Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors.


"I don't care if you think I'm crazy," the black and white tom snarled. "It doesn't matter. I just need to tell my story before I die." For the tom was in terrible shape. As I approached him, he seemed to be in deep thought. Almost enough to forget I was there. Almost. What a word, especially for a medicine cat. I had almost saved that kit from the dreadful fate of deathberries. Sadness consumed me, as I thought more and more about the kit… May StarClan let him rest in peace.

Before I knew it, the black and white tom was right next to me. I almost unsheathed my claws of fright. To inform you, I am not easily frightened at all, but in my state of mind right now… I have a lot to think about with an extra life in my belly. My fur was standing up and I tried, in vain, to smoothen it. "My name is Cloudstorm. I belong to ShadowClan, just as you do. That does not matter though." he was in distress because of the open wound on his side. "Your health comes first foolish warrior. Sit down and let me bandage that wound." As I reached for the cobwebs his eyes softened and he mumbled a "Thank you."

The next day was surprising. Cloudstorm had forgotten he was in his own clan and ended up wounding some warriors. He was taken away then, and I don't know when I'll see him again. They are in my den now waiting to be treated. But I ignore their calls, for I cannot skip a meal. For my kits sake, I sent them back to their warrior's den with their open sores. No matter how terrible the pain is, nothing can compare to losing your own kits and seeing them being raised by another. Even if it is against StarClan's will.

That night I thought about how things truly were right now. Being wise never made it any easier for a mother. The sad truth is, the father can never visit, only on business. He cannot show any pride or joy around me. This happiness the other mothers speak of when having a kit, I feel immune to it. Isolated from the love I felt before. Still, something is making me hold on. As time passed, I fell asleep thinking how foolish youth can be.


A/N : These are short chapters I know. But it's so that I can get updates out faster than 7 paged chapters. ;)
