I'm Not Like You
"Lionblaze!" Brambleclaw called. "You must go on the dawn patrol with Brackenfur, Mousewhisker, and Toadpaw." Lionblaze looked up from where he sat with Jayfeather. "So you best get some sleep now."
"All right." He turned back to his only sibling. "Goodnight, Jayfeather." he meowed.
Lionblaze padded into the warriors den. It was empty except for Mousewhisker. He padded into his nest and lay down, but he knew that he would not be able to go to sleep. Ever since Hollyleaf had died, his dreams of terror had worsened. But at last his eyes drooped and he fell asleep.
Lionblaze padded along a ridge of mountains. Power rippled through his shoulders. Then fur flashed behind him.
"Who's there?" he snarled into the darkness. He was powerful. He could fight. Tabby and white fur flashed in the dark again. Sol! With a snarl, Lionblaze leaped and grabbed Sol in his claws, ripping his flesh.
Suddenly he slipped on the bloody ground. Where had all the blood come from? It was flowing down the mountains, lapping at Lionblaze's paws. He turned with a gasp of horror to see the broken body of Heathertail beneath him, not Sol.
She was mauled far worse than he had see her before, and he took a step back, only to slip closer to the edge of the cliff. Then a husky voice sounded behind him. "See, this is what you wanted!"
"No!" Lionblaze choked, swallowing the bile that rose in his throat. "No!"
"You cannot fight it." Tigerstar snarled. "You are just like me!"
Panting, Lionblaze opened his eyes. He could still imagine the blood soaking his fur. Shakily, he padded out of the warriors' den. The camp was peaceful. Jayfeather was returning with herbs, and Dovekit and Ivykit played outside. He tensed.
"I have real power. I am not a fake. And I have a heart." he watched Dovekit bowl Ivykit over, squealing with laughter as Whitewing looked on. "I'm not like you."
