A/N: I was looking at the reviews and some people have been wanting to know a bit more about Stormytail's past, well, in this chapter, she will recall memories from when she was a kit that has been haunting her ever since.
chapter 3: Stormytail's night
Stormytail lied down on the hard stone of a cave once again, after teaching Randal the basics of fighting, at least now, she didn't have to defend him every time a dangerous cat arrived during their journey. She closed her eyes and let herself drift to sleep.
She was smaller in her dream, smaller than she is now. She looked at herself. she was in memory. The same memory that she couldn't stand one bit, but had to witness it almost every time she tried to sleep.
She looked around and saw a bigger cat she had the same fur coat as she has and she was grooming her siblings. Stormytail can't remember their names, but seeing them in her dreams brings her comfort, like when she sees her mother.
"M-mother..." Stormytail stuttered than she realized that she was crying.
She looked around for her father then remembered that he died long before she was even born. Stormytail remembers hearing her mother tell them stories about him and how he died protecting her from a fox. But, she saw the same thing. A brown tabby tom looming over them with icy blue eyes. He was the one who killed them.
He had two cats with him, one of them had a blue-gray coat, while the other was a gray and white tabby.
"Looks like that loner is still here. And we just got rid of that kittypet. I'll take care of these ones. Bluefur, I know that you are too soft to let them die, so you should probably leave this one toTigerpaw and me." The gray and white tabby said, walking towards them.
Mother was protecting us, standing over us.
"You three, run! Get out of here!" Stormytail's mother yelled before Tigerpaw jumped on her, slashing at her throat. Stormytail was able to run away, without looking back, tears streaming through her eyes.
When Stormytail was a safe distance away, she could still hear the screams and hisses coming from her mother. S he tasted the air and they weren't looking for her. They must have still been fighting.
Until there was silence. Stormytail could no longer hear the fighting cats but could hear them stalking through the forest. They were looking for them. Stormytail had to say put. She was keeping her ears up, as she heard the cries of her dying littermates.
She closed her eyes, hoping that it would all be over soon. And it was. The evil cats had not found her and she was the last survivor of her family. She ran out of her hiding spot and straight to where she ran from. There, she found her mother, still trying her best to stay alive.
She saw Stormytail coming and cried out for her to come.
"Listen to me, Stormytail..." Stormytail's mother said "Never trust clan cats. Stay away from them." She said, before going limp in a puddle of blood.
Stormytail, still crying ran away as ar as she could, until she collapsed and laid on the ground, crying until she drifted off into a deep sleep.
Finally, she woke up, tears streaming from her eyes. She looked around, only to see darkness and Randal sleeping next to her. She quietly stood up and walked out of the cave.
"Oh, mother. You always tried to protect me. I need your guidance for this journey. I know you will always be with me. I just wish I could see you again" Stormytail said, looking up towards the stars.
A/N: Okay, writing this chapter actually made me cry for the entire time. I'm sorry that this chapter is a bit shorter than my regular chapters, but at least you got what you wanted, please review, telling me about what you think of this chapter, thank you!
