OMG SO MANY REVIEWS. Well on to the chapter! ;D
Twistedpaw's knees buckled. She tripped and fell to the ground. Her eyes rolled back into her head, and she squinted them shut as the Clan began to crowd her.
Exile? But I haven't done anything wrong! I just have a twisted paw, no more! This paw has ruined my life!
Twistedpaw sat up. "Why? Why must you banish me? Tell me! Tell me!"
Flightstar did not answer. He nodded to three warriors, Stormheart Twigpelt and Cinderleaf, who created a triangular barricade around Twistedpaw and led her to the entrance. "I-I'm sorry," Cinderleaf stuttered.
"No! Stop! I don't want to leave!" Tears soaked Twistedpaw's face. She turned her damp head to see Rainfire's head hanging so low that she must be breathing in dirt. Swiftbolt and Runningshine sat side by side, Stripepaw and Stormpaw between them.
Runningshine looked extremely guilty, but also determined. Swiftbolt had no trace of guilt on his face. In fact, he looked satisfied. Twistedpaw was appalled. Her parents were showing her no sympathy. She broke through the barricade, crashing past multiple warriors that tried to hold her back.
She slid to a stop in front of Runningshine. "You were in on it! You spoke to Flightstar!" She turned her gaze to her father. "You did, too! I just know it!"
Flightstar padded calmly toward Twistedpaw. "Rainfire had been giving me a daily report on your progress. She told me every day that you fell to the ground whenever you exceeded a trot. WindClan warriors must run. Swiftbolt and Runningshine came to me saying it was better if WindClan did not have you. I told Rainfire, and she agreed-" Flightstar's gaze hardened as a look of horror appeared on Tistedpaw's face- "against her will. I'm sorry, Twistedpaw."
Featherleaf suddenly burst through the crowd, an aftershock of Snowpaw crashing behind her. "Flightstar, are you mad? This apprentice hasn't wronged us in any way but you still choose to banish her? That's a new low, Flightfire."
Flightstar's ears flattened. "Flightstar, thank you very much, and no, I'm not mad. This is a decision that must be made."
"You may as well go by your warrior name. You're not worthy enough to be leader." Snowpaw stepped forward, nodding in agreement with her mentor.
"Featherleaf, calm down. I'm sorry, but I will not change my choice." Flightstar met eyes with Stormheart, who spoke quietly to Twigpelt and Cinderleaf. The group walked over and rounded up Twistedpaw, who no longer yelped and thrashed. She let the wet tears stream freely down her face, staring with intense hatred at her parents.
Why don't they love me?
Twistedpaw stopped at the entrance to look at the clearing for the last time. Seeing the familiar grassy camp, she shuddered. She could never survive as a loner. Perhaps she could find a band of rogues and join them? It would be difficult.
She raised her voice above the whispers, stretching her neck high above others' heads. The Clan fell silent. "I'm leaving, and you won't see me again. That is why I wish to speak my thoughts now." Her gaze swept across the moor cats. "I've never been at home here. No one appreciates who I am, all because of my paw. If it weren't twisted, would you all accept me?"
The Clan didn't answer. They all glanced at each other nervously, shuffling their paws. "I take that as a yes. Well, you all need to learn how to look inside of someone, not outside. If you ever do, come find me." Twistedpaw swallowed back a lump in her throat. Even Stripepaw and Stormpaw looked shocked. All the apprentices but Grasspaw looked somewhat satisfied with this decision. Twistedpaw frowned, leaving the camp for the last time.
"Where do I go now?" she asked herself. Looking up, she saw gray clouds swirling across the sky. "Perfect time for a storm."
Twistedpaw's eyes drooped sadly as she peered at the lake. She had to leave the territories. But she had never known anything besides these grounds, so how could she leave?
Turning to the WindClan border opposite of the lake, Twistedpaw loped towards it. A while of walking followed until she got to the edge. Drinking in the WindClan scent one more time, she crossed the border, setting paw in unknown territory, with unknown surprises waiting.
WELL She's upset. AND THAT IS THE END OF THIS FIC.
… NO I'M KIDDING WE'RE SO FAR FROM THE END XD
