My Lost Kin: Leafpool and Squirrelflight

Leafpool:

Leafpool, my daughter, was always close to me. Unlike Sandstorm or I, she had a light tabby pelt, with golden eyes and white paws. She grew up as a kit alongside her sister, Squirrelflight. However, Leafpool began to drift away from me as she took her path to become a medicine cat. Every cat could see it was right.

Leafpool, (Leafpaw at the time,) always had a strong connection to StarClan. And what was more unusual was that she could feel her sister's emotions.

Leafpaw had always been loyal to ThunderClan, but heartbroken when Squirrelflight, (then Squirrelpaw,) left to journey to the Sun-Down place. Throughout her grief, she had stayed calm and collected, and always put the Clan's needs before her own.

Leafpaw had witnessed many things in her young life while with the Clans. She had seen the prophecy 'Fire and Tiger' with Cinderpelt, which predicted chaos and trouble for the Clans. Leafpaw watched in horror, as twolegs ripped apart part of our territory, with monsters, bigger than the ordinary ones that roared on the Thunderpath.

Leafpaw still believed in StarClan, and followed the warrior code, helping the sick when more of our territory was destroyed.

Leafpaw told me, that on one journey where she visited the Moonstone, Spottedleaf had visited her. I now know that Spottedleaf had guided my daughter throughout her time with the Clan cats, to become the great medicine cat she would rise to be. The young she-cat had been more confident with the StarCat to guide her.

Just before Squirrelpaw returned, Leafpaw was taken by the twolegs. She had been out patrolling with Sorreltail, and was captured and put into a big metal nest. She had been scared and refused to eat the kittypet food that they gave her. Graystripe, Squirrelpaw, Brambleclaw and others managed to free her and Cody, a kittypet.

She had returned happily, and with Cody, both helped feed and heal our starving Clan. Leafpaw had been devastated and unsure of her place when she allowed Hollykit to die. She understood that at the time, she should have seen how cold the young she-cat was, but forgot and another one of Ferncloud's kits died at her paws.

Spottedleaf had given Leafpool a vision of where the Clan cat would have to journey to, after the cats that went to find Midnight, returned. Leafpaw led us through the mountains and beyond to a great lake. That is where we are settled now and living in peace.

We had all been worried about where to hold our Gathering and what would replace the Moonstone. Again, Spottedleaf came to Leafpaw in a dream, showing her the way up a small mountain, guided by starlight to the Moonpool. The cats of StarClan told her that that is where StarClan would meet leader's and medicine cats. Leafpaw returned and told the cats of ThunderClan, which spread throughout the other three Clans.

Leafpaw and Cinderpelt left us at half-moon to go to the Moonpool. The other medicine cats were there, to commune with StarClan just like they did with the Moonstone.

When Leafpaw returned, she had been accepted by StarClan, and was now Leafpool, no longer an apprentice but a full medicine cat, alongside Cinderpelt.

Leafpool had there after been unsure, and not so loyal.

It was unfortunate, but Leafpool fell in love. She met Crowfeather, a wild and prickly WindClan warrior. I don't know how, but they both found that they loved each other.

Leafpool left the Clans with Crowfeather. She forgot about StarClan, although she had followed them and believed they were always watching, even when we could not see Silverpelt.

Leafpool returned, to save Sorreltail at her kitting from badgers. Cinderpelt died, but was content to know that her replacement had returned.

However, Leafpool re-left the Clans, claiming she had lost too much, and still in love with Crowfeather. They both departed and never came back, and I doubt Leafpool regrets it.

She followed her heart, and broke many when she walked away from us.

Squirrelflight:

Squirrelpaw was always hard to control. Unlike her sister Leafpaw, she went on to become a warrior and serve ThunderClan.

Squirrelpaw had a fiery pelt like me, and emerald eyes like her mother. Her personality was sharp and easy to hurt, and Squirrelpaw didn't really listen to what she was told to do.

I began to watch her every moment after Cinderpelt received an omen from StarClan. Together we discovered that Squirrelpaw was getting close to the warrior Brambleclaw. This was what the prophecy was talking about, Squirrelpaw is my daughter, and Brambleclaw was the son of Tigerstar. I thought that together, they could cause the destruction of ThunderClan. I was wrong; instead, they could both save our Clan. But it was too late, Squirrelpaw left with Brambleclaw to journey and find Midnight.

I didn't see my daughter for a long time, until she returned to ThunderClan, shortly after Leafpaw disappeared. Squirrelpaw went and saved her sister, but lost Graystripe at the same time.

Squirrelpaw and Brambleclaw both lead the way to the mountains after telling us that we needed to leave. She looked strong and sure of herself, I was proud of my kin.

When we arrived at the lake, I named Squirrelpaw a warrior, giving her the name Squirrelflight.

Squirrelflight then went with the original journeying cats, to find ThunderClan a territory. It was like losing her again, I know that as a warrior, she would have forgotten her heritage and become loyal to StarClan and her Clan like any other, but it hurt to know that.

Squirrelflight returned with news of a great place to make camp. We settled in nicely, and the new camp was well guarded.

But my daughter began to drift away from me even more, just like Leafpool, as she became less and less trustworthy of Brambleclaw. She stopped listening to me, forgetting her Clan and I couldn't bear to see her the way she was.

Sandstorm was distraught and knew that Squirrelflight was suffering from heartache, but we both couldn't do anything to help our kin.

On one fateful day, Squirrelflight sacrificed herself to save Brambleclaw.

They were patrolling by ShadowClan, and Brambleclaw ran into Russetfur and a ShadowClan patrol. The deputy wasn't happy about it and attacked viciously, claiming that ThunderClan had finally gone too far, remembering the other times we had gone too close to their border.

Squirrelflight jumped in front and caught the fiery she-cat off guard, but became too injured in the process, the rest of the patrol angry and annoyed at the intrusion.

It was a mere flesh wound to her chest, just a scrape that had gone too deep, causing too much blood loss, which had caused her end.

Squirrelflight apologised to Brambleclaw for everything she had turned on him for, understanding he had trusted his own mind and told him that she would be waiting, as she left and joined StarClan.

I was glad to know she had cleared her mind and made peace with the warrior before leaving, because she had hurt herself trying to hate him.

But I miss her so much, because now even Leafpool isn't here to comfort me.

Thankyou everyone for you're reviews, next chapter will be up soon, I hope I didn't miss anything here...
