Here you go everyone! New chapter, also called Spottedleaf's Truth ;)
Chapter 6
"Come here, little one."
Stormpaw heard a soft, sweet voice mew. She got to her paws seeing a strange territory, with many unknown cats. "Huh? Where am I? Where's ThunderClan?"
Stormpaw looked around. A beautiful turquoise lake was full of fat fish, and she could hear the soft patter of many prey. There were many cats, unfamiliar to her.
She walked up to a beautiful, sweet-smelling, tortoiseshell who seemed to have mewed. "Where am I?"
"You are in StarClan my young apprentice."
"StarClan?" Stormpaw's mew was mystified. She suddenly noticed the gleam in the she-cat's pelt. In the other unknown cats too. "Who are you? Why do you look so familiar?"
The she-cat dipped her head. "I am Spottedleaf. I am your mother's mother's mother's mother. Your kin." She saw Spottedleaf paw twitch like Spottedbranch used to do when she was uncomfortable.
"I didn't know that. The only descendant I knew of was Flowershell, my mother's mother." She sized Spottedleaf up to see if she looked like she was lying, but only the paw twitch said otherwise. "You do look like Spottedbranch. Your eyes look the same shade. But why are you uncomfortable?"
Spottedleaf sighed. "I was a medicine cat. We weren't supposed to have kits. But then I met Birchcloud. He… he was a medicine cat,with ginger markings and green eyes. I didn't know him until a trip to the Moonstone when we were both just 'paws. We were accepted fully the same day." The tortoiseshell smiled, lost in memory. "He gave up his position when we fell in love. We wanted to leave. And I was going to… but then my mentor, Greenclaw died." Her smile dissipated. "I couldn't leave my Clan medicine-cat-less. We still met in secret." She scraped her claws in the luscious grass. "I didn't know I was bearing his kits… until…" Spottedleaf's mew trailed off. "Until what?" Stormpaw meowed, not sure if she should believe the former medicine-cat's story.
"Redtail noticed how big my stomach had swelled. He said teasingly 'How much fresh-kill have you been eating sister?', then I realized what happened. That night I told Birchcloud what happened. He told me to pretend I had gotten lost and stay in a cave outside of WindClan's border. He wanted to watch me until the kits were born. He came and checked on me every night, with herbs, fresh-kill and moss." Spottedleaf stopped and caught her breath. "Then one night the kits came. Birchcloud got herbs from WindClan's medicine cat, who he told, for he trusted him. There was two: A tom, Beekit, and a she-cat Pinekit. Birchcloud took them to WindClan, saying he found them, abandonded. They grew into strong warriors." Spottedleaf's mew broke off into wishful thinking, then her mew was solem. "Then one night I went to visit Birchcloud. Beestripe and Pineheart were there, as they knew that I was their mother. They told me that Birchcloud was attacked by a rabid dog and was killed."
Spottedleaf's eyes shimmered with tears. "I still see him sometimes in StarClan. You might of heard of my 'affair' with Firestar, which was not true. He just reminded me so much of Birchcloud."
"Anyways, you should go back to your Clan. Your family is worried."
"Goodbye, Stormpaw."
And she faded into darkness once again.
