I slowly crept closer, my back arched. My father was fighting with my friend, Dovetail. I lashed my tail angrily. My father is a monster, he deserves to die! I leaped, landing onto my fathers back. I dug my claws deep into his back. I smiled in satisfaction as he cried out in pain. I've waited moons to hear his pitiful wails! Now the time has finally come!
"Dovetail! I've got this!" I called to my friend who wriggled away from my father's grasp. He fell backwards, crushing my under his weight. I gasped for air as he flipped over, pinning me to the ground. I stared into his amber eyes.
"Mistypaw." He hissed.
"That was my name long ago, when you sent me away. My name is Mistycloud." I spat, struggling to get free from his powerful grasp. I bit his paw and flipped him over as he winced in pain.
"Is this how you killed your brother?" He taunted. I shuddered at the memory. I had been separated from my family for moons and I murdered my own brother in battle. I shook the thought out of my head and turned my attention back to Shadowstar.
"I should have been safe as an apprentice." I growled, slashing his flank. His amber eyes flared, I could see his lip quiver. He's thirsty for blood, my blood.
"I had to send someone away." Shadowstar hissed, clawing the left side of my face. I swatted his paw away, my teeth barred. My tail lashed wildly as I waited for his next move.
"But you had to send away your daughter." I scoffed.
"You murdered your brother, of course I sent you away. I didn't want a killer in my Clan." He hissed, leaping at me. I moved to the side and he landed with his face in the dirt. I jumped onto his back, my claws piercing into his fur.
"Well, I'm not the only murderer am I? Your own perfect little son killed his brother, didn't he?" I smirked, digging my claws deeper as he howled in pain.
"Ravenpaw was supposed to be dead." Shadowstar spat.
"Well, he is dead now isn't he? Ashpaw killed him." I whispered in his ear before biting it as hard as I could.
"You know, I admire how hard you're trying." Shadowstar said, struggling to get me off his back. He tried falling backward but the more he tried the deeper I dug my claws.
"How does it feel? To have your life in the paws of someone who despises you?" I snarled, putting all my weight onto my front paws. He screamed as my claws dug into his shoulders.
"You are forgetting I have seven lives left." He coughed up red droplets into the dirt.
"Good, then I can watch you suffer seven times until your dead." I said cheerfully. I gently dug my fangs into the back of his neck. Before I could sink them in deep, I was spitting up dirt. Someone had pried me off the StormClan leader. I turned around, my eyes wild to find who had interrupted. I stared into the eyes of my brother, Fuzzynose.
"Fuzzynose, why did you do that? I had him." My sister, Mistycloud growled. I glanced behind me where my father was coughing on the ground, trying to gain his strength back.
"He's our father. You can't kill him." I insisted. She won't attack me. I'm her brother. I thought. But she killed Stormpaw, and he was her brother. I argued mentally with myself. No, she didn't know that was her brother. She knows its me. She won't attack me. I declared, but part of me wasn't sure.
"He deserves to die!" She hissed, lashing her tail angrily.
"Yes he does. I'll admit that, but you still can't kill him." I told her. She glared at my, her amber eyes flaring wildly in anger.
"Move out of the way Fuzzynose, I don't want to hurt you. Shadowstar deserves to die." She snarled, unsheathing her claws and arching her back.
"Mistycloud, you can't. Shadowstar deserves to die, but he won't. The best punishment would be to let him live. He has no one, all his kits hate him." I told her. hopefully she'll believe that.
"Step aside Fuzzynose." Mistycloud growled, as if she hadn't heard a word I had said.
"Mistycloud, don't do this. You'll regret it." I told her.
"No, I won't. Fuzzynose, who matters more to you? Me? Or him?" Mistycloud asked. How can I choose between the two of them?
"Fuzzynose, I'm your father. I took care of you when your mother died. I raised you and we created a Clan." Shadowstar coughed.
"No, don't listen to him. Fuzzynose, I'm your sister. The only reason I wasn't there when we were kits was because he left me behind. Once we were together again it was him who sent me away." Mistycloud insisted. Who matters more to me, my sister or my father?
