Brook. Huh. Feathertail would have moved to WindClan with Crowfeather, and Stormfur stayed with Brook. My aunt Bluefur also had half-clan kits, and so did Graystripe. Feathertail would have, and Stormfur had clan/tribe kits.
Millie almost died of greencough. She would have, if I didn't sustain her with a different. She know I help her, and she is most grateful. We have one thing in common; we both just want Graystripe to achieve happiness.
Poor Briarlight, almost killed by a falling tree. Graystripe was unhappy. As unhappy as when I died, or Millie almost died. But he recovered.
During the last battle, Leopardstar and I fought alongside Mistystar to fend off Dark Forest cats. I wished ThunderClan was next to RiverClan, so I could see Graystripe. But my happiness doesn't matter.
Only Graystripe's.
