We were in love once. It didn't start like this, I promise. I'm not a mouse-brain. Okay. Maybe I'm not quite right in the head, but would you be? After all that's happened? Perhaps you haven't heard the full story. The real story. My name is Islanddance, born a rouge but now I stay in RiverClan. For how long, I couldn't tell you. It won't be for much longer I don't think...there are too many bad memories here, but where will I go? Maybe...ThunderClan. My savior is there, he doesn't know it, but he's my hero. I hope he hears my story, he'll help me if he does. He's a good cat, nothing like his brother. Starting to get the picture now?
It started with my first love, Smoky, the barn cat. I had just wandered into the area and he let me stay with him, Daisy, and Floss. He always loved Floss the most though, Daisy and I agree on this. Daisy...I miss her, but I hear she's in ThunderClan now. Another reason to go. You see, I was supposed to have Smoky's kits, but they were born dead. It was horrible. The Twolegs...they captured me afterwards, brought me to the Cutter, the Cutter didn't well, cut anything, but it changed me. Losing my kits, being taken by Twolegs, I ran away. I didn't go back to the barn. I found a little island in the middle of a stream. Island, like me. That's why I stayed there. I figured it would be good luck.
It sure seemed like it. The moment I saw those ice blue eyes, I knew that I had to become a Clan cat. He helped me. I fell for him, and I think he fell for me too. It changed too quickly though. Far too quickly.
