"Oakwing? Oakwing, Bluefrost wants u-OAKWING?" My tail spiked and lashed in anger. Oaktuft was pressing his muzzle against Snowheart. She looked shocked, but was soon enjoying herself. My eyes narrowed in fury. My brother knew I was in love with Snowheart. So why would he do this to me? At my shout, they pulled apart, and I shook my head, backing up. I turned and ran out of the ThunderClan camp, my rusty-brown tail waving behind me.
"Finchfoot, wait! Please, I can explain!" My brother desperately ran after me. "Explain what!?", I hissed, "There is nothing to explain. You, my own kin, took the one I loved before I could open my mouth. But Snowheart loves you, that much is clear." I snorted disdainfully, pelt bristling.
Oakwing opened his mouth, but I cut in, my claws digging into the ground. By now, a small crowd of cats had gathered around us. "You knew. You knew I liked her. Yet you went BEHIND MY BACK! We promised we'd be friends, and brothers forever! WHAT HAPPENED TO 'WE'LL ALWAYS TELL EACH OTHER EVERYTHING'? MAYBE IF YOU HAD TOLD ME, WE COULD BE HAPPY! BUT NO! SO NOW YOU CAN FEEL WHAT I FEEL!"
Rage, fuelled by hurt, slowly took over. Oakwing stammered, as I advanced towards him, claws out. "I'm sorry, Finchfoot, I..I", he looked at me with pleading green eyes.
Snowheart called out from the crowd. "Please no! Don't do this to yourselves!"
In one quick motion, I swiped my claws through the air. "That, was for stealing my love." I swiped again and again, drawing blood from his chest until there was simply none left. I sneered at him, the exact replica of me. "You see? Now you feel my pain, like a stab to the heart."
He croaked out a reply. "Finchfoot...I still...love..you". My eyes softened, but the hurt came back and I plunged my paw into his chest for good measure. His eyes glazed over, and he was dead.
ThunderClan gasped, and the rage simmered down. I felt like I had just woken up. I glanced around breathing heavily. My Clanmates wore expressions of fear and shock, too frozen to do anything. Even the deputy, Bluefrost, was unmoving.
I looked down at my paws. They were bloodstained, and at my feet was a dead, bloody body. I had killed my brother.
"No. No, no, no, no, NO!" I scanned the crowd. Snowheart was shattered. Everyone was shattered. I'd destroyed everything I loved because of my jealousy.
I backed away from everyone as Dewstar's patrol returned. "What in the name of StarCl- Oh my...what has happened here!?" Her gaze landed on the scene before me. "Finchfoot, you didn't...YOU BROKE THE CODE!? You...killed..your own brother!?" Dewstar shook her head, refusing to believe her own son had done this.
"I..I" There was nothing I could say, no way I could fix this mistake, take it back.
Dewstar's eyes hardened. I knew what was coming. "I never thought I would have to do this. And to my own son. But you leave me no choice, Finchfoot. From this moment forth...", she paused here, to collect herself, "I...banish you from ThunderClan."
Her eyes watered, and I knew why. She had no family now. Her mate and son were dead, and I was just as good as gone.
Filled with remorse, I turned and left my Clan. Far out of the territory, I let out a caterwaul.
What have I done?
Well, here is a nice, sad story...hope you liked!
Moons, I cried a bit writing this...WHY AM I SO DARK AND SCARY?!
Don't answer that.
Sadly, Clearly.
