"Fuzzynose, are you going to stay with me are you going to go with him?" Mistycloud asked, her amber eyes glimmering in hope.
"I don't know." I mumbled, staring at my paws.
"You need to make a decision Fuzzynose. Will you stay with your Clan or will you stay with your sister?" Shadowstar asked. I looked from Mistycloud to Shadowstar, unsure what to do.
"I don't know. I wish we could all be together." I sighed.
"I will not abandon the Clan we built together." my father said sternly.
"It isn't fair, why must I choose between the two of you?" I grumbled.
"Because I won't live in the same clearing as him. We both want you stay with us but you have to choose one of us." Mistycloud insisted.
"But it's hard I can't choose between my sister and my father." I sighed. How can I choose? I don't want to hurt the other.
"Shouldn't it be easy? Fuzzynose, why would you want to stay with a cat as heartless as him?" Mistycloud scoffed in disgust.
"I'm not heartless." Shadowstar growled, unsheathing his claws.
"You sent kits to what you thought was their deaths!" Mistycloud spat, unsheathing her claws as our father had done.
"You don't understand." Shadowstar sighed, leaving his claws unsheathed.
"What's there to understand? You are heartless." Mistycloud growled.
"Mistycloud, you know nothing about me." Shadowstar hissed, taking a step closer to her.
"I know that your heart is colder than the ground in leaf-bare." she spat, taking a step closer. Their noses were almost touching.
"You don't understand what I've been though, who I've lost. You don't know a thing." Shadowstar said softly.
"I don't need to." she retorted, slashing his muzzle. I could see his blood trickling down his snout. He stood there, his face showed no emotion.
"Stop!" I heard a voice, I glanced around but no one was there. We were in the warriors den, while every other cat was in the clearing.
"What was that?" Mistycloud hissed, turning away from our father.
"You mustn't fight." said another voice. My heart almost stopped beating. I stared at the faint cats standing in front of me. I was much larger than the two cats, I had grown a lot. I couldn't do anything but stare, I was frozen. One of the cat's was just a clouded a memory but the other I remembered perfectly fine. I remembered cuddling closer to him when I was scared, how he had always protected me from the things I was afraid of. How proud I was to have him at my side when we became apprentices, and how glad I had been when I was fighting side-by-side with him in our first battle. I remember the agonizing pain I had felt when I last saw him, a limp ball of gray fur sprawled out on the ground with his fur matted in blood. I remember the times I had dreamed of the two f us playing in the meadow, or racing through the forest.
"Bluesky. Stormpaw." Mistycloud gasps.
