**Brooklyn


They wanted answers. Everywhere he turned there were faces looking for answers.

Well he didn't have any.

And he was tired of the question. "What should we do?"

They tormented him with that question. He didn't have the answers. How could anyone have those answers?

It was a mistake, that's all. He never should have been made the Second.

But there she was, standing in front of him, pleading for a solution. The tears half-formed around her feline eyes.

But she wasn't crying for him.

Did it matter that the tears were for another? Should it? Didn't it only matter that she was hurting?

He knew the answer.

He hated the part of him that knew the answer. But he made his choice however much he didn't want it…

"What's all the commotion then?"

"Talon needs our help. Let's go,"

"I thought you didn't want to lead us, lad,"

"This has nothing to do with what I want. You better come along this time Hudson. We'll need all the help we can get,"

"Is that an order then?"

"Yeah…I guess it is,"


This scene is from Kingdom where Brooklyn finally decides to lead the clan when Goliath went missing. It actually takes Maggie crying to him about Talon being held captive for him to make the decision to lead the clan. Up until then he was letting everyone else make decisions that ultimately just screwed-up the whole missing-Goliath-thing even worse. I tried to put a little bit of Brooklyn's pinning for Maggie in there as well. Oh and I'm dedicating this moment to NinjaSheik since Brooklyn is her favorite.
