Heartbroken

by EchoesOfTheNight

Cinder has always lived as her sister's shadow, never having real friends or anyone who cares about her. Her own mother chose the worst duty for her in the band, and for moons she feels like she has nothing... until she finds love. But with a mean sister, a cold mother, and heartless friends, what she thinks may be a turning point for her may make her life ever worse than before.

Anyway, you may be confused with the allegiances, so let me explain everything to you

The Band of Storms is a group of cats based off of the clans. They have a large territory that is halfway under trees, and halfway out in the open

There are two leaders, each named Sky at the end after the cats of the Band of Skies (Their ancestors)

There are two proxies, one for each leader, who are next to be leader

There is a medic and a novice chosen by Band of Skies

There are protectors, who have full length names and preform specific duties. Duties include: Hunting (Finding prey), Fighting (Fighting off strangers and enemies), Guarding (Watching the camp and taking out patrols to search the territory), Exploring (To find any new landmarks worth knowing), and Gathering (Find materials such as moss and herbs, while also cleaning the camp out)

Novices are cats in training to become protectors; they must be at least 7 moons

Once 4 moons, kits leave the nursery to become a junior novice, who train only in designated areas near the camp for safety

A cat's duty is selected by their parents

Mothers may perform their duties, but only between sunhigh and sunset, but not if they have been expecting for half a moon or longer

Rules of the Band:
1. Follow the orders of any cat higher than you, no exceptions

2. Murder is not permitted within the band, but trespassers and enemies can be killed clean and painlessly

3. Never leave the territory without permission

4. A cat may only have one mate

5. Stick to your own duty, unless in dire emergences

The consequences for breaking the rules in order are…

First rule break: Spend all day cleaning

Second rule break: Stuck at camp for half a moon

Third rule break: Swear an oath in front of whole band that you will stay loyal

Fourth rule break: Treated as a prisoner for a moon

Fifth rule break: Killed or exiled, their personal choice

I hope you like my idea! :)
