"Fernpaw, didn't you miss me?" I heard Swiftpaw ask his sister.
"No! You are a filthy Unwanted!" Fernpaw spat, clawing at her brother. Most littermates were like that now, one fighting the other. I turned away from the two cats, and spotted someone else. My pelt bristled in anger as Ashpaw narrowed his eyes at me. He slowly stalked over, his teeth snarling. Bring it on. I thought bitterly.
"If it isn't the stupid Unwanted." Ashpaw snarled.
"You're just as heartless as Shadowstar!" I spat, slashing at his face. He ducked his head, my claws raking his ears.
"You are nothing but a filthy Unwanted!" Ashpaw hissed, clawing the side of my face.
"How does it feel to know that you killed your brother?" I snarled, slashing his flank. He swatted my claws away before I could get deep enough to do any damage.
"He wasn't my brother. My brother died the moment he was marked as an Unwanted." Ashpaw scoffed.
"You killed him. You killed Ravenpaw. You killed your brother." I seethed, clawing his flank. Ashpaw squealed in pain, shoving me away from him.
"He wasn't my brother! I did what should have happened moons ago! He was supposed to be dead already! I didn't kill my brother, he was already dead." Ashpaw screamed, leaping at me. Ravenpaw please give me the strength to fight our brother!
"Snowberry, aren't you happy?" I asked hopefully, she had me cornered in the bracken. She'll be different from the rest. I just know she will be. I thought hopefully.
"You shouldn't be alive. You should be dead. you should all be dead. Maybe we can fix that." My mother growled, unsheathing her claws.
"Snowberry, I'm your son! Aren't you even the slightest bit happy I'm still alive and not really dead?" I asked her. Why doesn't she love me? Does it matter that I was Unwanted?
"You aren't my son, not anymore." She hissed stalking towards me.
"Snowberry no!" Frostpaw screamed, leaping in front of me. I smiled as my brother came to my rescue. I'm lucky he still loves me, I can't say the same for many of the other cats.
"Frostpaw, what are you doing?" Snowberry growled.
"I'm not going to let you harm Snakepaw. He's my brother. He always has been and he always will be. Unwanted or not." Frostpaw said firmly.
"Frostpaw, get out-of-the-way." She growled, arching her back.
"No." Frostpaw hissed. Snowberry shoved him to the side and began stalking closer to me again.
"No! You won't harm our son." Fuzzynose leaped in front of me just as Frostpaw had done. What is Fuzzynose talking about?
"Fuzzynose, get out-of-the-way." Snowberry growled.
"No. I'm not letting you hurt our son. I thought we had lost him once, I won't go through that again." He shook his head. Fuzzynose can't be my father! It's against the warrior code!
Hey. Sorry I haven't updated in a bit. This chapter is short because I'm too depressed to get into my writing. That's all I could write without bursting out crying. It will take me a while to write the next chapter, I'll try to make it longer.
