Dawn of the Clans: Cats' Tales

by Icebreathstar

For anyone who has read Dawn of the Clans, this is an explanation of cats' personalities and includes a oneshot. Each chapter is a different cat. I need everyone to read, and more importantly, review and tell me which cat from Dawn of the Clans I should write next. I need your help here people... If this is well received and I get reviews I may do other arcs. ;)

2. Two: Tall Shadow

Hey, I'm back! Before February, too. Added bonus! And I'm really sorry this chapter is so short, but this is kinda a side story at the moment, so I'm lucky to be able to update at all. I will do at least 8 more chapters till I hit "Complete" though. New story: Wrong Or Right, PJO romance oneshot songfics. all PJO fans, please check it out! I think it's my fave story I'm writing at the moment. So sit back, relax, and review at the bottom of the page! Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors and I never will, Erin Hunter does.

Tall Shadow is generally not talkative unless she is speaking to the whole group. However her leadership has been questioned and she asked Gray Wing to take over. She advises him on what to do now, and is opening up a little more. However her brother Moon Shadow recently died so she has reenclosed in her bubble of silence. She may not have been ready to assume leadership when their leader died on the trip from the mountains, and she's gone through so much since…

Tall Shadow's Story: Was I Ready?

I couldn't believe it. Shaded Moss was just…..gone. In one second, the monster had run him over and he died. I had tried to be as OK as I could, but I just didn't know if I could get over it. Then, moons later, I lost Shaded Moss. My leadership was questioned, and I thought they might be right. Maybe I wasn't the right cat to lead. Looking back now, countless moons later, when I'm old and fading in StarClan, after fire has saved the clans, I can tell I wasn't ready then. Maybe I would've been, if I'd had a little more time. But now I'm interrupted from my reveries by a gentle voice.

"Shadowstar, I have a vole for you. Would you like to go to the Basking Rocks and eat it?" Ahhhh, its Cinderpelt. She always liked to sit and talk with me, but I haven't seen her since the Great Battle.

"Of course, Cinderpelt." I reply, heaving myself up from my nest. "The best thing about StarClan," I say, "Is that the old feel young…." Amusement glints in her eyes.

"What, you're not saying you're old, are you?" I chuckle.

"Of course not. I was just thinking how nice it is you look so spry."

"Huff!" Cinderpelt snorts, indignant. My amusement dies away as I think about my brother, Moon Shadow, and poor Shaded Moss. They would enjoy this so much. She notices my solemnity.

"An acorn for your thoughts, Shadowstar." I look her in the eyes.

"I was just thinking that even though I may not have at first been ready for my leadership, at least I don't have to worry about that anymore."

Well, how was it? Review and tell me. Should I do Turtle Tail or Jagged Peak next? Warning: I will not be posting until I get at least two revies or more telling their opinion. ;)
