Stormfur Speaks: Should I Go?
I look at the sky. The scent of the mountains flood around me. My mind is on one thing. Brook. If I stay here, would the Tribe accept me? My sister did die for this Tribe.
Brook is beautiful. The most beautiful creature I have ever seen. Her amber eyes shine like the sun when she`s happy. I love her. End of story. No buts or anything else.
Maybe if I ask, she would come with Riverclan. No, she would be lost. The mountains are her home, plus Riverclan would never accept her like the Tribe would accept me. It was all different. I look again to the stars. What should I do? I thought. I don't have anyone in Riverclan or any other clan. Feathertail is dead, so is my mother. I never knew her. Mistyfoot always said that she was the best. My mentor was killed by Tigerstar. My dad was is Thunderclan, and then he was taken by twolegs.
"Stormfur?" Brook asked, coming up from behind.
"Yes?" I respond. I turned around. She looked gorgeous in the moonlight.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked. I blinked. I didn't know how to answer.
"My dad, my sister, my mother," I reasoned, avoiding her gaze.
"What are they like?" she asked. I didn't have the heart to tell her they were all dead, or gone.
"My mother died giving birth to me and you knew my sister. My dad, was always strong and proud. Love got in the way in of being loyalty. Some things are bigger than the Warrior Code you know. For us at least," I finished my thought. I felt tears coming from my eyes. I turned away so Brook wouldn't see me cry. Anyone I could call family was gone. Graystripe, Feathertail, Silverstream, Stonefur. All gone, never to be seen again. I wish I could see them again. "Brook?" I asked.
"What?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.
"If I stayed here, with the Tribe, would they except me?" I asked her. She stayed silent for a moment.
"I don't really know. We`ve never had an outsider want to join out Tribe. I guess if you did stay you would be treated like an outsider," She answered. I know how it feels to be not wanted or treated like an outsider. Riverclan always treated me like that. All because I am half clan. It drove me insane. Just because I`m half clan I automatically become a traitor? It doesn't seem fair. Oh coarse life isn't normally fair. It normally sucks, for some cat at least.
"I want to stay," I said. I don't know why I said it. That feeling in my gut told me to stay and I listened.
Brook just blinked. "Can I be alone for a little?" I asked. I wanted to think clearly. I did that best alone.
Brook nodded and padded away.
I looked up at the sky. The clouds made a shape of two cats. They looked the same, only one was smaller. Is this a bad choice or a good one? I thought. I couldn't tell if the cats in the clouds appearing were a good sign or a bad one.
Well I guess I`ll find out. I thought as I got up and headed back towards the cave, dawn beginning to crack behind me.
