Chapter 4

(A/N: Thanks Rainpath for the song idea! Thanks for all the reviews people! And Rainpath, I had a great time message bombing you, we HAVE to do it again sometime XD)

(Song used; Second Chance- Shinedown)
Tawnypaw POV: (taking place while she is an apprentice. So basically around The Darkest Hour)

Why couldn't they just give me a chance?

I deserve a second chance to prove myself! It shouldn't matter who my father is! It's no fair!

My eyes are open wide
By the way I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out today

So I decided to leave today. Right after these elders started insulting me and making mean comments earlier. I'm leaving and going to Shadowclan. No one wants me here. All because those jerks wouldn't give me a second chance!

I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

It was my best chance. I'd miss Brambleclaw. My brother. He wouldn't want to come with me. He thinks he can prove himself here. He ignored the comments. I couldn't. It went straight to my head. If they only trusted me! If only they had given me a chance! They are missing out on one of the best hunters and best future warrior ever. They'll regret it. And I'll miss my mother too I realized. But she'll live. She has Brambleclaw.

Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today
Goodbye was my only chance. And I jumped to take it. Poor Fireheart tried to trust me...

And Brambleclaw has faith in Thunderclan...but mine's been lost.

I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Everyone will understand one day. And they'll ask me to come back, even. Well, maybe. And I'll say no, because I am loyal to my clan, the clan that has accepted me for who I am, not who my father is. That's all I want. Trust. Acceptence.

Here is my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Another chance.

Goodbye. I'm going...home
