I'M SORRY! Prepare yourself, feels are coming.
Turns out nothing interesting happened the rest of the day. I talked with Misty for a while but that got boring, I could tell Misty was bored also. We decided to hang out with a few other cats and that got boring also. After a good night's sleep I woke up and stayed in my bed(just to let you know I didn't tell you about a lot of the days I've been here. It's been about a moon since I first came to Domites Yes, I know. I skipped telling you what 'fun' I had sitting around the shelter). To me it kind of looked like a bird's nest. Slowly I began to fall back asleep.
"Strider." a voice called, making me snap awake.
"Hullo?" I whispered. I still had trouble keeping my eyes open.
"Strider, wake the heck up." the voice called again. Only know did I hear the panic in the voice. I crawled out of my bed and stood up. Rush was staring at me, fear in her eyes. She motioned with her head for me to follow. I had to run to keep up with her. By the way, this shelter is really big. It could fit one hundred cats and still have lots of room. That might be wrong but you get the idea, it's a big place. Rush brought me outside to where all the other cats had gathered. The snow had melted quite a bit. The other cats seemed to form a circle around something. A few stepped out of my way when they saw me. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw him. Misty laid on the ground, his blood all around. I walked a bit closer to him and saw Night and Star sitting quietly. His blood was soaked into the snow.
"Strider, I'm so sorry." I heard Star say. "We…" her words were drowned out by the screaming in my head. My eyes burned hot and my legs felt weak. I thought I had forgotten what pain was, but seeing the dead body of Misty… I nudged Misty with my paw, he was ice cold.
"M...Misty?" I cried. "Wake up." The cat around me began to walk back towards the shelter.
"Strider." a voice said.
"Misty." I sobbed. I laid down and put my head on him. "DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!" I cried. "Don't leave me alone." It hurt so much. My whole body ached. I now know what dying feels like. Imagine, after living with your mother for so long and giving her all your love. Imagine that that mother, after raising you for years, left you. No, not left you. Imagine she attacks you. Leaving you injured beyond repair. Leaving you all alone in a forest of pain. Leaving you to die alone. I don't care if that didn't make sense. If you hadn't noticed the one who cared for me just died! I sat there outside crying for a long time. Star sat next to me in silence. There was no way Misty could still be alive. Those injuries could not be faked. I...I don't want to tell you about his injuries, but it was worse than when I killed that one cat. The sun was now directly overhead. It had been half a day full of crying. After I finished crying I sat up and looked towards the forest.
"These are wounds from a cat." I told Star.
"Strider, he's gone now. There's nothing you can do." Star said.
"LIKE HELL THERE ISN'T!" I yelled at her. I felt my eyes burn again. "We...we could still help him. We could find the one who did this." Star sighed and looked at me, it seemed like she was looking into my soul.
"We can't do a thing about his death." Star said. "but we can try to help stop this attacker."
"This isn't the first time?" I asked. If this has happened before then there is a chance it will happen again.
"My brother. My brother was the first victim." Star said.
"And you didn't even try to find this guy?" I snapped at her. She seemed shocked at my words.
"Of course we tried." she said. "We gave up when we let him go." she snapped back. "You should just let Mistypelt go!"
"I will drag his death with me wherever I go." I began. "I will never forget because when someone you care for dies and you could have done something to prevent it, you feel like hell." I snapped, almost about to cry again.
"There wasn't anything you could have done to stop him from dieing." Star said with a soft voice.
"Lies. That's all I hear. Lies." I said. "We could have stopped this."
"Sto-" Star didn't get the chance to continue what she was saying because I ran. I ran through the forest towards the place I knew I could find them. It was their fault. They killed Misty. I will make them pay...
AU
SO SORRY! This was a sad chapter. If you hate me for killing Misty then hate me. I hate me also. I wanted to let him live but that would have changed the whole story plot. Again, sorry if you liked Misty.
