Hello! Welcome back all!
PhoenixRune: Let us hold a moment of silence for Ivypool's life choices
...
Um, not much else to say.
*awkwardness intensifies*
This chapter may cover slight suicidal thoughts, but not that much, so be cautious
Enjoy!
Heathertail POV
'Decisions are hard to make but easier to execute' is what Whitetail told me once. There were mixed on that, and now I'm here proving the opposite.
Decisions are easy to make but harder to execute.
I've found myself at the top of the cliff, where the sea thrashes about madly far, far below. To fall would result in death, almost certain death. Which is why I was there
Lionblaze was the only light in my life. He was funny, kind, and he always did his best for me. But his sister and my friend Breezepelt never liked seeing us together. They always thought that two people from different teams don't really fit together. But he made me so happy…
But I knew we had to stop.
It tore my heart to not see him in the way I'd always loved. I was nothing before him, and the smallest something with him. And now I've been reduced to nothing again, a target for being me, entertainment for the cruel. I'm a toy for them, to be played with and discarded whenever they feel, and because I had to move on from a relationship their taunts got worse. I felt the same as I did before.
Just a brittle leaf, drifting along with the wind.
And so it would be so much simpler for me to not be a worry for anyone anymore. No one cares about me, so why should I remain? Why should I not just throw myself to Death?
I decided
But as I stood there, I was scared.
Scared of what was beyond dying
Scared of the pain
Scared of death
Scared of what would happen to those who maybe...did care
I supposed they were natural
But I always told myself to be brave
Be brave, Heathertail, be brave
I opened my eyes and looked out into the sky, the wind whipping my hair back
So as I look death in the eye and tense, ready to jump
I am brave
Muahaha now you will have to wait until the next chapter to see what her fate is
Please don't kill me
Hazeltail POV
History can be interesting sometimes.
Like when you get to learn about the origins of the Five Islands.
Okay I think I'd better explain.
The Five Islands are what is says on the box, really. Five islands. One is the Mainland -the largest- in the direct center, where all of the bigger shops are, often where people go prom dress shopping. It also has a strange thing called the Moonstone, where we of course have to wait until graduation to learn more about. I can't remember any experiences there, but they say that when you first start Preschool -which is on the mainland- you are taken there to receive a kind of surname. Like I was Hazel before I went to preschool, but I must've been given the suffix 'tail' there. When we graduate, I'm guessing we get something new? There are rumours about having your suffix changed to 'star' but I'm not too sure how true they are. There's also a town where the homeschoolers go.
The next four islands are smaller and surround the Mainland. The one I'm on right now is Altum Isle, which is Latin for high I believe. That's where the High School is. It's got smaller businesses on and also the two piers. It's quite homely.
The next is Mons Isle, Latin for mountain. It is literally an island made of mountains, with no room for shops and the like. It is home to only Rushing Water Academy, and I see no logic in the school existing at all. It's hard to get food supplies shipped in, and there have been several rumours that some students starve to death. Most are believed. Mons Isle is extremely close to Altum Isle, and every few months they touch, making travel to either possible. The next one is scheduled for some time in December, barely a month away.
Then there's Aether Isle, which translates to sky. It's home to SkyClan Academy, or SkyClan High, and is an island similar to Altum Isle but with fewer shops, and the school is seated in a large gorge which is prone to flooding from time to time, and I don't know why they haven't moved it.
Finally there is Somnio Isle, translating to dream, which is the largest of the smaller islands. It is where Warriors University is, and surrounded by businesses and houses, and then a Wildlife Conservation Area too. Anyone from the three schools can go, though I've never heard of anyone outside of Warriors High going. I guess they have their own universities or colleges elsewhere.
Apparently five 'Clans' and one 'Tribe' arrived over here from far away Mainlands elsewhere. They were our ancestors. They settled on their individual islands and eventually they grew into modern societies. Legend has it that when they first found the Moonstone, a great mirac-
I'm interrupted from my thoughts whilst reading the textbook when I hear a scream.
Honeyfern POV
This may sound strange, but the school roof is often my favourite place to relax and do homework. It's refreshing in the Spring months, quiet, and the views are great. Not to mention the barriers around the edge block out the wind in the colder months, so as the November wind howls around me, I am sheltered.
And I am thankful for the great view because I can see someone standing at the edge of the cliff not too far away. I watch them curiously, then realise they are tense, ready to jump.
Then it clicks, and I scream
