A.N- Hey I'm going to post two chapters again today because I might not get a chance to update within the next two weeks. School gets out on the seventeenth, so during the summer I should post a lot more chapters in a timely manner. In the next week I have to get ready for finals, so I might be able to slide in a chapter.
It was silent after she said that. When she looked up at us she had regret written in her eyes, but I didn't care what she felt. It might seem cruel to be acting like this, but she should have told us from the start. I wanted her to tell us, but then again I also didn't. "I... I assume you know who he is," she meowed.
"We have a guess," I said. Only I don't know if it is him. It could be any Shadowclan cat, but what about Rockstar and those two other cats at the border? She never said we met him, so even at the gathering he might not have been there.
She gave a sigh of sorrow. "When I first got pregnant with you kits... your father wanted me to join his clan," she meowed.
"But you obviously didn't," Lichenpaw meowed. "That couldn't have sat well with him at all," she meowed. The others nodded in agreement. I gave a single nod, for she was right whoever our father is would have been mad. Mom nodded her head.
"You're right," she meowed. "He didn't," she whispered. "I told him I was loyal to Riverclan even though we broke the warrior code," she meowed. While she did break the code I would be lying if I said I wasn't proud of her. "While that made him made he was happy I was a loyal cat,... but then he grew depressed," she meowed. "He knew he wasn't going to be able to raise our kits, so once you were born I was lucky enough to get a chance to sneak you out," she meowed.
"So then we did get to meet him," Gravelpaw said. I... was shocked. The way she described him in her stories made us think we never met him. "Then why don't we remember him!" he snapped. I gave him a bland look.
"We were too young to remember him," I said. I looked back at Skullwhisper. "That means it would have been a day at least after we were born," I said in which she nodded.
"He was glad he got to meet you kits at least once. The last time I ever met with your father was when we made the deal," she meowed. "He said Riverclan has been crossing the border, and I didn't lie about it. A few of the younger warriors were crossing the borders then lying to Mistystar about it, so your father told me something... chilling," she meowed. "He said that Shadowclan was going to attack Riverclan, and he wanted to warn me about it, so I... I made a deal with him," she cried.
"What kind of deal?" Lionpaw asked. I felt my fur start to rise with anger. Just what kind of deal is this?
"He told me that he always wanted a mate and kits, and I knew I was taking it away from him," she sobbed. "He w wanted to have kits he could be proud of, so I told him if he didn't attack Riverclan I would give him his chance," she cried. I suddenly felt lost. She gave us away didn't she? Abandoned by two mothers... why is this happening? I felt my ears droop, and I back away slightly. "I said if he didn't send Shadowclan to attack... t then he could have three of you," She wailed.
"So Robinpaw you were right,"Stonepaw said. "Rockstar is our father," he said. I didn't hear him, nor did I care at the moment. I felt a growl leave my throat, and I stood up and let out a hiss.
"You were going to make us choose between who stays and goes!" I hiss. I said this loudly, and I knew the rest of our clan could hear us. "Didn't you think about how we felt, or how we will fell once we were in separate clans, or how about when we have to go into battle with one another!" I hissed. With every word I said it looked like I was breaking her. "Tell me this what would happen if we don't agree to this?" I asked even though I knew the answer.
"He will take Shadowclan and attack without mercy," she said. My tail was lashing wildly while I hissed in anger. I wasn't going to talk to her again, so I turned around and walked to the apprentice's den.
"Don't bother with her guys," I spat. "As much as I hate her we will have to decide on who stayed and who goes," I hissed. I heard the footsteps of them come along with me, and I could hear the wails of our mother behind us. I walked to my nest in the back and tried to sleep.
I didn't know what to feel anymore. All I feel is my heard shattering, but why is it shattering? I guess it's because of the loss of both my mothers. Well I guess this is why Rockstar gave me the fresh kill earlier, but I wish he could have told me. All I know is me and the others are going to have a ball talking about this tomorrow. I closed my eyes and tried to let sleep take over.
I groggily opened my eyes noticing that I was in a strange place. It was another dream about the fire only this time it was like I was watching a memory or something. I saw two cats struggling in a fire, but it looked like one of them was already dead. I felt a presence next to me, and I saw a cat with stars in his pelt. He looked like the dead cat in the fire.
"Um... I don't know if you remember me," he said. I snorted and shook my head. "I... this is us down there, but I think you already know that part," he chuckled nervously.
"This is the fire of Thunderclan, and I know that two apprenticed died I was one of them," I said calmly. He nodded.
"Well... my names Eaglepaw," he said. "I was one of your brothers in your previous life," he meowed. I stared at him and sighed.
"Though I didn't remember your name I know that you're my old brother," I said. I watched the black cat collapse, and I saw her hide her head under her brother. "Tell me something I don't know!" I snapped. I turned back to him and noticed his ears droop.
"I looked for you once I died," he said. "I met my other clan mates who died, but you never showed up, but then I found you here in Riverclan," he mewed. "I heard what you said when you died, but do you remember?" he asked. I said something... what did I say? I looked at him expectantly. "You want revenge on Thunderclan for killing us," he said. "I want it to, and trust me I know it's weird for a medicine cat to say that. I left Starclan for a while, for I wanted to stay with you... to remind you of your promise," he said. So this is why I had such a hatred for Thunderclan.
"Don't worry," I said coldly. "I'll get my revenge," I said. I felt him sigh in relief. "Hey Eaglepaw?" I asked. "Can you tell me why my second life is so messed up?" I asked. "Or at least tell me why I'm on this path?" I asked.
"Hawk- I I mean Robinpaw," he stuttered. "All I can tell you is this is all meant to be," he said. "Though your mother Skullwhisper... I don't like her," He grumbled. I chuckled coldly.
"That makes two of us," I spat. I guess this is nice being able to talk with my brother, but I knew it would end soon and I would have to be stuck in my other body. "One last thing Eaglepaw," I said. "Do you know who's going to Shadowclan?" I asked. I looked back to him seeing him fading away. I could make out a nod before he was completely gone. I could feel my self about to wake up as well, but I really don't want to.
I opened my eyes slowly and blinked the seep away. I felt my nest under me, and I knew I wasn't in a dream anymore. At least I know what I need to look forward to in the future now I have something to fight for, but the only problem is that I have my older siblings to look out for. In an instant I knew at least which two of us would be going to Shadowclan.
Riverclan doesn't share a border with Thunderclan, so revenge would be hard for me to accomplish. I never felt any loyalty to Riverclan in the first place, in fact the only thing I enjoy about it is swimming. I knew if I was going Stonepaw would come with me, for I was his favorite (even though he will never admit it.) What I don't know is who else would come with me. Lichenpaw won't go I know that much, but I will miss her once I am in Shadowclan. It's either Lionpaw or Gravelpaw, but I know how painful it will be for them to choose.
It was still early, so we won't have to worry about training until later. I nudged their shoulder until they woke up, and I made sure they kept their mouth shut.
"Meet me behind the elder's den," I whispered to them. Once I was sure they all were going to come I diapered from the den.
