Today's Chapter is going to be a bit short. The reason is because I'm including 2 short story featuring Duskpaw and Bramble's POV...Make sure to read it because it relates to the main story.:)
I stared up at Bramble in confusion... he wanted me to join his tribe? To me, this seemed sketchy and unrealistic. A random cat shows up giving me the best opportunity to escape my Clan?
"You're kidding, right? Me?" I exclaimed.
"You bet!" Bramble replied in a playful tone.
I have to admit, at that moment, I was so tempted to join him. For a long time, I wanted out of FalconClan. The Tribe of Rising Horizon sounded amazing as well...if what Bramble said was true, there were tasks for every cat. I wouldn't be that useless scrap of fur in the elder's den anymore.
But I can't forget about Duskpaw. He loved me! And I loved him! But to spend my life depressed and upset...
"Er- when do we leave?" I squeaked.
Bramble chuckled with a slight smile. "Right now."
"Well, I guess I'm in... let's go."
Now Bramble was the one with a surprised look on his face.
Even with the weird look on his face, he was still broad and handsome. His muscles rippled as he stood up to meet my gaze.
"Really? Wow, we've been asking so many cats and most of them rejected us," he muttered under his breath, "I'm warning you though, the life in the Tribe is probably harsher than your life right now."
I let a burst of laugher escape my lips. Harsher than my life? Heh!
This all felt like if nothing was actually happening; that I'm still in the elder's den, sleeping my fur off. But since I'm here, in life right now, I might as well give it a go. Surely this was the path StarClan wants me to go in...
Right?
Bonus Story: Duskpaw's POV-Unwise Thoughts pt.1
I guess I love her... I mean, she's one of the most prettiest apprentice I'd ever seen. With a black and white pelt, she really does stand out. Her eyes were shockingly amber, glistening every time I talked with her and with that, I knew she liked me back. Many times, I even saw the senior warriors eyeing her out.
I'm glad to have Minnowpaw; it boosts my self-confidence and it shows my worth. Other pretty she-cats would all come running to me when they see that I could get Minnowpaw to like me.
When I first started talking to her in the apprentice den about three moons into our training, she seemed okay. But she lacked something; she was too innocent. When I woke her up in the middle of the night and suggested a "walk" in the forest, she rolled her eyes, said that I was being foolish and then told me that nobody wants to go for a walk in the middle of the night.
I know that we were still apprentices and all that but Silverpaw went on the "walk" with me lots of times. If she can do it, why couldn't Minnowpaw?
Besides, Silverpaw doesn't meet my expectations. She doesn't have Minnowpaw's beautiful face. I'm never satisfied with her.
But getting something is better than getting nothing... don't you agree?
Bonus Story: Bramble's POV-Inner Beauty pt.1
Do you ever believe in 'Love at First Sight'?
Well, I didn't either, until I met her.
To start from the beginning, The Tribe of Endless Hunting gave me a gift. They said that it would be crucial for the life of a special cat later on. I'm still not quite sure what's it's for but this is what I've got: I can only see the beauty of things from the inside.
Lets take a tree for example. If I see a tree that's lived a good life, protecting and sheltering things. Then in my view, it would be glowing with satisfaction. But if I see a dog that is very sour, ungrateful, or kills...Then, in my eyes, it would look like scum.
When I first found Minnowpaw, her beauty was so deep and strong, I was scared out of my fur. I could tell she was puzzled at me being scared at first. As I got to know her, more and more beauty shone through and my heart melted away. I knew she would be the one.
But here's the thing: I am too old for her. She doesn't deserve me. Minnowpaw is, what, barely twelve moons old and I am already past my eighteenth moon. (Compare. New warrior - new apprentice)
But she was so warm and cheerful, even with her horrid past. I immediately fell for her.
I hope I could get her to join our Tribe.
