Preface
I am the last of them; the last of the diseased. My entire Clan was wiped out by this plague that struck us during newleaf. After my Clan suffered and died, the sickness spread like wild fire.
It was like rabies, but then again, completely different. It was strange. Cats would start acting strange—they'd get a weird look in their eyes, start losing weight like crazy, or get almost deformed. Then their mind would go insane; they would begin to do things that cats just wouldn't do, like go swimming (accept for the RiverClan cats, who would climb trees in this case), or bite and claw themselves rather than the enemy.
After the insanity, was when things got really bad. They began foaming at the mouth, attacking everyone and everything in sight, and then, if another cat didn't kill them, blood would begin to come out every opening—ears, eyes, nose, mouth, you name it.
My entire Clan; my entire family; my mate, my kits, my mother, my father, my sisters, my brothers… all had succumbed to the devastating effects of the disease. I was the only one who was strong enough to resist it. I didn't know how or why, all I knew was that StarClan was watching over me.
The other Clans knew of it, and they had time to prepare, ShadowClan didn't. ShadowClan didn't stand a chance. Even though the other Clans had time, they didn't stand a chance either. It was unstoppable, but the others refused to accept the inevitable. They all tried to fight it, but it took so many.
A few other strong ones survived, but they were scarce. I will never forget that dark time. I will never forget the day the plague that marked the end of the Clans began. I will never forget my family died. I will never forget that survived.
It is when one loses one's family that they begin to realize that it can be more painful to live than to die. When I was young, death was something no one spoke or thought of. We seemed to ignore that inevitable and live life to its fullest. That was ShadowClan, but after the plague… I viewed death only as a release, something that would come to me one day in the form of a blessing. I hope that when I die, and will be reunited with my family. I should have died with my Clan. It should have been me to die rather than my brave, strong brother and his mate and young kits. It should have been me rather than my sister, who was Clan deputy. It should have… it should have… should, but not.
My name is Wolfstorm, and this is the story of the plague.
A/N: This is just the first Chapter. I hope you enjoy! :D
