Chapter 2: The Painful Memories
Neo Clan
Redfang walked up to the entrance of the den, dawn appeared many moons before he awoke. He was late for training, but that didn't bother him. He wasn't bothered about much stuff, unless if it meant his fur getting torn off. He walked out of the den to see Lifepaw waiting anxiously for his mentor.
"Redfang, you finally woke up! Will you show me the borders today?!" Lifepaw squealed.
"Hush!" Redfang hissed. "You don't want to wake up anyone else, especially Blackrose, she has a mighty temper."
"Sorry, I'm just excited. I can't wait to be able to fight Trash Clan."
"Trust me you don't want to fight them. All they care about is territory and that's all."
"Did they kill anyone?" Lifepaw whispered.
"Yes, but only two, they are rogues because of what happened," Redfang explained walking to the edge of camp. "Are you coming? Or do you want to wait until the next moon?"
Lifepaw followed his mentor, wanting to get his taste for his first battle.
Dark Clan
Spiderfang was carrying a large snake from the woods, Gianttail right behind him.
"Spiderfang, we can't just survive on just snakes from that crater? Can we?" Gianttail meowed, licking his sore paws.
"We can only eat snakes for the moment, that is also why we are fighting these bratty clans, so we can get their pray!"
"Why don't we just ask them for prey, not steal it?" Gianttail whined.
"Do you not want revenge for that Stardust did to you those many moons ago?" Spiderfang hissed.
"Of course I want revenge, he killed my sister. It was so he could get closer to more power," Gianttail thought.
Five Years Ago
Angelclaw was rolling over StarDust, fighting.
"You bitch," Angelclaw hissed at Stardust.
"I'm not the one who killed the former deputy!"
Then Stardust rolled on top of Angelclaw, and ripping her stomach open.
"I… hope you… die…Stardust… I hope… you suf…fer," Angelclaw hissed at Stardust, before taking her last breath.
Gianttail was watching the whole scene, he charged at Stardust, fury filling his mind and heart.
"Damn you, Stardust!" Gianttail hissed at the raved and blonde tom.
Stardust and Gianttail rolled over and over many times before Stardust bit Gianttail on the neck. Gianttail broke free of the grip in time, and ran off.
"You will feel my wrath, Stardust, just remember I'll be coming for you!"
An Hour Later
"You wanted to speak to me, Greystar?" Stardust meowed.
"Yes, I just have to say… I'm going to have to let you go," Greystar whispered, but loud enough for Stardust to hear.
"I don't understand, what do you mean," Stardust question clearly confused on the whole thing.
"You have to leave the clan."
"Why, is it because of what happened to Angelclaw?"
"You killed her in cold blood, I can't accept that in a warrior," Greystar explained, glaring at the small tom.
"I understand. I'll leave as soon as I can."
"You may stay up until dawn, after that you have to leave. Redfang and Blackcrow will go with you."
"Thank-you, Greystar, I shall go inform the other two," Stardust whispered.
Stardust exited the den, sorrow swept over him like a storm in the spring. He walked over to Redfang and Blackcrow.
"Redfang, Blackcrow, I want to have a word with you away from the rest of the cats," Stardust requested.
"Sure, but after the evening patrol," Blackcrow said.
"No, it's too urgent for after that."
"What is it," Redfang asked.
"I was asked to leave the clan by Greystar, and he said you two should come with me," Stardust explained.
"I wanted to leave anyway," Redfang joking said, but looked at his friend, "you weren't kidding?"
"No, we have until Dawn, then we have to leave, no later than that, or we'll be treated as the enemy."
"I see, and you didn't tell Greystar that Angelclaw was the one who was siding against us," BlackCrow questioned.
"No."
"We should just go, no later, just now," Redfang requested of his two friends.
Stardust and Blackcrow agreed to the suggestion of their blonde friend. They went to the edge of camp after getting something to eat and they went on their way, never looking back to their old home.
Trash Clan
Stardust rushed up in a sitting position, looking at Redheart. Something was familiar, but what. He looked at her hind leg, and it looked extremely twisted, permanent damage.
"Stardust, what are you doing up?"
Stardust looked at his orange friend and sighed.
"I can't sleep," Stardust explained, not looking at his friend's face.
"I don't believe you, but fine. Are you thinking about what happened during all those moons ago?"
"Yes."
"It's not your fault, it was Angelclaw's. She betrayed the clan," Blackcrow explained.
"I'm not worried about that, it's that what happened with Gianttail, and with Redfang. They left without even consideration we would need them later on in life," Stardust concluded.
"Why don't we just rest until Redheart wakes, so we can get her to Trash Clan," Blackcrow suggested.
Stardust nodded, lying down once again, falling back to sleep.
Three Years Ago
Stardust came back with two voles and a mouse, carrying them by their tails, where Blackcrow was carrying a crow. Redfang didn't find anything.
"I'm sorry I'm not helpful," Redfang apologized, but didn't have any sorrow in his voice like a true apology would.
"You're lucky we brought enough fresh-kill for us to share, and savor for tomorrow,"Stardust exclaimed quietly.
"I'm glad you're okay, Stardust, I know this is hard for you to handle," Blackcrow whispered.
"I think we just need to find shelter before I start to worry about what happened to at Trash Clan."
"We need to keep up our strength though," Redfang meowed happily, nudging the vole over to Stardust.
"I can't eat, you two go ahead."
"We'll save you some!" Blackcrow bellowed.
"Thanks."
Stardust lay down, sleeping, but the kill he made kept playing over and over in his head, so he just left his eyes open, but kept lying there.
Three Moons Later
Stardust walked over to a gorge, careful about his footing.
"Stardust," Redfang bellowed.
Stardust tripped, almost losing his footing, but stayed on the very edge.
"Redfang, What the hell were you thinking about yelling at me like that?!"
"I'm sorry, but I got great news, there's a new clan we can join," Redfang exclaimed.
"Like I would go there, we don't need someone to tell us where to go, who to befriend, and to run our lives anymore. We were done with that after Trash Clan," Stardust hissed.
"Well… I'm going, I don't need you!"
"We're staying by the gorge!"
"You can, I'm not, if you want to kill me then fine, but only if you attack Neo Clan," Redfang explained, running off.
"You don't run off, unless you want death to take over you," Stardust thought to himself, running the rest of the gorge, over to Blackcrow.
