I know this chapter is really crappy so please don't hate me! I just needed to move the story along because its almost time for the big battle!
Family
Me, Ivypool, and Firestar had talked a long time after Lionblaze had left with the others. It had been sunset before we finished. Ivypool left first but I stayed behind, tonight was the night the tree would find the fourth.
"Firestar?" I said quietly still unsure if I should do this. I sat down in front of the entrance to the den.
"Yes Chillypaw?" Firestar said walking over to where I was and sitting down next to me. I gave a big sigh.
"I'm not who you think I am. I'm more than just a cat, I don't belong here in the forest with you and the Clans." I whispered. Firestar was silent waiting for me to continue.
"I know that you have every right not to want me to be in Thunderclan anymore but.. I was a hum- Twoleg before I came to be a warrior, actually I didn't really 'come' more or less I was given the gift to be a warrior." I cringed waiting for Firestar to snarled at me to get out like what Lionblaze did. It never came, I slowly looked up at Firestar who was looking back at me intently.
"I knew you were different the moment you stepped into our camp. I am glad that you trust me enough to tell me this, now, does anyone else know?" He asked me so that it sounded like he was asking me to go on a dawn patrol. I was too shocked to say anything at first but I soon got my voice back.
"What! You,but, I-I, I just told you I was a two leg! and you're not upset? Who are you and what have you done to the real Firestar?" I somewhat yelled. Firestar gave a smile, well as much of a smile as a cat could.
"I am the real Firestar, but really Chillypaw, who else knows? This is very important."
"I told the three but no one else but you." Firestar gave a sigh of relief and turned back to the opening of the den to look out onto the camp. After a moment he spoke,
"Chillypaw," He started, "I can only imagine how this must be for you. You are young in this life and you must miss your family being torn from them how you were, with no warning and no choice." When he said that I was shocked but then shame filled me. My family. I had not given them a second thought since becoming a warrior, how could I not have remembered them? I felt tears prick the corners of my eyes as I fought to keep them from spilling. Firestar placed his tail on my shoulders.
"I'm sorry Chillypaw, I didn't mean to upset you." I shook my head and got my feelings under control.
"No, its ok. I just-" I shook my head again and stood up, tonight was too important for Firestar to be up.
"Look, you need to sleep because something big will happen to you, and I need to get to the Dark Forest anyway." I left and bounded down the rocks and made my way over to my nest. I curled up and closed my eyes but a thought kept bothering me.
What must my family be thinking?
I had been away for about a month. Had they thought I ran away or was kidnapped or even dead somewhere? Just thinking about it made me sick. But I need to fall asleep, tomorrow was a big day. Brightheart would have her kits and the leaders would meet to finally find out about the Dark Forest.
I shut my eyes and soon reopened them to the sound of cats shrieking into the night.
It sucked I know! Pleasedontmurderme!
