Chapter 1:
Flashback: Around two moons before Duskpelt's Banishment
On top of a cliff that overlooked the four territories surrounding the lake, sat a dark grey tom, silhouetted against the moon. He looked out over the water, his strangely coloured eyes narrowed in interest. His gaze then tracked upwards towards the sky which was littered with stars.
Behind him, approached a slightly lighter furred she-cat of similar height. Her eyes were a fiery amber that almost seemed to glow in the darkness.
"What are you doing?" She asked in a sharp tone.
The tom didn't reply but did send a quick glare at the she-cat.
She sighed overdramatically and clawed the ground lightly, sitting down next to him.
"You need to get your head out the clouds," she warned.
The tom flicked an ear, "what do you mean?"
"I mean," she began, "you don't actually believe in those mouse-brained stories that mother told us when we were kits, do you?"
"They weren't stories," he hissed half heartedly.
"So you believe that all dead cats live in the stars and watch over us?" she snorted before letting out a long sigh and letting her shoulder sag a bit.
"Well where else would we go when we die?" The dark grey tom flattened his long ears, "it makes more sense than just vanishing."
"If cats could watch over us when we die then don't you think mother would've tried to stop us from doing what we did?"
The tom didn't reply.
"Look," she elongated an exhale, "you act like you regret what we did and then pray to your 'star cats' like you want forgiveness, if they didn't like what you were doing then why didn't they stop you?"
He didn't say anything.
The amber eyed she-cat let out a short huff of annoyance and looked at him before following the direction that his oddly coloured eyes were looking.
"The clans?" She questioned, "what's so interesting about them? Didn't mother say that they believe in the Star Cats too?"
"She did," he answered shortly, "they… interest me."
"There just groups of cats living by a lake that fight," she dismissively flicked an ear, "not so different from father's lot."
"We could join them," he pointed out, "maybe it would be better to live in a group…"
"Go ahead," she said, "I won't be joining you."
"Why? You think that you're better than them?"
"No, I don't think that I'm better than them, I know that I'm better than them!"
The tom let out a snort of what sounded like laughter but didn't say anything else.
"They kill Cursed cats," She turned to him, "that's what I heard… Why would you want to join them?"
"I could show them other wise," he looked up, slightly more keen than before, "I could show them that a Powered cat is more useful than a normal one."
"You sound like father." She remarked.
He shuddered, "I'd do it in a better way."
"How can you?"
"Just let me try," he sounded pained, "I just want to prove myself to someone."
She suddenly snapped, "you have me!"
He swiveled away from her, "but you don't care!"
She wrinkled her nose, "you spend too much time regretting than thinking of the benefits! Get over yourself!"
He suddenly got to his paws and skidded down the cliff, not looking back.
She froze, "you're going."
"You obviously are too busy murdering cats to care."
She wanted to send back a biting remark but bit back her tongue.
"Ace!" She called after him after a moment's silence, "stay safe!"
He glanced up at her, looking at his sister through violet eyes.
"I will, Amber, I promise."
A/N: Whoops! Haha! I wrote this all in one day, I'm proud of myself. This is just a quick chapter to get us back into the mix, but I hope it's good enough!
