Part two yay!
Don't worry about my part one crazyness. I promise I'm not mental.
Okay so there is going to be some crazy stuff here too. (I'm sorry)
I hope everyone in the south has a good snow day. (Or half day like I have)
Thorn hides herself in some heather so in case she gets followed she won't be so visible. Three cats find her hiding spot, but at least they are her family.
"Wow Thorn I can't believe you just did that. You saved Stonepaw and anyone else who might have been killed by Hawkstar later on." Says Mistyfur.
"But I still killed a cat. Something like that's unforgiveable." Says Thorn.
"You killed an evil cat who was insane. You killed him for the benefit of the clan."
"But Hawkstar still had followers and I can never go back to Marshclan. I'll be killed and you might too."
"Okay, then what should we do?"
"We should become loners and stay away from the clans. We can start new lives."
"But where?" Asks her father, Stormcloud.
"How about the northern caverns?" Snowpelt suggests.
The four cats journey to the northern caverns where they will live from now on. That is where the rogues and Darkstorm currently are.
"Why do we have to live here? It's damp and gross and I don't like it." Says Mistyfur.
"Oh just shut up. Would you rather go back to Marshclan?" Says Thorn.
"Yes actually. I hate it here."
"Then why don't you go do that!"
"Stop it you two! This is no time for fighting." Hisses Stormcloud.
Little does the family know that another cat is living near there. His name is Talon and he's a loner as well.
Talon catches the scent of the newcomers and goes down to meet them.
"Hello there." He says. The smell of fear enters his nostrils possibly out of surprise.
"W-Who are you?" Asks Snowpelt who stands between the newcomer and her kits.
"Talon. I'm a loner and I live here. Who are you?"
"Well I'm Snowpelt and my two kits are Mistyfur and Thorn. My mate is Stormcloud." She nods to each cat when saying their name.
"We are loners too. We had to run away from our old clan because We weren't able to stay there anymore. I did something bad and then we had to run away so that we wouldn't be killed." Thorn says.
"Oh. Well you can stay here now. Follow me." Says Talon.
The family is unsure of this, but the follow nevertheless. Talon leads them to some caves about midway up a mountain that have a great view of the clans. He shows them the biggest cavern where they could stay.
"Wow. Thank you!" Says Thorn who is actually grateful for the tom's hospitality.
After a few minutes the cats get hungry and decide to go hunting. Talon then warns them of a fox in the area but they still hunt because they need food.
They split off to other areas and whenever they catch something they bring it to the base of the mountain. They continue the routine day after day as clan life is the only thing they know. Every now and then they begin to patrol the border on accident out of habit.
Then one peaceful day about a half moon after they left, a scream pierces the quietness. While hunting, Thorn races over to the origin of the screams. On the ground she sees her sister dead on the ground and her parents fighting not one, but two foxes. Where her father's left eye should have been there was a hole with scarlet sticky blood coming out of it. Her mother's hind leg was torn off. Out of anger Thorn joins them in fighting the foxes. No one could sneak up on her family like that.
No one.
As she is fighting she realizes the effort is futile. Her sister was already dead and her parents would soon follow suit. Just when she thinks it was the end, she is thrown to the side and gets the wind knocked out of her. Before she can process what she is seeing she blacks out.
The gray she cat wakes up in a cave. She was alive! But she can't be sure if anyone else in her family is.
"Finally you're awake. You've been out since sunhigh." Says Talon.
"Wh-What happened?" Says Thorn sleepily.
"You were fighting the foxes and I had to save you. You were loosing a lot of blood. Then I got a medicine cat to treat your wounds."
"What happened to my parents? Are they okay?"
Talon shakes his head. Tears fall from Thorn's eyes. She had lost so much in such a short time.
Nevertheless, Thorn would have to be able to stand her ground if Marsclan cats ever find the two of them.
She couldn't just stand as a defenseless loner. Talon feels the same way.
They have gone rogue.
