I'm not like other cats. Sure, I still have a tail, paws, all that fun stuff, but what really stands out for me is my eyes. One a light blue, the other dark blue. Pretty cool, right? You might think other cats would be like, "Wow! Your eyes are so pretty" or " Those are amazing eyes you have there.". Wrong. In my Clan I don't have many friends or family because of my eyes. I can explain that.
When I was just a moon old, my brother died. He had a cough that wouldn't go away. The medicine cat tried to heal him but nothing worked. Until one day he collapsed in a coughing fit and couldn't breathe. The moment he went limp, I couldn't think or breathe of what I had witnessed.
Now, that doesn't seem like something my clanmates would hate me for, right? Well, I'm not finished with the story just yet. After my brother died, my mother went into depression and didn't talk to anyone. Not even to me. She wouldn't eat or drink. Nothing. It was the worst four moons of my life. I was also grieving. And they started to talk. "Is she the reason for their deaths?" they would say. Key word; their. I didn't mention? My father died three days before my brother and I were born. My mother didn't mention him much. And I never got the chance to ask again when she died.
Yup, a lot of deaths, right? I know. I lost all my family in my first six moons. I grieved and the worst part of it was that there was no one else in the Clan to care for me. Cats blamed me for all the deaths, saying that my eyes are a curse and whoever got close to me (not physically) would eventually die. I tried making friends but they would always back away with some excuse. Not even the other kits wanted to play with me.
Now I can probably guess what you are feeling. Pity perhaps? Well, I don't want that. I never wanted anyone after I realized no one in my Clan loved me. That is, until they decided to put my 'curse' to the test.
It was the day of my apprentice ceremony. I was so excited despite my family not being there. I remember my fur sticking all over the place, so I had to clean myself, determined to make a good impression to my new mentor, whoever that would be.
Snowstar called a Clan meeting and all of ThunderClan gathered in the clearing. I could hear faint whispers and grunts, plus some not-so-good looks coming my way. I was too excited to care. I was made an apprentice, Stormpaw of Thunderclan. My mentor didn't seem to be pleased about the decision, but he went along with it. We had a good mentor-apprentice relationship, nothing more. I was just happy to be close to some cat. I learned to hunt, fight, and other useful skills to be a warrior. My mentor, Owlsight, was determined to have me prove myself to the clan. And it was starting to work. My clanmates would say "maybe she isn't a curse after all." I made friends with the other apprentices. That was the best moon of my life..
Can you guess what happened next? Owlsight died, taking the fall for me in a battle against ShadowClan. Owlsight and the ShadowClan she-cat ended up killing each other. In the next few heartbeats, my life was torn apart all over again. I never got another mentor. I was just the outcast in ThunderClan. It's sad really, I never wanted to be close to anyone again. I started to believe that I was cursed.
But I never realized how good it felt to be loved again.
A/N
I decided to make the main Character like me, in looks. And yup! I have two different colored eyes. Light blue and dark blue with a little hazel in them, just like Stormpaw.
YAYYY NO MORE GRAMMER MISTAKES :D
I hope
